Rapid geomorphic changes occur in Nakdong River deltaic coast which is composed of deltaic barrier islands and tidal flats. We investigate the pattern of these rapid geomorphic changes by analyzing the distributions of sediment grain size characteristics. The distributions of sediment grain size characteristics analysis is a very efficient method to explain geomorphic changes of deltaic barrier islands. In sediments from Jinwoo Island, Sinja Island, and Doyo Island which are composed of Nakdong River deltaic coast, mean particle size increases to onshore direction and become coarser in tidal inlets. All sediments are very well sorted. Though almost sediments show little negative skewness, several sediments from tidal inlets show negative skewness. These results provide that the stronger and more regular energies affect Nakdong River deltaic coast and make fine sediments selectively move toward tidal inlets. Because of this mechanism, the recurved spits of deltaic barrier islands enlarge.

This study analyzes and compares the geomorphic characteristics and environmental changes of coastal plains such as the Anju and Hamheung Plains located in the west and east coasts of North Korea, respectively, based on topographic maps of the 1910s and satellite images of the 2000s. The Anju Plain, so called by as Yeoldusamcheonribeol, can be divided into alluvial plains, coastal plains and erosional plains. The Hamheung Plain can be regarded as alluvial plains formed by Seongcheon-river. Approximately 84.98$km^2$ tidal flats have been reclaimed to farmlands and saltpans, and the most channels of medium and small rivers have been straightened at the Anju Plain during the last one hundred years. At the Hamheung Plain, on the other hands, approximately 3.40$km^2$ land has been increased by the advances of coastal line of the Seongcheon-river delta with a maximum of 800m, and channels of Seoseongcheon-river which showed anastomosing channels have been disappeared by reclamation. Gwang-po has been decreased by artificial reclamations and river sedimentary processes.

천수방정식을 사용하는 초기 수치모형은 프로드수($F_4$)가 변화하는 흐름 즉, 상류방향과 하류방향으로 전파하는 홍수파를 동시에 해석하기 위해 중앙 차분기법이 필요한 상류(sub-critical flow)와 흐름방향에 따른 상류이송(upwinding)기법이 필요한 사류(super-critical flow)가 나타나는 흐름해석에서 어려움이 있었다. 하지만, 근사 Riemann 해법의 등장으로 흐름방향에 관계없이 특성선을 따라 정확한 상향가중기법의 적용이 가능하게 되어, 천수방정식을 지배방정식으로 하는 수치모형이 더욱 실용적으로 적용될 수 있도록 하였다. 따라서, 현재 근사 Riemann 해법은 Godunov 형 유한체적 기법, 불연속 Galerkin 혹은 Petrov-Galerkin 유한요소기법 그리고 Boussinesq 기법에도 적용되고 있으며, 특히 Godunov 형 유한체적기법과 결합한 근사 Riemann 해법은 댐 붕괴, 하천 범람 그리고 도시 및 해안지역 침수에 이르기까지 여러 가지 문제에 폭넓게 적용되고 있다. 지금까지 홍수 모델링에 적용된 Godunov형 유한체적모형은 정형 사각격자나 비정형 삼각격자 중에서 한가지의 격자 종류만을 적용한 연구가 주로 수행되었으며, 유한요소모형과 같이 이 두 가지 격자를 동시에 적용한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 일반적으로, 삼각격자는 사각격자와 는 달리 연구유역의 경계나 지형이 복잡한 경우에도 큰 노력없이 격자의 생성이 가능하나, 격자와 노드의 수가 사각격자보다 많아 계산시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 반면, 사각격자는 하천과 같이 선형으로 변하는 지형에 대해서는 표현하기가 용이하며 계산시간의 효율성도 뛰어나다. 본 연구에서는 하천, 도시 그리고 해안지역에서의 효율적이고 정확한 홍수 모델링을 위해 삼각 및 사각격자 그리고 이 두 격자를 동시에 고려한 하이브리드 격자의 적용이 가능한 Godunov형 2차원 유한체적 모형을 개발하였다. 그리고 개발모형을 정확해가 있는 댐 붕괴 문제, 실측치가 존재하는 실험하도 및 실제하도에 삼각, 사각 그리고 혼합격자를 생성하여 모의를 수행하고, 각 적용 격자에 따른 정확성과 효율성 및 장점과 단점을 연구하였다.

