Influence of the increasing carbon dioxide concentration in seawater on various marine organisms is assessed in this article with regard to the impacts of anthropogenic $CO_2$ introduced into surface or deep oceans. Recent proposals to sequester $CO_2$ in deep oceans arouse the concerns of adverse effects of increased $CO_2$ concentration on deep-sea organisms. Atmospheric introduction of $CO_2$ into the ocean can also acidify the surface water, thereby the population of some sensitive organisms including coral reefs, cocolithophorids and sea urchins will be reduced considerably in near future (e.g. in 2100 unless the increasing trend of $CO_2$ emission is actively regulated). We exposed bioluminescent bacteria and benthic amphipods to varying concentrations of $CO_2$ and also pH for a short period. The ${\sim}l.5$ unit decrease of pH adversely affected test organisms. However, amphipods were not influenced by decreasing pH when HCl was used for the seawater acidification. In this article, we reviewed the biological adverse effects of $CO_2$ on various marine organisms studied so for. Theses results will be useful to predict the potential risks of the increase of $CO_2$ concentrations in seawater due to the increase of atmospheric $CO_2$ emission and/or sequestration of $CO_2$ in deep oceans.

기존 수자원계획에 있어서 수문량 예측은 매우 제한적으로 활용되고 있는 실정으로서 최근 기후변화 및 이상기후로 기인하는 기상학적 불확실성 증가에 대해서 효과적으로 대응 하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 기상인자를 활용한 수문변량 예측기법을 개발하고자 하며 국내에 수문자료가 충분한 지역에 대해서 모형의 적합성과 타당성을 평가하고자 한다. 대부분의 수문변량은 해수면온도, 해수면기압, 바람장 등 Large Scale의 기상학적 특성과 연관성을 가지고 있으며 선행시간을 가지고 수문순환에 영향을 주고 있다. 수문변량과 기상학적 변량사이에는 일반적으로 비선형 관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 알려지고 있으며 이러한 비선형 관계를 효과적으로 예측하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 비선형 예측모형을 개발 하고자 한다. 최근 비선형 예측모형에서 불확실성을 고려한 모형에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 특히, 다중 모형을 사용한 Ensemble 개념의 예측모형 도입이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 다목적댐 유입량 및 강수량에 대해서 최적 기상변량을 도출하고 이를 활용한 비선형 Ensemble 예측모형을 개발하였다. 일반적인 선형 회귀분석 모형에 비해 기상현상과 수문현상에 비선형성을 효과적으로 재현할 수 있는 장점을 확인할 수 있었으며 이와 더불어 예측결과에 대한 불확실성을 제공함으로서 신뢰성 있는 수자원 계획을 위한 기초자료로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to reconstruct sea level change and paleogeomorphology since the middle Holocene by diatom analysis and 14C-dating from the sedimentary facies of three trenches on alluvial plain of Taehwa River, Taehwa-dong, Ulsan-si, South Korea. The Taewha-dong area was a narrow bay located between Bangeojin and eatuary of Taehwa River was a narrow bay which has been detached from the open sea during middle Holocene. Taewa-dong area at bay area was developed into alluvial plain by the sediments had been come from the Taewa river basin. The sea level change during the middle Holocene effected on the development of Taewha-dong alluvial plain and its information is included in the sediment facies.

Here, we generated maps of primary production in the coastal waters of the East Sea using sea surface chlorophyll-a concentrations (CHL), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), euphotic depth induced by GOCI along with sea surface temperature (SST) from satellites of foreign countries as input parameters, and carried out a sensitivity analysis for each parameters. On 25th of July in 2013 when a wide cold waters appeared and on 13th of August in 2013 when a big harmful algal bloom existed in the study area, it shows high productivities with averages 1,012 and 1,945 mg C m^-2 d^-1, respectively. On August 25, 2013, when the cold waters and red tide retreated, it showed an average of 778 m^-2 d^-1, similar to the results of the previous analysis. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, PAR did not significantly affect the results of the primary production, but the euphotic depth and CHL showed aboveaverage sensitivity. In particular, SST had a large influence to the results, thus we could imply that an error in SST could lead to a large error in the primary production. This study showed that GOCI data was available for primary production study, and the accuracy of input parameters might be improved by applying GOCI, which can acquire images 8 times a day, making it more accurate than foreign polar orbit satellites and consequently, it is possible to estimate highly accurately primary production.

The Present study has been carried out to investigate the effect of refrigerated seawater (RSW) at $-1^{\circ}C$ in order to delay spoilage and extend the shelf-life in Sardine(Sardinops melanosticta). The result obtained are summarized as follows : In case of freshness, K-value was shown above $30\%$ at 1 day of storage by icing, but in RSW system was shown $20\%$ until 2 days by storage. VBN and TMA were also shown the similar tendency when compared to K-value. The lipids extracted from sardine muscle held in ice was oxidized much more than those in RSW system by way of chemical test such as TBA and POV. The myofibrillar protein extracted from sardine stored in RSW system was denaturized more slowly compared with those by ice. $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ activity indicated that myofibrillar protein held in RSW system was more stable than those held in ice. Total viable counts for sardine in RSW system showed an overall lower values. By TPA(Textural Porfile Analysis) , sardine meat pastes held in RSW system have a higher value than those held in ice.

