  • 내성천은 경북 북부지역을 흐르는 모래하천으로 계절적 변동이 큰 수문학적 특성에 반응하여 발달하는 모래 하상의 역동성과 이른바 '화이트리버'라고 하는 경관상 고유성이 대표적인 하천이다. 하지만, 2010년부터 영주댐이 건설되기 시작하였고, 2015년 전후로 식생이 광범위하게 활착하는 등 하천 변화가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 변화를 객관적으로 분석하기 위해 영주댐 하류내성천을 대상으로 장기 모니터링을 실시하였으며 이 논문은 2012~2018년 기간에 대해 기상 수문 수질, 하도 형태, 하천 지형 및 식생 등 다각적인 측면의 조사 자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사 방법으로는 자료 수집, 수위계 운영, 드론/지상 사진 촬영, LiDAR 항공측량, 현장 조사 등을 포함되었다. 장기 모니터링을 통해 발견한 주요한 사실들은 다음과 같다. 2015년은 1982년 다음으로 심한 가뭄이 발생하였으며 이로 인해 여름철 첨두유량은 50년래 최저를 기록하였다. 내성천 하도의 식생 활착은 1987년부터 시작되었으며, 2013년 이전에는 하류 구간에서, 그 이후로는 전체 구간에서 식생 활착이 발생하였다. 그 중 일부 지점은 홍수로 인해 재나지화 되었으나 여러구간은 목본이 활착하였고, 퇴적으로 인해 하도의 형태 변화가 발생하기도 하였다. 내성천은 모래 하상의 본질적 특성을 유지해 왔지만, 최근 약간의 조립화 경향이 나타났으며, 조사 단면에서 최심하상의 저하가 관찰되었다. 조사 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 내성천에 나타난 변화는 주로 가뭄에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 이와 함께 영주댐이 하도 변화에 미친 영향에 대해 고찰하였다.

  • 대하천사업으로 4대강에 다기능보 건설 및 대규모 준설이 이루어졌으며, 그 과정을 통해 인위적으로 변화된 하천지형은 시간이 경과함에 따라 유사공급과 유수흐름 등 다양한 요인들의 복합적 영향 하에서 지속적 변화과정을 거치게 된다. 따라서 하천의 효율적인 운영 및 관리를 위해서는 하천지형에 대한 연속적인 측정 및 분석을 통해 하천유로의 지형학적 특성과 그 변화의 양상과 정도를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 중 하류 구간에 대하여 음향측심기를 이용한 수심측량을 통해 유로의 지형정보를 취득 분석하여 다기능보 건설 후 유로의 지형학적 특성에 있어서의 변화 양상을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 취득된 지형자료를 활용하여 유로 단면에 대한 기하학적 특성치들을 통한 형태학적 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 대하천사업 준공시 취득된 측량성과정보와의 비교를 통해 지형변화 양상과 정도를 파악하였다. 이를 통 해 대하천사업 이후 낙동강 중 하류 구간 유로의 지형변화 양상과 규모를 파악할 수 있었으며, 대하천사업 이후 준공측량성과를 기반으로 고시된 하천기본계획 상 지형정보의 정확성에 대해 평가할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 공간적 범위가 낙동강 중 하류 중 일부 구간들에 제한되었기에, 향후 본 연구에서 제안한 방법론을 활용한 지형특성 및 변화의 양상과 규모에 대한 지속적인 평가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The topography and geomorphology are complex and changeable in western China, so the railway transition section is common. To investigate the aerodynamic effect of the subgrade-tunnel transition section, including a cutting-tunnel transition section, an embankment-tunnel transition section and two typical scenarios for rail infrastructures, is selected as research objects. In this paper, models of standard cutting, embankment and CRH2 high-speed train with the scale of 1:20 were established in wind tunnel tests. The wind speed profiles above the railway and the aerodynamic forces of the vehicles at different positions along the railway were measured by using Cobra probe and dynamometric balance respectively. The test results show: The influence range of cutting-tunnel transition section is larger than that of the embankment-tunnel transition section, and the maximum impact height exceeds 320mm (corresponding to 6.4m in full scale). The wind speed profile at the railway junction is greatly affected by the tunnel. Under the condition of the double track, the side force coefficient on the leeward side is negative. For embankment-tunnel transition section, the lift force coefficient of the vehicle is positive which is unsafe for operation when the vehicle is at the railway line junction.

  • In this paper, a water-based green polymer mud is synthesized by simple compounding method. Effects of different kinds of tackifiers, their molecular weight on the viscosity of polymer mud and the effects of different fluid loss additives on mud fluid loss are studied. The results show that when polystyrene and anionic polyacrylamide with molecular weight of 8 ~ 10 million are used as the main thickening ingredient, polymer mud with high viscosity and high stability can be obtained. When the prepared polymer mud is formulated as NPAM: PEO: Hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC) : Water = 42:10:10:100000 (unit: kg), the viscosity can reach 20.6 s, the filtration loss in 7.5 min is 24 mL, and the sand content is only 0.1 %. Compared with traditional bentonite mud, the green environment-friendly polymer mud has the advantages of small amount of waste, low environmental pollution, and low pulping cost, and can meet the construction needs for most topography and geomorphology drilling engineering.

