Changes in the soil layer on Dokdo are important both academically and with regard to sustainable conservation and utilization of the islands. Continuous investigation and observation are necessary, as the soil layer is essential to the growth of plants and, therefore, the islands' ecosystem. Such work was carried out for about 8 years using soil erosion measuring bars, which are durable and facilitate simple monitoring of changes in the soil layer. Each bar comprised a rod measuring 30~50 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter, and the use of stainless steel afforded resistance to corrosion caused by sea breezes. Six measuring bars were installed in the soil layers of each of two islands, Dongdo and Seodo, and measurements were taken one to three times a year from 2014 to 2021. The field measurements indicate that soil was deposited on Dongdo but eroded on Seodo during the observation period. As the measuring bars on Dongdo were located in the central and lower parts of the island, the observed changes in the soil layer resulted mainly from sedimentation of material eroded by weathering or soil runoff from the upper part of the island. In contrast, the measurement locations on Seodo were located in the upper and central parts of the island, where soil erosion and runoff diminished the soil layer at the observation points.

Interpretation of high-resolution seismic profiles collected from the inner shetf of the Korea Strait reveals that the shelf sequence in this area consists of three sedimentary units (I, II, and III in a descending order) formed after the last glacial maximum. Lower two units (II and III) represent the transgressive systems tract formed during the Holocene transgression, Unit III above the sequence boundary is interpreted to be the transgressive estuarine deposit, whereas Unit ll above the ravinement surface forms a thin transgressive sand which consists of the sediment produced through shoreface erosion and winnowing during the transgression. Unit I above the maximum flooding surface is the highstand systems tract consisting mainly of recent muds derived from the Nakdong River.

Analysis of multi-channel seismic reflection data from the Southern Ulleung Basin reveals that Plio-Quaternary section in the area consists of nine stacked sedimentary units separated by erosional unconformities. On the southern slope, these sedimentary units are acoustically characterized by chaotic seismic facies without distinct internal reflections, interpreted as debris-flow bodies. Toward the basin floor, the sedimentary units are defined by well-stratified facies with good continuity and strong amplitude, interpreted as turbidite/hemipelagic sediments. The seismic facies distribution suggests that deposition of Plio-Quaternary section in the area was controlled mainly by tectonic movement and sea-level fluctuations. During the Pliocene, sedimentation was mainly controlled by tectonic movements related to the back-arc closure of the East Sea. The back-arc closure that began in the Miocene caused compressional deformation along the southern margin of the Ulleung Basin, resulting in regional uplift which continued until the Pliocene. Large amounts of sediments, eroded from the uplifted crustal blocks, were supplied to the basin, depositing Unit 1 which consists of debris-flow deposits. During the Quaternary, sea-level fluctuations resulted in stacked sedimentary units (2-9) consisting of debris-flow deposits, formed during sea-level fall and lowstands, and thin hemipelagic/turbidite sediments, deposited during sea-level rise and highstands.

산지사면에서의 토양침식량은 실제 유역을 빠져나가는 토사유출량과 같지 않다. 이는 토사가 이동하는 과정에서 지형적인 요인 등에 의해 퇴적되거나, 가중되는 유수에 의해 더 많은 토양이 침식될 수 있기 때문이다. 토사유출률(SDR)은 유역의 크기뿐만 아니라 지형, 기후, 토양, 식생피복, 토지이용도 등에 관계된다. 본 연구에서는 기후 특성인 강우크기에 따른 토사유출률의 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 산불 이후 5년 동안 산지 소유역의 시험유역을 운영하여 유출 및 토사유출량을 실측하여 자료를 구축하였고, 이 유역에 산지지역의 토양침식 모형인 SEMMA을 적용하여 토양침식량을 산정하고 유역출구로 이송한 실제 토사유출량과 비교하였다. 5년 동안 SDR은 전반적으로 감소하고, 강우량, 강우강도, 강우에너지와 같은 강우사상의 크기에 따라 증가한다. SDR은 2001년에서 2002년까지 대부분 1.0 이상이고, 2005년에는 1.0을 초과하지 않으며, 강우특성 뿐만 아니라 식생피복, 산불시간경과 등의 인자에 의존한다.

To study the seasonal pattern of sediment distribution and the transport tendency in Haeundae nearshore area; i) the grain size texture of surface sediment was examined in June, October, and December of 2007, and March and June of 2008, and secondary, ii) the transport tendency was studied by using a two-dimensional sediment transport model of Gao and Collins (1992), and finally, iii) the bathymetric changes were analyzed by using the data collected in February, May, August, and December of 2007 by Haeundae District Office. Spatial distribution of sediment texture, the tendency of sediment transport as well as the bathymetric change showed significant seasonal variations. From June to December of 2007, the eastern part of the Haeundae area, off Dalmaji Hill showed the coarsening of mean grain size with a prominent transport tendency toward the Haeundae beach. On the contrary, the western part of the area, off Dongbaek Island showed a fining trend of mean grain size, and the transport tendency toward the beach was relatively weakened. From December of 2007 to June of 2008, the mean grain size of Mipo Harbor became finer, and the transport tendency toward the central beach decreased. The mean grain size of Dongbaek Island became coarser, while the tendency increased in the direction of the beach. The areas of significant net accumulation and erosion were depicted based on the bathymetric changes between observation periods. During the period of February to May of 2007, net accumulation was observed on the eastern part of the study area, in front of Mipo Harbor. Erosion was generally occurred throughout the area from May to August of 2007. From August to December of 2007, erosion and accumulation was observed off Mipo Harbor and Dongbaek Island, respectively. The change of sediment facies also suggests the accumulation on the eastern coast during the spring, erosion around the entire coast during the summer, and accumulation on the western coast during the winter. The changes in the accumulation and erosion were most apparent during the summer when several typhoons have passed by, while unnoticeable during the spring.

