Gunsan-Janghang Harbor is located at the mouth of Gum River, on the central west coast of Korea The harbor and coastal boundaries are protected from the effects of the open ocean by natural coastal islands and shoals due to depositions from the river, and two breakwaters. The navigation channel commences at the gap formed by the outer breakwater and extends through a bay via a long channel formed by an isolated jetty. For better understanding and analysis of wave transformation process where a wide coastline changes appear due to on-going reclamation works, we applied the spectral wave model including wind effect to the related site, together with the energy balance models. This paper summarizes comparisons of coastal responses predicted by several numerical wave predictions obtained at the coastal waters near Gunsan-Janghang Harbor. Field and numerical model investigations were initially conducted for the original navigation channel management project. We hope to contribute from this study that coastal engineers are able to use safety the numerical models in the area of port and navigational channel design.

A eukaryotic microalga was isolated from seawater in Janghang Harbor, Korea and its morphological, molecular, and physiological characteristics were investigated. Due to its simple morphology, no distinctive characters were found by morphological observation, such as light microscope or scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM). However, molecular phylogenetic evidence inferred from the concatenated small subunit (SSU) 18S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data indicated that the isolate belonged to the newly described Micractinium singularis. Furthermore, it was clustered with Antarctic Micractinium strains and it also showed a psychrotolerant property, surviving at temperatures as low as 5℃. However, its optimal growth temperatures range from 15℃ to 25℃, indicating that this microalga is a mesophile. Additionally, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis showed that the isolate was rich in nutritionally important omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis (HPLC) revealed that the high-value antioxidant lutein was biosynthesized as an accessory pigment by this microalga, with glucose as the major monosaccharide. Therefore, in this study, a Korean marine M. singularis species was discovered, characterized, and described. It was subsequently added to the national culture collections.

새만금방조제 축조 전 후 금강하구의 조류 변화와 잔차류특성, 금강의 부유사 유입에 의한 퇴적 과정을 알아보았다. 잔차류는 새만금방조제 축조 전후 금강 하구역의 조석잔차류와 관측된 수온 염분, 바람자료를 이용하여 계산하였다. 계산에 의한 퇴적과정은 잔차류와 입자의 침강속도를 고려하여 Euler Lagrange 방법으로 부유사의 분산 퇴적과정을 3차원 수치 실험에 의하여 재현하였다. 토립자(土粒子)의 중앙입경은 $150{\mu}m$, $300{\mu}m$, $400{\mu}m$의 경우에 대하여 적용하였다. 토립자(土粒子)의 분포사항은 금강하구둑에서 토립자(土粒子) 방류후 24시간과 72시간에 대하여 알아보았다. 그 결과 봄에 관측한 수온 염분, 바람, 조석응력을 이용하여 계산한 잔차류의 특성은 상층에서 만경강과 동진강 하구역에서 시계방향의 흐름분포를 나타내었다. 그리고 하구특성의 하나인 밀도류에 의한 흐름은 하구 쪽 방향으로 아주 작은 분포를 하고 있었다. 부유사의 분산 퇴적과정을 수치실험 한 결과 24시간후의 퇴적분포는 대부분 금강하구와 장항해역에서 퇴적분포를 나타내고 있었으나 72시간 후에는 금강하구와 장항해역, 만경강과 동진강하구까지 퇴적분포를 나타내었다.
