부산 동래지역 지열수에 대한 지화학적 진화과정을 밝히기 위하여 지열수, 지하수 및 해수에 대한 수리화학 특성과 이들의 연관성을 고찰하였다. 또한 심부환경에서의 지화학 특성을 규명하기 위하여 각종 이온지질온도계와 다성분 지질온도계를 적용하였으며, 동위원소특성과 함께 지화학 모델링을 통하여 심부환경에서의 온천수의 지화학특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 동래 지열수의 수리화학적 특성은 해수의 영향을 받아 높은 이온함량을 보이며 Na-Cl형을 보여준다. 지열수는 주변 지하수와의 크게 혼합된 양상을 나타낸다. 지화학 모델링에 따르면 지열수는 심부에서 약 5% 영향을 받은 것으로 추정된다. 즉, 심부로 순환하는 지열수가 해수와 혼합되며, 이들이 지열에 의해 가열되면서 광물의 용해 및 침전, 이온 교환반응 등 물-암석 반응을 거치면서 심부지열수를 형성하였으며, 지열수가 천부환경으로 상승하는 과정에서 동래지역 주변 천부지하수와 다양하게 혼합되면서 현재 동래온천수의 화학조성을 갖는 온천수를 형성하는 것으로 지열수의 진화 과정을 설명할 수 있다.

Groundwater in crystalline basement is controlled primarily by tectonic fractures. It is evident that the delineation of the heavily faulted area and/or fractures deeply developped should be considerable value in deep-seated low enthalphy geothermal water. Electrical and electromagnetic methods have effectively been employed to map hydraulic faults and shear zones for groundwater exploration. In this study VLi; dipoledipole resistivity, controlled source audio~frequency magneto-telluric(CSAMT) and magnetic methods were applied in the Bomun resort area, adjacent to Kyongju city, southeastern part of Korea. The integrated geophysical tools employed in this experiment can be manifested themselves as: 1. Magnetic high for granite intrusions which is more favorable for geothermal gradient increase in depth. 2. VLF cross-over trends for mapping linear shallow conductive fractures and shear zones. 3. Dipole-dipole resistivity distributions for the deep-seated(less than 500m in depth) fractures and shear zones. The dipole-dipole resistivity field data were inverted to the true resistivity distribution with two-dimensional automatic inversion program based on the finite-difference method. 4. CSAMT provides an efficient way of delineating fractures and fault zones if the depth is greater than about 500m.

The main purpose of this study is to identify the shallow gas origin in the KSSM zone. Based on the results of gas composition and isotope in the headsapace gas, the shallow gas is mainly composed of methane and carbon and deuterium isotopes (${\delta}^{13}CCH_4$ and ${\delta}DCH_4$) of methane has ranged from -93.4%o to -70.9%, and from -228%o to -199%o in each. These results imply that shallow gas has predominately biogenic source by $CO_2$ reduction rather than thermogenic. The carbon isotopic separation (${\varepsilon}_c$) between methane and carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ has a range of 54.4 to 72.2, it also supports biogenic origin of shallow gas.

A problem of ground subsidence has been a focus of our research over the past 3 years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the disturbed stratigraphic structure by mining and to separate the possible ground subsidence area using shallow seismic reflection survey and processing. To overcome the problems such as the distortion and attenuation of seismic signal caused by ground disturbance and to acquire the high frequency data, an array with short spacing (0.3m) for both the shot and receivers, yielding near-offset (<30m) and CMP spacing of 0.15m was implemented. Data were acquired along the survey line with length of about 43m by fixed receiver array. By considering statics caused by the ground disturbance and offset distribution of data, careful processing steps such as muting and residual statics correction were applied for successful shallow reflection imaging. By correlating the ground subsidence data and stack section, possible subsidence zone could be interpreted quantitatively.

The geologic structure of the Yongil Bay was studied in detail based on high resolution seismic profiles. The seafloor trends NE to SW with a deeper part off the Kuryong Peninsula. The seafloor is rather smooth due to the Quaternary fluvial deposits in the lower part and muddy sediments in the upper part. The seafloor off Umockri is very irregular due to erosion where Tertiary sedimentary rocks crop out. The underlying basement rocks were strongly deformed with faults and folds. High-angled reverse faults mostly trend N-S and NNW-SSE and are indicative of westward thrusting. Normal faults in NW-SE and WNW-ESE directions occur locally. Large folding structures trend NE-SW nearshore area of Umockri. The geologic structure suggests that the bay was subject to compressional stress regimes trending E-W and/or NW-SE prior to the early Late Miocene.

We propose a waveform inversion method for SH-wave data obtained in a shallow seismic refraction survey, to determine a 2D inhomogeneous S-wave profile of shallow soils. In this method, a 2.5D equation is used to simulate SH-wave propagation in 2D media. The equation is solved with the staggered grid finite-difference approximation to the 4th-order in space and 2nd-order in time, to compute a synthetic wave. The misfit, defined using differences between calculated and observed waveforms, is minimised with a hybrid heuristic search method. We parameterise a 2D subsurface structural model with blocks with different depth boundaries, and S-wave velocities in each block. Numerical experiments were conducted using synthetic SH-wave data with white noise for a model having a blind layer and irregular interfaces. We could reconstruct a structure including a blind layer with reasonable computation time from surface seismic refraction data.

Hydrogeochemistry of groundwater was studied in order to identify the influence of cow manure, distributed to a farmland as organic fertilizer, on nitrate concentrations in shallow groundwater and its spatio-temporal variations. From monitoring wells, water levels were measured using automatic data loggers, and water samples collected and analyzed in Feb., April, June and Oct. 2007. The average electric conductivity and concentration of nitrate in the groundwater show the highest levels in April and decline in subsequent sampling times. Decreases in dissolved oxygen(DO) and nitrate concentrations from April to Oct. and corresponding increases in $HCO_3$ concentrations indicate denitrification processes by microorganisms. Spatial variation of nitrate concentration appeared to be affected by the redox conditions of groundwater controlled by geochemical reactions of Mn, Fe and DOC contents.
