광양만의 저서환경을 평가하기 위하여 광양만 표층퇴적물에 대한 퇴적학적, 지화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 입도분석결과 표층퇴적물의 입도특성 분포는 사질퇴적물과 점토질 퇴적물이 다양하게 분포하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 사질을 포함하는 퇴적물은 주로 POSCO 우측해역과 남해도 사이의 수로 중앙부분에 분포하고 있으며, 그외 지역에서는 점토질 퇴적물이 주를 이룬다. 유기물(TOC) 함량은 약 0.2-2.1%의 범위로 분포하고 있으며, 유기물의 C/N비에 근거한다면 육지에서 공급된 유기물과 현장에서 생성된 유기물이 혼합되어 있음을 지시하고 있다. 저질의 건강상태를 검토하기 위해 퇴적물중의 황화수소(H$_2$S)을 측정한 결과 최고 301 ppm에서 최소 0.7 ppm으로 나타났다. 전체적으로는 묘도안 쪽에서 비교적 높은 값을 보이고 있어 일반적으로 오염된 저서환경이라고 할 수 있다. 기존에 조사된 중형 저서생물의 개체수(species abundance)에 대한 공간분포면화를 조사해본 결과 묘도안쪽에서 낮은 개체수(species abundance)와 종수(species richness)를 보이고 있어 황화수소가 높게 나타나는 지역과 대략적으로 일치하고 있음을 보인다. 추후 저서생물의 다양도나, 저서오염지수(Benthic Pollution Index. BPI)등과 퇴적물증의 유기물이나 황화수소값이 어떻게 관련되는지에 대한 자세한 연구를 필요로 한다.

Sedimentological investigations on surface and suspended sediments were performed in Kwangyang Bay of the middle South Sea in order to reveal recent changes in depositional environments concerning anthropogenic influence. A variety of coastal developments caused the texture of the surface sediments to become distinctively finer, particularly in the southwestern part of the bay. Accordingly, the westward lining sedimentary facies was somewhat simplified from triple-mode distribution to the dual-mode one by the construction of POSCO. This east-west distribution to the sedimentary facies has recently graded into the north-south distribution by further construction of other industrial complexes including Kwangyang Port. The prominent textural changes in surface sediments are most likely associated with weakening of tidal currents related to the developments which is anticipated to be .still continued. The distribution and flux estimation of suspended sediments suggest a noticeable import of fine particles into the bay predominantly through a northern entrance rather than the southern entrance. The movements of suspended sediments in the water level near the seabed prevailed over those of the mid and surficial levels.

광양만의 지형변화 및 퇴적환경발달양상에 대해 표층퇴적물과 지층탐사자료를 이용하여 연구하였다. 광양만 해역은 1970년대이후 광양만 개발에 따라 해안선 및 해저지형이 급격한 변화를 겪어왔다. 광양만의 면적은 개발이전보다 25%정도 감소하였다. 해안선 변형은 공단건설을 위한 해안매립공사로 인해 그리고 해저지형변화는 대형선박들의 안전항로개발을 위한 해저퇴적물의 준설 등에 의해 발생하고 있다. 표층퇴적물는 점토질 퇴적물 묘도서측 및 여수해만의 외해지역에 주로 분포하고, 사질 퇴적물은 섬진강하구와 수로에 분포하고 있다. 표층퇴적물의 유기물 함량은 퇴적물의 특성을 반영하며, 특히 점토질퇴적물에 다량으로 포함하고 있다. 탄성파 단면도상에서 기반암위에 Unit II와 Unit I가 분포하며, 하부 Unit II는 홀로세 이전의 하천환경 퇴적층으로 판단되며, 홀로세 Unit I 퇴적층은 섬진강하구에서 외해를 향해 전진퇴적양상의 쐐기형태를 보인다. 이 층은 섬진강에서 유출된 퇴적물이 델타환경을 이루면서 형성된 퇴적층서로 해석된다. Unit I 퇴적층내에 천부가스층이 광범위하게 분포한다. 천부가스는 광양만의 생태환경에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 광양만 주변의 재발에 따른 해안 및 해저지형의 급격한 변형은 퇴적환경 및 해양환경에 변화를 야기할 것으로 예상된다. 특히 섬진강 하구지역의 광양제철소 건설은 섬진강에서 장양만으로 유입되는 퇴적물의 퇴적작용의 커다란 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

Samples for estimating concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocargons(PAHs), total petroleum hydrocarbons(TPHs), and benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylene(BTEX) were collected at the tidal flat sediments of 8 coastal sites in Incheon, at seventy-two sampling stations for the surface sediment and twenty-four stations for the sediment core, twice in the spring and fall in 2011. This study was performed to evaluate the distributions of seasonal and spatial concentrations of PAHs, TPHs, and BTEX in the tidal flat sediments. The source origin of PAHs were carried out. The total average concentration of PAHs in the tidal flat sediment was $95.62{\mu}g/kg$. The characteristic of PAHs concentration distributions was observed that the average concentration in the autumn was lower than that in the spring, and higher concentration in the sediment core than the surface sediment, and greater vertical concentration at the top rather than the bottom in the sediment core. The total average concentration of TPHs at all sampling sites was in the value of 46 mg/kg. The characteristic of the TPHs concentration distribution was observed that the average concentration in the fall was much higher than that in the spring, and higher concentration in the surface sediment than the sediment core. The possible source of PAHs inputs were mainly derived from both pyrogenic and petrogenic origin at the surface sediment at Janghwari site and the sediment cores of both Sorae and Okyeon sites, while the rest sites of study areas originated with pyrogenic combustion.

