The sediment resuspension and diffusion model is an integral part of a sediment transport and morphologic change model. We examined a vertical one-dimensional sediment resuspension and diffusion model using field data collected at about 10-m depth off the Saemangeun $4^{th}$ dike. The field data include waves, currents and suspended sediment concentration near the bed for about a day in May, 2007. The suspended sediment concentration obtained from the 1D model overestimated the observation about two orders of magnitude with single grain size and multiple grain sizes. The incorporation of the bed armoring effect, which adjusts the amount of suspended sediment with the available bed sediment, improved the agreement between the model and observation within a factor of two.

In this study, flow-sediment discharge characteristics and relationships are estimated for the Cheonggyecheon basin, newly restored in 2005. Flow and sediment discharge measurement is performed on Ogansugyo, Majanggyo 2 and Yongdugyo during the rainy seasons in 2005-2006. The parameters of Clark UH are estimated using measured data, and sediment rating curves are derived by using grading and concentration analysis. Concentration time and storage coefficient of Clark UH are estimated 0.5 hr and 0.63 hr for Majanggyo 2, and 0.4 hr and 0.45 hr for Yongdugyo, respectively. Grain size of sediments are composed of fine silt to fine sand (0.008-0.25mm) based on the sediment grain size classification (Lane, 1947). Flow-sediment relationships derived by using concentration analysis shows that sediment discharge has no obvious relationship with flow discharge.

The bed evolution of the stretch of the River Rhine between km-812.5 and km-821.5 is characterised by general bed degradation as a result of the river training works and dredging activities of the last two centuries. The degradation of the river bed affects the water levels, and so the navigation conditions. To combat the erosion of the river bed with the aim to keep up the shipping traffic and to avoid the ecological system damages due to water level reductions, sand-gravel-mixtures were added to the river (so called artificial grain feeding activities). This paper presents the results of an application of a graded sediment transport model in order to study morpholodynamical characteristics due to artificial grain feeding activities in the river stretch. The finite element code TELEMAC2D was used for flow calculation by solving the 2D shallow water equation on non-structured grids. The sediment transport module SISYPHE has been developed for graded sediment transport using a multiple layer model. The needs to apply such graded sediment transport approaches to study morphological processes in the domain are discussed. The calculations have been carried out for the case of middle water flow and different size-fraction distributions. The results show that the grain feeding process could be well simulated by the model.

본 연구는 저수지의 퇴적작용을 이해하는데 필요한, 저수지퇴적토 코어의 물리적 특성 변화에 대한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 준설작업이 시행된 적이 없는 세 곳의 저수지에서 채취한 퇴적토 코어에 대하여 깊이에 따른 가비중, 유기물량, 평균입자크기, 모래의 비율 변화를 연중 일강수량 50mm이상일 때의 강수량을 합산한 연강수량(AP50) 변화 자료와 비교, 분석하였다. 저수지의 퇴적토 코어는 무기질 토양으로서 유기물은 육상식물의 잔재물로부터 기원하였으며, 유기물 함량이 10% 이하인 미사질양토 퇴적토에서 유기물 함량의 변화는 저수지로 유입되는 토양입자크기의 변화와 관계가 있었다. 퇴적토 코어의 입자크기 및 모래 비율의 급격한 변동은 강수량의 증감과 관계가 있었으며, 저수지의 수위 변화와 유속이 저수지의 퇴적토 형성에 영향을 미칠 수도 있다. AP50의 연간 변동 자료를 기초로 추정하였을 때, 10년 이내의 짧은 기간 동안 약 30cm 이상의 퇴적토가 쌓일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 저수지에서 짧은 시간 동안 쌓여서 형성된 퇴적토에도 유역에서 발생한 인위적 또는 자연적 사건들이 퇴적토의 물리적 특성들에 반영될 수 있음이 확인되었다.

The sediment geochemistry, including REE of surface and core samples in the western part off Jeju Island have been carried out in order to understand the provenance and hydrolic sorting. The sediment in the study area were primarily composed of coarse silt with a mean grain size of $2.8{\sim}82.8{\mu}m$. The ratios of TOC over total nitrogen (TN) showed that the study area sediments contained more organic matters of marine origin than those of terrigenous origin. The total A1203, Fe203, K20, MgO, and MnO contents and REE concentration of the fine sediments are higher than those of the coarse sediments. The higher Zr/Th and Zr/Yb ratios in coarse sediments relative to fine-grained detritus indicates sedimentary sorting. Grain size influence the REE concentrations of the study area sediment significantly. The < $63{\mu}m$ fraction of the sediment has higher REE concentration and different REE patterns when compared with those in bulk samples, due to the presence of REE-enrich heavy minerals. The REE distribution patterns of the western part of Jeju Island sediments are relatively enriched in most LREEs than the Yellow River sediment and depleted in the Changjiang River, but the LaN/YbN ratios are similar to the Changjiang sediment. The Eu/Eu* ratios ranged from 0.594~0.665(0.631) is much similar to the Yellow River sediment, possibly mixture of the sediments from these two rivers.

