서해 경기만은 조류방향과 대체로 일치하는 조류성사퇴가 해저면에 발달하고 있으 며, 또 하나의 사퇴구조가 탄성과 퇴적단위내에 매몰되어 나타난다. 이돌 사퇴의 발생 기원과 퇴적환경규명을 위해 팔미도 부근의 사퇴해역에서 획득된 고해상도 탄성피자 료, 표층퇴적물, 주상퇴적물에 대한 정밀 분석 및 연구가 실시되었다. 팔미도 부근의 사퇴 발달해역은 3개의 탄성과 퇴적단위로 구분되며 (unit A, B, C), 각 퇴적단위내에 는 각각 하나의 사퇴가 나타난다(ridge A, B, C). 최상부 퇴적단위내의 사퇴 A 는 조 류방향과 대체로 평행한 북동-남서방향으로 발달하고 있으며 (41$^{\circ}$), 남동방향을 향하 는 사층리 반사구조가 나타난다. 이는 사퇴가 점차 남쪽방향으로 이동되고 있음을 시 사하고 있다. 퇴적단위 B는 하나의 사퇴(ridge B)와 수로충진 구조로 이루어져 있으 며, 사퇴 A와 비교할 때 대체로 유사한 방향, 규모, 내부구조 등을 보이고 있다. 이러 한 사실은 퇴적단위 B가 현재보다 수심의 약 10 m 낮았던 시기에 현재와 유사한 환경 에서 사질퇴적물의 이동에 의해 사퇴 B가 형성되었으며, 해수면이 상승하면서 세립질 퇴적물이 사퇴의 골짜기에 퇴적되어, 수로와 유사한 형태 또는 수평층리된 형태의 수 로충진구조를 나타내는 것으로 해석된다.

Biomass and community composition of microphytobenthos in the Saemankeum tidal flat were studied by HPLC analysis of the photosynthetic pigments from November 2001 to November 2002. The environmental factors of sediment were also investigated to examine the relationship between microphytobenthos biomass and sedimentary environments. The detected photosynthetic pigments of microphytobenthos were chlorophyll a, b, c, fucoxanthin, 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin, violaxanthin, diadinoxanthin, alloxanthin, diatoxanthin, zeaxanthin+lutein, peridinin and beta-carotene. Pheophytin a, the degradation product of chlorophyll a, was also detected. The results of pigmen analysis suggest the presence of diatom (fucoxanthin), euglenophytes (chlorophyll b), chlorophytes (chlorophyll b + lutein), cyanobacteria (zeaxanthin), cryptophytes (alloxanthin), chrysophytes (fucoxanthin + violaxanthin), prymnesiophytes (19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin) and dinoflagellates (peridinin). Chlorophyll a concentration in the top 0.5 cm of sediment was in the range of $0.24\;mg{\cdot}m\^{-2}\;-32.11\;mg{\cdot}m\^{-2}$ in the study area. The increase of chlorophyll a concentration in the spring indicates the occurrence of a microphytobenthic bloom. In the summer, there was a sharp decrease of the chlorophyll a concentration which was probably due to high grazing activity by macrobenthos. The annual mean chlorophyll a concentration in the study area was low compared to that in most of other tidal flat areas probably due to active resuspension of microphytobenthos and high grazing activity by macrobenthos. There was no clear relationship between microphytobenthos biomass and sedimentary environments because of a large variety of physical, chemical and biological factors, Pigment analysis indicated that while diatoms were dominated in the microphytobenthic community of the Geojon tidal flat, euglenophytes and/or chlorophytes coexisted with diatoms in the Mangyung River tidal flat.