Multi-beam echosounder data and grain size analysis data of surface sediment were acquired and analyzed in order to investigate the shelf-to-slope morphology, geological character, and their geological controlling factors in the southwestern margin of the Ulleung Basin. According to the morphological character, the continental shelf can be divided into two parts: (1) shallow (~100 m) and steep ($0.5^{\circ}$) inner shelf, (2) deep (100-300 m) and gentle ($0.2^{\circ}$) outer shelf. The continental slope is featured with eight distinct topographic depressions of various spatial dimension (~121 $km^2$ in area) and head wall gradient (${\sim}24.3^{\circ}$). They are developed adjacent to each other and presumably formed by submarine landslides which have recurred under the strong influences of earthquakes and eustatic sea-level change. The inner continental shelf and the continental slope are dominated by fine-grained sediment, whereas the outer continental shelf is dominated by coarse-grained sediment. The surface sediment distribution seems dominantly influenced by eustatic sea-level change. The outer continental shelf is mostly covered by coarse relict sediment deposited during lowstand sea-level, while the inner shelf is covered with recent sediment during highstand sea-level. The surface of the continental slope is covered with fine-grained sediments which were supplied by hemipelagic advection process.

We studied the mineral composition and mineral distribution pattern of 131 surface sediments collected at the cruise in 2000 and 2007 from Southeastern Yellow Sea, South Sea of Korea and Southern part of Jeju Island. Mineral compositions of surface sediments were determined using the quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis. Surface sediments were composed of rock forming minerals (quartz 37.4%, plagioclase 11.7%, alkali feldspar 5.5%, hornblende 3.1%), clay minerals (illite 19.2%, chlorite 4.7%, kaolinite 1.8%) and carbonate minerals (calcite 10.7%, aragonite 3.4%). Distribution of clay minerals is very similar with fine-grained sediments, and especially same as the distribution of HSMD (Hucksan Mudbelt Deposit), SSKMD (South Sea of Korea Mudbelt Deposit) and JJMD (Jeju Mudbelt Deposit). The coarse sediment seemed to be relic sediment during the last glacial maximum and mainly consisted of rock forming minerals. Whereas the fine sediments mainly composed of clay minerals. Based on the clay mineral composition, main ocean current and geographical factor, HSMD and SSKMD might have derived from the rivers around the Korean Peninsula. However, JJMD is complex mudbelt deposit, which formed by Korean rivers and oceanic sediments.

진해 행암만은 반폐쇄성 내만으로서 생활하수 및 산업폐수의 유입에 의한 부영양화가 매우 심화된 해역으로서 겨울철에도 빈번하게 적조현상이 일어나는 해역이다. 그러나 매년 봄철부터 가을철까지는 부영양화 및 적조발생에 관한 조사는 많이 행하여 왔으나 진해만 및 마산만을 연구하기 위해 한 두 정점에 국한하여 조사가 이루어졌을 뿐이다. 특히, Park (1975)의 연구 이후 행암만에 대한 상세한 연구는 전무한 실정이며, 해수중 용존중금속 및 표층퇴적물중의 중금속농도분포도 거의 밝혀지지 않는 실정으로서 겨울철 행암만 수질과 표층퇴적물 중의 환경특성을 파악할 목적으로 본 조사를 수행하였다.

Process of resuspension and accumulation well explaines the characteristics of surface sediment size distribution and suspended material in Deukryang Bay. Most of the surface sediments of the bay show asymmetric unimodal size distribution, which is found also in sediments from western part of the inner shelf mud area between Keomundo and Yokchido islands. Investigation of the size curves indicates that surface sediment in Deukryang Bay is a deposit of suspended coastal sediment transported east along southern coast of Korea. The distribution pattern of coarse sit fraction content in the surface sediment is very similar to that of computed current velocity (Lee, 1994), suggesting that fine sediment on the bed may reassumed and accumulate repeatedly due to shallow depth and strong tidal current in Deukryang Bay. The process of repeated resuspension and accumulate repeatedly due to shallow depth and strong tidal current in Deukryang Bay. The process of repeated resuspension and accumulation seems to be responsible not only to the asymmetric size distribution of the surface sediment, but also to the amount of suspended material in the bay. The difference of suspended material concentration between surface and near bottom water in summer is two times as large as that the in winter. This seems to derive from the fact that stratification of water mass prevails in summer, while total water mass is vertically mixed in winter. It was found that the most important factors to decide distribution of suspended material in Deukryang Bay are the physical properties of water mass such as current velocity and stratification, and water depth, in part with the supply of suspended sediment by rivers.
