지음향 모델링은 퇴적층과 기반암의 해저 지층을 통해 전파되는 음파 특성을 예측하기 위해 사용된다. 이 연구는 동해 한국대륙주변부의 정동진 해역에서 50 m 퇴적층 심도의 4개 지음향 모델을 구성하였다. 지층 모델은 고해상 에어건 탄성파 자료, SBP 자료, 퇴적물 코어에 근거한다. P파 속도는 신호투과법에 의해 측정되었고, 압전기 트랜스듀서의 공진 중심 주파수는 1 MHz를 유지하였다. 42개 P파 속도와 41개 음감쇠 측정이 세 개 코어 퇴적물에서 수행되었다. 실제 모델링을 위해, 모델의 P파 속도는 Hamilton 방법을 이용하여 해저면 아래 현장 심도 속도로 보정하였다. 연안 지층의 이 지음향 모델은 동해 정동진 해역에서 지음향 특성의 수직/수평 변화를 반영하는 지음향/수중음향 실험을 위해 활용될 것이다.

정동진 지역 단구를 피복하고 있는 고토양층은 배수가 잘 되지만 주기적으로 물에 잠기는 환경에서 형성되었다고 추정된다. 4.5m에 달하는 퇴적단면에서는 모두 6개의 층이 관찰된다. 고토양의 입자는 주로 점토 및 실트 크기이나 부분적으로 모래 크기 입자의 우점 구간이 있다. 주요 구성 광물은 석영, 장석, 운모와 녹니석이다. 고토양의 지화학적 조성은 전 층에 걸쳐 큰 차이가 없으나 화학적 풍화지수는 깊이에 따른 변화를 보여준다. 대자율의 변화는 토양층의 변화와 일치하는 양상이다. 고토양층의 상부 50cm에는 토양쐐기 층이 발달해 있고, 이 층준에서는 약 25,000년 전 분출한 AT 화산재 입자가 집중적으로 발견된다. 고토양층 하부의 사력층에서는 약 11만년의 OSL 연대가 얻어졌다.

Chemical composition of fine sediments from Jeongdongjin area are analyzed with XRF method. The results are compared with previously reported results of sandstones of the nearest Simgok port. The weight percentage of $SiO_2$ of the samples are far lower than those of sandstones of Simgok. It is supposed to be happened by the selective elution of $SiO_2$ from the sediment layer of coastal terrace, as there's no evidence of selective input or precipitation of other elements from outside. As a result of chemical alteration or weathering of sediment at coastal terrace, weight percentage of $Al_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$ of samples show far higher values than those of Simgok sandstone. In addition, the relative portion of $Al_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$ are decreased to upward within outcrop of terrace sediment layers. It could be caused by the chemical weathering progress with time. However Chemical Index of alteration(CIA) of sediment samples are no larger than 90 and it could be interpreted that it would take over 100ka for total weathering of sediment in this area. Meanwhile the ratio of $SiO_2/Al2O_3$ of terrace sediment showed as 3.48~6.0 and it is far smaller than those of Simgok sandstones(23.9~49.0). The ratio of $SiO_2/Fe_2O_3$ of terrace sediment(19.19~55.85) showed similar pattern with $SiO_2/Al2O_3$ (Simgok sanstone: 119.6~601.8). The ratios have a weak trend of decreasing upwards within the outcrop, there also a huge difference in value among the samples. Chemical composition of reddish brown and gray layers which suspected as the result of psudogleization reveals that reddish brown parts have higher concentration of $Fe_2O_3$ than other parts, while there was no significant difference in concentration of $Al_2O_3$ and CaO.

At the upper part of terrace deposits at Jeongdongjin area, there is a structure in which reddish brown and grayish white layers laying horizontally. Previous studies have reported the existence of these structures within the deposits and suggested the theoretical background related to the formation process. However, the analysis of physical properties and chemical composition such as particle size, classification, etc. of the materials constituting the reddish brown and grayish white layers is scarcely done. In this study, the physico - chemical properties of gray - white and reddish brown beds are investigated. The mean grain size of the particles was less than $4{\varphi}$ in both layers and the reddish brown layer was more coarse. The results shows that the sorting of the grayish white layer is better. The chemical composition of both layers shows that the average concentration of $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $K_2O$ of the grayish white layer was higher than those of the reddish brown layer. The concentration of $Fe_2O_3$ of reddish brown lyaer was 3 times higher than those of the grayish white layer. The degree of chemical weathering (CIA) is 90 or so in both the reddish brown and grayish white layers, indicating a significant level of chemical weathering. In conclusion, reddish brown layers had been formed by the processes related to the migration of iron and the migration of water that induced aggregation after the formation of sediments (psudo-gleization). In this study area, a vertical layer of grayish white which cuts off horizontal reddish brown and grayish white color was found. The vertical layer or wedge similar to a ice-wedge or columnar structure that in a cold environment, and there is a difference in shape and size. The vertical layer appears to have occurred three or more cycles. The vertical layers begin to form at a certain height within the outcrop and descend downwards, which of course is difficult to see as directing certain times.