Dominant species of macrobenthos were analyzed based on differentiation of three distinct methods: the density based method, the biomass based method and LeBris method, by considering the frequency of occurrence using quantitative data collected over 5 years (1993-1998) at 21 stations in Chonsu Bay. Sedimentary environments as well as species composition and diversity showed the spatial and temporal distribution patterns. The ranks of dominant species as determined by the density based method were more similar to the results by the LeBris method than to those from the biomass based method. Considering the temporal variation, LeBris method were more efficient than any other methods for the determination of dominant species in Chonsu Bay. Lumbrineris longifolia, Theora fragilis, and Moerella jedoensis were recognized by all three methods. A one-way analysis of variance indicated spatial distributions patterns among most of the dominant species. These species showed positive correlations to sedimentary parameters such as mean grain size. However, T. fragilis and Paraprinospio pinnata showed the temporal patterns in their distribution, and were also correlated to the benthic environment, organic content and dissolved oxygen. Some dominant species, e.g., T. fragilis, S. scutata, G. gurjanovae proved to be useful benthic indicators based on the environmental variations determinated by long-term benthic ecological monitoring in Chonsu Bay.

This study was carried out to investigate benthic sedimentary environments and benthic polychaetous communities on the coast of Ulsan, located on the southern East Sea of Korea. This survey was conducted at 15 stations, four times seasonally in January, April, July and October 2016. From the coast to the outer sea, surface sediments turned into fine grained sediments. There were complex coarse-grained sedimentary facies in various forms in the coastal zones while those with mud facies were found in the offshore zone. Organic matter content (LOI) and sulfide amount (AVS) recorded extremely high values, and increased from the coast to the outer sea, showing a similar trend to mud content with depth. The benthic polychaetous community revealed a mean density of $525ind./m^2$, and the total species number of species was 84. The major dominant polychaetous species were Magelona japonica, Lumbrineris longifolia and Heteromastus filiformis throughout the four seasons. Magelona japonica was concentrated predominantly in shallow coastal areas, but was present in all the regions of the survey area. Lumbrineris longifolia showed higher density in offshore regions more than 30 m deep, whereas H. filiformis showed higher density in coastal areas less than 30 m in depth. As a result of cluster analysis, the study area was divided into three ecological areas according to species composition, such as the northern coastal area between Ulsan PortOnsan Port, the southern area around Hoeya River and the outer sea area. Benthic environments in the study area, as determined by AMBI and BPI index, maintained a healthy condition in all four seasons with the AMBI at a level above GOOD and BPI at a level above FAIR. As organic matter accumulation continues to take place in the Ulsan coastal area, it is essential that detailed research activities continue to be carried out and ongoing monitoring be maintained.

부산 수영만의 퇴적환경을 파악하기 위해 고해상도 탄성파 자료(chirp and sparker system)를 활용한 해석을 실시하였다. 연구해역의 퇴적단위는 음향기반을 피복하는 세 개의 퇴적단위(SU1a, SU1b, SU2)로 구성되며 각각의 퇴적단위는 침식 부정합면에 의해 구분된다. 최하부의 SU1a는 음향학적으로 평행하고 연속적인 내부 반사면의 특징을 가지며, 상부의 SU1b는 불규칙한 내부 반사면을 보인다. 최상부 퇴적단위인 SU2는 탄성파 단면상에서 투명 음향상 특징을 가진다. 음향기반 상부경계면은 침식 부정합면의 특징을 보이며 동쪽으로 향하면서 깊어지는데, 이는 인접한 수영강의 영향에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 이 침식면 상부에 퇴적된 SU1a와 SU1b는 저지대를 충진하는 형태로 분포한다. SU2는 연구해역 전반에 걸쳐 광역적으로 나타난다. 본 연구에 활용된 고해상도 탄성파 자료는 수영만의 퇴적환경 및 역사에 대한 중요한 정보를 제공하였으며, 그 결과 해수면 변동, 염하구 환경 및 인접 하천에서의 육상기원 퇴적물 유입 등이 연구해역의 주요 퇴적기작에 해당하는 것으로 해석된다.

