하천 합류부는 두 하천이 만나 형성되는 지역으로 합류부 구간의 혼합 매커니즘을 이해하기 위해서는 지류의 다양한 유입조건에 따른 본류와의 수체혼합의 공간적인 패턴을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 대부분의 합류부 연구들은 실측을 통한 현장데이터를 획득하기 어렵기 때문에 수리 및 수질 수치모형을 통한 연구가 주로 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 지류와 본류의 합류의 혼합 현상을 규명하는 인자로 유속과 수심 등 기본적인 수리학적 인자들 외에 최근 하천 유사측정을 위해 부유사농도의 지표로 연구되고 있는 ADCP의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 합류부에서 상이한 유사특성을 가진 두 수체가 혼합되는 양상을 측정하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 해석하고자 하였다. 초음파산란도는 부유사와 관련되는 인자로 SonTek ADCP 이동식으로 측정된 초음파산란도(SNR)자료를 빔퍼짐에 대한 보정, 물에 의한 흡수를 고려하여 보정한 후 3차원 혼합거동의 공간적인 분포를 도출하였다. 그리고 측정기간 중 드론(UAV), LISST를 이용하여 합류부의 혼합양상을 모니터링하여 초음파산란도를 이용한 분석결과와 비교하였다. 분석결과, ADCP로부터 제공되는 초음파산란도를 보정한 결과 합류부의 3차원적인 유사 혼합의 공간적 특성을 규명하는 데 적합한 인자라고 할 수 있었고, 상이한 본류와 지류의 유입을 고려하였을 때 다양한 혼합 거동을 분석하는데 지표로 사용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 남강과 낙동강의 합류부에 대해 초음파산란도를 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 분석하였다.

동해 남서해역 퇴적물의 현장 음파전달속도를 파악하기 위하여 신호투과법을 이용하여 퇴적물의 실험실 음파전달속도를 측정하였다. 측정된 실험실 음파전달속도는 해저면 온도, 해수 음파전달속도, Kim et al. (2004)과 Hamilton (1980) 모델을 적용하여 현장 음파전달속도로 보정하였다. Kim et al. (2004)과 Hamilton (1980)의 현장 음파전달속도는 연구지역 퇴적물 특성을 반영하며, 유사한 분포를 보인다. 현장 음파전달속도 보정에는 해저면 온도의 영향을 크게 받는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 퇴적물의 실험실 음파전달속도를 통해 현장 음파전달속도를 파악하기 위해서는 해저표층 온도 자료를 통한 온도 보정이 반드시 수행되어야 한다.

The concentrations of trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, and Zn) were determined in 49 surface sediment samples collected in Yeoja and Gangjin Bays on the south coast of Korea, which contain many shellfish farms, in order to assess the contamination level and to understand the spatial distribution of trace metals. The average metal concentrations in the surface sediments of both bays decreased in the order Fe > Mn > Zn > Cr > Pb > Cu > As > Cd > Hg. There were no differences in metal concentrations between shellfish farms and reference sites. The metal concentrations were significantly higher in Gangjin Bay than in Yeoja Bay. Notably, the Cu, Cd, and Hg concentrations were nearly twice as high in Gangjin Bay as in Yeoja Bay. A multivariate analysis showed a strong correlation among Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cr in the sediments of both bays, implying that the metal concentrations in the sediments in the study area were mainly dependent on natural processes, such as crustal components and diagenesis. Based on the geoaccumulation index and marine sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), the surface sediments in Yeoja and Gangjin Bays are not polluted by trace metals.

A natural mixed stand of Phragmites australis and Phacelurus latifolius was studied to clarify the distribution properties in a microsite in a tidal flat of Suncheon Bay. The height, density, and biomass of the shoots, as well as the biomass of the root system, were monitored for both species along with the altitude on a mound from June 2010 to October 2013. Firstly, the mean height and dry weight of both species were similar during the growth season. However, individual variations of the sizes of plants in the same species were noticeable. Secondly, the density and dry weight per unit area of P. latifolius increased, but that of P. australis decreased with the altitude on the mound. Thirdly, the root system (rhizomes and roots) of P. latifolius was mostly located in the upper layer (up to 20 cm depth), while that of P. australis was in the lower layer (over 70 cm depth) of the sediment. The roots of P. australis penetrated to the lower parts of the water table, while the roots of P. latifolius did not make contact with free water of the sediment. Fourthly, the removal of the shoot in the early growth season led to a visible reduction of biomass in the late growth season. The reduction rate was larger in P. latifolius than in P. australis. Lastly, in the area where the mound was removed, the density of P. australis increased in the first two years (2010-2011) and was highly sustained inthe last two years (2012-2013). However, the density of P. latifolius was low, and this plant was distributed at the edge of the mound only.

To understand the characteristics of sedimentary and benthic environments in habitats of naturally-occurring intertidal benthic macroalgae, various geochemical parameters of sediment (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], and acid volatile sulfur [AVS]) and pore water (temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrients) were measured in the southern intertidal zone of Hampyeong Bay at two month intervals from April to October 2009. Ecological characteristics including the distribution and biomass of benthic macroalgae were also investigated. Benthic macroalgae were distributed below 4 to 5 m depth from mean sea level near the lower portion of the intertidal zone where air exposure time is relatively short. The distribution area and biomass of benthic macroalgae gradually decreased during the study period. The surface sediments in the benthic algal region were mainly composed of finer sediments, such as slightly gravelly mud and mud. The temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrient concentrations (except dissolved inorganic nitrogen) in pore water did not differ in regions with and without benthic macroalgae, whereas the mean grain size and the concentrations of IL, COD, and AVS in sediments were much higher in regions harboring benthic macroalgae. The correlation between mean grain size and IL in sediments displayed two distinct gradients and the slope was much steeper in regions harboring benthic macroalgae, indicating that the content of organic matter in benthic algal region is not solely dependent on mean grain size. Our results indicate that the benthic macroalgae in the southern intertidal zone of Hampyeong Bay play an important role in the accumulation of organic matter in sediment.

