The geotectonics and geomorphic structure of Korea resulted from the Song-rim Disturbance and the Daebo orogenic movements. Afterward this mountainous peninsula underwent several geological changes on a small scale, and it was also claimed that the steady rising of the elevated peneplain of the eastern coast and the submerging of the southwestern coastal area are largely due to the tilted block movement. These views have been generally accepted good in several ways, but they are limited in range or lacking in theoretical integration. The present writer investigated the geology of the Mt. Chi-ri-san and the Honam coal mining area for a geological map in 1965, respectively. The results of these studies convinced the present writer that the conventional views, which were based upon a theory of lateral pressure should be reconsidered in many respects, and more recent studies made it clear that the morphological development in the southwestern area can be better explained by the orogenic movement and rock control. The measurement of submerging speed of the western coastal area (Pak. Y. A., 1969) and a new account on the geology and tectonics of the Mid-central region of South Korea (Kim O.J., 1970) act as an encouragement to a new explanation. The present writer's researches on the extreme southwestern portion of the peninsula show that the steady submerging of this area cannot be attributed to a simple downthrown block phenomenon caused by block movement. It is no more than the result of the differential movement of uplifting in the eastern and western coastal areas and the rising of sea-level in the post-glacial period. This phenomenon could be easily explained by the comparison of the rate of rise in sea-level and amount of heat flow between Korea and other areas in the world. The existance of the erosional planes in the Sobaik-San ranges also provide an evidence of an upheaval in the western coast area. Though the Sobaik-San ranges largely follow the direction of the Sinian system. They consist of the numerous branches, whose trends run more or less differently from their main trend because of the disharmonic folding, are converged into Mt. Sobaik-San and Chupungryung. The undulation of the land is not wholely caused by orogenic movements, where as the present writer confirmed that the diversity of morphological development is the direct reflection of geological conditions such as rocks and processes which constitute the basic elements of geomorphic structure. An east-west directed mountain range which could be named as Hansan mountain range, was claimed to be oriented by the joint control. The geological conditions such as a special erosion and weathering of agglomerate and breccia tuff usually produce pot-hole like submarine features which cause the whirling phenomenon at the southwestern coast channel.

제주 남서 이질대에서 채취된 138개의 해양표층퇴적물 시료와 황하와 양쯔강 하천퇴적물 시료에 대하여 반정량 X선회절분석법에 의한 점토광물 상대조성을 바탕으로 주성분분석을 이용하여 퇴적물의 기원지를 연구하였다. 제1주성분과 제2주성분이 전체 자료의 90% 이상을 설명하기 때문에 두 주성분만을 가지고 R프로그램을 이용하여 주성분분석을 실시하였다. 제주 남서 이질대 내 각각의 점토광물의 분포양상은 매우 복잡하지만, 전체적인 분포양상을 고려할 때, 스멕타이트와 카올리나이트는 서부지역에서 높은 함량을 보였고 일라이트와 녹니석은 동부지역에서 상대적으로 높은 값을 나타냈다. 제주 남서 이질대의 동부지역에서 보여주는 상대적으로 높은 일라이트와 녹니석 함량은 양쯔강 퇴적물과, 서부지역에서의 높은 스멕타이트와 카올리나이트 함량은 황하 퇴적물과 더 유사한 양상을 나타낸다. 이러한 통계 처리 결과를 바탕으로 제주 남서 이질대의 동부지역은 양쯔강에서 유래하였고 서부지역은 황하로부터 기원했음을 추정할 수 있다. 추후 퇴적물 기원지 연구에 주성분분석이 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

오키나와 트러프에서 발생되는 잠재 지진해일의 한반도 남서외해에서의 전파특성을 규명하기 위한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 동중국해 대륙붕의 얕은 수심과 오키나와 트러프의 깊은 수심은 이 지역에서 발생하는 지진해일의 전파특성에 중요한 역할을 한다. 전파특성은 전파 단계에 따라 두 가지로 분류된다. 첫 단계는 수심이 깊은 트러프를 따라서 북동과 남서방향으로 전파해가는 과정이고, 두 번째 단계는 등수심선과 직각방향으로 동중 국해의 대륙붕으로 진입하는 과정이다. 수치모의 결과 오키나와 트러프에서 발생하는 지진해일파는 남서외해의 특수한 해저지형의 영향으로 우리나라 남해안과 서해안에 미치는 영향이 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Thorpe scale analysis was performed using two sets of 25-hour-long hourly CTD data. Raw density profiles collected on the continental slope of the southwestern East Sea were post-processed to reduce instrument noises and measurement errors. Density inversions were detected by applying the overturn ratio test proposed by Gargett and Garner (2008). The value of $K_z$ below the main thermocline estimated with the Osborn parameterization was $5.3{\times}10^{-4}(1.1{\times}10^{-4})m^2s^{-1}$ and that with the Shih parameterization was $5.9{\times}10^{-5}(2.4{\times}10^{-5})m^2s^{-1}$during the spring (neap) tidal period. This result suggests that internal tides can enhance vertical mixing in the observation region.

