We investigated geochemical properties, and microbial sulfate- and iron(III) reduction in sediment influenced by the aquaculture of abalone in the Nohwa-do, southern coastal sea in Korea. Concentrations of ammonium, phosphate, and sulfide in the pore-water were higher at farm sites than at control sites. The differences between the 2 types of sites were most apparent in terms of the weights of abalone and the temperature increase during September. Accordingly, the rates of sulfate reduction at the farm sites during September (61 mmol S $m^{-2}d{-1}$) were 3-fold higher than the sulfate reduction during May (20 mmol S $m^{-2}d{-1}$). In contrast, Fe(III) reduction rates were highest at the control sites in May, but its significance was relatively decreased at farm sites during September when sulfate reduction rates were highest. During September, benthic ammonium flux was 3-fold greater at the farm sites (35 mmol N $m^{-2}d{-1}$) than at the control sites (12 mmol N $m^{-2}d{-1}$), and phosphate flux was 8-fold higher at the farm sites (0.018 mmol P $m^{-2}d{-1}$) than at control sites (0.003 mmol P $m^{-2}d{-1}$). Overall results indicated that the inappropriate operation of a large-scale aquaculture farm may result in excess input of biodeposits and high nutrient fluxes from the sediment, thereby decreasing diversity of the benthic ecosystem and deepening eutrophication in coastal waters.

한반도 남해안에 위치하는 마산만의 퇴적환경을 파악하기 위해 표층퇴적물과 부유퇴적물의 조사를 실시하였다. 마산만에서 채취된 표층입도 분석결과 표층퇴적물은 펄(Mud), 자갈이 약간 함유된 펄(slightly gravelly Mud), 자갈펄(gravelly Mud)등 총 3개의 퇴적상으로 구분되었다. 전반적으로 펄이 우세한 퇴적상이며 만 중앙부의 수로 지역에서 약간의 자갈이 함유된 펄이 나타났다. 준설전과 준설후의 퇴적상은 큰 차이가 없이 실트가 우세한 펄이 주로 분포한다. 계절별로 1조석 주기동안 관측된 자료에 의하면, 수온과 염분은 지형의 영향으로 약한 조류로 인하여 계절에 상관없이 성층을 이루고 있으며, 수직적인 혼합은 발생하지 않았다. 육상에서 유입되는 담수와 외해수의 영향은 작은 것으로 보여 진다. 최강유속은 봄과 가을에는 낙조시에 나타나며, 여름과 겨울에는 창조시에 나타난다. 그리고 여기에서 발생하는 잔류유속에 의해 부유물질의 순이동률과 순이동량의 방향이 결정되는 것으로 나타났다. 부유퇴적물의 순이동량은 봄과 가을에 각각 $62.02{\times}10^3kgm^{-1}$, $31.84{\times}10^3kgm^{-1}$의 양이 외해쪽으로 향하며, 여름과 겨울에 각각 $18.23{\times}10^3kgm^{-1}$, $3.22{\times}10^3kgm^{-1}$의 양이 내만쪽으로 향하였다.

The relatively tranquil area within the Gogunsan Archipelago was for the first time investigated preliminarily with respect to modern sedimentological processes in association with the emplacement of the Saemangeum Dyke. Basic sedimentological observations, bathymetry and surface sediments were performed twice during 2006-2008 to compare the results and elaborate changes during that period of time. In addition, sediment dynamical observations were carried out with latest measuring equipment along two transects crossing the entrances of the archipelago, including 12-hour onboard measurements of current, suspended sediments, temperature, and salinity. This dataset was used to reveal hydrodynamic characteristics for spring season April-May and to estimate the direction and relative magnitude of the net flux of suspended sediments. There occurred three depositional areas (A to C) within the archipelago, where sediment texture was also changed. In area A, around Yami Island and the dyke, and area B, in the center of the archipelago, surface sediments became coarsened over the two-year period; sand content increased 5% at the expense of silt content in the former, whereas silt content increased 3% at the expense of clay content in the latter. By comparison, area C in the western entrance of the archipelago shows a textural trend of fining with more silt and clay (combined increase of 5%) at the expense of sand content. The accumulation of sediments in areas A and B is attributable to the sand and silt resuspended from the seabed sediments off sector 4 of the dyke during the winter. The origin of the fine materials depositing on area C is uncertain at present, although suspended sediments moving offshore around the archipelago may be one of the most likely candidates for the source. The temperature of seawater increased rapidly from $9-10^{\circ}C$ in April to $14-16^{\circ}C$ in May, whereas salinity remained more or less constant at 31-32%o during the two months. Both of these parameters showed little variations with depth through a tidal cycle, suggesting good mixing of seawater without any help of significant waves. The consistency of salinity during a tidal cycle also indicates no insignificant effects of freshwater from the rivers Mangyung and Donjin emitting through the opening gap near Sinsi Island. The suspended sediment concentrations were higher at the entrance between Sunyu and Sinsi islands than at the entrance between Hoenggyong and Sinsi islands, ranging from 20 and 30 mg/l and from 5 and 15 mg/l, respectively at the sea surface. Although tidal currents were variable across a transect between Sunyu and Sinsi islands, the currents across the entrance between Hoenggyong and Sinsi islands flowed consistently in the same direction all over the transect during a tidal cycle. The estimation of net flux of suspended sediments indicates that suspended sediments are transferred to the Gogunsan Archipelago mainly through a relatively deep trough adjacent to Sinsi Island toward the shallow area around Yami Island and the dyke.

