This study discusses characteristic of spatiotemporal changes of the sand barrier in the Nakdong estuarine for the last century, focusing on geomarphologic evolution and mobility of sand barriers in the view of coastal engineering. The Nakdong estuarine, the research subject, has a complexly changing natural environment by interaction between ground and marine elements such as ocean wave, tidal current, sediment, etc. Moreover, recently, unnatural geomorphologic changes (e.g., seaside reclamation, new harbor construction, etc.) has been radically increased in this area with increasing desire for coastal development. Because of this, its sand barrier has developed quite unstable condition. Therefore, to identify the development process of geomorphologic changes in this area, required is a close examination on historical characteristics of spatiotemporal changes of the sand barrier in relation to surrounding seaside reclamation and physical environmental changes. This study, based on the marine charts published in between 1927 and 1995 year, analyzes the length and area of the sand barrier for the last hundred years, and investigates the cause of the changes by looking into the change of water depth for the last two years and doing ocean-physical site observations. In conclusion, the sand barrier of the Nakdong estuarine expands toward the open sea by $7.4{\sim}26m$ in annual average, maintaining a fixed distance of $1,241{\sim}1.279m$, and its area is expected to increase about $2.8km^2$ annually. This is characterized by the wocean wave from the open sea and the discharge of Nakdong River.

We present basic data for developing new research topics and closely examine the existing data on the development and organization of the Nakdong River Estuary Delta by analyzing various studies of the area, including ocean engineering, coastal engineering, ocean environmental engineering, geomorphological, and geological studies. We first defined the general concepts related to the estuary and delta and reviewed the historical development of the Nakdong River Estuary Delta over the past 100 years. We then examined the origin and core elements of the estuary deposits that constitute the delta. In addition, we scrutinized the main factors affecting the development of the delta and analyzed existing research on delta development mechanisms by core researchers. The construction of an estuary barrage is one of the main factors effecting estuarine circulation and has altered the physical oceanic environment, area of deposition, atmospheric environment, and vegetation community of the delta. These factors affect the estuary circulation in turn, altering the delta. Along the Nakdong River, an unsteady-state sandy barrier appears at approximately three times the distance of the wavelength of incident offshore waves, and this terrain forms approximately 10-15 years after reclamation in the interdistributary upper stream and transforms the shoreline. It is necessary to develop a technique to predict terrain change that reproduces the erosion and accumulation of estuarine deposits. To determine the parameters and variables necessary to reproduce this system, continuous on-site monitoring is necessary. The existing research did not fully examine the terrain changes in Nakdong River Estuary or the periodic developmental characteristics. To understand the future process of estuary delta development, it is necessary to establish an integrated management system.

낙동강 하구역의 메탄 분포에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 알아보기 위하여, 2014년 1월, 9월, 11월 낙동강 하구에서 수층 메탄 농도의 시공간 분포를 살펴보고, 하구 내 메탄의 유입과 유출을 정량화하였다. 수층 메탄 농도는 21~874 nM의 범위를 보였으며, 수온과 유량의 영향으로 인해 겨울보다 여름에 더 높은 값을 보였다. 메탄은 주로 육상으로부터 강물을 통해 하구로 유입되기 때문에 상류에서 바다로 갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 조간대나 둑 인근의 유기물이 풍부한 퇴적물 등 또 다른 메탄 유입원이 국지적으로 영향을 미친 결과, 계절에 따라 공간 분포 패턴이 다르게 나타났다. 다른 연안 지역과 비교하였을 때 낙동강 하구 수층 메탄 농도는 높은 편이었다. 이는 유역에 발달한 호소 환경과 둑의 정체 효과로 인해 강물 메탄 유입이 많기 때문으로 판단된다. 하굿둑 외측에서 메탄의 거동을 정량화한 결과 메탄은 주로 담수를 통해 유입되며 대기를 통해 유출되는 것으로 추정되었다. 낙동강 하구가 면적 당 높은 대기 방출을 보이는 이유는 울타리 섬이나 하굿둑 등에 의해 체류시간이 길어져 수층 메탄이 대기로 방출될 시간이 많아진 결과로 추정된다.

Because depth of deposit is deeper as well as compressibility is very larger than the other regions in Korea, behaviour of settlement at Nak-Dong river estuarine causes hot issue at ground improvement. Defined properties for design differ from measurement. Therefore it affects cost of construction. This study presents design standard to engineers as it defined properties of compressibility at Jangyu Area of Nak-Dong river estuarine. To search value of representation for region, back analysis was performed using the measurement. To verify that, the measurement of recently designed site was confirmed, and the cost of construction with properties of consolidation was calculated.

