Depositional processes of fine-grained sediments were investigated on the basis of sediment transport vector analysis and identification of benthic foraminiferal assemblages in Yoja Bay, southern coast of Korea. The bay is a semi-enclosed embayment where extensive mud flats occur with a width up to about 4 km. Most surface sediments are poorly sorted (sorting values: 1.9-3.0 ${\phi}$) mud and silt (mean grain size: 6.0-8.7 ${\phi}$), except for the tidal inlets with basement rocks locally exposed. Grain-size distribution shows a fining tendency toward the basin center near the Yoja Island, implying a possible existence of turbidity maximum and relatively rapid settling of fine-grained sediments. The agglutinated foraminiferal taxa are dominant in the inner bay and decrease in abundance toward the mouth of the bay. Species diversities are higher in the outer bay, due to mixing of the offshore faunas with those of the bay. Four groups of benthic foraminiferal assemblages, identified by cluster analysis, represent the bay. Biofacies I and ll with relatively lower diversities are dominated by Ammobaculites exiguus and Ammonia beccarii, suggestive of influx of fresh water. In contrast, biofacies III and IV with relatively higher diversities include increased amounts of calcareous genus Elphidium and Quinquelocuzina, accounting for strong influence of sea water from the offshore. The fluvial discharge in summer floods appears to develop a bay-wide, clockwise lateral circulation in Yoja Bay, a typical of well-mixed estuaries. Accordingly, the foraminiferal assemblages of the surface sediments well show a sign of this circulation. The dominant inflow of the offshore water into the western part of the bay has resulted in more extensive muddy tidal flats compared to the eastern narrower counterpart.

A tragic disaster happened by capsizing O-Ryong 501 trawler at Western Bering Sea in 1st, Dec. 2014. The disaster was caused by the severe weather and the long deferred escape from the storm in fully developed high sea. Lots of sea water from poop deck rushed into the fish ponder with fishes all together after hauling net and then remove the fishes from codend. The vessel became to incline to the one side caused by the weight and the free surface effect of flood sea waters and fishes at initial stage. In spite of crews all effort to discharge the waters, but the work was not achieved successfully. For the worse thing, the order of abandon ship was issued too late. After all, the ship capsized and sank, then almost crews became to the victims of the casualty including captain. In this paper, author carried out restrictively the calculation of dynamic factors influenced on the disaster including the weather condition and effects of the flood sea waters, and found out that the most important causes of the disaster were the decrease of stabilities, GM was decreased from 0.9m to 0.08 m, and the high waves which led to the vessel disaster.

Recently, the use of hazardous chemicals has been continuously increasing. Therefore, the international trade volume is growing and chemical accidents have increased. Nowadays, the safety awareness of the public has increased. As a result, the management and supervision of hazardous chemicals have been strengthened. However, the port policy of Korea has focused on increasing the volume of cargo through facility development. Thus, the port management of hazardous chemicals has been relatively neglected. For national economic growth and society, the port management of hazardous chemicals should be considered to efficiently ensure safety and economic growth. Therefore, this study assumed scenarios where hazardous materials were moved in a dangerous container, not only on appropriate wharfs but also in ports that were close to a big city. The BTX substances were selected among the toxic chemicals with large import and export volumes, and the risk distance and damage effects were predicted using various risk assessment programs. It is expected that this could be used to improve a port safety management system and could be utilized to determine the safety distance in case of an accident.

