The modal analysis was carried out for the total of 216 subface sediments of southern continental shelf of Korean peninsula. Sandy mud or muddy sand distributed in the range of 70∼100 m water depth revealed the bimodal type (sand and mud components). The relations of textural parameters obtained from every modal were consistent with those of shallow marine sediments. The characteristics of sand component between bimodal were as follows: (1) the distributions of mean grain size, sorting, shell content were repeatedly distributed like the directions of depth contour lines. (2) Sand component was composed of medium to fine sand (Mz, 1-3$\psi$) containing many shell fragments, a few pebbles, and iron-stained quartz. (3) The surface of quartz revealed the concordial breakage and V-shaped features formed at high energy environment. (4) In CM-pattern, sand component was plotted in rolling and bottom suspension area. These characteristics imply that sand component probably derives from shoreface sediments deposited at the beach environment.

The EFDC model has been simplified to enhance the computing performance in hydrodynamic modeling. Water quality module and unnecessary conditional statements were deleted in subroutine list and memory allocation. The performance of the enhanced model (EFDC-E) was checked by applying EFDC and EFDC-E models to simulating the tidal flow in Mokpo coastal zone. Both two-dimensional models and threedimensional models have been applied and compared. Three-dimensional models showed better simulation results agreeing with observed currents than two-dimensional models. The simulation results of EFDC-E model gave good results agreeing with the simulation results of EFDC model and the observed data. The computing speed of EFDC-E model is improved 3 times faster than that of EFDC model in modeling hydrodynamic flow for real time of 3 days in both 2-dimensional modeling and 3-dimensional modeling. The EFDC-E model can be used widely for hydrodynamic modeling because of improved simulation speed.

The Central South Sea Mud (CSSM), developed in the Seomjin River estuary, is known to be supplied with sediments from Heuksan Mud Belt (HMB) and Seomjin River. However, in order to form a mud belt, more sediments must be supplied than supplied in the above areas. Therefore, research on additional sources should be conducted. In this study, clay minerals, major elements analyzes were performed on cores 16PCT-GC01 and 16PCT-GC03 in order to investigate the transition in the provenance and transport pathway of sediments in CSSM. The Huanghe sediments are characterized by higher smectite and the Changjiang sediments are characterized by higher illite. Korean river sediments contain more kaolinite and chlorite than those of chinese rivers. Korean river sediments have higher Al, Fe, K concentraion than Chinese river sediments and Chinese rivers have higher Ca, Mg, Na than those of Korean rivers. Therefore, clay minerals and major elements can be a useful indicator for provenance. Based on our results, CSSM can be divided into three sediment units. Unit 3, which corresponds to the lowstand stage, is interpreted that sediments from Huanghe were supplied to the study area by coastal or tidal currents. Unit 2, which corresponds to the transgressive stage, is interpreted to have a weaker Huanghe effect and a stronger Changjiang and Korean rivers effect. Unit 1, which corresponds to the highstand stage when the sea level is the same as present and current circulation system is formed, is interpreted that sediments from Changjiang and Korean rivers are supplied to the research area through the current.

고속도로변에 설치된 retention pond는 drainage system의 일부분으로 우기에 빗물의 양을 조절하고 고속도로 노면에서 운반되어 retention pond에 유입된 오염된 입자를 침전, 제거시키기 위해 설치되었다. 빗물에 입자상태로 이동된 납, 아연, 카드뮴를 제거하기 위해 설치된 retention pond의 효과를 평가하기 위해 수리지질학적 연구 및 부유퇴적물의 물리화학적 특징을 규명하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 부유퇴적물과 비교하기 위해 심하게 오염된 roadside soil과 오염되지 않은 background soil에 대해서도 연구가 수행되었다. 부유퇴적물의 중금속함량은 background Sologne soil에 비해 원소에 따라 2-8배 높다. 그러나, roadside soil의 중금속함량은 부유퇴적물에 비해 7-26배 높다. Sequential extraction methods를 이용하여 분석한 결과 심하게 오염된 roadside soil에 존재하는 납, 아연, 카드뮴은 대부분 쉽게 용해될 수 있는 상태 (Fraction FII, FIII)로 존재하며 반면에 규산염광물과 수반되는 금속함량의 비율은 매우 낮다. 부유퇴적물에서는 규산염광물과 수반되는 금속함량이 전체 금속함량의 1/3까지 크게 증가한다. Roadside soil 과 부유퇴적물사이의 중금속함량 차이가 매우 큰 것은 중금속의 대부분이 retention pond에 이르기 전에 고속도로변과 배수로 일부에 축적되어 모두 상실하기 때문이다.