Analysis of high-resolution seismic profiles and sediment data from the southeastern continental shelf of Korea reveals that the late Quaternary deposits consist of a set of lowstand (LST), transgressive (TST), and highstand systems tracts (HST) that corresponds to the sea-level change after the Last Glacial Maximum. LST (Unit I) above the sequence boundary consists of sandy mud or muddy sand deposited during the last glacial period and is confined to the shelf margin and trough region. TST (Unit II) between transgressive surface and maximum flooding surface consists of sandy sediments deposited during the postglacial transgression (15,000-6,000 yr BP). Although TST is widely distributed on the shelf, it is much thinner than LST and HST. On the basis of distribution pattern, TST can be divided into three sub-units: early TST (Unit IIa) on the shelf margin, middle TST (Unit IIb) on the mid-shelf, and late TST (Unit IIc) on the inner shelf, respectively. These are characterized by a backstepping depositional arrangement. HST(Unit III) above the maximum flooding surface is composed of the fine-grained sediments deposited during the last 6000 yrs when sea level was close to the present level and its distribution is restricted to the inner shelf along the coast.

전곡리 일대는 화산지형, 단층지형, 구석기 문화연구 등 여러 분야의 학문적 관심이 집중된 지역이다. 본 연구는 박편 분석, 물리화학 광물분석등이 수단을 활용하여 전곡리 용 암대지를 덮고 있는 피복물의 형성과 퇴적 후의 변화과정을 밝히려고 한 것이다, 여기서 다 음과 같은 사실을 밝힐수 있었다. 전곡리 용암대지는 Riss-Wrm 간빙기에는 별로개석되 지 않았다가 Wrm 빙가에 들어와 인근 황해의 해수면이 낮아지면서 개석된 것으로 추정 된다. 그리고 Wrm빙기 전기간에 걸쳐 용암대지에는 건육화된 황해와 인근 하천(한강, 임 진강) 범람원에서 바람에 의해 날려온 미립물질이 약 8m 이상 퇴적되었다. Wrm 빙기후 기에는 이풍적토(Loess)가 여름에도 녹지 않는 결빙층이 발달했을정도의 한랭 습윤했던 기 후의 영향을 받았다, 이로 인해 일련의 크랙(엽상구조를 이루는 수평크랙과 불규칙한 수직 방향크랙)들이 발달했고 풍적 물질의 미시적 조직과 구조도 많이 변화했다. 또한 결빙작용 으로 변형된 구조의 규제를 받으며 gleyzation 이 진전되었다. 단면 관찰에서 회백색 얼룩과 붉은 또는 검붉은 얼룩이 복잡하게 섞여 있는 모습은 바로 이것이 진전된 결과이다, 그간 발굴된 구석기 유물들은 결빙구조 및 gleyzation의 흔적이 잘 나타나는 부의에서 출토되었 다, 이사실은 본 지역의 구석기 인류가 생활했던 시기는 Wrm 빙기에서도 이러한 한랭 기후가 있기 이전이었음을 시사한다.

Sea water level variations are generally influenced by a variety of factors such as tides, meteorological forces, water temperature, salinity, wave, and topography, etc. Among non-tidal conditions, atmospheric pressure is one of the major factors causing water level changes. In the East Sea, due to small tidal range which is opposite to large tidal range of the Yellow Sea, it is difficult to predict water level changes using a numerical model, which consider tidal forcing only. This study focuses on the effects of atmospheric pressure variations on sea level predictions along the eastern coast of Korea. Telemac-2D model is simulated with the Inverted Barometer Effect(IBE), and then its results are analyzed. In comparison between observed data and predictions, the correlation of prediction with IBE and tide is better than that of tide-only case. Therefore, IBE is strongly suggested to be considered for the numerical simulations of sea level changes in the East Sea.

The data of Secchi disc observation collected during $1966\~1990$ were analyzed to investigate the seasonal variation of transparency in the southeastern Yellow Sea. The bimonthly distribution of mean transparency showed that the isolines of transparency were roughly parallel to the isobaths. The transparency was low (3 m in february and 8 m in August) if the shallow water less than 20 m depth in comparition to the higher values (10 m in february and 17 m in August) in the deeper water. The lowest transparency was found in winter. The transparency increased in spring and the highest transparency occurred in summer. The water becomes turbid in autumn. Suspended solid concentrations in winter are ranged from 28 to 130 $mg/{\ell}$, and from 8 to 60 $mg/{\ell}$ in summer. The seasonal variation of transparency seems to be mainly affected by resuspension of solid from the bottom. The amounts of suspended solid are large in winter due to the vertical convection by cooling effect and tubulence by the strong wind, and small in summer due to the strong stratification and weak wind.

Mean sea level has recently been rising due to global warming causing coastal erosion. As Korea is peninsula, the land loss due to coastal erosion is critical. An approach in this study is cementing the coastal area using bacteria, which is called microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). This study tried to see how fresh water and sea water work with MICP as a solvent. Ureolytic activity during the MICP reaction was measured with deionized and sea water. A soil column was prepared to evaluate the strength of MICP-treated sand. Sands were treated by MICP with surface percolation method. As the treatmen t style was different with other conventional methods, several methods were proposed to properly evaluate the MICP-treated sand surface. A micro-scale evaluation was performed to assess the mineral structure treated by different solvents. As results, sea water rendered the ureolytic reaction slower. A needle penetrometer worked well to evaluate the MICP-treated sand surface. This study confirmed the utilization of sea water is feasible as the solvent of MICP.