Sesan강과 Srepok강은 베트남, 캄보디아, 라오스가 공유하는 3S강 유역 (Sesan강, Srepok강, Sekong강)의 일부로 연구 및 관리된다. 3S강 유역은 Mekong강의 중요한 지류이며 Mekong강 유역의 상당 부분을 구성한다(Mekong강 유역 면적의 10%, 연간 총 유출량의 20%). 베트남 측 Sesan강 유역의 면적은 11,255km²이고 Srepok강 유역 면적은 18,162km²이다. Sesan강과 Srepok 강의 상류는 베트남 중부 고원의 긴 산맥에 위치하고 있다. Sesan강과 Srepok강 유역은 기후변화에 따른 홍수, 가뭄, 어업 지속 가능성 감소, 퇴적 등 많은 문제와 도전에 직면 할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 World Bank의 "Viet Nam Mekong Integrated Water Resources Management (M-IWRM) Project의 일환으로 베트남 정부 차원에서 처음으로 구축한 수자원관리 의사결정지원 시스템인 "DSS-2S"를 활용하여, Sesan-Srepok강 유역의 강둑 침식 위험성을 분석하였다. DSS-2S는 MIKE Hydro Basin을 기반으로 SWAT모델, 수리모델, 하상변동 모델, 및 수질모델 등과 연계 하여 구축되었다. 2030 년을 목표 연도로 설정하고, 기후 변화 시나리오와 사회 경제적 발전을 기반으로 DSS-2S에 포함되어 있는 유사 이송 및 수리학적 모델을 활용하여 주요 하천 단면에서의 평균 유속과 하상 침식 양을 예측하였다. 유속 및 심부 침식 기준에 근거하여 강둑 침식 위험성을 분석하였다. 모델의 시뮬레이션 결과를 기반으로 강둑 침식 위험이 있는 강 구간은 고(高)유속과 높은 침식의 조합에 의해 결정되었다. 고위험 침식 예상지는 Sesan강 유역의 Dak Bla, Po Ko, 및 Se San강에 총 길이 73.5km에 걸쳐 발생 할 것으로 분석되었으며, 침식 위험이 매우 높은 지역은 Dak Bla 강에 총 길이 2,286m, Po Ko 강에 총 길이 5,096m 정도가 발생 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 강둑 세국을 유발할 수 있는 다양한 인자들을 고찰하였으며, 본 성과는 베트남 중앙 정부의 장기수 자원 종합계획 수립의 기본 자료로 활용 될 예정이다.

The shoreline change caused by the construction of shore protection structures are discussed based on the example of Youngrang coast, Sokcho where the coastal erosion control system(CECS), three artificial headlands and two submerged breakwaters are being constructed. The study qualitatively analyzed the shoreline changes of Youngrang coast using available satellite/aerial photographs and camera photographs taken during the construction period of 6 years since 2002 for the artificial headlands construction. The main results from the study are as following. (1) Before the installation of the middle artificial headland, longshore drifts along Youngrang coast are transported in the NW-SE direction according to the seasonally different wave characteristics. (2) During the CECS construction the shoreline is continuously changed by altering the local longshore drift budget. Especially, the middle artificial headland induces considerable change of shoreline by blocking the sediment supply from the southern pocket beach to the northern pocket beach and by accelerating the sediment accretion at the wave shadow zone behind its head. It induces the asymmetry on the net longshore drift causing the significant erosion at the center of the southern pocket beach. (3) The study demonstrates that serious unintended erosion/accretion problem are possibly occurred due to local changes on the wave transformation and the sediment transport by the construction of coastal erosion control system.

This study aims to elucidate the relative importance of geological characteristics, soil slope, and rainfall intensity in relation to soil erosion. To this end, indoor rainfall simulation experiments were carried out under different conditions of rainfall intensities, soil slope, and geological characteristics. The test results show that the factors affect soil erosion in the order of soil slope > rainfall intensity > organic content in the soil. Erosion rates were proportional to rainfall, and increase with increasing clay content. Therefore, the soil erosion rate increases strongly with increasing organic content and clay content. The results show that the soil erosion rate in areas of metamorphic rocks shows a marked increase compared with areas of steep slope and sedimentary rocks. These results indicate that the geological characteristics to produce soil are closely related to sedimentation before and after erosion, providing basic information for the development of models to predict soil erosion rates.
