Tide-surge interaction during typhoon periods has been analyzed. The quantitative analysis of the Chi-square test shows that the interaction is most prominent at the Southwestern coast whereas the Western and the Southeastern regions are not. Patterns of surge type were divided into two groups, that is, steep type and mild type. Then, the interaction was turned out to be more prominent for mild type data. The weak interaction at the Western region is considered due to negative surges when the south-track typhoons attack. However, the interaction is remarkable when the west-track typhoons attack. The weak interaction at the Southeastern coast is, on the other hand, considered due to abundance of the steep type typhoons. Thus, inundation risk would be so apprehensive at that region because large-scale surge might be caused even at high tide.

Concrete structures immersed in seawater are exposed to uniform chloride concentration. However, seashore concrete structures are subjected to various airborne chlorides concentration depending on areas, distance from seashore, orientation of structures and wind direction etc. Therefore, structures which is not coming into direct contact with seawater are greatly affected by salt attack and those cases have been reported. This study intends to investigate salt attack by airborne chlorides in terms of the distance from the seashore based on the measurements conducted at 73 spots and 27 areas during 3 years in the Eastern, Western and Southern coasts of South Korea. Results revealed large regional variations of the salinity in coastal regions along with significant seasonal effects caused by seasonal winds. Moreover, the salinity is seen to diminish as the distance from the seashore increases at a rate corresponding to the function $y=ax^{-b}$. These results will be helpful to do the durability design and management of seashore structures.

The aim of this study is to analyze the short-term changes of beach and dune morphology at Hwajin beach, Korea using by terrestrial LIDAR. Based on ArcInfo as point cloud obtained through precise analyzing studying area twice (1st : Sep 1. 2010, 2nd : Oct 2nd. 2010) by terrestrial LIDAR, alteration of beach and dune was analyzed at DEM, of which cell size is about 10cm. Consequently, during the studying period, coastlines at studying area moved backward and reduced the area of coastal zone. In a section change, the north beach moved backward with more eroded beach face and the middle section of south beach moved forward with more deposited beach face. Considering all the section changes of beach at studying area, beach section during the 1st measurement period can be defined as a summer profile, and it can be explained that the temporary storm profile was formed by the strong wave created during studying period. As a result of analyzing the alteration of beach area by terrestrial LIDAR, alteration of narrow area was able to be analyzed in detail by class of 'centimeter' and the time was able to be shortened.

Fe compounds of scoria samples distributed in the western seaside area of Jeju island were investigated by means of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRD), X-ray diffractometry (XRF) and $^{57}Fe$ Mossbauer spectroscopy. The samples were prepared from five parasite volcanos. We found that the samples were a typical basalt from the contents ratio of $SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3$ and Fe, and that they were silicate minerals. Underwater volcanoes scoria samples are shown only doublets in Mossbauer spectra and others scoria samples are shown sextets due to hematite and magnetite. And the balence state of Fe in the underwater volcanoes scoria samples are chiefly 2+ charge state with a little of the 2+ charge state. But the balence state of Fe in the others scoria samples are chiefly 3+ charge state.

Kozeny-Carman equation has been generally applied to prediction of permeability for soil. The Kozeny-Carman equation has indicated fairly good results in prediction of sandy soils, but it is known that the equation is not appropriate for fine-grained soils such as cohesive soils. Therefore, a theoretical equation based on Kozeny-Carman equation is proposed to predict of permeability for cohesive soils in this paper. To develop the theoretical equation, soil properties of cohesive soil existed in the coastal areas and compacted cohesive soil used for the core of a dam were investigated and analyzed. As the results of this limited study, the most related factors between soil properties and permeability were #200 passing percentage for compacted cohesive soil, and clay content for cohesive soil at the coast areas.

The dilution and the shore attachment of buoyant effluent into a crossflow are investigated experimentally. The effluent is produced by discharging warm water through a side channel into an open channel crossflow with the same depth to the side channel flow. Buoyancy causes the effluent to lift off the bottom, spreads across the crossflow and stays as the surface layer. The geometry of the recirculating region and the dilution of the effluent depend mainly on the buoyancy. The condition of the shore attachment can be specified by the ratios of velocities and Froude numbers.

A research on extracting croplands located nearby coastal areas using the spatial information data sets is the important task for managing the agricultural products in coastal areas. This research aims to extract the various croplands(croplands on mountains and croplands on plain areas) located nearby coastal areas using the KOMPSAT-2 imagery, the high-resolution satellite imagery, and the airborne topographic LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) data acquired in coastal areas of Uljin, Korea. Firstly, the NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) imagery is generated from the KOMPSAT-2 imagery, and the vegetation areas are extracted from the NDVI imagery by using the appropriate threshold. Then, the DSM(Digital Surface Model) and DEM(Digital Elevation Model) are generated from the LiDAR data by using interpolation method, and the CHM(Canopy Height Model) is generated using the differences of the pixel values of the DSM and DEM. Then the plain areas are extracted from the CHM by using the appropriate threshold. The low slope areas are also extracted from the slope map generated using the pixel values of the DEM. Finally, the areas of intersection of the vegetation areas, the plain areas and the low slope areas are extracted with the areas higher than the threshold and they are defined as the croplands located nearby coastal areas. The statistical results show that 85% of the croplands on plain areas and 15% of the croplands on mountains located nearby coastal areas are extracted by using the proposed methodology.

