Understanding the interaction between climate and the water cycle is critical especially in a drought sensitive region such as California. This study explored hydrologic changes in central and southern California in relation to the glacial-interglacial climate cycles over the last 30 thousand years. To do this, we reconstructed paleovegetation using plant wax carbon isotopic compositions (${\delta}^{13}C$) preserved in marine sediment cores retrieved from the central California continental shelf (ODP Site 1018) and Santa Barbara Basin (ODP Site 893A). The results were then compared to the existing sea surface temperature (SST) and pollen records from the same cores to understand terrestrial hydrology in relation to oceanographic processes. The Last Glacial was generally dry both in central and southern California, indicated by grassland expansion, confirming the previously suggested notion that the westerly storm track that supplies the majority of the precipitation in California may not have moved southward during the glacial period. Southern California was drier than central California during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This drying trend may have been associated with the weakening of the California Current and northerly winds leading to the early increase in SST in southern California and decline in both offshore and coastal upwelling. The climate was wetter during the Holocene in both regions compared to the glacial period and forest coverage increased accordingly. We attribute this wetter condition to the precipitation contribution increase from the tropics. Overall, we found a clear synchronicity between the terrestrial and marine environment which showed that the terrestrial vegetation composition in California is greatly affected by not only the global climate states but also regional oceanographic and atmospheric conditions that regulate the timing and amount of precipitation over California.

한반도 동해에서 자연 상태의 해빈(낙산-오산 해빈)과 인공구조물이 설치된 해빈(안목-염전 해빈)의 퇴적물을 조사하고 두 해빈간의 차이를 확인하기 위하여 2004년 홍수기와과 2005년 갈수기에 해빈의 후안 및 전안에 대해 걸쳐 조사를 실시하였다. 낙산-오산 해빈의 후안 및 전안에서는 해빈 남측으로 가면서 평균입도가 세립해지고 분급이 양호해지는 등 퇴적상과 조직변수가 일정하게 변화하였으며 계절간의 변화가 크지 않았다. 그러나 안목-염전 해빈은 낙산-오산 해빈에 비해 후안 및 전안의 평균입도가 조립하고 분급이 불량하며 양의 왜도 값이 많았고 연근해를 포함하여 조직변수의 전체적인 변화 경향성을 찾기가 어려웠다. 이러한 두 해빈의 특징은 해안을 따라 흐르는 연안류가 해안선의 형태에 따라 변화하고 이로 인해 퇴적물의 특성에 영향을 주었기 때문으로 생각된다. 특히 안목-염전 해빈은 인공구조물(안목항)이 연안류의 흐름을 막아 자연 상태와는 다른 퇴적환경의 변화를 일으키는 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 안목-염전지역은 항만의 공사가 추가로 계획되어 있어 향후 지속적인 변화가 있을 것으로 예상된다.

우리나라 진도에서 채집된 도치과(Cyclopteridae)의 긴꼬리엄지도치(Eumicrotremus jindoensis)는 2017년에 신종 보고 이후 추가적으로 서해 보령에서 1개체(22.3 mm SL)가 연안개량안강망으로 채집되었다. 그러나, 본 개체는 모식표본보다 더 많은 척추골수(26 vs. 21~24), 긴 주둥이길이(17.4% vs. 8.1~9.1%), 긴 항문장(67.5% vs. 58.0~58.3%), 그리고 짧은 제2등지느러미 앞 길이(15.3% vs. 20.2~20.8%)를 가지는 점에서 약간의 형태적 차이를 나타냈다. 미토콘드리아 DNA COI 영역과 Cytb 영역의 염기서열을 비교했을 때, 본 개체는 모식표본과 유전적인 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 따라서 이러한 형태적인 차이는 우리나라 진도와 보령 해역의 서로 다른 서식지 및 환경 조건에 따른 지리적 변이로 추정된다. 우리나라 도치과 어류 중 엄지도치(E. uenoi)는 우리나라 남해역(부산, 통영 및 제주도)에서만 발견되고 있으며, 동 속의 우릉성치(E. asperrimus), 골린어(E. pacificus) 그리고 도치(E. taranetzi)는 모두 동해역에서만 서식하기 때문에, 긴꼬리엄지도치만이 우리나라 서해의 중부 및 남부해역에서 발견되는 점에서 매우 흥미롭다.

