The thermo-haline front frequently observed near the southwestern tip of Korean Peninsula is successfully modeled using a simple model. The front is formed by the wind-driven advection of local cooled water to the southern warm area which is kept warm by large heat advection of the Tsushima Current. The front thus locates north of the Tsushima Current which runs approximately along the isobaths in the east-west direction.

The oyster shell bed (more than 47 cm thick) atop the Gaipri Point (granite coastal bluff) in the Hampyung Bay, southwest coast of Korea which is a coastal area of southeastern margin of the Yellow Sea basin has been interpreted as unique typhoon deposit formed at about 3610 yr BP or later. The unconformable boundary between the oyster shell bed by typhoon and the granitic soil horizon of the Gaipri Point is 820 cm high above the mean high-tide water level (MHWL). The $^{14}C$ age of the oyster shells is 3610${\pm}$70 yr BP.

조밀하게 채취된 한욱 근해 대륙붕 상의 표층퇴적물의 입도 자료 1.044 개를 재해 석하였다. 이들 표층퇴적물의 입도곡선은 31%가 단일 모르를, 54%가 두 개의 모드를 보이며 나머지는 세 개 이상의 모르를 가진다. 단일모드 퇴적물과 북모드 퇴적물의 각 구성모드의 입도곡선은 대체로 정규분포와 세립질화 한다. 군산 앞바다 및 남해 외대 륙붕의 단일모드 모래지역의 지리적 분포는 중금속 및 부유퇴적물 농도의 최저값지역 과 거의 합치한다. 이상의 사실들에서 퇴적물의 세립질 모드의 입도분포가 현세의 운 반 퇴적과정을 잘 반영한다는 것을 알게되었다. 동시에 모드분석수법이 퇴적물의 입도 자료를 해석하는데 유용한 방법임을 알게되었다.

A significant surface net heat loss appears around the Kuroshio and the Tsushima Warm Current regions. The area where the surface heat loss occurs should require heat to be supplied by the current to maintain the long-term annual heat balance. Oceanic heat advection in these regions plays an important role in the heat budget. The spatial distribution of the heat supply by the Tsushima Warm Current near the surface was examined by calculating the horizontal heat supply in the surface layer of the East/Japan Sea, directly from historical sea surface temperature and current data. We have also found a simple estimation of the effective vertical scale of heat supply by the current to compensate net heat loss using the heat supplied by the current in the surface 10m layer. The heat supplied by the current for the annual heat balance was large in the Korea/Tsushima Strait and along the Japanese Coast, and was small in the northwestern part of the East/Japan Sea. The amount of heat supplied by the current was large in the northwestern part and small in the southeastern part of the East/Japan Sea. These features suggest that the heat supplied by the Tsushima Warm Current is restricted to near the surface around the northeastern part and extends to a deeper layer around the southeastern part of the East/Japan Sea.

To reconstruct the paleo-temperature quantitatively and to overcome limitation of traditional qualitative pollen analysis, this study was performed pollen analysis using the modern surface soil at Yulha-dong, Gimhae-si of southeastern part of Korean peninsula. Canonical Correspondence Analysis(CCA) was done to identify the most important environment variable about composition of modern surface pollen sample. Also, Weighted Average-Partial Least Square(WA-PLS) was analyzed to obtain modern surface pollen-temperature transfer function. The transfer function was applied to the results of qualitative fossil pollen analysis at Yulha-dong, Gimhae-si, Sampyung-ri, Ulsan-si and Taewha-dong, Ulsan-si. Therefore, the paleo-temperature was reconstructed during the Holocene since 6,200 yr BP. According to the results of the research, it is $1{\sim}2^{\circ}C$ lower than the current average annual temperature at the study area in 6,200 yr BP, since then it increased to the same level to the current temperature and decreased again until 2,600 yr BP. From the 2,600 yr BP, the temperature was fluctuated to the present.

3종의 외국산 따개비가 한국의 조간대 해역에 침입한 것이 발견되었는데 이들은 Balanus amphitrite, B. eburneus 및 B. improvisus이다. 한국내에서 이 3종이 모두 발견되고 개체군이 가장 발달된 곳은 동남부 해역, 즉 부산 부근이다. B. amphitrite는 1970년도 초에 가장 먼저 한국에 침입한 것으로 추측되며 가장 널리 분포해 있으나 목포 이북의 서해에는 아직 침입해 있지 않은 상태이다. B. improvisus는 동해의 복쪽까지 확산해 있으나 B. eburneus는 동남부 해역에 국한되어 있다. B. amphitrite는 재래종인 B. albicostatus와 경쟁을 하고 있는데 이 두 종이 혼생하고 있는 여러 지역에서 후자의 재래종이 배타되고 있는 실정이다. 서해는 아직 외래 따개비의 침입을 받고 있지 않은데 그 이유는 현재 모르고 있다.

