This study tries to reveal uplift rates inferred from relative and absolute ages on coastal terrace in the West and South Coasts of South Korea. Uplift rate from relative ages on Pleistocene coastal terrace in the West Coast rangesfrom approximately 0.059 to 0.282 m/ky, while a range of approximately 0.020~0.385 m/ky is calculated from the South Coast, suggesting that the South Coast shows higher rate than the West Coast. Based on absolute ages on coastal terrace during MIS 5 in the South Coast, on the other hand, the uplift rates 1 and 4 have ranges of approximately 0.042~0.062 m/ky and 0.051~0.087 m/ky, respectively, indicating that uplift rate in the South Coast is one-third to one-fourth to that in the East Coast. No research on absolute ages in West Coast terrace and lack of relative and absolute ages in the West and South Coasts are considered as the limit in this study.

This study used a GPS tracker to determine characteristics of wintering habitat use by black-tailed gulls on the west coast of Korea. Results of this study showed a southward movement in December and a northward movement in March. The wintering habitat was confirmed to include the southwest coastal island area (Group 1), the inland coastal area (Group 2), and China (Group 3). The wintering home range was the narrowest in October and the widest in December. Home range of Group 1 was increased from November, showing the maximum in December, decreased in February, and then tended to increase again in March. Group 2 showed the widest home range in November and a narrow range of home range from December. Home range of Group 3 showed a mixed pattern of group 1 and group 2. The flight rate was the lowest in January and the highest in March. Day and night flight rates showed significant differences by month. This study identified wintering characteristics of the West Coast population of black-tailed gulls on the West Coast, including their wintering areas, migration periods, and use patterns. These wintering characteristics of black-tailed gull in the west coast area are thought to be affected by environmental factors (such as food resources and fishing activities) and geographical characteristics of the West Coast where many islands are distributed.

This study was conducted bimonthly from February to December 2021 to reveal the ecology of Sargassum thunbergii in the intertidal zone along the coasts of Korea. Separate surveys on the period of embryo formation were conducted from February 2021 to December 2022. The growth of S. thunbergii began to increase in February, reached a maximum in June, and was at a minimum in October. Air vesicles were formed from February to June, April to August, and February to August on the east, west, and south coasts, respectively. Receptacles were observed from April to June on the east coast, but from April to August on the west and south coasts. The earliest release of embryos was observed in late May 2022 on the south coast, followed by early June on the east and west coasts. The average size of leaves, stems, and air vesicles was maximum on the east coast and minimum on the west coast, whereas leaf and internode intervals were maximum on the west coast and minimum on the east coast. Plant length, biomass, and the number of branches showed maximum values in the south coast and minimum values in the east coast.

본고는 지난 12년동안 한국연안에 내습한 태풍 및 각 검조소에 출현한 매년의 최고 이상고조와 1970.8.29∼9.2에 있었던 태풍 빌리호 내습시 남 서해안의 각 검조소에서 얻은 자료에 의하여 해면변화에 대한 사례조사를 시도한 것이다. 한국연안은 매년 빈번한 기상교란 (태풍, 저기압등) 에 의하여 이상고조 또는 기상해일현상이 발생, 항만이나 연안지대에서는 적지 않은 피해를 받고 있으나 이에 관한 조사는 전혀 없었으며, 이후 연안지대의 고도이용이나 연안방재를 위하여 먼저 정확한 사례조사가 필요하다고 본다.

서해지역에서 해안구조물을 위한 설계파는 연안지상측후소의 과거 풍속자료로부터 해상풍의 설계풍속을 산정하고 지역별로 결정되는 취송역으로부터 파랑예측모델을 이용하여 결정하는 방법이 제안되었다. 서해에서 설계파를 지배하는 바람은 북서방향(W~N)의 동기계절풍과 남서(WSW~S) 방향의 하기계절풍 및 태풍이며 해상풍의 풍속은 U$\geq$20m/s의 탄풍에 대하여 연안의 지상풍속의 0.8~0.9배를 나타낸다. 서해의 해안지역은 그 위치여건에 따라 세 지역으로 구분할 수 있으며 각각의 지역에 대하여 설계파산정을 위한 취송역을 결정할 수 있다. 수정된 S.M.B. 법에 의하면 서해지역에서 100년빈도 설계파의 심해유의파고는 4.4m~8.3m, 주기는 8.9초~12.0초의 범위를 보인다.