정동진, 대진 지역에는 규모가 큰 해안단구 고위면이 형성되어 있을 뿐 아니라. 우리나라 중부 동해안에서 처음으로 구정선고도의 해발고도가 고위면보다 높은 고고위면이 확인되었다. 해안단구의 구정선고도는 고고위 I면(HH I) 해발고도 140m. 고고위 II교면(HH II) 110m, 고위 I면 90m, 고위 II면 70m, 중위면 40m, 저위 I면 25m, 저위 II면dl 10m이다. 그리고 홀로세에 형성된 것으로 추정되는 해발고도 5~6m의 가장 낮은 해안단구가 연구지역 전체에서 나타난다. 고고위면은 인근의 삼척 오십천 해면변동단구와 남동해안 감포지역에서 확인되는 고고위 면과 같은 시기에 형성된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이것은 연구 지역의 해안단구 형성체계가 이들 지역의 그것과 거의 같은 데서 추론할 수 있다. 해안단구 형성시기는 최종간빙기인 MIS 5시기로 확인된 저위 I면을 단서로 중위면은 MIS 7. 고위 II면은 MIS 9, 고위 I면은 MIS 11로 판단된다. 고고위 II면은 산소동위체 MIS 13, 고고위 I면은 산소 동위체 MIS 15에 형성되었을 것이다. 고위면이 한반도 남동부 지역과 유사하게 큰 규모로 남아있는 것은 이것을 형성한 Holsteinian Interglacial의 기간이 매우 길고, 이 시기의 해면 위치에 기반암의 완사면이 넓게 형성되어 있었으므로 파식대가 비교적 용이하게 만들어진데 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Samples from newly exposed outcrop of sedimentary layers forming Jeongdongjin coastal terrace in Gangreung area are collected and analyzed to find the sedimentary environment. The site are located at the gentle hillslope of the terrace surface area. The height of the outcrop is about 8m and the altitude of it's highest part is 68~73m MSL. The lowest part of this out crop is the partly consolidated sand layer with gravel veneer within it. It is found that this part is not in-situ weathered sand stone through the OSL method. This sand layer is overlain by the gravel layer with sand matrix. The shapes of the gravels from this part are mainly 'platy', 'elongated', and 'bladed' by the index of Sneed and Folk(1958). In addition, mean roundness is not so high. It is sceptical to regard this part as marine sediments which are continuously exposed to erosional processes. The boundary between the lowest sand layer and gravel layer showing the abrupt change in forming material without any mixture or transitional zone, so gravels are seemed to deposited after some degree of consolidation of the lowest sand layer. In addition, the hight of the boundary between layers are changed by the place, so the surface of the partly consolidated sand layer is not flat and has irregularity on topography when it buried by gravels. Main part of this out crop is the poorly sorted coarse gravel(22.4mm) with sand matrix($1.36{\phi}$) layer with at least 2m thick covering the relatively fine gravels discussed above. Over 20% of particles have 'very platy', 'very elongated' and 'very bladed' shape and only less than 5% of particles have 'compact' shape, So this particles are also very hard to be regard as marine gravels which are abraded by marine processes. It can be concluded that this gravel layer formed by fluvial processes rather than coastal processes base on the form of the clast and sedimentary structure. The gravel layer is covered by fine($3{\sim}4{\phi}$) material layers of psudo-gleization which showing inter-bedding of red and white layers. Chemical composition of matrix and other fine materials should be analyzed in further studies. It is attempted to fine the burial ages of the sediment using OSL method, but failed by the saturation. So it can be assumed that these sediments have be buried over 120ka.