  • At present, an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) is one of the most suitable tools for measurement of three dimensional flow characteristics in the river. The data resulting from this approach can be used for flow visualization and velocity mapping together with post-processing software tools. Among them, 'adcptools' is the latest one and provides more realistic velocity distribution in the cross-section since it uses velocity along the beam direction. In this study, a flow analysis was made using the 'adcptools' for the Amazon River and the Han River dataset. Discharge was recalculated and accuracy of discharge and velocity was evaluated. Streamwise velocity distribution and secondary flow pattern in cross-sections were visualized. Geo-referenced velocity distribution was also mapped. A summary with future prospect of 'adcptools' for studies on fluvial geomorphology is briefly given.

  • Grain size analysis is the most basic procedure for identifying the origin, transport and sedimentation processes of sediments, and is widely used in geomorphology and sedimentology. Traditionally, grain size was determined by a sieve-pippette method, but the use of automated analyzers is increasing in recent years. These analyzers have many advantages over traditional techniques, but the measurement results are not always the same. It is still difficult to solve the pretreatment problem such as incomplete diffusion and residual organic matter, and inappropriate results may be obtained. This study compared image-based grain size analysis and sieve analysis to verify its statistical reliability, and conducted experiments to enhance the measurement accuracy using shape parameters. The results showed that the image-based analysis overestimated the grain size of sand dunes by about 7% compared to the sieve analysis, but the two measurements were not statistically different. In addition, by using shape parameters, such as aspect ratio, sphericity, and convexity, improved statistics were obtained compared to the original data. Using the morphological properties of the individual grains is a complementary method to the incomplete pretreatment of the grain size analysis process, and at the same time, it will contribute to improving the accuracy and reliability of the results.

  • A case study was conducted in Taean region to seek a more detailed macrotidal beach classification than existing beach classification models (Masselink and Short, 1993). Seepage and ridge & runnel were used for classification. On 20 beaches, 68 transects were surveyed 5 times using VRS-GPS. Cross-section area from the transect profiles, mean grain size from sediment analysis, significant wave height from Swan-wave modeling and beach embaymentization from aerial photograph analysis were used to identify the characteristics of the individual types. The transects were classified into 5 types in Taean region; Type 1: low tidal terrace, Type 2: low tidal terrace & ridge, Type 3: dissipative, Type 4: seasonal ridge, and Type 5: ridge & runnel. Generally, seepage was related to coarse sediment size and ridge & runnel was related to high significant wave height. Each type has different characteristics and there was a tendency between the types. The low tidal terrace type had coarse sediments, because this type is excluded from the littoral cell. In this study, the ridge and runnel type could be applied to the classification because the study area is limited only to the macrotidal environment in Taean region.

  • Earthquakes and volcanic information can vary in type and extent, from raw data to processed data. In order to be able to analyzed and modeled, information needs to be opened in any formats and provided with metadata from the Korea Meteorological Agency and related data production organizations. We propose the metadata and data registry related to volcanic disasters in a form that can be used in conjunction with the Korea Meteorological Administration system that manages earthquake and volcanic data in Korea. The standard registry refers to a virtual system that checks the standards developed for over 20 years in the field of geographic information and receives information registration to grasp the location of geographical features. It is not only data from natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes, but also national environmental survey results, and the cooperation system with other organizations dealing with national land information is also important, so a registry that creates and operates standards is necessary. Therefore, creating and operating the standard registry is necessary and expected to contribute to academic openness and data-driven policy.

  • Geomorphological development and distribution at the macro scale provide a clue to the geotectonic characteristics that have affected the geomorphological system. This is because the developmental characteristics and distribution of the landform at the macro scale remain spatial characteristics due to tectonic processes, such as fault activity. From the perspective of tectonic geomorphology, this study identified the developmental characteristics and distribution of the Quaternary landforms in central-southern Yangsan fault and discussed its relevance to fault activity. In this paper, we presented examples and results of morphotectonic analysis of the Yangsan fault, and will present the results of age dating, stratigraphic relationship of the Quaternary landforms, and calculation of cumulative slip rate in the next paper.

  • The Yangsan Fault is one of the main fault systems in the Korean peninsula. It can be divided into three segments (northern, central, and southern) by its paleoseismic and structural geologic properties. Based on the geomorphic features of the northern segment, which includes the Yugye Fault, we identified deflected streams as a geomorphic marker of strike-slip component of the fault, and knickpoints along the streams as evidence of dip-slip component of the fault. Geomorphic analyses showed that (1) the horizontal displacements of deflected streams decreased and (2) the retreat amounts of knickpoints tend to increased toward north along the lineament. We interpreted the variations caused by strain partitioning; that is, there might be some increases of the vertical component toward north, whereas the main strike-slip fault system dies out, splaying into horsetail structure toward north. Based on the response time of the landforms, these interpretations imply that (1) there were differences between horizontal slip rate and vertical slip rate along strike, and/or (2) there were different timings between horizontal and vertical deformations by fault.
