구조지형은 기반암 단층과 암석의 경연차와 같은 약대를 따라 풍화, 침식의 프로세스의 영향을 받아 만들어진 지형이다. 지구 조지형은 현재 활동하고 있는 지진, 화산, 단층과 같은 지구조운동으로 인해 만들어진 지형이다. 우리나라와 같이 판의 내부에 위치하여 지구조운동의 영향이 상대적으로 적고 기후적 특성을 고려하면 실제 현장에서 이 둘을 명확하게 구분하는 것은 어렵다. 최근 활성단층 연구의 증가에 따라 지구조지형에 초점을 맞추어 연구가 진행되고 있으나 더 명확한 지구조지형을 분류하기 위해서는 기반암의 특성에 따른 구조지형의 발달 양상에 대한 이해가 필요하며 기반암의 특성만을 따로 비교분석하기에는 현재 지형은 지구조운동과 기후의 영향을 동시에 받았기 때문에 구조적 요인만을 대상으로 하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 2차원 수치지형발달모형을 이용하여 기후와 지구조운동에 의한 요인을 제한하고, 기반암의 차이에 따른 지형의 시공간적 발달특성에 대해 연구하였다. 기반암 차이에 따른 지형특성을 구분하기 위해 사면·하천과 관련된 지형분석을 하였다. 연구결과 침식가능성이 높은 지형은 평균고도, 기복량, 경사도, 하천차수, 하천경사도지수 모두 낮게 나왔다. 또한 기반암 하천분석 결과 기반암 경계부분에서 천이점이 나왔다. 실제 지형을 연구할 때 지금까지는 지구조운동으로 인한 것인지, 구조적 요인을 받은 것인지 구분할 때 천이점에 있는 기반암의 차이만 고려하였다. 본 연구는 지구조지형과 구조지형을 분류할 때 구조지형으로 분류하기 위해서는 기반암의 차이뿐만 아니라 다양한 지형인자들을 고려하여 종합적으로 판단하여야 할 것임을 시사한다.

Mineralogical and geochemical studies of shales within the Lower Anambra Basin was conducted to unravel the depositional environment, provenance, maturity, paleo-weathering conditions, and tectonic settings. Mineralogical studies conducted using X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the samples were composed of kaolinite, montmorillonite, chlorite, and illite. KaolinIite is the dominant mineral, constituting approximately 41.5% of the bulk composition, whereas the non-clay minerals are quartz, ilmenite, and sillimanite. Geochemical analysis showed a predominance of SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and Fe₂O₃ contents of the shale samples with mean values of 52.29%, 14.09%, and 6.15% for Imo Shale (IS); 52.31%, 16.70%, and 7.39% for Mamu Shale (MS); 43.21%, 21.33%, and 10.36% for Enugu Shale (ES); 53.35%, 15.64%, and 7.17% for Nkporo Shale (NS); and 51.24%, 17.25%, and 7.78% for Agwu Shale (AS). However, the shales were depleted in Na₂O, MgO, K₂O, MnO, TiO₂, CaO, and P₂O₅. The trace element ratios of Ni/Co and Cu/Zn of the shale suggest an oxic depositional environment. The average SiO₂ vs. Al₂O₃ ratio of the shales indicated textural maturity. Compared to the PAAS standard, the shales plot below the PAAS value of 0.85, suggesting a high degree of maturity and intensive chemical weathering, further confirmed on a CIA vs. PIA plot. On log (K₂O/Na₂O) against SiO₂ and tectonic setting discriminant function diagrams, the shales plot mostly in the field of passive continental margin tectonic setting. The discriminant function diagrams as well as Al₂O₃/TiO₂ ratio of the shales showed that they were derived from a mixed source (mafic and intermediate igneous rocks).

지진원 상수의 정밀한 결정과 지진재해의 예측에 있어서 결정적인 요인의 하나는 부지증폭 특성에 관한 상세한 정보이다. 한반도 광대역 지진관측소의 부지증폭 특성이 0.2-20 Hz 범위 내에서 주파수의 함수로 추정되었다. 한반도 남부에서 2003년부터 2008년까지 관측된 43개의 지진에 대한 총 1275개의 지진기록이 사용되었다. 지진동 모델의 역산으로부터 추정된 28개소의 관측소에 대한 부지증폭비는 수직대 수평(H/V) 스펙트럼비로부터 얻어진 증폭비와 몇몇 관측소를 제외하고는 대체로 그 값이 일치하는 것이 발견되었다. 이 연구에서 얻어진 주파수별 부지증폭 특성은 어떤 뚜렷한 공간분포를 보이지 않았다. 또한 부지증폭 특성은 기반암 종류보다는 풍화의 정도와 크게 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 주파수별 부지증폭비를 참조하여 28개소의 광대역 관측소를 4개의 그룹으로 나누었고, 그룹별 특징에 대하여 본문에 서술하였다.

