Abstract

Related to the tsunami impact caused by the 2004 Sumatra earthquake, field excursion of the title 'Tsunami impact on the coastal zone of Thailand' was carried out along the damaged coasts of Thailand fur three days. The damaged coastal zones along the Andaman Sea coasts of Thailand are classified into the severely damaged, the moderately damaged, and the slightly damaged coastal zone by the degree of damage. Channels of the river- mouths were widen, and the beach sands were eroded, transported, and then redeposited in the near shore or in the back beach area. Field excursion stops were 12 in the representative areas like Phang Nga province, the severely damaged coastal zone and Phuket Island, the slightly damaged coastal zone. In this report, the geo-logical effects on the coastal zone of Thailand by tsunami will be mainly illustrated by the satellite data before and after tsunami and the photographs taken during the field excursion.

2004년 수마트라 지진에 의해 야기된 지진해일의 충격과 관련하여 태국 피해연안에서 "Tsunami impact on the coastal zone of Thailand"라는 제목의 야외답사가 3일간 수행되었다. 태국 안다만해 연안의 지진해일 피해지역은 피해정도에 따라 심한 피해 연안역, 중간 피해 연안역, 약한 피해 연안역으로 구분된다. 하구의 수로들은 넓어지고 해빈 모래는 침식되어 인근해역이나 배후지역에 재퇴적되었다. 답사는 심한 피해 연안역인 팡아(Phang Nga)주와 약한 피해 연안역인 푸켓 섬 등 대표지역의 총 12개 지점에서 수행되었다. 본고에서는 지진해일 이전과 이후의 위성자료와 현장답사 사진을 중심으로 지질해일이 태국의 연안역에 미친 지질학적 영향을 소개한다.