Seasonal and tidal variations of density stratification in the Saemangeum waters are investigated based on synoptic CTD observations between July 2003 and September 2005. CTD data used in this study are those obtained after closing the dike No. 4 and before closing the two final gaps, the Sinsi and the Garyeok, on the Saemangeum tidal harrier. A total of 19 field campaigns comprehend a wide temporal spectrum, that is, few seasons, spring and neap tides, and high and low waters. In addition, ADCPs were anchored and CTDs were cast at three stations for 25 h in July 2005. Water columns are vertically homogeneous in autumn and winter. The vertical homogeneity persists in spring but with an occasional weak stratification in i:he northern part of the Gogunsan Islands. Increased reshwater runoff tends to stabilize the water columns and strong density stratification is established in summer. The mean potential energy anomaly (PEA) in summer used as a stratification parameter is the largest $(27.7\;J\;m^{-3})$ in the northern part of the Gogunsan Islands where the Geum River discharge dominates, the smallest $(16.9\;J\;m^{-3})$ is in the inner area of the barrier, in between the two $(21.6\;J\;m^{-3})$ in the southern part of the Gogunsan Islands. Whereas the stratification is generally strengthened in summer, strong winds or large tidal currents over the shallow depths frequently destratify the water column near the mouth of river runoff inside the tidal barrier. Periodic stratification, the development of stratification on the ebb and its breakdown on the flood, occurs in the mid-area inside the barrier induced by the tidal straining, which can also be found in the results of 25 h observation.

Isotopic compositions of ice and meltwater play a very crucial role in paleoclimate studies based on ice cores and water resources research conducted in alpine hydrogeology. Better understanding of variations in the stable isotopic compositions of water is required since changes from ice to liquid water are gaining more attention due to recent climate change. In this work, a melting experiment was designed and conducted to investigate how the isotopic compositions of ice vary with time by heat sources, such as solar radiation. We conducted the melting experiment for 22 hours. The discharge rate rose to a maximum value after 258 minutes and gradually declined because we fixed the heat source. The isotopic compositions of meltwater increased linearly or to a second degree polynomial. The linear relationship between oxygen and hydrogen has a slope of 6.8, which is less than that of the Global Meteoric Water Line (8) and higher than a theoretical value (6.3). The deuterium excess decreased when ${\delta}D$ or ${\delta}^{18}O$ increases or vise versa since the slope of the relationship for ice-liquid exchange is less than 8. These findings and the apparatus of the melting experiments will make a helpful contribution to the studies of stable isotopes and the melting process in temperate and polar regions.

본 연구는 갑문 개방시 유출부의 흐름 현상을 수리모형실헐 결과와 3차원 수치모형실험을 비교 분석하는데 역점을 두고 있다. 대상 갑문은 군장(군산-장항)국가산업단지내의 솔리천에서 유입되는 홍수량 $218m^3/s$을 배제하기 위해서 설계된 배수갑문이다. 수치실험에 사용된 모형은 상용 전산유체역학 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX-10의 ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ 난류모형이다. CFX-10의 장점은 난류 흐름에 대해 현상을 양호하게 시뮬레이션 할 수 있으며 특히 물과 공기 접촉면(two phase interface)인 경계층에서 흐름 분리현상을 비교적 뚜렷하게 해석할 수 있다. 수치실험에서 해석된 유속 및 수면의 흐름 형태는 수리모형실험과 유사하게 나타났다.

수영만으로 유입되는 수영강수에 의한 하구의 물리적인 특성을 밝히기 위하여 1989년 5월부터 1990년 4월까지 월별로 관측된 염분 자료와 Officer(1977)가 제안한 식을 이용하여 담수량 및 그 체류 시간을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 수평적으로는 수영만의 동백섬을 기준으로 수영강과 접하고 있는 만 안쪽으로 저염화가 강하게 나타나고 연직적으로는 강 혼합과 부분 혼합의 특징이 나타났다. 그리고 수영강을 중심으로 광안리 쪽이 해운대쪽보다 높은 담수율을 나타내었다. 그리고 거리에 따른 담수율의 분포 특성을 알아보기 위하여 수영강에서 외해쪽으로 6개 정점에서 각각 계산한 담수율을 각각의 최대치로 나누어 계절별로 정규화한 결과 담수율이 지수함수적으로 감소하였다. 추계에는 정점C3를 기준으로 감소율이 다른 계절에 비해 현저히 떨어졌는데, 이것은 성층에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 그리고 앞에서 구한 담수율을 이용하여 수영강에서 유입되는 담수의 체류시간을 계산한 결과, 약 1.3일인 하계를 제외하고 나머지 계절은 약 10~15일 정도임이 밝혀져 하계가 다른 계절이 비하여 담수의 순환이 빠름을 알 수 있었다.