This study summarizes the use of satellite data to detect the change of southwestern coastal wetlands in Korea. The images used for this study were two Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM) images (June 12, 1984 & June 2, 1992). TM images were used to classify such different types of wetlands as aquatic bed, nonaquatic bed and other land use in the region. Then it, was possible to a) determine the status of wetlands using image classification products, and b) detect the changes of various types of wetlands influenced by both human and nature. The results from spatiotemporal analysis showed that approximately 120 lad of coastal wetlands were lost from the year of 1984 to 1992. 71 % of the lost wetlands were converted to the reclaimed land. This loss of wetlands has been causing the profound environmental impacts. It has been successfully proved that satellite data are very effective for spatiatemporal change analysis, especially for that of coastal wetlands.

Prunus glandulosa Thunb. [=Cerasus glandulosa (Thunb.) Sokolov] (Rosaceae) is native to the warmtemperate region of China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Zhejiang Provinces). It is naturalized in the United States (i.e. Alabama, Michigan and North Carolina) and Canada (Ontario). This species, previously only recorded as introduced or cultivated plants on the Korean Peninsula, was confirmed to be naturally distributed in the southwestern coast islands(i.e. Geomun-do, Chuja-do and an uninhabited island in Shinan-gun of Jeollanam-do). Prunus glandulosa Thunb. is distinguished from a related taxon P. japonica var. nakaii (H. Lév.) Rehder by pedicel 8-12 (-16) mm long, linear stipules, glabrous style, and pink petals. The morphological characters and illustration of P. glandulosa Thunb. are provided with line drawings and photographs from the natural habitat. In addition, it is likely that a new habitat will be found by plant biodiversity investigations through the southwestern coast islands. Further research is needed to determine its population size, distribution, and threats, as well as identify appropriate locations for conservation collection of germplasm.

Seasonal volume transport on the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf is investigated in terms of objectively fitted transport streamfunction fields based on the current meter data of the Texas­Louisiana Shelf Circulation and Transport Processes Study. Adopted here for the objective mapping is a method employing a two-dimensional truncated Fourier representation of the streamfunction over a domain, with the amplitudes determined by least square fit of the observation. The fitting was done with depth-averaged flow rather than depth-integrated flow to reduce the root-mean-square error. The fitting process filters out $11\%$ of the kinetic energy in the monthly mean transport fields. The shelf-wide pattern of streamfunction fields is similar to that of near-surface velocity fields over the region. The nearshore transport, about 0.1 to 0.3 Sv $(1 Sv= 10^6\;m^3/sec)$, is well correlated with the seasonal signal of along-shelf wind stress. The spring transport is weak compared to other seasons in the inner shelf region. The transport along the shelf break is large and variable. In the southwestern shelf break, transport amounts up to 4.7 Sv, which is associated with the activities of the encroaching of energetic anticyclonic eddies originated in Loop Current of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) of streamfunction variability contains $67.3\%$ of the variance and shows a simple, shelf-wide, along-shelf pattern of transport. The amplitude evolution of the first EOF is highly correlated (correlation coefficient: 0.88) with the evolution of the along-shelf wind stress. This provides strong evidence that the large portion of seasonal variation of the shelf transport is wind-forced. The second EOF contains $23.7\%$ of the variance and shows eddy activities at the southwestern shelf break. The correlation coefficient between the amplitudes of the second EOF and wind stress is 0.42. We assume that this mode is coupled a periodic inner shelf process with a non-periodic eddy process on the shelf break. The third EOF (accounting for $7.2\% of the variance) shows several cell structures near the shelf break associated with the variability of the Loop Current Eddies. The amplitude time series of the third EOF show little correlation with the along-shelf wind.

The central region of South Korea is composed of Precambrian formations and Jurassic Daebo granites and is divided tectonically into three provinces, that is, the Ok chon geosynclinal zone in the middle, the Kyonggi massif on the north and northwest side, and the Ryongnam massif on the south and southeast side. The general trend of the Okchon geosynclinal zone and the distribution of Daebo granites is northeast, the Sinian direction. The Kyonggi massif is composed of Precambrian Y onchon system, Sangwon system, gneisses, and Daebo granites, and the Ryongnam massif also Precambrian Ryongnam and Yulri systems, gneisses, and Daebo granites. Precambrian formations in both areas are of flysch type sediments and may be roughly correlated with each other. These formations except Sangwon and Yulri systems are thought to be early to middle Precambrian age and have acted as basement for the Okchon geosyncline where late Precambrian Okchon system was deposited. The Okchon geosynclinal zone is divided into paleogeosynclinal zone to southwestern parts where the Okchon system is distributed, and neogeosynclinal zone to northeastern parts where nonmetamorphosed Paleozoic sediments are dominantly cropped out. Both zones are separated by upthrust created by Daebo orogeny of Jurassic period, which continues southwesterly to bind the Okchon geosynclinal zone and the Ryongnam massif at southwestern parts bisecting Korea peninsula diagonally. Three periods of structural development are recognized in the area. Folds and faults of preTriassic age prevail in the Kyonggi massif. Many isoclinal folds and thrusts originated by Jurassic Daebo orogeny are aligned in the Okchon paleogeosynclinal zone paralleling to the geosynclinal axis so that same formation appears repeatedly in narrow strips, whereas fold axis in neogeosynclinal zone trerid west-northwesterly which might be of Triassic in age and modified by later Daebo orogeny. Discontinuity of geology and structure of Okchon geosynclinal zone is attributed to shifting of the geosyncline through geologic time.
