기존 상용 전기탐사장비의 한계는 간척지 갯벌 등 해성퇴적층 하부지반조사 적용이 매우 힘들거나, 불가능한 것으로 인지되어 왔다. 최근 전 세계적으로 해저면 또는 연안지역환경 전기탐사 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 자체개발 발전기 전원 5 Ampere 대전류 송신 전기탐사 현장적용이 광양만에서 확인된다. 항만관련 기반시설 연안투자는 지속 확대될 것으로 기존 탐사방법 지반조사에서 탈피하여 항만 교량, 해저터널, 해저 가스 층 등의 효과적 적용 가능성이 기대된다. 한편 조석변화를 고려한 대전류 전기 비저항탐사를 수위별로 시간대 측정하여 연약구역 효과를 비교 시도하였다. 대전류 송신은 탐사전선저항 길이를 고려한 덜 무거운 케이블 선택 설계가 현장야업 시 중요하다.

인공어초 시설해역 1개 정점에서 15일 연속조류를 관측하였다. 정점의 최강유속은 약 82.4 cm/sec로 나타났으며, 평균유속은 최강유속보다 대략 5.9 ~ 19.0 cm/sec 정도 작은 값을 보였다. 조시별 평균유속은 12.8 ~ 28.0 cm/sec로 나타났다. 어초군 주변 4방위에 대해 시료를 채취하여 분석한 결과, 주조류방향에 따라서 서로 다른 저질로 구성되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때, 인공어초 전면 및 후면에서 퇴적 및 세굴이 지속적으로 발생하기 때문에 주조류 방향에 따라서 서로 상이한 저질이 분포하는 것으로 판단된다.

Organic carbon and nitrogen contents in suspended particulate matter (SPM) and surface sediments in seawater were measured in the Northern East China Sea in summer. The distribution of particulate organic carbon(POC) and particulate organic nitrogen(PON) were in the ranges of 54~481㎍/ℓ and 6~85㎍/ℓ, respectively, with relatively high level of concentrations in the western and southern sides of the study area. Also, there has been a significantly positive correlation between POC and PON, gradually increasing toward the deeper range of depth. Average C:N ratios of POC and PON of SPM were 6 in study area. The ratios of POC to PON of SPM increased as the range of depth increased, indicating nitrogen decomposes more rapidly than carbon and is considered to be influenced by the input of detritus from surface sediments. The distribution of total organic matter(TOM), total organic carbon(TOC) and total organic nitrogen(TON) in surface sediments were in the ranges of 3.1~9.6%, 0.282~0.635% and 0.022~0.069%, respectively, with relatively low range in the western and northern sides of the study area. The ratio of TOC to TON of surface sediments were in the range of 9.8~17.4(average of 13), strongly indicating the active role of the input from the terrestrial organic pollutants.

This paper aims at an investigation of the features of bacterial communities in surface sediments of the South China Sea (SCS). In particular, biogeographical distribution patterns and the phylogenetic diversity of bacteria found in sediments collected from a coral reef platform, a continental slope, and a deep-sea basin were determined. Bacterial diversity was measured by an observation of 16S rRNA genes, and 18 phylogenetic groups were identified in the bacterial clone library. Planctomycetes, Deltaproteobacteria, candidate division OP11, and Alphaproteobacteria made up the majority of the bacteria in the samples, with their mean bacterial clones being 16%, 15%, 12%, and 9%, respectively. By comparison, the bacterial communities found in the SCS surface sediments were significantly different from other previously observed deep-sea bacterial communities. This research also emphasizes the fact that geographical factors have an impact on the biogeographical distribution patterns of bacterial communities. For instance, canonical correspondence analyses illustrated that the percentage of sand weight and water depth are important factors affecting the bacterial community composition. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of adequately determining the relationship between geographical factors and the distribution of bacteria in the world's seas and oceans.

The distribution of the taxonomical composition and the density of meiobenthos depending on some factors of environment has been studied in bottom sediments of the northern estuary part of Ha Long Bay (Cua Luc estuary). The basic factor of influence on meiobenthic community structure was the granulometric composition of sediment. The greatest taxonomic diversity is noted in the silted sands, lowest - in the silty sediments. The density of meiobenthic community was higher in the silty sediments. Slightly expressed correlation between the density of nematodes and the percentage of silty particles in the sediments is detected (Spearman rank correlation coefficient was $0.49{\pm}0.21$, p=0.035). The nematodes were dominant at all stations. In total, representatives of 66 species of nematodes belonging to 17 families and 52 genera were identified.