This study tried to produce an uplift rate map and reveal the spatial distribution of the rate with topographical characteristics and absolute ages on marine terrace in the East Coast of the Korean Peninsula. Based on a total of 57 ages at 26 sites from previous study and 13 ages at 13 sites from this study, the coast showed the rates ranging from 0.145 m/ka to 0.410m/ka with an average of 0.258 m/ka. The highest and lowest rates were found from the Jeongdongjin area in Gangneung and the Goraebul area in Yeongdeok, respectively. However, some areas in the coast showed large differences in the rate among the sites. In addition, areas with only 1 age were also found, indicative of low reliability. This study suggests that a more reliable and precise interpretation on the rate can be made with more ages identified, especially in Goseong to northern part of Gangneung, middle and southern parts of Samcheok and Yeongdeok, southern part of Pohang to northern part of Gyeongju, and Ulsan.

Background: Cakile edentula (Bigelow) Hook. is a successful invader that has been propagating globally. In Korea, Cakile edentula was found in 2008 for the first time, in the east coast of Korean peninsula. Based on site surveys conducted thereafter, Cakile edentula has propagated in the east coast from Goseong to Jeongdongjin, Gangneung and in the west coast of city of Hwaseong of Gyeonggi-do Province, and Taeangun County of Chungcheongnam-do Province. Results: Cakile edentula has infiltrated into four different vegetation communities (syntaxa) (Calystegio soldanellaeSalsoletum komarovii Ohba, Miyawakiet Tx.1967; Elymo-caricetum Kobomugi Miyawaki 1967; Carex pumila; and Calystegia soldanella) belonging to phytosociological classes of saltwort (barilla) and coastal glehnia. Cakile edentula competes with dominant species such as the saltwort (barilla) and beach morning glory, causing qualitative changes in species composition. It also affects local ecosystems through its competition with indigenous species, causing destruction of the traditional landscape. Conclusions: However, competition of Cakile edentula with indigenous species and the resulting replacement of such species are limitedly reported. Potential competitors with Cakile edentula have not been found yet. In Northeast Asia, qualitative changes realized in local ecosystems due to invasion of Cakile edentula are significantly noticeable. These necessitate proper controls for this invasive alien species to protect and preserve coastal dune areas.

The existence of coastal terraces, HH(High higher) surfaces found at Gampo of southeast coast and at Jeongdongjin of the central east coast were confirmed at Jigyeong-Ri, the areal border between Gyeongju- and Ulsan city on the southeast coast of Korea Peninsula. Especially this study reports HH JK-surface located on the 155m a.s.l., which is the highest altitude among the ancient shorelines of the coastal terraces in Korea. The HH surfaces on the study area are classified into HH JK at 155m, HH-I at 140m and HH-II at 115m, and each formation stage is related to MIS 17(720∼690ka BP), MIS 15(630∼560ka BP) and MIS 13(510∼480ka BP) respectively. The HH-surfaces remain to be larger than those of H- and L-surfaces. The reason is caused by the unique factors of the coastal geology and morphology on the study area during the formation stage. And also the areal difference by the magnitude of upheaval doesn't exist from north to south because the altitude system of ancient shoreline on each coastal terrace is same along the east coast. The upheaval rate of the eastern coastal areas was measured in the relation to the ancient shoreline and formation stage among the coastal terraces such as HH JK-, HH-I, HH-II, H-III and H-IY surface, and was almost same as 0.23mm/y.

한반도 남동해안의 감포와 중부 동해안 정동진에서 발견된 해안단구 고고위I면과 고고위II면을 울산-경주 경계지역 지경리 일대에서 재차 확인하였다. 특히 이곳에는 현재까지 우리나라에서 보고된 해발고도가 가장 높은 해안단구인 구정선고도 140m보다 한 단 더 높은 해발고도 155m인 고고위 지경(HH JK)면이 분포한다. 따라서 지경리지역 고고위면의 구정선고도는 해발고도 155m, 140m, l15m로 측정되었고, 형성시기는 각각 MIS 17(72∼69만년 BP), MIS 15(63∼56만년 BP)와 MIS 13(51∼48만년 BP)으로 편년되었다. 또한 고고위면의 규모가 매우 큰 것은 기반암과 고고위면 형성시 해안 지형의 특성에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 동해안 중부와 남부에서 고고위면을 비롯한 고위면, 중위면, 저위면의 구정선고도체계가 같으므로, Pleistocene 중기 이후 동해안에는 남북간 지반융기량의 차이가 존재하지 않는다. 해안단구 고고위 지경면, 고고위 I면, 고고위 II면, 고위 I면, 고위 II면의 구정선고도와 형성시기와의 관계로부터 얻은 동해안지역 지반 융기속도는 0.23mm/y로 거의 균일하다.
