The three-storied stone pagoda located in Seungansaji temple site consists mainly of medium to fine-grained biotite granite and granitic gneiss, and partly macrocrystalline gneiss, muscovite gneiss and gabbro. The surface of the stone pagoda is extensively colonized by lichen and moss due to surrounding trees and lawns, and severly deteriorated. Therefore, a comprehensive deterioration diagnosis has been carried out and conservation treatment was conducted in this study. For the conservation treatment, dry cleaning is performed throughout all the surface of the pagoda for naturally grown lichen and biological contaminants using a soft brush and wooden knife. Crustose lichen strongly adhere to the surface was removed by wet cleaning using distilled water. Also, protective railings were reinstalled to an appropriate height with taking the distance from the stone pagoda into account. Finally, the ground around the stone pagoda was repaired with clay sand, and dike was installed with a natural gradient to facilitate water drainage.

In order to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of geochemical parametrs in surface sediments of the artificial Lake Shihwa in the vicinity of Kyunggi Hay in Korea, surface sediments were sampled at 14 sites in July 2007 and analyzed by CHN analyzer and ICP/MS. Metal concentrations in the sediments tended to be decreasing from the head to the mouth of the Lake Shihwa because of extreme pollutant discharge from various kinds of anthropogenic sources such as the Banweol and Shihwa Industrial Complex and cities. With the deposition of fine-grained sediments, high metal concentrations were also observed in the central part of lake. Although various programs(improvement of wastewater collection and treatment system, sea-lake water exchange etc) to improve the environmental conditions around the Lake Shihwa after dike construction were carried out, it was not dear to reach a good environmental quality. Therefore, further environmental programs should be conducted continuously for environmental improvement.

The small loop electromagnetic (EM) method is a fast and convenient geophysical tool which can provide resistivity distribution of shallow subsurface. Especially, it can be a useful alternative of resistivity method in a very conductive environment such as a reclaimed saline land. We applied the multi-frequency small loop EM method for the site investigation of reclaimed saline land. We inverted the measured EM data using one dimensional (1D) inversion program and merged to obtain three dimensional (3D) resistivity distribution over the survey area. Finally, comparing he EM results with the drill log and measured soil resistivity sampled at 16 drill holes, we can define the site character such as thickness of landfill, salinity distribution, and etc.

Self-potential (SP) surveys measure naturally occurring differences in electrical potential in the absence of artificial sources and have been applied to various fields since the first application in mineral explorations. Among various causes of SP occurrences, streaming potential is generated by the flow of groundwater, and makes SP surveys suitable for the exploration of groundwater table fluctuation, fractures, sinkholes and landslide occurrences. Recently, there has been many studies that applied SP surveys to monitor water leakage through dikes and embankments. In this review paper, we first review the characteristics and theoretical backgrounds of streaming potential in saturated or unsaturated porous media to introduce it in the embankment among various application field. After the review of the background theory, we review the past cases of field SP surveys on dikes and embankments and also the characteristics of field streaming potential data in the surveys. Further, by analyzing past studies of qualitative as well as quantitative interpretation of SP survey data, we show the possibility of quantitative interpretation of streaming potential data obtained on dikes and embankments. Consequently, it is hope that this review paper helps researches on SP surveys on dikes and embankments, and provides basis for interpretation methods of the SP data to identify leaked area and further leakage rate (or permeability).

Surface water temperature of a bay (from the south to the north) increases in spring and summer, but decreases in autumn and winter. Due to shallow water depth, freshwater outflow, and weak current, the water temperature in the central to northern part of the bay is greatly affected by the land coast and air temperature, with large fluctuations. Water temperature variations are large in the north-east coast of the bay, but small in the south-west coast. The difference between water temperature and air temperature is greater in winter and in the south-central part of the bay than that in the north to the eastern coast of the bay where sea dykes are located. As the bay goes from south to north, the range of water temperature fluctuation and the phase show increases. When fresh water is released from the sea dike, the surrounding water temperature decreases and then rises, or rises and then falls. The first mode of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) represents seasonal variation of water temperature. The second mode represents the variability of water temperature gradient in east-west and north-south directions of the bay. In the first mode, the maximum and the minimum are shown in autumn and summer, respectively, consistent with seasonal distribution of surface water temperature variance. In the second mode, phases of the coast of Seosan~Boryeong and the east coast of Anmyeon Island are opposite to each other, bordering the center of the deep bay. Periodic fluctuation of the first mode time coefficient dominates in the one-day and half-day cycle. Its daily fluctuation pattern is similar to air temperature variation. Sea conditions and topographical characteristics excluding air temperature are factors contributing to the variation of the second mode time coefficient.