제주도 주변 대륙붕해역에 분포하는 퇴적물의 기원지를 해석하기 위해 표층퇴적물의 희토류원소(REE), 주성분 및 미량원소, Sr-Nd 동위원소비를 분석하였다. 퇴적물의 화학원소에 근거한 변질지수(CIA)는 44.2-68.9(av.59.4)의 범위를 보이며 황하강퇴적물과 유사하였다. 연구지역 퇴적물을 콘드라이트로 표준화한 REE 패턴에서 대부분 LREE가 부화된($La_{(N)}/Sm_{(N)}$ >3) 작은 Eu 부(-) 이상을 가지는 전형적인 셰일의 희토류원소의 패턴을 나타낸다. UCC로 표준화한 REE 패턴에서 연구지역 남서쪽 외해지역의 퇴적물 시료들은 황하나 금강기원 퇴적물보다 양자강퇴적물과 유사한 높은 희토류원소함량과 위로 볼록한 REE 패턴을 보여 양자강기원 부유물질이 제주도 서쪽해역까지 운반되고 있음을 의미한다. $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ 동위원소비와 ${\varepsilon}_{Nd}(0)$의 구분지수는 연구지역 퇴적물의 기원지를 밝히는데 지시자로 제시할 수 있었다. 연구지역의 서쪽과 북서쪽에 분포하는 대부분의 퇴적물은 황하강 퇴적물 주위에 밀집 분포하는 특징을 보이고, 양자강 하구역과 가까운 남서쪽지역의 퇴적물들은 양자강 수중삼각주 퇴적물과 유사성을 보였다. 반면 제주도 북동쪽지역의 퇴적물은 중국의 강기원 퇴적물과는 다른 지역에 위치하는 특징을 보여, 따라서 제주도 주변해역은 복합기원 퇴적물이 집적되고 있음을 의미한다.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were measured in sediment samples from 19 stations in the coastal areas of Korea from February to July 2000. PCDDs and PCDFs were detected in all sediment samples. The concentrations of these con­taminants ranged from 18.2 to 804.0 pg/g dry weight and I-TEQ concentrations varied from 0.1 to 5.5 pg/g dry weight. Examination of homologue groups showed that octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD) was predominant congener in Korean coast. This pattern was similar to homologue profiles of marine sediments in which the main source of PCDDs/DFs was derived from the atmospheric deposition of particulate matters generated from various industrial activities. Grain size and total organic carbon (TOC) distribution are one of the important factors governing PCDDs/DFs concentration in this study.

A bacterial strain was screened and identified from sea sediments in Tongyeong coastal area in order to obtain proteases or peptidase cleaving C-terminal of glutamic acid. Strain TS0611, which showed the highest activity from 5 isolated protease producing strains, was selected and its properties investigated. Strain TS0611 was a gram-positive rod, $1.2\;{\mu}m$ in cell length, catalase positive, motility-positive, melanin-negative and grew at 15~$50^{\circ}C$, and hydrolyzed gelatin and casein. This strain was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus based on results from the API system(API 50 CHB) which examined saccharides properties, fatty acid composition of cell wall, and 16S rRNA gene sequence.

Studies based on field observation and laboratory analysis of the littoral sands of beaches in Jeju Island indicate that the shores exhibit a great variation in both the beach geometry and the composition in terms of geological agents. Most of the beaches around the Island are developed in relatively small patches and discontinuous, as the result of intervening sea cliffs and rocky headlands. The sand quality and the dimensions of the beaches in the Island are relatively poor; for example, these beaches are 220~2,780m in length, 41~313m in width, and $7^{\circ}$ steepness in average foreshore slope. According to the textural parameters analysis, the beach sediments in study portion shows medium grained ($average\;1.42{\phi}$), moderately well sorted ($average\;0.65{\phi}$) and negative skewed ($average\;0.34{\phi}$), which seems to reflecting a high energy marine depositional environment. The heavy and light minerals of te beach sediments are composed of quartz, volcanic fragments, Na-Ca feldspar, olivine, augite as major constituents, along with apatite, biotite and other minor components, which originates from the adjacent geology. The content of CaO-MgO in shell fragments of the littoral sands ranged from 4.69~51.96%, suggesting that the high CaO-MgO content in some of the Island's beaches is attributable to geologic environments conducive to the growth of shell organisms and sediments migration. The provenance of the sediments studied are derived predominantly from adjacent continental shelves and/or terrigenous older river portion, Which sediments were transported mostly by rolling or bottom suspension. The depositional environments of the Jeju beaches can be divided into two types: beaches distributed in the North and the Northeastern parts of the Island are dominated by marine enviroment, whereas beaches in the Southwestern portion are characterized by terrigenous agencies.

To understand temporal variations in geochemical characteristics of intertidal surface sediments around Byeonsan Peninsula (in the middle of the western coast, Korea) after the construction of Saemanguem dyke, the sedimentation rate and various geochemical parameters, including mean grain size (Mz), water content (WC), ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and acid volatile sulfide (AVS), were measured along four transects (A.D lines) at monthly intervals from February 2008 to March 2009. The average monthly sedimentation rate ranged from -5.3 to 3.8 mm/month (mean $-0.8{\pm}2.7\;mm$/month), which showed an erosion-dominated environment in the lower part of the intertidal zone. In addition, surface sediments were eroded in summer and autumn, but were deposited in spring and winter. The Mz of surface sediments ranged from -0.8 to $3.4{\varnothing}$ (mean $2.8{\pm}0.5{\varnothing}$), indicating that the surface sediments consist of coarser sediments (sand and slightly gravelly sand). The Mz of surface sediments did not show large monthly and/or seasonal variations, although the sedimentation rates of surface sediment showed large seasonal variation. This may be due to lateral shifting and effective dispersion of surface sediments by wind, tide, and longshore current. The concentrations of IL and COD in the surface sediments ranged from 0.2 to 2.9% (mean $1.4{\pm}0.4%$) and from 0.2 to $18.5\;mgO_2$/g-dry (mean $3.9{\pm}3.4\;mgO_2$/g-dry), respectively, which were slightly higher in spring than in the other seasons. This may be related to spring blooms of phytoplankton in seawater and/or benthic microalgae in surface sediments. On the other hand, no AVS concentrations were detected in surface sediments at any of the sampling stations during the study period.