The coarse deposit with a lower mud content adjacent to the shelf of the southern East Sea is probably a "relict" sediment deposited in response to a lower stand of sea level during the Pleistocene. The sediment that developed on the slope and in the deep sea was river-borne primarily and was secondarily reworked or redistributed by the Tsushima Warm Current from the East China Sea. The clay mineralogy of the area suggests various sources of fine-grained sediment from adjacent rivers, the Korea Strait, volcanic material from Ulleung Island, and the Japan coast. Massive sand, bioturbated mud, homogeneous mud, and laminated mud were the dominant facies found in the core sediments from the study area. The massive sand was mainly volcanic ash from an eruption on Ulleung Island (9300 yr BP) and consisted of colorless pumiceous glass and a black scoriaceous type. The sedimentation rates on the slope, based on the Ulleung-Oki ash layer, were about 10cm/ky higher than in the basin. Other than the coarse-grain sediment, the mean size of the fine sediment dominating the bioturbated and homogeneous muds in the basin and the laminated mud on the slope was 6-10 phi. This indicates a difference in the major sedimentary process: hemipelagic sedimentation in the Ulleung Basin and mass flow deposition, such as turbidite, on the slope of the southern East Sea.

우리나라 남해산 참굴과 서해산 참굴의 형태학적 특성이 단순한 생태학적 요소에 기인하는지 또는 유전학적 요소에 근거를 두고 있는지를 규명하는 한 방도로 1968년 중에 채묘된 남해 해역의 통영$\cdot$예천 그리고 고흥산 굴치와 서해 해역의 충남 간월도산 굴씨를 1969년 5월중에 각 산지간에 상호 교환 이식하여 해수 유통이 잘 되는 플라스틱 바구니에 담아 간조선 1시간 이내의 지점에다 설치한 간이 수하식 시설에 항상 해수에 담기는 위치에 매단 후 월 2회에 걸쳐 굴씨의 성장 측정과 해수 및 공기의 온도 그리고 염분 측정을 시행하였다. 조기분과 후기분 굴씨의 성장은 시초에는 후기분보다 $17\~240\%$ 컸던 조기분 굴씨가 성장과 더불어 후기분과의 차이를 점점 좁혀 1차년도 성장이 끝날 무렵인 12월까지는 $5\~20\%$선까지 좁혀졌다. 서해역 간월도산 굴씨의 서해와 남해 해역에서의 성장은 남해산 굴씨에 비해 훨씬 뒤떨어지고 있으며 이는 비록 동일한 species에 속하는 참굴이기는 하나 다른 race에 속함을 시사하고 있다. 남해산 굴씨의 성장은 장소를 불문코 대동소이하며 이는 이들이 동일한 품종에 속한다는 통상 관측을 확인하는 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 월 2회에 걸쳐 얻어진 온도와 염도 변화에 의하면 우기 중 육수의 혼합으로 인한 해수 염도의 저하나 온도 변화가 굴의 산란으로부터 굴 치패의 부착 과정을 심하게 저해하는 정도에 달하지는 않은 것 같다. 그러나 굴의 산란기 전후와 굴 치패의 부착 기간 중의 집약적인 측정 자료가 없으므로 이 결과는 4개소의 해양조건의 대체적인 성격을 표시하는 제한된 자료에 지나지 않는다.

The neritid species Clithon retropictus inhabits rivers and estuaries along the southern coast of the Korean mainland but has not been previously reported from Jeju Island. In 2007 and 2011 specimens of this species were obtained from two separate localities on the south coast of the island. Comparisons were made with von Martens' original description, specimens from the Korean mainland, and illustrations and descriptions in the literature. Although there were some differences in color and markings, and slight differences in morphology, the specimens from Jeju Island compare well with those from the mainland and in the literature. The shells of this species become more ovate and more eroded with age. In one locality, a small river, specimens of the pleurocerid Semisulcospira libertina (Gould, 1859), were found adjacent to, and coexisting with, a population of C. retropictus, an association that often occurs. The occurrence of Clithon retropictus represents a range extension to Jeju Island.

