Most seismic sea waves in the East Sea originate from earthquakes occurring near the Japanese west coast. While the waves propagate in the East Sea, they are deformed by refraction, diffraction and scattering. Though the Boussinesq equation is most applicable for such wave phenomena, it was not used in numerical modelling of seismic sea waves in the East Sea. To examine characteristics of seismic sea waves in the East Sea, numerical models based on the Boussinesq equation are established and used to simulate recent tsunamis. By considering Ursell parameter and Kajiura parameter, it is proved that Boussinesq equation is a proper equation for seismic sea waves in the East Sea. Two models based on the Boussinesq equation and linear wave equation are executed with the same initial conditions and grid size ($1min{\times}1min$), and the results are compared in various respects. The Boussinesq equation model produced better results than the linear model in respect to wave propagation and concentration of wave energy. It is also certified that the Boussinesq equation model can be used for operational purpose if it is optimized. Another Boussinesq equation model whose grid size is $40sec{\times}30sec$ is set up to simulate the 1983 and 1993 tsunamis. As the result of simulation, new propagation charts of 2 seismic sea waves focused on the Korean east coast are proposed. Even though the 1983 and 1993 tsunamis started at different areas, the propagation paths near the Korean east coast are similar and they can be distinguished into 4 paths. Among these, total energy and propagating time of the waves passing over North Korea Plateau(NKP) and South Korea Plateau(SKP) determine wave height at the Korean east coast. In case of the 1993 tsunami, the wave passing over NKP has more energy than the wave over SKP. In case of the 1983 tsunami, the huge energy of the wave passing over SKP brought about great maximum wave heights at Mukho and Imwon. The Boussinesq equation model established in this study is more useful for simulation of seismic sea waves near the Korean east coast than it is the Japanese coast. To improve understanding of seismic sea waves in shallow water, a coastal area model based on the Boussinesq equation is also required.

Gas hydrate is ice-like crystalline lattice, formed at appropriate temperature and pressure, in which gas molecules are trapped. It is worldwide popular interesting subject as a potential energy. In korea, a seismic survey for gas hydrate have performed over the East sea by the KIGAM since 1997. In this paper, we had conducted numerical and physical modeling experiments for seismic properties on gas hydrate with field data which had been acquired over the East sea in 1998. We used a finite difference seismic method with staggered grid for 2-D elastic wave equation to generate synthetic seismograms from multi-channel surface seismic survey, OBC(Ocean Bottom Cable) and VSP(Vertical Seismic Profiling). We developed the seismic physical modeling system which is simulated in the deep sea conditions and acquired the physical model data to the various source-receiver geometry. We carried out seismic complex analysis with the obtained data. In numerical and physical modeling data, we observed the phase reversal phenomenon of reflection wave at interface between the gas hydrate and free gas. In seismic physical modeling, seismic properties of the modeling material agree with the seismic velocity estimated from the travel time of reflection events. We could easily find out AVO(Amplitude Versus Offset) in the reflection strength profile through seismic complex analysis.

The Yellow Sea experienced glacio-eustasy sea-level fluctuations during the Quaternary period. In the middle part of the Yellow Sea, the Quaternary successions were accumulated by alternating terrestrial, paralic, and shallow marine deposits that reflected the fluctuating sea levels. A long core of 69.2 m was acquired at the YMGR-102 site (33°50.1782'N and 123°48.3019'E) at a depth of 72.5 m in the middle of the Yellow Sea. A four-layered geoacoustic model was reconstructed for the sedimentary succession. It was based on seismic characteristics from 3.5 kHz SBP and air-gun seismic profiles and 96 grain-size properties in the core sample from YMGR-102. For the underwater simulation and experiments, the in-situ P-wave speeds were calculated using the sound speed ratio of the Hamilton method. The geoacoustic model of YMGR-102 can contribute to the reconstruction of geoacoustic models, reflecting the vertical and lateral variability of the acoustic properties in the continental shelf of the middle Yellow Sea.

동해 남동해역에서 2008년 취득된 탄성파 탐사자료에 포함된 다중반사파를 억제하기 위한 전산처리를 수행하였다. 다중반사파는 수심이 얕은 지역의 해저면 하부 1,750 ms까지 250 ms 간격으로 발달하였으며 해저면 다중반사파, 페그레그(Peg-leg) 다중반사파 및 자유해수면 다중반사파로 구분하였다. 다중반사파를 제거하기 위하여 속도분석을 통한 중합, 최소지연 예측 디콘볼루션 필터와 파동방정식을 이용한 다중반사파 제거모듈(Wave Equation Multiple Rejection, WEMR)을 이용하였다. 주요한 다중반사파들은 예측 디콘볼루션을 통하여 제거되었으며 잔존하는 다중반사파의 제거에 WEMR이 유용하였다. 남동해역 탄성파 자료의 특성에 적합한 전산처리 방법을 조합하였고 이에 필요한 매개변수를 정리하여 향후 인근지역의 전산처리 과정에서 응용할 수 있는 결과를 얻었다.