In Namyang Bay of western Korea, macrotidal-flat deposits are divisible into three late Quaternary units: Unit M1 of upper marine mud, Unit T1 of middle siderite-bearing terrestrial clay, and Unit M2 of lower marine mud. Unit M1 represents typical Holocene intertidal mudflat deposits, showing a coarsening-upward textural trend. It probably resulted from the continual retrogradation of tidal flat during the mid-to-late Holocene sea-level rise. Reddish brown-color Unit T1 consists of homogeneous clay with abundant freshwater siderite grains and plant remains. Unit T1 is clearly separated from the overlying Unit M1 by a sharp lithologic boundary. Radiocarbon age, siderite grains and lithologic features indicate that Unit T1 is originated from freshwater bog or swamp deposition infilling the localized topographic lows during the early Holocene age. Overlain unconformably by early Holocene swamp clay, Unit M2 is orange to yellow in color and mottled, suggesting significant degree of weathering during the sea-level lowstand. Such subaerial oxidation is confirmed in the vertical profiles of geotechnical properties, clay mineral assemblages and magnetic susceptibility. Unit M2 appears to be correlated with the upper part of the late Pleistocene tidal deposits developed along the western Korean coast. The sedimentary succession of the Namyang-Bay tidal-flat deposit provides stratigraphic information for the Holocene-late Pleistocene unconformity and also permits an assessment of the preservation potential of the late Pleistocene marginal marine deposit along the western coast of Korea.

The stability analysis method of an unsaturated slope considering the suction stress was performed on the infinite sand slope. During drying and wetting processes, the Soil-Water Characteristics Curve (SWCC) of the sand with the relative density of 75% was measured using the automated SWCC apparatus. Also, the Suction Stress Characteristics Curve (SSCC) was estimated. Based on these results, the stability analysis of an unsaturated infinite slope was carried out considering the slope angle, the weathering zone and the relative change in friction angle as a soil depth. According to the result of slope stability analysis, the safety factors of slope were less than 1 when the slope angles were more than $50^{\circ}$. The safety factors of slope tend to increase with increasing the depth from the ground surface. Especially, the safety factors have a tendency to increase and decrease above near the ground water level due to the suction stress. The maximum safety factor of slope in this analysis was occurred at the Air Entry Value (AEV) of drying process. The influence range of suction stress above the ground water level can be found out and can be defined as the funicular zone which means the metric suction range from the air entry point to the point of residual volumetric water content.

Background: To investigate radiological effects on biota, it is necessary to assess radiation dose for flora and fauna living in a terrestrial ecosystem. This paper presents a dynamic model to assess radioactivity concentration and radiation dose of terrestrial flora and fauna after a nuclear accident. Materials and Methods: Litter, organic soil, mineral soil, trees, wild crops, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores are considered the major components of a terrestrial ecosystem. The model considers the physicochemical and biological processes of interception, weathering, decomposition of litter, percolation, root uptake, leaching, radioactive decay, and biological loss of animals. The predictive capability of the model was investigated by comparison of its predictions with field data for biota measured in the Fukushima forest area after the Fukushima nuclear accident. Results and Discussion: The predicted radioactive cesium inventories for trees agreed well with those for evergreens and deciduous trees sampled in the Fukushima area. The predicted temporal radioactivity concentrations for animals were within the range of the measured radioactivity concentrations of deer, wild boars, and black bears. The radiation dose for the animals were, for the whole simulation time, estimated to be much smaller than the lower limit (0.1 mGy·d^-1) of the derived consideration reference level given by the International Commission on Radiological Protection for terrestrial flora and fauna. This suggested that the radiation effect of the accident on the biota in the Fukushima forest would be insignificant. Conclusion: The present dynamic model can be used effectively to investigate the radiological risk to terrestrial ecosystems following a nuclear accident.

Road is built continuously along with development of industry and cut slope is happened necessarily in road construction. Geoengineers are executing cut slope stability analysis considering various cut slope condition such as topography, geology, hydraulic condition and so on. The Tertiary Jungja Basin is located in the southeastern coastal area of the Korea Peninsula. Jungja Basin area is created by geotectonic movement of the plate after Early Miocene epoch. The northwestern and southwestern boundary of the basin is fault zone. The Basement rock is hornfels (Ulsan Formation). Basin-fills consist of extrusive volcanic rock(Tangsa Andesites), unconsolidated fluviatile conglomerate(Kangdong Formation) and shallow brackish-water sandstone(Sinhyun Formation). The characteristics of cut slopes in this area is different with cut slopes in the other site. Soil layers in this area is unconsolidated sediments and is not formed the weathering and erosion of the rock. So, the depth of soil layer is very thick. Faults of this area are northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest direction. Expandible clay mineral as smectite, chlorite et al. detected from fault gouge using XRD. Therefore, Jungja Basin area must consider the characteristics of the faults and soil layers thickness necessarily cut slopes stability analysis.

전라남도 신안군 흑산면 대장도에 부존하는 장도습지는 선캠브리아기로 추정되는 매우 심하게 규화된 변성퇴적암층을 관입한 화강암이 풍화되어 형성된 와지로 사료되며, 습지주변으로 비교적 다양한 화강암 풍화지형들이 관찰된다. 그리고, 장도습지의 형성은 화강암이 차별침식작용에 의하여 잘게 부스러지고 암편들이 홍수성 강우나 혹은 표토의 사면이동으로 낮은 경사지형이 되었고, 그 결과로 습지가 형성될 수 있는 지형특성을 보인 것으로 잠정적으로 해석된다. 또한, 습지주변의 사면토양과 습지퇴적물을 분석해 본 결과, 장도습지는 주변 사면토양의 영향하에 있는 환경이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 환경에서 습지로의 수분공급은 오랜 기간동안 지속되어 지형적으로 오목한 곳에 수분과 유기물을 끊임없이 공급하여 유기물의 분해가 잘 이루어지지 않는 습지환경을 만들어 냈으며, 습지에 적합한 식생들이 정착하여 지속적으로 습지의 두께를 높여 현재의 습지를 형성해 낸 것으로 사료된다.