Geochemical composition and clay minerals of surface and core sediments around off the Jeju Island were analyzed for identification of sediment origins. The clay mineral distribution is mainly controlled by the sediment source and the dominant circulation pattern. Smectite is highly concentrated (>8%) in the northwest near the South Yellow Sea and in the outer-shelf mud patch. It seems to be due to the high supply of smectite transported from China where fine-grained sediments are discharged from modern and ancient Huanghe River. The relatively high abundance of kaolinite are found in northeastern nearshore area and the southwest near Changjiang estuary. It seems to be supplied from Changjiang River and the southwestern Korea rivers. The sediment accumulation rates measured by $^{210}Pb$ geochronrom mowere 0.20 to 0.54cm/mr or 0.15 to $0.42g/cm^2{\cdot}mr^{-1}$ AOJI, with decreasing rates from the west part to the east part, resulting in the supply of fine-grained suspended sediments from the Changjiang and Huanghe Rivers system. The discrimination diagrams clearly show that the sediments around Jeju Island in the northern East China Sea are ultimately sourced from Chinese rivers, especially from the Huanghe River, whereas the sediment in the northeast part might come from Korean rivers and the Jeju Island.

본 연구는 오염된 농업용 저수지에 대하여 수층에 따른 수질 변화 특성을 조사하고, 저수지 저부의 퇴적물에 대한 용출 실험을 통해 수층별 수질 특성이 퇴적물의 용출에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 수행되었다. 연구 대상 저수지의 선정은 설치년도 1960년대를 기준으로 이전과 이후로 분류하였으며, 주요 오염원을 축산계와 생활계 오염원으로 분류하여 각 다른 특성을 가진 저수지를 선정하여 조사하였다. 내부 오염 부하량이 수체에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 실시한 용출량 실험 결과, 호기 조건에서 축산계오염원 저수지의 T-P가 미미하게 용출이 일어난 것을 제외하고는 생활계, 축산계오염원 저수지에서 용출이 일어나지 않았다. 반면에 혐기 조건의 경우에는 생활계오염원 보다는 축산계오염원 저수지에서, 1960년대 이후 설치된 저수지에서 보다는 1960년대 이전에 설치된 저수지에서 용출이 크게 일어나는 것으로 조사 되었다. 혐기 조건에서 T-N의 경우 생활계오염원과 1960년대 이후 설치된 저수지에서는 용출이 일어나지 않았으나, 그 외의 항목에서는 모두 용출이 일어나는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 혐기조건에서는 모든 연구대상 저수지에서 T-P의 용출이 크게 일어나는 것으로 조사되었는데, 이는 부영양화의 주요 영향인자로 작용할 수 있으므로 저수지 저부의 혐기조건이 형성되는 것을 제어?관리해야 할 필요성이 있다고 하겠다. 연구 저수지에 대한 현장 조사 결과, 가뭄의 영향으로 수위가 평년에 비해 상당히 낮았으며, 저수량의 부족으로 저수지 주변의 바닥이 드러나거나 유출이 없는 등의 특징을 보였다. 수심이 낮은 5~7월의 조사 시기에는 표층의 DO 농도가 높음에도 저층부의 DO 농도는 1.2~2.2 mg/L를 나타내 약혐기조건이 형성됨을 확인하였다. 또한 현장측정기(HYDROLAB_Quanta)를 이용한 DO측정시, 저층부 퇴적물의 재부유를 막기 위해 저층경계면에서 30~50cm 윗부분을 측정했다는 점에서 저층부 바닥면의 DO 농도가 더 낮을 수 있다고 추정할 수 있다. 이는 이 시기에 퇴적층에 존재하는 오염물질의 용출이 충분히 일어날 수 있으며, 이후 8~11월에 수계 내 환란 및 순환에 의해 오염물질이 수중으로 이동하게 되고, 수질을 악화시키는 원인으로 작용할 수 있음을 추론할 수 있다. 이와 같이 퇴적되어 있던 오염물질이 계속적으로 용출 및 순환을 해마다 반복한다면 해당 저수지는 장기간 수질 오염 저수지가 될 수밖에 없을 것이다. 따라서 이러한 내부오염부하가 크다고 판단되는 저수지에 대하여 오염퇴적물의 관리가 필요하다고 하겠다.