Seasonal variations of various physicochemical components (temperature, salinity, pH, DO, COD, DOC, nutrients-silicate, DIN, DIP) and potential limiting factor for phytoplankton primary production were studied in the surface water of semi-enclosed Masan Bay. Seasonal variations of nutrient concentrations, with lower values in summer and winter, and higher in fall, are probably controlled by freshwater loadings to the bay, benthic flux and magnitude of occurrence of phytoplankton communities. Their spatial distributional patterns are primarily dependent on physical mixing process between freshwater and coastal seawater, which result in a decreasing spatial gradient from inner to outer part of the bay. In the fall season of strong wave action, the major part of nutrient inputs (silicate, ammonium, dissolved inorganic phosphorus) comes from regeneration (benthic flux) at sediment-water interface. During the summer period, high Si:DIN and Si:DIP and low DIN:DIP relative to Redfield ratios suggest a N- and secondarily P-deficiency. During other seasons, however, silicate is the potential limiting factor for primary production, although the Si-deficiency is less pronounced in the outer region of the bay. Indeed, phytoplankton communities in Masan Bay are largely affected by the seasonal variability of limiting nutrients. On the other hand, the severe depletion of DIN (relatively higher silicate level) during summer with high freshwater discharge probably can be explained by N-uptake of temporary nanoflagellate blooms, which responds rapidly to pulsed nutrient loading events. In Masan Bay, this rapid nutrient consumption is considerably important as it can modify the phytoplankton community structures.

마산만의 악화된 수질을 개선하고 관리하기 위해서는 정확한 물수지 및 해수교환 특성 분석이 선결되어야한다. 본 연구에서는 모형적용 영역을 4개의 해역으로 분할하여 월별로 물수지를 분석하였으며, 중요한 입력자료인 유역 유출량은 유출계수(=0.7)를 이용하여 추정하였다. 물수지 분석모형을 마산만 및 인근해역에 적용한 결과는 다음과 같다. 마산만 유역의 용수공급에 의한 유출기여율은 1978년 10% 수준에서 점차 증가하여, 현재는 강우에 의한 유출량과 대등한 수준이다. 또한, 하수 차집관거에 의한 유출저감량은 총 유입량의 약 25% 정도이며, 강우 및 증발에 의한 순영향은 10% 정도이다 한편, 마산만의 수리하적 정체시간은 약 3개월(97일)로, 해수교환이 잘 이루어지지 않는다. 해수교환에 의한 염도변화를 분석한 결과 월평균 강우와 염도의 시기적인 상관성은 없고, 염도간 지역적인 상관성만이 있는 것으로 나타났다

국립수산진흥원이 관측한 염분자료를 분석하여 여름철 남해의 저염화 현상을 규명하였다. 6월과 8월에 남해 전 수심의 저염화는 강수량과 강물의 유입으로는 설명될 수 없고, 주위 해역 중 유일하게 저염수가 존재하는 제주해협 서편 해역 저염수의 유입으로만 설명이 가능하다. 염보존 Box 모델의 결과에 의하면, 대한해협 서수도의 수송량을 1.4-2.0$\times$$10^{6}$ ㎥/sec이라고 할 때, 이 수송량의 31-36% 정도인 0.5-0.6$\times$$10^{6}$ ㎥/sec(평균유속은 10-13cm/sec)의 수송량이 제주해협을 경유하여 남해로 유입되고, 나머지는 제주도와 대마도 사이로 유입된다.