한국농어촌공사 농어촌연구원은 하천 및 해안분야의 다양한 수리모형실험을 수행할 수 있는 대형 수리모형실험 시설을 2018년에 구축완료하였다. 국내 최대 규모의 실험장뿐만 아니라 첨단 광학용 계측장비(PIV 및 LDV 시스템)를 연계한 전용실험수로, 대형유사실험수로 등 7종의 기능별 실험수로를 갖추고 있어 다양한 수리현상 분석을 수행할 수 있다. 최근에는 산사태의 주요 원인중 하나인 토석류 실험, 방조제 주변의 침·퇴적 실험 등을 수행하였으며, 본 연구에서는 3D 지형스캐너를 활용한 방조제 주변의 지형변동 수리모형실험에 대하여 소개를 하고자 한다. 방조제는 조수가 육지쪽으로 밀려들어와 내부개발지역이나 농지 등을 해수로부터 보호하기 위해 설치되는 외곽시설이다. 이러한 방조제 전면의 빠른 유속에 의한 침식은 배후지의 안전에 상당히 큰 문제를 야기시킨다. 방조제의 침식을 방지하기 위하여 방조제 전면에 수제공을 설치하여 수제공과 수제공 사이의 느려진 유속에 의해 방조제 전면에 토사를 퇴적시키는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 방조제 전면에 수제공의 길이를 달리 설치하여 수제공 주변의 침·퇴적현상을 이동상 실험을 수행하여 분석하였다. 일반적으로 토사의 침·퇴적고를 계측하는 방법으로 일정한 격자망을 구성하여 각 지점별로 실험 전·후의 토사의 표고차를 수작업으로 계측한다. 이 경우는 실험자가 직접 측정하는 계측오차가 발생하게 되고 측정할 수 있는 지점의 수가 한계가 있어 전체적인 토사의 변화양상을 분석하기엔 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 농어촌연구원이 보유하고 있는 3D 지형스캐너를 활용하여 토사의 표고차를 측정하였다. 실험에 사용한 3D 지형스캐너의 최대 측정거리는 스캐너가 설치된 중심점으로부터 반경 80m에 해당하며, 해상도는 1.6mm~50mm의 범위로 수작업으로 격자망을 구성하여 측정하는 것보다 상당히 높은 수준의 결과를 취득할 수 있으며 계측시간을 단축할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 펄스레이저에 의한 지형스캔 방식은 수면과 같이 레이저가 투과할 수 없는 경우에는 계측이 불가능하며, 어두운 계열의 색을 스캔하는 경우 결과 분석에 주의할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이동상 재료로 안트라사이트(검은색)를 포설하였고, 검은색 계열의 실험사에도 3D 지형스캐너가 우수한 결과를 제공하는 것을 확인하였다.

Water quality simulations on the Saemangeum inner reservoir have been carried out using EFDC model to understand water quality variations caused by abrupt physical changes due to closing of tidal barrier. According to hydrodynamic simulation, model reproduces not only outer regional dynamics but also inner superelevation very well. Calibration and verification of water quality models accomplished using observed data taken before closing. Also sensitivity tests regarding riverine discharges and tidal flats were done. Due to enlarging of always wet zone caused by super elevation on inner tidal flats, predicted DO decreases at that region as a result of SOD. Moreover shrink of mixing zone after closing of dike causes deteriorating of water quality showing DO as 2 mg/L during summer at Mangyeong and Dongjin estuaries, however it does not spread to middle part of the reservoir. Vertical stratification occurs after closing and shows vertical differences in DO concentration at least 6 mg/L to 7 mg/L in summer season. Most part of the reservoir is getting stratified and it leads to an oxigen deficit zone near bottom.

