This study presents results from a detailed sedimentological investigation of surface sediments obtained from the Korea Strait region, the southern part of the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The distribution of different types of bottom sediments is controlled by the recent fine-grained sediment transport and deposition combined with the lowerings of sea level during the last glacial period, forming a diverse mixture of organic-rich fine-grained and shelly coarse-grained sediments. In comparison to high organic concentration of fine-grained sediments in the inner continental shelf and slope areas, the shell-rich coarse-grained sediments on the outer shelf are discernible being further modified. These coarse-grained sediments are confirmed as relict resulting from the sediment dynamics during the lower sea levels of the last glacial period. Clay mineral distribution of the fine-grained sediments gives information about the transport mechanism. Presence of present-day current system (the Tsushima Warm Current) is most probable source for the fine-grained particles into the open East Sea from the East China Sea, indicating that Holocene sediment dynamics may be used to explain the observed distribution of surface coarse-grained shell-rich sediments.

1968년 8월부터 1969년 7월까지 1년간 대한해협에서 수온 염분의 시간적 변동에 대해 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 수온 염분의 시간적 변동범위는 년중 8월이 가장 크고 4월이 가장 작았다. 2. 8월의 수온은 125m 층에서 5.67-15.75$^{\circ}C$로 10.08$^{\circ}C$의 최고 변동범위를 보였으며, 염분은 20m 층에서 32.09-34.32 로 2.23 의 최고 변동범위를 보였다. 3. 이렇게 수온, 염분의 시간적 변동범위가 계절에 따라 수층에 따라 큰 차이를 보이는 것은 대한해협에는 수평, 수직적으로 이질적인 다양한 수괴들이 있어 이들이 게절에 따라 분포구조가 변화할 뿐 아니라, 이곳을 통과하는 대마난류가 조석의 영향으로 시시각각 그 유향과 유속이 변동됨에 따라 이들 수괴들이 상호 수직, 수평으로 유동하기 때문인 것으로 보인다.

The amount of CO₂ absorbed by the oceans continues to rise, resulting in further acidification, altering some functional traits of phytoplankton. To understand the effect of elevated partial pressures of CO₂ (pCO₂) on functional traits of dinoflagellates Alexandrium affine and A. pacificum, the cardinal temperatures and chain formation extent were examined under two pCO₂ (400 and 1,000 µatm) over the range of temperature expected to be associated with growth. The growth rate and chain formation extent of A. affine increased with higher pCO₂, showing significant changes in cardinal temperatures and a substantial increase in middle chain-length (4-8 cells) fractionation under elevated pCO₂ condition. By contrast, there were no significant differences in specific growth rate and any chain-length fractionation of A. pacificum between ambient and elevated pCO₂ conditions. The observed interspecies variation in the functional traits may reflect differences in ability of species to respond to environmental change with plasticity. Moreover, it allows us to understand the shifting biogeography of marine phytoplankton and predict their phenology in the Korea Strait.

Oceanic conditions of the Tsushirm Wann Current (1WC) region in the southern area if the East Sea (the Japan Sea) are examined using data obtained from a CREAMS (Circulation Research if the East Asian Marginal Seas) cruise in June 1996. In 1990s, a lower temperature appears in $19\%$ and in this period, two branch of the TWC exist and the first branch of the TWC flows inshore if the Japanese coastal region compared to tfr1t in the other years, especially in the sfr1llower water layer at less th:1n about 2mm. The TWC cored with the higher salinity (>34.6 psu) is clearly observed over the continental shelf zone in the Japanese coastal region and offshore and identified by geostrophic calculation Intrusion if the TWC into the East Sea through the Korea Strait (the Tsushima Strait) makes the density structure in the water column change and the water mass in the TWC region is unstable based on Brunt- Vaisala frequency.

This thesis analyzes Somali piracy as a non-traditional threat to the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) and international countermeasures to the piracy. In an era of globally interdependent economies, the protection of sea lines and freedom of navigation are prerequisites for the development of states. Since the post-Cold War began in the early 1990s, ocean piracy has emerged as a significant threat to international trade. For instance, in the Malacca Strait which carries 30 percent of the world's trade volume, losses from failed shipping, insurance, plus other subsequent damages were enormous. Until the mid-2000s, navies and coast guards from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, together with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), conducted anti-piracy operations in the Strait of Malacca. The combined efforts of these three maritime states, through information sharing and with reinforced assets including warships and patrol aircrafts, have successfully made a dent to lower incidents of piracy. Likewise, the United Nations' authorization of multinational forces to operate in Somali waters has pushed interdiction efforts including patrol and escort flotilla support. This along with self-reinforced security measures has successfully helped lower piracy from 75 incidents in 2012 to 15 in 2013. As illustrated, Somali piracy is a direct security threat to the international community and the SLOC which calls for global peacekeeping as a countermeasure. Reconstructing the economy and society to support public safety and stability should be the priority solution. Emphasis should be placed on restoring public peace and jurisdiction for control of piracy as a primary countermeasure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the ECFA impacted the efficiency of banks in China and Taiwan from 2008 to 2017. This study follows Seiford and Zhu (2002), who recommend using the standard data envelopment analysis model to measure performance by increasing the desirable outputs and decreasing the undesirables. The finding was that overall technical efficiency increased from 2012 to 2017, reaching 0.575, 0.652, 0617, 0.689, 0.701 and 0.74, respectively. This result implies bank efficiency did indeed improve after China and Taiwan signed the ECFA cooperation agreement. The study found that the mean technical efficiency was 0.8756 in China, greater than Taiwan's mean of 0.3511, implying that Chinese banks experienced a greater increase in efficiency after signing the EFCA. One possible reason explored in this study is that China's economy is currently growing at the highest rate in the world, and the banks' efficiency has benefited from greater economic growth. This suggests that cross-strait sustained negotiations to consummate an agreement on trade in the services will be a very important mission in the future. This result also provides significant evidence suggesting that not accounting for undesirable output while estimating the evolution of the model may seriously distort efficiency results.

한국 남서해 연안에서 여름에 발달했던 성층이 겨울철에 접어들면서 파괴되어 수직적으로 균일한 수온분포를 갖게 되는데 이러한 변화가 11월에 가장 활발하게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이 변절기에 차고 염분이 낮은 연안 수괴가 대마난류와 접한 경계에 전선이 거의 수직으로 발달하며, 대마난류의 세력이 약한 제주해협의 중앙부를 제외하고는 수심 $70{\sim}90m$의 해역에서 수온전선과 염분전선의 위치는 일치하였다. 1980년 11월에 남해연안 중앙부에서 투하한 해류병이 주로 완도 근해에서 회수된 결과는 전선의 연안쪽에 있는 수괴가 서쪽으로 이동하는 남해연안반류의 존재를 뒷받침 해 주었다.

Two new species of Asterocheridae are described from Korean seas: Acontiophorus pilosus associated with a bryozoan of Celeporina sp. in the Sea of Japan and Asteropontius bifurcatus associated with the antipatharian Antipathes japonicus in Jeju Island in Korea Strait. A key to the species of Acontiophorus is provided.