Interannual variation and long-term trends of coastal sea surface temperature (SST) in Korea were investigated by analyzing 27 coastal SST time series from 1969 to 2004. Long-term linear increasing trend was remarkable with the rate over $0.02^{\circ}C/year$ at almost all the stations. The slope of long-term linear trend was larger at the stations along the eastern coast than in the western and southern regions. It was also noticeable that there was a common tendency of interannual variability with the period of 3-5 years at most of the stations. SST was lower in the 1970's and early 1980's while it was higher in the 1990's and early 2000's after the increase in the late 1980's. The pattern of the interannual variability of SST was similar to that of air temperature. Increasing trend of minimum SST in winter was obvious at most stations na it was larger along the eastern coast, while the linear trend of maximum SST in summer was less definite. Therefore, the decreasing tendency of annual amplitude was mainly due to the increasing tendency of SST in winter.

In order to predict the sailing performance of a LNGC during actual operation, it is necessary to consider not only the information about resistance, maneuverability etc. but also the information such as sea route and sailing scenario etc., comprehensively. In this paper, we propose a new approach to conduct the sailing simulation of a LNGC without full scale measurement data. Latitude, longitude, sea route, speed over ground, time in UTC obtained from AIS data are substituted for the measured data. By combining the model test results, design information, and AIS data, prediction of sailing performance is conducted from the coast of southern Taiwan to the coast of Madagascar. The simulation is verified by comparing the calculated time histories of RPM and power with those of measured RPM and power.

Movement of shorebirds for roosting was studied to find their response to insufficient roosting area on Ganghwa Island. It was taken from two kinds of aspects of population fluctuation and direct observation of movement from March to October in 2002. Based on the data from their weekly fluctuation and flight observation, shorebirds on Ganghwa Island moved to roosts located far away. Shorebirds feeding at southern Ganghwa Island moved to Yeongjong Island for roosting during the spring tide period. High tide count showed that the number of shorebirds on Yeongjong Island increased strikingly, while the number of birds on Ganghwa Island decreased. As the tide level increased, the number of shorebirds on Ganghwa Island decreased in the fall migrating season (r$_{s}$= -0.81, p＜0.001), whereas that on Yeongjong Island was not correlated significantly. Direct observation showed that some of the birds on the upper tidal zone of Ganghwa Island moved directly to the northern mudflat of Yeongjong Island during the flowing tide or dropped by flat zone on Seondu-ri. Insufficient coastal wetlands on Ganghwa Island induced them to move away from the island for roosting place and to endure costly flight energy expenditure. The development of wetlands on the southern Yeongjong Island would make them have no place available to roosts. Therefore this study proposes that shorebird roosts on Ganghwa Island should be created to conserve their habitat.t.

A single specimen (30.35 mm standard length) of Ptereleotris evides was collected from the southern coast of Jejudo Island, Korea, in September 2017 during a skin diving outing. Ptereleotris evides is characterized by having a slightly elongated body, six spines on the 1^st dorsal fin, one spine and 25 soft rays on the 2^nd dorsal fin, 22 pectoral fin rays, one spine and four soft rays on the pelvic fin, one spine and 25 soft rays on the anal fin, and no disc in pelvic fin. This species differs from the congeneric species, P. hanae and P. heteroptera in having no elongated rays on the caudal fin and a black spot at the ventral margin of the caudal peduncle, respectively. Molecular analysis results based on mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences showed that our specimen almost corresponded to P. evides (99.82%) sequences from registered at the NCBI. As this is the first record of P. evides in Korean waters, we propose a new Korean name for it, "Ga-mak-cheong-hwang-mun-jeol".
