We used numerical models to reliably analyze the groundwater flow and hydraulic conductivity on Jeju Island. To increase reliability, improvements were made to model application factors such as hydraulic watershed classification, groundwater recharge calculation by precipitation, hydraulic conduction calculation using the pilot point method, and expansion of the observed groundwater level. Analysis of groundwater flow showed that the model-calculated water level was similar to the observed value. However, the Seogwi and West Jeju watersheds showed large differences in groundwater level. These areas need to be analyzed by segmenting the distribution of the hydraulic conductivity. Analyzing the groundwater flow in a sub watershed showed that groundwater flow was similar to values from equipotential lines; therefore, the reliability of the analysis results could be improved. Estimation of hydraulic conductivity distribution according to the results of the groundwater flow simulation for all areas of Jeju Island showed hydraulic conductivity > 100 m/d in the coastal area and 1 - 45 m/d in the upstream area. Notably, hydraulic conductivity was 500 m/d or above in the lowlands of the eastern area, and it was relatively high in some northern and southern areas. Such characteristics were found to be related to distribution of the equipotential lines and type of groundwater occurrence.

With the increasing demand for improved marine environments and safety, greater ability to minimize damages to coastal areas from harmful organisms, ship accidents, oil spills, etc. is required. In this regard, an accurate assessment and understanding of current systems is a crucial step to improve forecasting ability. In this study, we examine spatial and temporal characteristics of current systems in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island using a high-resolution regional ocean circulation model. Our model successfully captures the features of tides and tidal currents observed around Jeju Island. The tide form number calculated from the model result ranges between 0.3 and 0.45 in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island, indicating that the dominant type of tides is a combination of diurnal and semidiurnal, but predominantly semidiurnal. The spatial pattern of tidal current ellipses show that the tidal currents oscillate in a northwest-southeast direction and the rotating direction is clockwise in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island and counterclockwise in the Jeju Strait. Compared to the mean kinetic energy, the contribution of tidal current energy prevails the most parts of the region, but largely decreases in the eastern seas of Jeju Island where the Tsushima Warm Current is dominant. In addition, a Lagrangian particle-tracking experiment conducted suggests that particle trajectories in tidal currents flowing along the coast may differ substantially from the mean current direction. Thus, improving our understanding of tidal currents is essential to forecast the transport of marine pollution and harmful organisms in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island.

Background: This work was to get information about $^{90}Sr$ contamination of the environment by using soil and moss from selected areas in Jeju Island, Korea. Materials and Methods: The activities of $^{90}Sr$ in soil and moss samples were investigated at nine locations of Jeju island, Korea. The soil samples have been collected at 4 sites of Jeju island during June to August of 2013, analyzed for vertical distribution of $^{90}Sr$ activities. The moss samples have been collected at 5 sites of Jeju island during November of 2011 to June of 2012, and analyzed for radioactive $^{90}Sr$. Results and Discussion: The $^{90}Sr$ vertical concentrations in the investigated soil samples were 2.77 to $18.24Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in eastern part, 1.69 to $18.27Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in northern part, 3.76 to $13.46Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in the western part and 1.09 to $8.70Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in the southern part of the Mt. Halla in Jeju island, respectively. Activities of $^{90}Sr$ show the highest value at the surface soil and decrease with depth. The activity concentration measured was in the range of 79.6 to $363Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ -dry moss. Conclusion: This material is expected to be basis reference for survey of environmental radioactivity in Jeju Island.

본 연구에서는 제주도 전역에 대해 발생하고 있는 지하수위 저하 현상의 원인을 평가하기 위한 분석이 실시되었다. 이를 위해 지하수위, 강수, 지하수 이용량 시계열 자료 및 토지 이용에 대한 정보를 취득하고 이들 간의 상관성을 분석하여 지하수위 저하 원인을 파악하고자 하였다. 반응표면 분석법 및 민감도 분석법을 이용하여 지역별 강수 및 지하수 이용량 변화가 지하수위 변동에 미치는 영향력을 정량화하였으며, 획득된 영향력 지도 및 다양한 공간통계 자료를 비교 분석함으로써 지하수위 하강 원인을 분석하고, 이를 통해 지역별 지하수량 관리를 위한 방안을 고찰하였다. 분석 결과, 서부지역의 지하수위 하강률이 동부지역에 비하여 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 특히, 서부지역은 지하수 이용량이 지하수위 변동에 큰 영향력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 동부지역의 경우, 지하수위 변동에 대한 강수의 영향력이 크게 나타났으며, 지하수위 저하율은 상대적으로 작게 나타나고 있다. 하지만, 강수량 대비 지하수 이용량의 증가율이 서부지역에 비하여 빠르게 발생하고 있고, 동부지역의 넓은 기저 지하수대 형성 양상 및 해수 침투가 지속적으로 보고되고 있는 점에서 미루어 보았을 때, 지하수 이용량이 증가함에 따라 지하수의 절대량은 줄어들었음에도 염수압으로 인하여 지하수위 저하가 크지 않은 것처럼 나타났을 가능성이 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 이를 종합하였을 때, 서부지역에 대한 지하수량 관리를 위해서는 강수 및 지하수 이용량에 대한 정보가 필수적으로 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단되며, 동부지역은 이 외 광역적인 수리학적 스트레스를 가할 수 있는 요소(해수면 변동, 염수-담수 경계 위치, 등)에 대한 면밀한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 동부 및 서부지역의 지하수위의 변동 특징이 비교적 뚜렷하게 구분됨에 따라 보다 효율적 지하수량 관리를 위해 각 지역에 최적화된 관리 방안이 제시 및 적용되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The SWAT model developed by the USDA-Agricultural Research service for the prediction of rainfall run-off, sediment, and chemical yields in a basin was applied to Jeju Island watershed to estimate the amount of runoff. The research outcomes revealed that the estimated amount of runoff for the long term on 2 water-sheds showed fairly good performance by the long-term daily runoff simulation. The watershed of Chunmi river located the eastern region in Jeju Island, after calibrations of direct runoff data of 2 surveys, showed the similar values to the existing watershed average runoff rate as 22% of average direct runoff rate for the applied period. The watershed of Oaedo river located the northern region showed $R^2$ of 0.93, RMSE of 14.92 and ME of 0.70 as the result of calibrations by runoff data in the occurrence of 7 rainfalls.

