A light-weight multiple piston corer to meet increasing coring needs in areas where R/V access is limited, is designed and discussed. Hydraulically-damped and spring-driven piston system not only virtually undisturbed surface sediments but also facilitate the recovery and subsequent operation including pore water extraction and core slicing on board the ship. It is designed as compact, light-weight and easy to dissemble that whole gear can be carried by small passenger vehicle yet it permits thick-walled core tube for thermal insulation or large opening core tubes. Because single spring instead of heavy weights of conventional gravity-driven multiple corers is used, this device is very simple and cheap to construct.

Basic studies on natural gas hydrates in the East Sea were been carried out by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) from 2000 to 2004 involving 2D multichannel seismic lines and piston coring. 27 piston cores recovered from the deed-water Ulleung Basin of the East Sea were analyzed in this study. In piston cores cracks generally developed parallel to bedding suggest significant gas content. The core analyses showed high total organic carbon (TOC) content, sedimentation rate and heat flow of sediments. The cores recovered from the southern study area show also high residual hydrocarbon gas concentrations for the formation of natural gas hydrates. This study indicates that there is the potential for the generation of biogenic gas and the formation of natural gas hydrates in the near seafloor sediments of the study area.

The inflow into a multi-purpose dam reservoir contains many suspended solids from the upper stream during the rainy season. Concentrations of SS increased to 73.3 mg/l and the TP measurement increased to 0.09 mg/l during the rainy season in 1999. It was discovered that particles less than $10\;\mu\textrm{m}$ in size composed about 50% of the total amount. Some of these particles reduce the reservoir capacity and have an impact on water. In this study, the sediment depth at Daecheong multi-purpose dam was examined. Piston coring was performed at 9 locations At Hoenam 1 out of 9 locations examined showed maximum depth, which was 90 cm and at Muneui 3 showed the minimum depth, which was 35 cm. At Hoenam, the release rate of TN was found to be $62.14~84.72\;mg/\textrm{m}^2{\cdot}day$ in 1998. However, it was found to considerably reduced to $23.20\;mg/\textrm{m}^2{\cdot}day$ in 2001. The release rate of TP was measured at $13.02~14.38\;mg/\textrm{m}^2$.day at 1998, and it was reduced to $6.93mg/\;mg/\textrm{m}^2{\cdot}day$ in 2001.

해양 심부 견인 전기비저항 탐사 방법이 새로이 개발되었다. 이 방법은 탄성파 반사법 탐사에서 잘 영상화 되지 않던 메탄 하이드레이트의 상부 경계를 찾아내기 위해 고안되었다. 이 장비는 하나의 송신기와 8개의 송신 전극들 및 한 개의 수신쌍극자를 갖는 160 m 연장의 긴 꼬리가 연구용 탐사선에 연결 되어 해저면 근처에서 끌리도록 만들어져 있다. 수치모형실험은 고안된 해양 전기비저항 탐사 방법이 메탄 하이드레이트 층의 상부를 효과적으로 잘 영상화함을 보여주었다. 실제 탐사는 메탄 하이드레이트가 노두로 관찰된 동해에 속해 있는 Joetsu의 먼바다에서 수행되었다. 대략 3.5 km에 달하는 탐사측선에 대하여 전기비저항 자료가 성공적으로 얻어 졌으며 상대적으로 높은 겉보기비저항 값들이 감지되었다. 특별히 메탄 하이드레이트가 들어나 있는 지역에서는 이상적으로 높은 겉보기비저항 값이 관측되었으며, 우리는 이 고겉보기비저항 값이 해저면 밑의 메탄 하이드레이트 지역에 의한 것으로 해석 하였다. 해양 전기비저항 탐사는 메탄 하이드레이트가 매장되어 있는 지역에서 해저면 하부를 잘 영상화 할 수 있는 새로운 도구가 될 것이다.