낙동강 하구는 담수와 해수가 만나 복잡한 순환 양상을 보이는 지역으로, 1987년에 준공된 하구둑의 건설로 지형적인 변화와 함께 여러 가지 해양 환경적인 변화를 가져왔다. 하구둑 건설 전과 후의 특징을 보면, 건설 전에 비해 흐름이 약해졌고 조류가 흐름을 주도하던 혼합 기작이 담수의 방류가 주도하는 체계로 변하였다. 이러한 담수의 방류는 그 정도에 따라 낙동강 하구둑 하류부 담수의 거동과 혼합 특성을 변화시켰으며 해수 순환에도 큰 영향을 주었다 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하구둑 하류부의 유동 특성을 하구둑의 수문 개폐에 초점을 맞춰 분석하였다.

We conducted a distributional survey of Pectinatella magnifica, an invasive species, in the Geum River and the Nakdong River from July 12 to July 25, 2014. The spacing between the study sites was 10 km along the main channels for the Geum River (n = 12, 120 km) and the Nakdong River (n = 38, 380 km) from the estuarine barrage to upper part of main channel. Pectinatella magnifica was detected along the riparian zone (within 100 m) at each of the study sites. Presence rate of P. magnifica in Geum River and Nakdong River was 25% and 32.6%, respectively. The colony number of P. magnifica at Geum River ($9.5{\pm}3.1colony/m$, n = 3) was over 94 fold higher than that in the Nakdong River ($0.1{\pm}0.1colony/m$, n = 16). The Total length distribution of P. magnifica had a truncated bell shape at each rivers (mean length: $14.0{\pm}1.2cm$ for Geum River (n = 32), and $16.8{\pm}1.4cm$ for Nakdong River (n = 52)). These findings could provide basic information regarding the distribution pattern of P. magnifica in a new invasion area.

The horizontal distributions of $^{224}Ra$ (half life=3.4 days) and $^{223}Ra$ (half life=11.3 days) were measured in surface seawaters of the Nakdong River estuary and the South Sea of Korea in April and October 2002. In order to determine these short-lived Ra isotopes, we used a delayed coincidence counter which is much more rapid and accurate than traditional methods. In an estuarine mixing zone (salinity, ~l6 ppt), the activities of $^{224}Ra\;and\;^{223}Ra$ were much greater than what would be expected from a mixture of freshwater and seawater in the Nakdong River estuary. This excess Ra may be a result of Ra desorption from fresh sediments originating from the river upstream. However, in the more open areas of the Nakdong River estuary (salinity>30 ppt) and the South Sea of Korea, $^{224}Ra\;and\;^{^{223}Ra$ activities decreased exponentially as a function of distance offshore. Using the decrease of $^{223}Ra$ with distance offshore in the South Sea of Korea, we estimated the apparent horizontal eddy diffusivities. The apparent eddy diffusion coefficients in South Sea of Korea are calculated to be approximately $3500-8000\;\textrm{m}^2/sec$.

Phytoplankton community dynamics were studied from 2004 to 2006 with two and four weeks interval at mid to lower part of the Nakdong River (Waegwan: RK 194, Goryeong: RK 157, Jukpo: RK 112, Namji: RK 75 and Hanam: RK 63: RK: distance from the Estuarine Barrage), South Korea. Annual averages of water temperature was about $16^{\circ}C$, and dissolved oxygen was ranged between 10.0 and 11.5 mg $L^{-1}$ (percent saturation, 106.5 to 112.8%). Diatoms were dominant group with over 60% of phytoplankton abundance in all study sites (Waegwan: 64%, Goryeong: 69%, Jukpo: 73%, Namji: 79%, and Hanam: 83%). However, the occasional dominances of other groups such as green algae and blue-green algae were observed from March to October. Stephanodiscus hantzschii was dominant species and the relative abundances were highat all study sites (48-72%). The ratio of S. hantzschiiltotal phytoplankton abundance were showed a clear increasing tendency toward the estuarine barrage: i.e. 0.31 at Waegwan, 0.39: Goryeong, 0.50: Jukpo, 0.56: Namji, 0.60: Hanam. The results of this study provide the information that the phytoplankton community structure in a regulated river system is basically affected by the physical properties such as water velocity and retention time, resulting in single species dominance by the stagnancy of river flow.