Time series of the relative sea levels at the selected tide-gauge stations in the North Pacific and historical aerial photographs in the Hawaiian Islands are analyzed. Long-term rising trend of sea level ranges from +1 to +5 mm/yr at most of the stations, which is primarily due to global warming and tectonic motion of the plates. The annual and interannual fluctuations of sea level result from the thermal expansion/contraction of sea-surface layer due to the annual change of the solar radiation and possibly from a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon associated with an ENSO event, respectively. Sea-level changes in three different time-scales (linear trend. annual oscillation, and interannual fluctuation) and their quantitative contribution to the shoreline changes as a result of long-term cross-shore sediment transport arc hypothesized.

일산 이산포 BH-4 발굴단면의 퇴적물 시료로부터 화분 포자 및 담수성과 해양성조류화석이 다양하고 풍부하게 산출되었다. 산출된 식물기원 미화석 중, 목본화분 $25{\sim}60%$, 초본화분 $15{\sim}70%$ 그리고 포자 $4{\sim}30%$ 각각 구성 되었다. 또한 담수성 조류(freshwater algae)는 전체 단면구간에서 산출된 반면, 와편모류(dinoflagellate), 아크리타치(acritarch)와 같은 해양성조류(marine algae)는 하부단면구간(절대고도: 3.31-2.74 m)에서만 산출되었다. 산출된 화분 포자 및 통계처리기법(CONISS)을 이용하여 2개의 지역화분대 (local pollen a assemblage zone) 및 4개의 아화분대(local pollen assemblage subzone)가 설정되었다. 제I화분대(시료 $Al-2{\sim}A6-1$, 고도 $2.70{\sim}3.31\;m$)는 다시 제Ia아화분대(시료 $Al-2{\sim}A3-1$, 고도 $2.70{\sim}3.00\;m$)와 제Ib아화분대(시료 $A4-2{\sim}A6-1$, 고도 $3.01{\sim}3.31\;m$)로 세분되었으며; 제II화분대(시료 $A7-2{\sim}A10-1$, 고도 $3.32{\sim}3.72\;m$) 역시 두개의 아화분대인 제IIa(시료 $A7-2{\sim}A8-1$, 고도 $3.32{\sim}3.51\;m$)와 제lIb(시료 $A9-2{\sim}A10-1$, 고도 $3.53{\sim}3.72\;m$)로 이루어졌다. 화분군집조성에 의하면, 미화석들이 퇴적되었던 시기동안에 2개의 산림(forest)형태가 발달했던 나타났다. 제I화분대(고도, $3.31{\sim}2.74\;m$)의 시기동안에는 침엽수와 낙엽활엽수로 이루어진 혼합림으로, 주요 식생은 2엽소나 무(Diploxylon), 가문비((Picea), 낙엽송(Larix)의 침엽수와 참나무(Quercus), 자작나무(Betula), 개암나무(Corylus), 중국굴피 나무속(Pterocarya)의 낙엽활엽수 등이 산악-구릉지에서 주로 서식하였던 것으로 나타났다. 또한 습생나무인 오리나무(Alnus), 버드나무(Salix)등과 해안가 등지에서 잘 서식하는 양치식물과 사초과(Cyperaceae), 명아주과(Chenopodiaceae) 같은 풀들이 하구언(estuary)의 해안가에 주로 서식하였던 것으로 나타났다. 이 시기동안에 해양성조류인 와편모류와 담수성 조류가 동시에 다양하게 산출되는 것은 하구언 퇴적환경이었음을 잘 지시해 준다. 제II화분대(고도, 43.72{\sim}3.36\;m$)가 시작되면서 혼합림은 침엽수림으로 바뀌었으며, 낙엽활엽수들의 서식지가 2엽소나무로 대치되면서 침엽수가 주요 수종을 이루었던 것으로 나타났다. 아마도 이런 산림형태는 자연 기후환경변화 뿐만 아니라 인간간섭에 의해 나타난 결과로 생각된다. 이 시기에 경작식물인 벼과(Gramineae), 옥수수(Zea), 메밀(Fagopyrum)과 논밭의 뚝 등지 에서 서식하는 돼지풀(Ambrosia) 등이 처음으로 산출되는 것으로 보아 인간간섭이 행해졌음을 잘 뒷 받침해준다. 또한 담수성 조류는 변함없이 산출되는 반면, 해양성조류인 와편모류가 산출되지 않는 것으로 보아 해안환경에서 다소 멀 어진 저지대의 습윤한 충적대지환경으로 변하였던 것으로 판단된다.