In order to investigate the effects of intertidal sediments on the nutrient cycle in coastal environments, the benthic fluxes of ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate at two stations on the intertidal flat of Keunso Bay were determined during each season. The efflux of ammonium was observed at S1 and resulted from the diffusion of remineralized ammonium and acceleration caused by the bioirrigation of macrofauna. The influx of ammonium at S2 was probably due to nitrification in the water column. The influx of nitrate was observed at both stations during all seasons, indicating that the nitrate in the pore water was removed by denitrification. Vigorous bioirrigation led to the efflux of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) at S1, whereas the influx of DIN at S2 was predominantly caused by denitrification. Contrary to the diffusive and bio-irrigated release of remineralized phosphate from the sediment at S1, the influx of phosphate was observed at S2, which may be attributable to adsorption onto iron oxides in the aerobic sediment layer. Silicate, which is produced by the dissolution of siliceous material, was mostly released from the sediment by molecular diffusion and bioirrigation. However, the influx of silicate was observed at S2 during spring and winter, which was ascribed to adsorption by particulate matter or assimilation by benthic microphytes. The annual fluxes of DIN were 328 mmol $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ at S1 and -435 mmol $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ at S2. The annual fluxes of phosphate were negative at both sites (-2.8 mmol $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ at S1 and -28.9 mmol $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ at S2), whereas the annual fluxes of silicate were positive at both sites (843 mmol $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ at S1 and 243 mmol $m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ at S2).