The seismic failure-prone region in Istanbul has been examined in terms of the segmented pipelines. Although some researchers have suggested that this territory should be left as a green land, many people continue to live in this area. This region is about 9-10 km away from the North Anatolian Fault Line. This fault zone is an active right-lateral strike-slip fault line in Turkey and an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0-7.5 is expected in the Marmara Sea. Therefore, superstructures and infrastructures are under both land sliding risks and seismic risks in this area. Because there are not any pipeline-fault line intersection points in the region, in this study, it has been focused on the behaviors of the segmented (sewage or stormwater) pipelines subject to earthquake-induced permanent ground deformation and seismic wave propagation. Based on the elastic beam theory some necessary analyses have been carried out and obtained results of this approximation have been examined.

The Korea Strait comprises a continental shelf in a shallow sea that experienced glacio-eustastic sea-level changes during the Quaternary period. A long core of 76.6 m in length was acquired at the South Sea Drilling Project site (SSDP-101; 34°19.666'E and 128°16.335'N) with a 60 m water deep. The uppermost massive sand beds were interpreted as sandy sediments of the nearshore marine sand ridge in the shallow sea during the transgression of sea level, whereas the lower parts of alternating sandy and muddy beds were interpreted as deposits in marsh, estuary, and tidal flat environments. A three-layered geoacoustic model was reconstructed for the sedimentary succession in the high-resolution seismic profile based on a 140-grain size and sediment type of core SSDP-101. For the actual underwater simulation and experiments, the in-situ P-wave speeds were calculated using the sound speed ratio of the Hamilton method.

고품질의 고해상 해저 탄성파 탐사자료를 얻기 위해서는 해상의 파도가 매우 낮은 환경에서 탐사가 이루어져야 하지만, 약간의 파도가 있는 상태에서 탐사를 수행하는 경우가 많으며 이로 인하여 자료의 품질이 저하된다. 이러한 경우에는 자료처리 과정에서 해저면 신호의 정확한 위치를 파악하여 자동적으로 파도 또는 너울의 영향을 제거함으로써 탄성파 자료의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그러나 파도의 영향으로 인하여 잡음이 포함되거나 해저면 신호가 약해진 자료에서는 해저면 위치 선정에 오류가 발생하기 쉽다. 이 연구에서는 해저면의 위치를 예상하여 좁은 선정 범위를 설정한 후 이 범위 내에서 해저면의 위치를 선정함으로써 이와 같은 오류를 감소시키는 방법을 사용하였다. 해저면 예상 위치는 다중채널 자료에서 각 채널별로 이전에 선정한 해저면의 위치들을 이용하여 산출하였다. 또한 채널별로 산출한 해저면 예상 위치를 샷모음 내에서 다른 해저면 예상 위치와 비교하여 검증하였다. 이와 같은 방법을 잡음이 포함된 여수근해 8채널 고해상 에어건 탐사자료에 적용한 결과, 해저면 신호 이전의 잡음이나 이후의 강한 반사 신호를 선정하는 오류가 현저하게 감소되었으며, 약 2.5 m의 너울영향을 보정한 고품질의 탄성파 단면도를 제작할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sea floor using a seismic profiler in the northern part of Chagwi-do of Jeju Island in order to select the optimal location for the 60-m-class berth of a sea test bed for wave energy converters and provide basic environmental data for designing a suction anchor. The echo types of the seismic profiles were classified based on the study of Kim et al. (2016a), and the location for installing the suction anchor was selected based on a sediment thickness of more than 10 m. The physical properties of the surface sediments were determined by analyzing the sediment samples obtained from 16 grab sample points. Based on the investigation and analysis, we proposed a survey area in the North-Eastern sea as an optimum location for the 60-m-class berth where the suction anchor could be installed.

해양 탄성파 탐사를 통해 취득한 자료에는 지하 매질에서 반사되어 오는 신호뿐만 아니라 해수면에서 되반사되어 발생하는 고스트가 존재한다. 고스트는 특정 주파수 성분을 약화시켜 탄성파 자료의 시간 해상도를 저하시킨다. 고스트를 효과적으로 제거하기 위해서는 정확한 고스트의 지연시간과 해수면의 반사계수가 요구된다. 고스트 지연시간은 해수면의 상하 움직임, 에어건과 스트리머의 움직임 및 벌림(offset) 거리 등에 의해 변하며, 해수면의 반사계수도 주파수, 평면파의 입사각 그리고 해상 상태에 따라 변한다. 이러한 영향을 고려한 고스트 지연시간을 추정하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 고스트 제거 트레이스 및 이의 자기상관 자료의 L-1 norm, L-2 norm 그리고 첨도(kurtosis)를 비교하였다. 자기상관자료의 L-1 norm을 계산하여 고스트 지연시간을 추정하는 것이 오차가 가장 적게 발생하였다. 현장자료의 파고를 고려하고 키르히호프 근사식을 이용하여 해수면의 반사계수를 계산하여 음원 및 수신기 고스트 제거에 적용하였다. 고스트를 제거함으로써 약화된 주파수 성분을 복원하였으며 시간 해상도가 향상된 구조보정 단면을 얻었다.