우리 나라와 일본, 러시아의 총 44개 관측점에서의 수위 자료에서 조석을 제거, 해입을 계산하여 연별최대양의 해입값, 최대음의 해이값을 구하고 그 값들의 평균을 구하여 각 해안에서 발생하는 해익의 특성을 고찰하였다. 우리 나라 의 경우는 양의해 익과 음의해익 모두 그 진폭이 서해안에서 크고 남해안과 동해안으로 갈수록 점차 줄 어드는 양상을 보였다. 각 관측점에서 발생한 양의해익과 음의 해익의 진폭의 평균을 비교해 보면 서해안의 경우는 음의 해익의 진폭이 양의 해익의 진폭보다 더 크고, 우 리 나라 의 남해안과 동해안 또 일본 서해안의 경우는 그 반대였다. 또한 동해에서는 북부 러시아 해안에서는 해익이 남부 일본 서해안에서는 해익에 비해 상대적으로 큰 결과를 보였다. 국내 각 관측점간의 해익의 연중 최대치를 비교해 본 바에 의하면, 서 해안에서 양의 해익 최대치가 나타난 것은 열대성 저기압에 의한 강풍의 결과이고, 남 해나 동해에서 나타난 경우는 여름철 태풍에 의한 결과였다. 음의 해익의 경우는 거의 대부분 서해, 특히 인천에서 열대성 저기압에 의한 연중 최대치가 나타났다.

This article is written in the viewpoint of landscape ecological geography. The coast of South Chung-chong Province will make new characters of region in the development strategies program. This study is to describe geomorphological landscapes of South Chung-chong Province relating with it's environment based on the coast. Although landforms constitute prominent landscape features as tidal flats and rock cliff do, it is nonetheless the features such as beaches, sanddunes, and coastal plains that have various ramifications for human communities. Tidal flats, beaches and coastal sanddunes are special in that their formation is attributable to the combined action of tidal flows, waves and winds. To some extent, the erosion of sand has been a global phenomenon. Human impact are involved. The influence of globalization and expansion of liberal trade appears in regions variously. Individual regions need to secure its competitiveness in the world market. Regions are not value-neutral abstract conception, but must be informal commercialized characters of region. The coast of South Chung-chong Province has experienced rapid and dramatic changes. In industrial times, the middle of west coast Korea turned into a major reclamation at larger scale. Reclaimed land was based on location of industry and mechanized agriculture. The west coast highway and bridges between island and land contributed to the development of west coast transportation. As information society matured, trend and value are changing. Environment and ecology emphasize and rediscover the value of tidal flats and sanddunes. The west coast region now receives attention as eco-tour and sustainable course.

We estimated abundance of the finless porpoise Neophocaena asiaeorientalis in the west coast of Korea in 2011 and compared it to the abundance data estimated by Park et al. (2007). The two researches used same line transect method operated by a vessel, and the study area were divided into the offshore and the inshore regions to assess variations in their abundance. In offshore regions population density of finless porpoises was $0.122ind./km^2$, which was lower than $0.565ind./km^2$ estimated in 2004. In inshore regions the population density was $0.151ind./km^2$, which was much lower than $0.638ind./km^2$ estimated in 2005. Thus, we estimate that the population densities of the finless porpoises in both the offshore and the inshore regions of the west coast of Korea has decreased by approximately 70% between 2004/2005 and 2011.

Cloud-to ground lightning and total precipitation over Korean peninsula during the summer monsoon season are studied extensively with a special emphasis on the characteristics of convective precipitation. Ten years (1988-1997) lightning and rainfall data and a temporal and spatial scale of one month and 10$^2$ km$^2$ respectively are used to calculate the monthly number of CG lightning flash count. Monsoonal convective activity is higher over the west coast with maxima at two different regions, one in the northern part which increases nortwestward and the other is at the middle west coast of Korea increasing towards the west coast. East coast represents the minimum value of monsoonal convective activity. In the east coast of Korean peninsula, particularly in the region east of Tae-back mountain, the value of Rain yield, (which is defined as the ratio of total precipitation to CG flash count over a common area), is maximum with an average value of 3$\times$10$^{8}$ kg fl$^{-1}$, while the minimum value of rain yield is occurred in the west of Tae-back mountain, with an average value of 0.8$\times$10$^{8}$ kg fl$^{-1}$. Results show in the west coast stations, nearly 82% of the total rainfall is convective in nature, at the middle of the peninsula 53% of the total rain is convective while in the east coast stations 46% contribution from the convective rain is seen. Kanghwa receives the maximum convective rain while at Ulsan the convective rain is minimum. Correlation coefficient between the total precipitation and CG lightning during the summer monsoon season is 0.54.