농지 개발로 인한 다량의 세립토사 유입은 타호부호수의 생태계를 악화시키고 있다. 호수 퇴적물의 물리적 특성, $^{137}Cs$, 과 화산재를 이용한 연대측정을 위해 호수 퇴적물 시료 15개를 채취하였다. 타호부호수에서 과거 300년간 토사퇴적속도를 조사한 결과, 유역에서 인위적 개발이 없는 1898년 이전 자연상태에서는 토사퇴적량이 0.1-1.1 mm $year^{-1}$였고, 인위적 개발이 시작된 1898년 이후에는 0.6-12.8 mm $year^{-1}$로 급격하게 증가하였다. 즉, 산림벌채, 하천공사와 농지개발 이후 토사퇴적량은 자연상태보다 6-12배 증가하여 호수의 수심이 얕아지는 현상을 가속시켰다. 1898년부터 1963년 사이의 호수 토사퇴적속도는 개별 소유역으로부터 토사유입 영향에 따라 공간적인 변화가 나타났다. 특히 1898년부터 1963년 사이의 호수 남쪽부분의 토사퇴적량은 산림벌채에 의한 숯 생산과 생산된 숯을 수송하기 위한 운하공사로 인해 호수 중앙과 북쪽부분보다 많았다. 하지만 1963년 이후 남쪽부분의 토사퇴적량이 감소하고 중앙과 북쪽부분에서 토사퇴적량이 증가하여 호수 안에서 토사퇴적의 공간적 변화는 없었다. 왜냐하면 호수 남쪽부분에서 많은 양의 토사퇴적은 호수 수심을 얕게 하여 토사를 침전시키는 능력을 감소시켰기 때문으로 생각되었다. 특히 하천 출구에 위치한 지점의 토사퇴적량은 자연상태에 비해 5-32배 높았다. 그리고 쿠시로강(평상시 타호부호수는 쿠시로강으로 배수)은 홍수시 탁수가 역류하여 호수로 유입하기 때문에 토사 유입 증가에 공헌하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A time-series sediment trap was deployed at 1,034 m water depth in the eastern Bransfield Strait for a complete year from December 25, 1998 to December 24, 1999. About 99% of total mass flux was trapped during an austral summer, showing distinct seasonal variation. Biogenic particles (biogenic opal, particulate organic carbon, and calcium carbonate) account for about two thirds of annual total mass flux $(49.2\;g\;m^{-2})$, among which biogenic opal flux is the most dominant (42% of the total flux). A positive relationship (except January) between biogenic opal and total organic carbon fluxes suggests that these two variables were coupled, due to the surface-water production (mainly diatoms). The relatively low $\delta^{13}C$ values of settling particles result from effects on C-fixation processes at low temperature and the high $CO_2$ availability to phytoplankton. The correspondingly low $\delta^{l5}N$ values are due to intense and steady input of nitrates into surface waters, reflecting an unlikely nitrate isotope fractionation by degree of surface-water production. The $\delta^{l5}N$ and $\delta^{l3}C$ values of sinking particles increased from the beginning to the end of a presumed phytoplankton bloom, except for anomalous $\delta^{l5}N$ values. Krill and the zooplankton fecal pellets, the most important carriers of sinking particles, may have contributed gradually to the increasing $\delta^{l3}C$ values towards the unproductive period through the biomodification of the $\delta^{l3}C$ values in the food web, respiring preferentially and selectively $^{12}C$ atoms. Correspondingly, the increasing $\delta^{l5}N$ values in the intermediate-water trap are likely associated with a switch in source from diatom aggregates to some remains of zooplankton, because organic matter dominated by diatom may be more liable and prone to remineralization, leading to greater isotopic alteration. In particular, the tendency for abnormally high $\delta^{l5}N$ values in February seems to be enigmatic. A specific species dominancy during the production may be suggested as a possible and speculative reason.

Lately water quality of Daechong Reservoir has become more eutrophicated than ever before and there has been much concern over especially the eutrophication of the embayment near Daejon and Chongju Water Intake Tower every summer. The purpose of this study is to predict the impact of change in the pollutant loading, flowrate, nitrogen and phosphorus release from sediment, SOD(sediment oxygen demand) upon the water quality of Daechong Reservoir by WASP5/EUTR05 in order to suggest water quality management alternatives. The data of Sep. 1995 were used for the calibration of the model and those of Sep. 1997 was for verification. The result of the modeling can be summarized as follows. 1. The 50% increase(decrease) of pollutant loading has caused that of T-N concentration by 0.10-0.14 mg/l, T-P concentration by 0.003-0.005 mg/l, and CBOD concentration by 0.16-0.18 mg/l. But the ratio of DO change by the change of pollutant loading was relatively small. 2. The sensitivity test of NH4 flux to T-N and that of P04 flux to T-P shows that T-N and T-P concentration were changed more in the epilimnion segments (SEG4, SEG5, SEG6, SEG7) than the other segments. As SOD increases, DO was predicted to decrease more especially in the hypolimnion (SEG9-SEG14). 3. As flowrate increase, the concentration of T-N, T-P, and CBOD were predicted to decrease, but DO concentration increased especially in the hypolimnion segments(SEG11, SEG12, SEG13, and SEG14). As the flowrate changed from $119m^3/sec$ to $50m^3/sec$, the concentration of T-N and CBOD in the hypolimnion was predicted to decrease.

낙동강 하구호의 부영양화와 관련된 인의 순환과정을 구명하기 위해 낙동강 하구호에서 인의 침강과정에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. sediment trap에 포집된 침강성 물질의 침강 플럭스는 중층 및 저층에서 각각 $296g/m^2/d$, $955g/m^2/d$, 침강속도는 1.25m/hr, 3.31m/hr이었고, 인의 침강 플럭스는 중, 저층에서 각각 $0.64g/m^2/d$, $1.97g/m^2/d$, 침강속도는 0.85m/hr, 1.89m/hr이었다. 침강성 물질에 존재하는 POP의 총린에 대한 존재비율은 중층에서 $51.9\%$, 저층에서는 $48.3\%$로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 부영양화 모델을 낙동강 하구호에서 적용할 경우 기존의 인의 침강속도 가정치에 대한 보정이 반드시 행해져야 함을 알 수 있다.