Lomilik Seamount in the west Pacific was seismically surveyed and photographed to illuminate the bottom topography, the condition of manganese crust, and the characteristics of sedimentary environment. Lomilik Seamount has a NW-SE elongated bottom topography with steep slopes in the NESW direction part. Even though the steep slopes of the seamount are devoid of deposits, the summit area and gentle slope of the seamount are covered with thick deposits. The seismic data indicate that Lomilik Seamount is a flat-topped and step-faulted guyot of volcanic origin. Deep-sea camera photographs show that much of the seafloor is rippled in symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns. The traces of biological activity were distinct on gentle seafloor suggesting the low-energy bottom conditions. Some photographs also show outcrops encrusted with manganese crusts. Sedimentary environments in the Lomilik Seamount appear have been governed by regional morphology and strong bottom current.

In the mid-eastern part of the Yellow Sea, large-scale shelf ridges originated from erosion on sand-mud successions that have been presently eroded by strong tidal currents. A three-layered in situ geoacoustic model is provided down to 50 m for the subbottom sedimentary succession of a 45 m water depth using the Hamilton method. The succession is divisible into two-type units of Type-A and Type-B using high-resolution seismic profiles with a deep-drilled YSDP-104 core of 44.0 m in depth below the seafloor. Type-A unit mainly comprises sandy or gravelly sediments, whereas Type-B unit mostly consists of tidal muddy sediments with some thinner sand beds. P-wave speed values are positively compatible with the mean grain size and sediment type of the core sediments. For actual modeling, the geoacoustic property values of the models were compensated to in situ depth values below the seafloor. The detailed geoacoustic model contributes to simulating sound transmission through the sedimentary successions in erosional shelf ridges of variable geoacoustic properties distributed in shallow-water environments of the mid-eastern Yellow Sea.

The Saemangeum tidal flat with an area of approxirnately $233km^2$ is one of the biggest estuarine tidal flats on the west coast of Korea. Because of its location in the estuary of Mangyeong and Dongjin Rivers, the tidal flat receives large amount of sediments. A 33-km long sea dyke, enclosing a coastal zone of $401km^2$, was constructed to reclaim tidal flat in the Saemangeum area. The dyke construction radically changes the local tidal current regime and estuarine circulation. These have an effect on sedimentary environments in the tidal flat. On the tidal flats of the study area net deposition occurred, but net erosion occurred near tidal channel in 2004. The comparison of topography and surface sediments in summer 2004 with those in summer 1988 before the dyke construction showed that elevation increased with maximum 80cm and mean grain sizes were fining at Gwanghwal tidal flats. Sedimentary facies of two cores from Gwanghwal tidal flat revealed homogeneous layers in the upper part suggesting rapid deposition after the dyke construction. The sedimentation rate in Gwanghwal tidal flat(GW 6) using $^{210}Pb$ analysis was about 5.4cm/yr which is well matched with the sedimentation pattern revealed by change in topography.

울릉분지 남서부 해역에서 두 개의 코어(00GHP-01, 00GHP-07)를 시추하였다. 채취된 코어의 제4기 후기 퇴적환경 변화 및 지화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 유기탄소의 함량은 일반적인 개방형 해양보다 높게(평균 1.8%) 측정되었다. 기존의 보고된 테프라층 연대를 이용한 지층의 층서에 따르면 울릉분지는 높은 퇴적률(12.1-14.9 cm/kyr)을 보이는 환경이었을 것으로 추정된다. 질소와 유기탄소의 비(평균 6.18-7.42)는 퇴적되어진 유기물이 주로 해양성 유기물에서 비롯된 것으로 보인다. 퇴적률과 황의 함량을 각각 유기탄소의 함량과 비교하여 도시해 본 결과, 산소가 결핍되고 다소 생산성이 높은 환경이었을 것으로 생각된다. 연구지역은 Termination I 동안에 유기물의 유입이 많았으며, 유입된 유기물들이 축척되기 용이한 높은 퇴적률을 갖는 산소가 결핍된 환경이었던 것으로 생각된다.