The 3.5 KHz seismic survey was carried out for studying the distribution pattern of the unconsolidated sediments of the Yeosu Sound on the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. Field data originally recorded in analog are converted and processed digitally to recover the high-resolution acoustic profiles. Across the north-south trending channel with the depth of 20~30 m, different seismic facies types are observed in the top section of sediments. The western part is characterized by the continuous high-amplitude subparallel reflectors within which the acoustic turbidity as a token of the presence of gas is commonly observed, whereas the counterpart largely shows poor reflectors and has shallow acoustic basement toward the north. The dissimilarity of the seismic expression across the channel can be interpreted as the result of the change of depositional environment caused by relative sea-level fluctuations of the late-Quaternary. During the last glacial period, the Yeosu Sound was exposed and eroded by the paleo-Seomjin River. By the following rapid rise of sea level, it was covered by the transgressive sand sheet. When the sea level reached near the present position, the muddy sediment has accumulated only in the western part of the Yeosu Sound as its depositional front has moved toward the north. It is partly caused by the asymmetrical tidal current in the Yeosu Sound where the flood near the bottom has stronger current flow and contains more suspended sediments.

한반도 서남해안의 고창군 광승리 개방형 대조차 해빈에서 계절에 따른 표층 퇴적상과 퇴적환경 변화를 연구하였다. 표층 퇴적물은 3개 측선의 45지점(각 측선 당 15개 지점)에서 사계절(2006. 5.~2007. 2.)동안 채취하고 분석하였다. 광승리 해빈의 표층 퇴적물은 대부분 세립질 모래로 구성되어 있으며, 평균 입도는 겨울에 가장 조립하게 나타난다. 펄 퇴적상은 여름에 부분적으로 존재하는 반면, 겨울에는 거의 나타나지 않는다. 표층 퇴적물의 공간 분포는 봄, 가을, 겨울에 세립사와 중립사가 해안선과 평행한 띠 모양으로 나타난다. 연구지역의 북쪽에서는 여름에 세립사, 겨울에 조립사가 우세하게 나타난다. 여름 광승리 해빈의 표층 퇴적물에 미치는 영향은 조석이 파랑보다 효과적인 것으로 해석된다.

본 연구에서는 치수안전도의 정확한 평가는 물론 자연환경에 대한 평가에 중요한 하천식물군락에 주목하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 하천식물군락과 유사거동에 따른 하도변화와의 상관관계의 규명에 관심을 두었다. 하도수리학 관점에서 하천내 식생분포 특성에 대한 하도현장을 조사한 결과, 하도변화를 야기하는 여러 물리적 요인이 있지만, 하천식생에 의한 하도변화, 특히 하천식물군락에 의한 유사퇴적이 하상변동을 야기시키고 있음이 확인되었다. 이를 수리학적으로 규명하기 위하여 수리모형실험을 실시하였다. 실험에서 하상경사 1/200인 자갈하천에 우점하는 달뿌리풀을 대상으로 하였다. 실험의 내용은 평균입경 0.3 mm의 소류사를 총 1 시간동안 27 kg을 균등하게 공급한 결과, 거의 동일한 수리량 조건하에서 식물군락의 밀도와 배치에 따라 흐름의 변화와 퇴적/세굴양상이 분명히 다르게 나타났다. 따라서, 하도내 퇴적 및 세굴이 하천식물군락의 분포 특성에도 영향을 미치므로 하천식물군락과 유사거동에 따른 하도변화는 상호 밀접한 관계가 있을 것으로 평가할 수 있었다.

The sediment samples were collected from Seonakdong River and were analyzed for sulfide species such Acid Volatile Sulfide(AVS) and Elemental Sulfur(ES) and Chromium Reducible Sulfide(CRS). Then characteristics of the formation of sulfide species were investigated for six selected samples. Finally the relationship between environmental factors and sulfate reducing rate(SRR) was investigated using two selected samples. Concentrations of AVS and CRS were relatively high, which suggests that organics input to the sediments has been continued until recently and that potential of heavy metals leaching from the sediments is low. SRR in the sediments was closely related to fraction of fine particles(silt+clay) and also to dissolved organic carbon content of the sediment(DOCsed). The dependences of environmental factors such as organic content, temperature, sulfate concentration on the SRR was relatively strong in the selected experiments conducted with the samples from Noksan gate and Daejeo gate samples. The environmental factor dependencies were stronger in the Noksan gate samples than in the Daejeo gate samples, which is probably due to higher surface area of the Noksan gate sediments.

This study investigated the distributive property of micropollutants in sediment around Gwang-yang bay using simultaneous analytical method of 310 chemicals. In the results, the major micropollutants detected were CH type chemicals such as aliphatic, polycyclic compounds, benzenes, and CHN(O) type chemicals aromatic amines, and pesticides. Insecticides of pesticide type were frequently detected at all sampling site. The total concentration of micropollutants were higher in summer than in winter and measured within the range of $ND{\sim}36.50{\mu}g/L$. Also, because of effect of seomjin river, GY6 of all sampling site detected by the highest concentration, GY10 and 11 located in Gwang-yang outside bay were not detected the micropollutants. From the result of this study, we should estimated that the industrial complex located in Gwang-yang inside bay and an inflow of fresh water through the Seomjin river are major pollution sources of Gwang-yang bay.