Heavy metal contamination in subsurface soils and stream sediments at the Suggok mine area were investigated on the basis of major, trace and rare earth elements geochemistry and mineralogy. The Sanggok mine area is mainly composed of Cambro-Ordovician carbonate rocks. The mine had been mined for Pb-Zn-Fe and Au- Ag, but already closed in past. For major elements, especially Fe (mean value=18.58 wt.%) and Mn (mean value=4. 18 wt.%) are enriched in soils, and the average enrichment indices of soils and sediments are 6.84 and 1.54, respectively. The average enrichment index of rare earth elements are 0.92 of mining drainage sediments and 0.52 of subsurface soils on the tailing dam. Concentrations of minor and/or environmental toxic elements in those samples range from 29 to 3400 for As,1 to 11 for Cd, 35 to 292 for Cu, 50 to 1827 for Pb, 1 to 22 for Sb and 112 to 2644 for Zn. Extremely high concentrations (mean values) are found in subsurface soils on the tailing dam (As=2278, Cd=7, Cu=206, Pb=1372, Sb=14 and Zn=2231 ppm, respectively). Average enrichment index normalized by composition of non-mining drainage sediments is 2.42 in mining drainage sediments and 25.47 in subsurface soils on the tailing dam. Based on EPA value, enrichment index of toxic elements is 0.53 in non-mining drainage sediments, 1.84 in mining drainage sediments and 23.71 in subsurface soils on the tailing dam. As a results from X-ray powder diffraction method, mineral composition of soils and sediments near the mine area varied in part, and are calcite, dolomite, magnesite, quartz, mica, chlorite and clay minerals. With the separation of heavy minerals, soils and sediments of highly concentrated toxic elements included some pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena, goethite and hydroxide minerals on the polished sections.

Mooring survey for measurement of tidal current and suspended sediments was carried out at 4 inlets of Yeoja Bay in April, 2000 in order to understand the source of sediment supply. Net suspended sediment transport load during 2 tidal cycles through the M-1(West Inlet) was $133.88\;kg{\cdot}m^{-1}$ toward the Yeoja Bay, whereas the flux through the M-2(Jabal Inlet) was outward the Bay with the amount of $146.43\;kg{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The influx through the M-3 and 4(Bulgyo and Dong Isa Stream) was $23.25\;kg{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and $4,312.31\;kg{\cdot}m^{-1}$ toward the Yeoja Bay, respectively. Influx of suspended sediment on Yeoja Bay mainly occurred in the Dong Isa Stream. In the wet season the composition of surface was coarser-grained than dry season, possibly due to the influx of silty sediment from Dong Isa Stream In the wet season.

This study investigated the effect of the sediment phosphorus fraction sampled from the southern coast of Korea on the release characteristics of sediments by environmental changes of water quality. We conducted the release experiment in the laboratory for 20 days and measured the phosphorus fraction properties, the environmental factors of water quality, and the release rate of total phosphorus. The results showed a decrease in dissolved oxygen by the growth of microorganisms in the water layer, leading to the anaerobic condition in which the redox potential of the sediments decreased. As such, the decreasing variability of phosphates bonded to iron oxide in the sediment phosphorus was higher after 20 days of the release experiment than the first day. It means that the metal ions and the separated inorganic phosphorus transfer into the water when the iron oxide is reduced. The separated inorganic phosphorus is easily absorbed by the plankton. The analysis of total phosphorus in the water layer showed that it continuously increased to up to 0.304 mg/L for 20 days, and the release rate had a high correlation with the decrease of dissolved oxygen after 5 days of culture. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the characteristics of iron bonded to phosphorus in the phosphorus fraction and dissolved oxygen to manage the eutrophication of the system.

Contaminated sediments are the actual cause for deterioration of coastal-ecosystem. So the developed countries have been in the process of making an effort to develop new techniques for monitoring and solving this problem since 1960. In this research, suction type pump dredging system of pilot size for collecting the filth from the seabed has been designed and manufactured that can prevent or minimize the secondary pollution by filth diffusion. For the practical use, the application possibility of the developed system has been checked through a system performance test. And, the evaluation of system performance according to the underwater body type has been carried out for system optimization by using CFD. The performance tests for checking the efficiency of sediment collecting system are done under two conditions i.e. when the system is non-operational and when the system is self-propelled. The results of this research showed the possibility of the development of dredging system to remove just the upper parts of filth from seabed.
