Macrozoobenthos were collected from 24 sites using small grab ($0.05m^2$) in order to see the spatial distribution of them at Sueocheon stream at the northern part of Gwangyang Bay during summer season when the maximum ecological processes are occurring. A total of 44 species of macrozoobenthos occurred, and their mean density was $789individuals/m^2$. Mollusks was the dominant faunal group accounted for 43.1% and 86.8% of the whole community density and biomass, respectively. Top five dominant species were a molluscan, Corbicula japonica (40.7%), two polychaete worms, Neanthes japonica (19.3%) and Heteromastus filiformis( 8.1%), and two crustaceans, Paranthura japonica (6.9%) and Jaeropsis sp. (6.9%). Species diversity index was very low with mean value of 1.12 and maximum value was recorded at the river mouth. At the upper stream, a brackish water species such as Corbicula japonica showed their maximum population density. The overall distribution of stream macrobenthos showed a rather simple pattern along with salinity and grain size gradients with few brackish water species occurring at coarse sediments in the stream but more diverse faunas inhabiting fine sediments in the river mouth.

한강 하구역은 국내 4대강 가운데 유일하게 하구둑이 설치되어 있지 않아 조수의 출입이 자유롭고 민간인의 접근이 통제되어 자연적인 하천지형과 기수역 생태계가 잘 보전된 지역이다. 본 연구에서는 신곡수중보 직하류부터 한강의 법적 하류단인 유도까지 총 36.8 km에 이르는 구간에 SMS 모형을 적용하여 조위에 의한 역류 및 이에 의한 확산거동을 살펴보았다. 조위곡선이 변곡점인 국부최저치를 지나 국부최고치로 향해 가는 중간지점의 시간부터 역방향 흐름이 유도지점에서 생기게 되고 이 반대방향 흐름이 상류로 계속 전파되어 최대 32.9 km인 장항 IC까지 전달되었다. 곡릉천에서 연속주입의 형태로 유입된 오염물질의 확산양상을 RMA-4로 분석한 결과 조위에 의해 모의기간 동안 총 5회 상류측으로의 확산을 관찰할 수 있었으며 이로 인해 곡릉천 일대의 생태계에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 밝혔다.

The Han River is divided into North and South Korea by NLL(Northern Limit Line) and its area has been blocked by CCL(Civil Control Line) since the Korean War in 1950. Satellite remote sensing, therefore, is uniquely suited to monitoring bar transformation in the region. In river with bar, the characteristics of its physical conditions have a close relationship with bar morphology. In this paper, a monitoring approach of bar transformation in the Han River Estuary is presented using RADARSAT/SAR images from 2000 to 2005 and spatial patterns of bar morphology are presented. It could be said that in the estuary vegetated area and natural levees are developed well, but bars are shifted after an event like a flood. It is also showed that suspended solids such as silt transported through the estuary could contribute highly to a sedimentation environment around Incheon.

A three-dimensional beach evolution model was presented to predict morphodynamics around a river mouth. The presented model was based on the depth-averaged (2DH) and quasi three-dimensional (Q-3D) nearshore current modules, and the model took into account shoreline changes, the effect of advection diffusion of suspended load and discharged sediments from the river. First, the 3D beach evolution model was applied to the formation of sand spits and terrace at the river mouth in order to investigate the performance of the model. Secondly, the model was applied to the river mouth at the Ara River, facing the Sea of Japan. The formation of sand spit at the Ara River in winter season was reproduced. The computed result showed qualitatively agreement with field site observation.

We investigated the deposition characteristics and mass transport flux estimation of the Nakdong estuary, Korea. To understand the effects of the tidal current circulation that influences estuary terrain changes, we used a 2D numerical model to map seawater circulation under three different situations, with the level of river flow being set as none or flood. The net-water flux of the cross-sectional area between sandbars (known as dung) was estimated. From our review of previous research, we know that the development of local sandbars shifted from the west to the east side of the estuary after the construction of the Nakdong River dike. Current development is occurring mostly at the Bakhap-dung near Tadea. The seawater circulation pattern over this large-scale area of tidal na is brings changes related to the quantity of the outflow from the Nakdong River. Based on the calculated results for the net-water flux of the cross-sectional area, we see very strong accumulation in local waters around Jangjiado, Bakhapdung, and Tadae under flood river flow conditions, but accumulation in local waters around Jinudo under the other states of flow. Consequently, in the Nakdong estuary, the main sensitive regions that are affected by changes in the flow of river discharge are the local waters around Jangiado, Bakhapdung, Tadae, and Jinudo.