For effective and accurate prediction of overpressure in the Efomeh field, located in the Niger delta basin of Nigeria, integrated seismic and borehole analyses were undertaken. Normal and abnormal pore pressure zones were delineated based on the principle of normal and deviation from normal velocity trends. The transition between the two trends signifies the top of overpressure. The overpressure tops were picked at regular intervals from seismic data using interval velocities obtained by applying Dix's approximation. The accuracy of the predicted overpressure zone was confirmed from the sonic velocity data of the Efomeh 01 well. The variation to the depth of overpressure between the predicted and observed values was less than 10mat the Efomeh 01 well location, with confidence of over 99 per cent. The depth map generated shows that the depth distribution to the top of the overpressure zone of the Efomeh field falls within the sub-sea depth range of 2655${\pm}$2m (2550 ms) to 3720${\pm}$2m (2900 ms). This depth conforms to thick marine shales using the Efomeh 01 composite log. The lower part of the Agbada Formation within the Efomeh field is overpressured and the depth of the top of the overpressure does not follow any time-stratigraphic boundary across the field. Prediction of the top of the overpressure zone within the Efomeh field for potential wells that will total depth beyond 2440m sub-sea is very important for safer drilling practice as well as the prevention of lost circulation.

To analyze tendency of temporal and spatial change of shorelines and to estimate rate of shoreline changes using long-term shoreline change data is very important for the coastal environmental management. In this study, investigation was conducted to estimate the rate of shoreline changes using long-term shoreline change data from the year 1985 to 2009 aerial photographs. In this process aerial triangulation, GPS surveying and digital mapping was done for the estimation of changes. As the results, shorelines of Bangpo and Kkotji Beach retreated at a maximum rate of 0.2 m/yr and 0.8 m/yr, respectively. The shoreline could be changed by various factors. However, it was presumed that coastal erosion has been mainly affected by retaining wall constructed in the late 1990s.

The Nakdong Delta can be identified by two different geomorphic units. The first one is the upper delta. This is mostly composed of inter-distributary islands that are largely influenced by fluvial processes and attributed to the development of these islands along the river. The other one is the lower delta which is mostly composed of beach ridges. Barrier islands are largely effected by wave processes promoted by the development almost at a right angle to the river. Influenced by the longshore current which flows to the same direction, barrier islands located in the Nakdong river estuary are developing from east to west direction. As a result, the eastern end of the barrier islands are growing toward the north-west direction effected by tidal current which moves toward the same direction. Barrier islands include the Sinho Island, the Jinwoo Island, the Daema deung, the Janga Island, the Baghap deung, the Sae deung, and the Chulsae deung(Doyeo deung). They have orderly emerged from the sea since 1861. Since 2008, a new Deung, a sand dune growing under sea, has been developing rapidly from Chulsae deung to the Dadaepo beach. It made the sailing of small fisher boats impossible. Tidal currents transported a lot of sand and silt around the barrier islands. The landscape of Nakdong river estuary where many barrier islands are distributed will change rapidly affecting land environment.

We conducted a field survey of the generation and development of the delta area of the Nakdong River estuary, Korea. To examine deposition and erosion of the barrier islands, we observed the spatiotemporal variations of sediment transport and quantitatively estimated the settling velocity of coastal sediment. For the field survey, we established two survey sites off the coasts of Jinu Island and Doyodeung, which had shown rapid variations in deposition and erosion. At these sites, we measured the net surface elevation change of the bottom level at approximately 1-month intervals. Main findings were summarized as follows. (1) Calculated daily deposition and erosion velocity during the observation period ranged from -1.39 to 3.56cm/day at Jinu Island and from -4.0 to 3.07cm/day at Doyodeung, respectively. (2) Although two typhoons passed by the study area during the observation period, the maximum net surface elevation was larger in October than during the passage of those typhoons.

The small-loop electromagnetic (EM) survey is an effective method to delineate contamination areas and pathways of contaminant plumes from landfill. A multi-frequency small-loop EM survey was applied to find them at landfill area, located in delta region, and checked the results with in-situ surveys including 24 trench excavations and 12 drilling boreholes. The correlation between these two results indicates this survey would be suitable to investigate the contamination area. However, it would be difficult to analyze low resistivity less than 10 ohm-m below 10 m depth in delta area without drilling survey because of a limitation to expand the penetration depth lower than 10 m depth due to the separation of 1.66 m between the two coils of GEM-2.

This study deals with geomorphological process of the sand dune landform including the distribution and surface environments, characteristics of sediments, origins and moving processes in lower reach and mouth delta of Duman River, Northeast Korea and China. The methodology of the study includes image analysis of Landsat TM(1992.10) and ETM(2000.9) and Spot(2005.4) for analysis of land cover, 2 times field survey for recognition of landform and acquisition of sediments raw data materials, and grain analysis and exoscopy about raw data materials. The geomorphic elements from satellite image analysis are composed of the delta, sand spit, active and stable dune, sand bar and riparian vegetated zone. Results of the grain analysis indicate the sediments originated from marine coastal zone than riverine one. This means that present sand dune not so much reflect present climatic and geomorphic environments. Result of the exoscopy analysis show that ratio of quartz, which is comparatively resistant to environment, is highest as $65{\sim}83%$ out of sediments. But the surface of the $30{\sim}40%$ of mineral grains was coated by yellow-colored stained materials, due to chemical weathering. Some grains show rough skin, looking as acicular, network structure and etching pits, affected by physical and chemical weathering.