This study has been executed to understand the additional and removal processes of nutrients in the Saemangeum Salt-water Lake, and discussed with other monthly-collected environmental parameters such as water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, suspended solids, and Chl-a from 2008 to 2010. $NO_3$-N, TP, $PO_4$-P, and DISi showed the removal processes along with the salinity gradients at the surface water of the lake, whereas $NO_2$-N, $NH_4$-N, and Chl-a showed addition trend. In the bottom water all water quality parameters except $NO_3$-N appeared addition processes indicating evidence of continuous nutrients suppliance into the bottom layer. The mixing modelling approach revealed that the biogeochemical processes in the lake consume $NO_3$-N and consequently added $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P to the bottom water during the summer seasons. The $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P appeared strong increase at the bottom water of the river-side of the lake and strong concentration gradient difference of dissolved oxygen also appeared in the same time. DISi exhibited continuous seasonal supply from spring to summer. Internal addition of $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P in the river-side of the lake were much higher than the dike-side, while the increase of DISi showed similar level both the dike and river sides. The temporal distribution of benthic flux for DISi indicates that addition of nutrients in the bottom water was strongly affected by other sources, for example, submarine ground-water discharge (SGD) through bottom sediment.

In September 2009, a perfectly preserved fossil of a dinosaur egg nest was discovered in the Cretaceous formations of the Aphaedo area in Shinan, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. In order to estimate the age of dinosaur eggshells and the depositional age of the Cretaceous sediments in Aphaedo area, a whole-rock K-Ar dating was carried out on volcanic pebbles showing a sedimentary structure contemporaneous with the Aphaedo strata, acidic tuffs overlaying the strata conformably, and acidic dike rocks intrude to both of them. Volcanic rocks observed in the strata are 3-20 cm in diameter as pebbles found in lenticular conglomerate and pebble bearing mudstone strata. K-Ar whole-rock dating was performed on six different volcanic pebbles which show a sedimentary structure contemporaneous with the dinosaur egg nest contained in the strata, and all samples show Late Cretaceous ages: Cenomanian ($97.6{\pm}1.9$Ma), Coniacian ($87.6{\pm}1.7$ Ma), Santonian ($84.5{\pm}1.7$Ma) or Campanian ($82.5{\pm}1.6$, $77.3{\pm}1.5$, $75.7{\pm}1.5$ Ma). The K-Ar whole-rock age of acidic tuffs overlaying the Cretaceous formation conformably was estimated to be Campanian ($79.2{\pm}1.6$ or $77.3{\pm}1.5$Ma), when the dating was carried out under the same conditions. The acidic dike intruding both Cretaceous formation and acidic tuff showed a K-Ar whole-rock age of $70.9{\pm}1.4$Ma (Campanian). Therefore, the depositional age of the Cretaceous formation in the Aphaedo area and the time when dinosaurs lived in the study area are considered to be 77-83 Ma. Such results indicate that the ages of dinosaur eggshells from Aphaedo area can be correlated with the ages of the Seonso Formation (81Ma) with dinosaur egg nest fossils and the Uhangri Formation (79-81Ma) with dinosaur, pterosaur and web-footed bird tracks.

Suspended particulate matter and organic carbon were measured in the Mankyoung river estuary in February, May, July and August 2003. There was a large variance in river discharge between the dry season of February and May and the wet season of July and August. The influx of dissolved organic carbon into the estuary was $8.16{\times}10^2tonC\;month^{-1}$ in the dry season and $5.77{\times}10^3tonC\;month^{-1}$ in the wet season. The influx of particulate organic carbon was $9.37{\times}10^2tonC\;month^{-1}$ and $3.14{\times}10^4tonC\;month^{-1}$ in the dry and wet seasons, respectively. Especially, dissolved organic carbon in the northern part of the site inside the dike was increased in July when torrential rainfall was high. In the research, the distribution of dissolved organic carbon showed conservative behavior with the salinity gradient in the estuary, suggesting that physical mixing between seawater and freshwater dominates the distribution pattern of the dissolved organic carbon in the system. However 60 to 90% of the particulate organic carbon introduced into the estuary was removed from the surface water at the upper estuarine mixing zone of low salinities, showing non-conservative behavior similar with suspended particulate matte r. The completion of the Saemangum Dike is likely to inhibit the exchange of materials between open sea and the Mankyoung estuary. This suggests that the oxidation of organic carbon in the bottom of the estuary may exhaust dissolved oxygen in the confined environment.