To study the spatio-temperal distribution of the ichhyoplankton in the estuarine ecosystem, Ichthyoplankton were sampled with associated data on water temperature and salinity in Mankyong-Dongjin Estuary on October, 1989, and March, May and July, 1990. Water temperature varied seasonally, showing homogeneous spatial pattern. The spatial difference in splinty was determined by the amount of river runoff. Few Ichthyoplankton occurred in October and March. In May, Konosirus punctatus occupied most of the ichthyoplankton. In July, Sardinella zunasi, Engraulis japonica, Gobiidae, and Thrissa sp. were the dominant species. The eggs and larvae of Engraulis japonica were collected from the outer bay, while those of Konosirus punctatus predominated in the less saline inner bay. Konosirus punctatus. Sardinella zunasi, Gobiidae, and Thrissa sp. were the characteristic species of this estuary. They were considered to be spawned and grown during their early life stage in the less saline water.

We predicted to seasonal sediment transport pathway of the estuary area of the Nakdong river using the STA method. The eCSedtrend model was used to flexible application of the previous STA methods. The analysis of the seasonal interpretation of sediment transport pathway showed that the most dominant trend in the Nakdong estuary was CB+ and CB-. In case of CB+, it was identified around the area where the mud sediment was distributed and formed transport vector toward the north. Also, in case of CB-, it was identified mostly around the sand bar where the sand sediment was distributed and generally showed transport vector toward the north even though there was seasonal difference.

In this study, we carried out case study to predict dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of Nakdong river estuary with LSTM model. we aimed to figure out a optimal model condition and appropriate predictor for prediction in dissolved oxygen concentration with model parameter and predictor as cases. Model parameter case study results showed that Epoch = 300 and Sequence length = 1 showed higher accuracy than other conditions. In predictor case study, it was highest accuracy where DO and Temperature were used as a predictor, it was caused by high correlation between DO concentration and Temperature. From above results, we figured out an appropriate model condition and predictor for prediction in DO concentration of Nakdong river estuary.

울산광역시 울주군 온산읍에 위치한 회야강의 하구폐색은 1990년대 중반부터 주목을 받아서 연구 되어오고 있다. 하천의 하구에서는 일반적으로 파랑류, 취송류와 하천류 뿐 아니라 해류나 조류 등의 영향도 받는다. 회야강 하구는 이러한 흐름과 더불어 독특한 지형이 영향을 주어서 더욱 복잡한 흐름특성을 보인다. 이러한 복잡한 흐름의 영향으로 회야강 하구에서 사주가 강하게 발생하고 이로 인해서 하구폐색이 나타나고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 1997년부터 2004년 진하 방사제를 설치하였으나 이후에도 하구폐색이 계속 진행되었기 때문에 정기적인 준설로 하구폐색을 막고 있는 실정이다. 근본적으로 하구폐색을 막기 위해서 장기적인 관점에서 하상변동특성과 표사 및 유사의 이동 특성에 대한 과학적인 해석이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대상해역에 가장 큰 영향인자로 예상되는 하천류와 해빈류에 대해서 검토하였다. 하천류 검토를 위해서는 회야강에서 유출하는 유사량을 혼합입경의 관점에서 실험하였고, 도류제 설치 유무에 따른 하구역에서의 지형변동 및 하구폐색현상을 해석하였다. 해빈류 검토에서는 파랑에 의한 회야강 하구인근에서의 흐름장과 침퇴적 해석을 통해 하구 인근해역의 지형변동특성을 고찰하였다. 회야강 하구에서 혼합입경($d_{10}$, $d_{50}$, $d_{90}$)을 고려하여 하천류의 수치실험을 수행한 결과 유출시간의 경과에 따라 하구역의 하상고가 점차 상승하여 하구사주가 발달하고 이로인하여 하구폐색이 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 또 유송토사량에 대한 해석결과 홍수량 증가에 비례하여 유송토사량이 점차 증가하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 평수시에는 하천의 유출량이 미소하여 하구폐색현상의 주외력은 파랑에 의한 해빈류인 것으로 판단되며 이같은 외력조건에 의해 하구에서 연안사주 발생이 강하게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 파랑에 의한 해빈류가 회야강 하구에서 순환류의 형태로 나타나고 있으며, 이의 결과로 도류제 설치 후에도 하구부 인근해역에서 퇴적이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