To evaluate the available groundwater supply to the agricultural water demand in the future with the climate change scenarios for 40 sub-regions in Jeju Island, groundwater recharge and the available groundwater supply were estimated using water balance analysis method. Groundwater recharge was calculated by subtracting the actual evapotranspiration and direct runoff from the total amount of water resources and available groundwater supply was set at 43.6% from the ratio of the sustainable groundwater capacity to the groundwater recharge. According to the RCP 4.5 scenario, the available groundwater supply to the agricultural water demand is estimated to be insufficient in 2020 and 2025, especially in the western and eastern regions of the island. However, such a water shortage problem is alleviated in 2030. When applying the RCP 8.5 scenario, available groundwater supply can't meet the water demand over the entire decade.

A study on seasonal characteristics of phytoplankton dynamics and environmental factors was carried out at four stations including Mara-do and U-do located in the western and eastern coast of Jeju Island in southern Korea from April 2003 to March 2004. Out of 101 phytoplankton species identified, 84 belong to Bacillariophyceae, 9 Dinophyceae, 6 phytoflagellates and 2 coccolithophorids, and the highest value of species diversity was observed in April. Phytoplankton was more abundant at the western coast than at the eastern coast from March to September and its highest abundance was 49.24 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cells L$^{-1}$ at Mara-do in July. The pennate diatoms were more abundant at the western coast than at the eastern coast with the highest abundance of 38.75 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cells L$^{-1}$ at Mara-do in July, and during this period Nitzschia longissima contributed 68.5% of the total phytoplankton abundance. Naviculaceae was more abundant at Gosan (western coast) in November when Stauroneis membranacea represented 80.1% of the abundance. Leptocylindrus dances contributed 49.4% of the abundance at U-do in November. Dinophyceae was more abundant at U-do in August. Water temperature and pH fluctuated from 11.7${^{\circ}C}$ to 27.1${^{\circ}C}$ and from 7.31 to 8.70, respectively. Water temperature of Mara-do was about 1-2${^{\circ}C}$ higher than the other stations. Salinity varied from 30.4 to 35.0 psu with the minimum in rainy season and the maximum at the end of winter. The concentration of NH$_4$-N, NO$_3$-N, NO$_2$-N, PO$_4$-P and SiO$_2$-Si ranged 0.07-6.79, 1.0-62.0, 1.0-8.0, 1.0-7.0 and 7.0-191.0 $\mu$g-at L$^{-1}$, respectively. Chlorophyll a concentrations varied from 0.10 to 1.17 $\mu$g L$^{-1}$. NH$_4$-N concentrations were high at U-do from May to December, and at Mara-do from January to February. The high concentrations of NO$_3$-N were found at Mara-do from June to September and at U-do from January to May. The effects of various physicochemical parameters on the seasonal distribution and succession of phytoplankton population suggest that there is a classical pattern of phytoplankton dynamics in Jeju coastal waters.

제주도 동남부의 전기비저항 구조 및 지하수 분포 형태를 조사하기 위해 제주도 중산간에서 남동방향으로 해안 지역을 횡단하는 두 측선에 대해 인공송신원 자기지전류탐사를 수행하였다. 측점들이 위치한 지질학적 상황을 고려하여 세 종류의 일차원 역산 기법을 도입하였고, 해석의 신뢰성 향상을 위해 각 역산 결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 이 과정으로부터 도출된 제주 동남부의 개략적인 전기비저항 구조는 고비저항-저비저항-보다 저비저항을 갖는 3층 구조였다. 역산 결과와 측점 부근의 심부 시추 자료의 비교를 통해 제주도 동남부의 각 층별 암상이 개략적으로 추정되었다: 지질학적 층서의 관점에서 제 1층과 2층은 두께 100-250m의 현무암층에, 제 3층은 서귀포층 및 U층에 대응하는데, 서귀포층의 두께는 조사심도가 충분히 깊지 않고 서귀포층과 U층의 전기비저항 차이가 작기 때문에 추정할 수 없었다. 그러나 주대수층과 밀접하게 관련 있는 서귀포층은 제주도 동남부 지역의 경우 중산간 지역부터 해안 지역까지 뚜렷한 공간적 연속성을 보여주었다.