본 조사해역 퇴적물의 퇴적양상은 서측의 세립질 퇴적물과 남부의 조립질 퇴적물, 그리고 이 지역외에 세립질과 조립진 퇴적물이 혼합된 지역인 세부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 퇴적물의 분포상태는 서측이 주로 mud이고 남동측은 sandy mud와 muddy sand로 이루어져 있는 반면 최남부에는 사립질의 sand가 분포하는데, 이는 대체로 조류와 해류의 유속 및 유향과 지형적인 특성에 많은 영향을 받는것으로 보인다. 삼천포와 육지도 주변의 왜도가 negative skewness인 것은 강한 조류의 영향 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 욕지도 안쪽과 섬진강하구 퇴적물을 C-M diagram에 plot해 본 결과 섬진강하구와 육지도 동쪽을 제외하고는 대부분 pelagic suspension의 형태로 운반 되었으나, 창선도와 삼천포 사이의 수로에서는 예외적인 현상이 나타나는데 이는 강한 조류때문에 나타나는 winnowing효과 때문으로 생각된다. 조직 표준치의 상관계수가 $0.76\~0.92$ 로서 매우 양호한 음의 상관관계를 가진다.

Sedimentation and depositional pattern of the fine-grained sediments in the southeastern inner shelf of Korea were studied using a very high-resolution seismic profiles and sediment data. The recent mud deposits up to 45 m thick are distributed in the inner shelf forming a nearshore belt from the eastern part of Geoje Island to off the Pohang along the coast. The sediment in this area consists of homogeneous mud with mean grain size between $8.6\;to\;5.3\phi$ and does not show any distinct variability It gradually becomes finer and well sorted northeastward along the coast. Sediments normally appear as structureless massive mud but X-radiographs show that some bioturbation and faint lamination are present. The sediments accumulate at a rate of 0.18-0.44 cm/yr and the rate coincides well with the long-term (a 1000-year scale) accumulation based on very high-resolution seismic data. Distribution of wet bulk density and velocity shows a gradual increase from the southeastern part of Ulsan to off Pohang, whereas porosity shows a reverse pattern. Correlations between velocity and porosity/mean grain size are different from other regions compared, due to the difference of sediment texture and sedimentary environment. The recent shelf deposits are seismically characterized by three distinct facies: 1) well-stratified (near the river mouth), 2) semi-transparent (eastern part of Geoje Island), and 3) transparent (off Ulsan). The results suggest that fine-grained sediment derived from rivers, forming a nearshore mud belt, have been transported northeastward by the northeastward-flowing coastal current.

황해 남동해역에서 채취한 97개 표층퇴적물을 대상으로 그 지화학적 특성을 규명 하기 위하여 철, 망간, 니켈, 구리 및 납의 5가지 금속원소 함량과 아울러 퇴적물의 입도와 탄산염 함량 등이 분석되었다. 분석된 금속원소 중 니켈과 구리는 퇴적물 입도 와 밀접한 상관관계를 나타내어 그 공간적 분포는 입도분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 이 와는 대조적으로 망간과 납의 경우는 입도와의 관련성이 미약하였으며, 전반적으로 한 국 연안에 인접한 시료에서 높은 함량이 나타났다. 한편, R-mode 요인분석 결과도 니 겔과 구리의 함량을 조절하는 요인이 망간이나 납의 함량을 조절하는 요인들과 구별됨 을 보여주었으며, 금속원소의 행동과 분포에 있어 이렇게 상반된 결과가 나타나는 현 상은 퇴적후 속성작용 및 환경오염물질 유입의 영향에 기인한 것으로 해석되었다. 이 에 근거하여 이들 금속원소들의 비가 서로 다른 기원의 세립물질들을 구분하는 특징으 로 이용될 수 있는 가능성이 제시되었다.

Gyeongsang Basin in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsular is characterized by many fault systems. To decipher the geotectonical evolution of the Korean peninsular and marginal basins in her adjacent areas it is prerequisite to understand the spatial distribution pattern and mutual relationships of these fault systems. Because of difficulties in finding any criterion to recognize the faults in field, their extension and mutual relationships in ages are not very clear yet. As an attempt to find geophysical criteria to recognize the fault, geoelectrical resistivity survey was carried out in this study. With the Wenner configuration four resistivity soundings and twenty seven resistivity profilings were done. The electrode distance used was up to 50m. From the results of the resistivity soundings and boring data of earlier groundwater investigations the depth of alluvial and weathered zone was established to be at most 20m in the study area. In the resistivity profiling low resistivity anomaly zones are detected on every traverse, which are interpreted as caused by fractures, fault clays and mylonites in the fault zone. The width of the fault zone amounts to 0.3-1km. By correlating and connecting the negative anomaly zones from traverse to traverse one can determine the trend of th of the faultzone and therefore that of fault itself. The recognized fault trend in this way was $N15^{\circ}-20^{\circ}E$ and this coincides with the direction of the inferred fault line from earlier geological surface mapping. With the help of this characteristical negative anomaly the existance of another $N80^{\circ}W$ trending fault was estabished. This study has shown that geoelectrical resistivity survey can be applied successfully to the problem of tracing fault line insofar as a fault zone has been developed along fault line.