Physical and geoacoustic properties of inner shelf sediment in the South and Southeastern Seas of Korea have been studied based on six piston core samples. The sediments are largely composed of homogeneous mud except the core from the southeasternmost part of the area. Both physical and geoacoustic properties and mean grain size are relatively uniform with sediment depth, suggesting little effect of sediment compaction and/or consolidation. Mean grain size appears to be the most Important variable to determine the physical and acoustic properties. In contrast, the attenuation shows more or less fluctuations. Correlations between physical properties and sediment texture show slight deviations from those of the compared data, caused by the difference of sedimentary processes, mineral composition, and the difference of measurement system. In particular, the velocity is lower (approximately 20-30 m/s) than that of the previous data measured in the same area. This is probably due to the difference in velocity measurement system (particularly, error by a length of sample). We propose new relationships for physical and geoacoustic characteristics of shelf sediment in the study area.

표층퇴적물의 특성과 멀티빔 후방산란 음압의 상관관계를 알아보기 위하여 사퇴가 발달되어 있는 황해 동부해역에서 Simrad EM950 멀티빔 수심기와 그랩을 이용하여 후방산란 음압 자료와 표층퇴적물 시료를 취득하였다. 연구지역은 분급이 양호한 세립사로 덮여있는 서쪽 사퇴 지역과 분급이 불량하고, 자갈과 패각편을 포함하는 중사가 우세하게 덮여 있는 동쪽의 사퇴가 없는 지역으로 나뉜다. 두 지역의 입도차이는 두드러지지 않으나, 후방산란 음압의 변화는 뚜렷한 차이를 보인다. 연구지역의 멀티빔 후방산란 음압은 표층 퇴적물의 입도와 높은 상관관계를 보일 뿐만 아니라 탄산염 함량과도 깊은 관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 상대적으로 높은 탄산염 패각편의 함량은 해저면의 거칠기와 입도의 증가를 야기 시킨다. 동쪽의 사퇴가 없는 지역에서 높게 나타나는 후방산란 음압 값은 조립한 입도와 상대적으로 높은 탄산염 패각편 함량의 영향을 반영하는 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구에서는 혼합사로 구성된 망상하천에서 사주의 변화와 하상토 분급현상을 실내실험을 통하여 파악하였다. 하상경사가 급한 하도에서 유사 유출량은 시간의 변화에 따라 매우 불규칙하지만, 경사가 완만한 하도에서 유사 유출량은 규칙적이고, 일정한 주기를 나타내었다. 또한 2중 퓨리에 해석을 통하여 지배적인 사주의 특성과 진폭을 분석하였다. 하상고가 상승하면 무차원 하상토 입경은 작아졌지만, 하상고가 저하되면 무차원 하상토 입경은 커졌다. 기층에서 무차원 한계소류력과 표층에서 무차원 한계 소류력의 비가 증가하면, 표층에서 평균입경과 무차원 하상토 중앙입경이 작아졌다. 또한 국부적으로 하상경사가 증가하면서, 유사의 선택적 이동에 의하여 하상토가 분급되고, 평면적으로 입경이 불균일하게 분포하는 분급 특성이 나타났다.

We evaluated contamination with organic matter and trace metals by analyzing grain size, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As) in surface sediments at 28 stations around the Geum River estuary in July 2008. The surface sediments in the estuary were mainly composed of coarse sediment (sand and muddy sand), with mean grain size (Mz) ranging between $2-4{\O}$. The high concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals were mainly found at stations in front of the Gusan outer port and industrial complex, and near the Seocheon coast with relatively fine sediments. In addition, the concentrations of IL and all trace metals, except Pb and As, showed good positive correlations with Mz, indicating that the concentrations of organic matter and trace metals were mainly dependent on sediment grain size. The concentrations of COD, AVS, and trace metals in most sediments did not exceed the sediment quality guideline (SQGs). Although the sediments in the study region are not polluted with organic matter and trace metals, there are many point sources of pollutants, such as Gusan port and industrial complex, Janghang refinery, and a thermoelectric power plant around the Geum River estuary. Thus, the management of coastal environments through periodic monitoring of organic matter and trace metals is required in the future.

Variation in the microbial biomass and community structure found in sediment of heavily polluted bays and the adjacent unpolluted areas were examined using phospholipid fatty acid analysis. Total microbial biomass and microbial community structure were responding to environmental determinants, sediment grain size, depth of sediment, and pollution due to petroleum hydrocarbons. The marker fatty acids of microeukaryotes and prokaryotes - aerobic, anaerobic, and sulfate-reducing bacteria - were detected in sediments of the areas studied. Analysis of the fatty acid profiles revealed wide variations in the community structure in sediments, depending on the extent of pollution, sediment depth, and sediment grain size. The abundance of specific bacterial fatty acids points to the dominance of prokaryotic organisms, whose composition differed among the stations. Fatty acid distributions in sediments suggest the high contribution of aerobic bacteria. Sediments of polluted sites were significantly enriched with anaerobic bacteria in comparison with clean areas. The contribution of this bacterial group increased with the depth of sediments. Anaerobic bacteria were predominantly present in muddy sediments, as evidenced from the fatty acid profiles. Relatively high concentrations of marker fatty acids of sulfate-reducing bacteria were associated with organic pollution in this site. Specific fatty acids of microeukaryotes were more abundant in surface sediments than in deeper sediment layers. Among the microeukaryotes, diatoms were an important component. Significant amounts of bacterial biomass, the predominance of bacterial biomarker fatty acids with abundance of anaerobic and sulfate-reducing bacteria are indicative of a prokaryotic consortium responsive to organic pollution.
