The discharge characteristics of the Seodo Mulgol Spring-the only groundwater-producing area in Dokdo-were evaluated by measurements of discharge rate and electrical conductivity (EC) on five occasions. The Seodo Mulgol Spring is fed by rainfall in upstream areas of the Mulgol cave, and the rainwater of the area moves down along cooling joints developed in trachyandesite II and trachyte, finally discharging at the Mulgol cave. The discharge rate of the Seodo Mulgol Spring varied from 1.12 to 7.02 $m^3/d$ during the study period and EC varied from 2,650 to 3,390 ${\mu}S/cm$, showing a sharp increase during heavy rainfall. The observed variations in discharge rate and EC at the Seodo Mulgol Spring are attributed to the relatively short distance between the recharge area and the Mulgol cave, and to the rapid movement of groundwater through columnar joints developed in trachyandesite II and trachyte. Additional discharge measurements, combined with precise rainfall data, are required at Dokdo to elucidate the discharge characteristics of the Seodo Mulgol Spring.

Water in the Mulgol pond on Dokdo (island), Korea, was historically used for drinking water, but now it has been no longer used for this purpose due to regionally low water quality. Since 2007, this pond has been covered with a metal lid to protect from pollutants of seabirds, indicating limited light penetration into the Mulgol pond. Here, we investigated water quality in the pond and potential relationships of nitrogen components and microbes in May, June, August, and November 2020. The source salinity ranged from 1.39 to 1.57 psu. Suspended solids (0.8~5.1 mg L^-1) and chlorophyll-a (<0.01~0.49 ㎍ L^-1) remained low. The concentration of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was between 35.9 and 47.2 mg L^-1. Thus, water in the Mulgol pond proves to be brackish water with low chlorophyll-a and high nutrients. This unique environment may be established by limited light intensity, sea fog (or seawater), and fecal pellets from many seabirds. Although the light source (800~8000 lux) was exposed to the four subsamples, chlorophyll-a concentrations were below <0.5 ㎍ L^-1 during the incubation periods. This result suggests that the biomass of phytoplankton does not increase along with an increase in light intensity. Furthermore, the content of nitrate constituted more than 90% of DIN, and a significant negative correlation between nitrate concentration and bacterial abundance was shown in May and June 2020 during the light exposure experiments (R=-0.762, p<0.05). Thus, it is possible that bacteria may be a significant agent to reduce nitrate concentration in the Mulgol pond, the relationship between nitrate concentration and bacterial abundance may vary seasonally.

In order to understand the spatial forms of stream, this study aimed to typify stream microtopography through the collection of common names of topography determined by fishermen and to describe stream landscapes by using these typology. The seventeen stream microtopography names were sorted out and divided into three types : the streamside space which includes Kaeul-jari, Hapsu-mori, Cholpyok-jidae, Kyekok-jidae and Korpuri, stream plate which includes Youl, Mulgol, So and Ungdongi, and streambed materials which includes Ampan-jidae, Pawi-jidae, Dolpat-jidae, Chagal-jidae, Chanchgal-jidae, Moraetop, Kamtang-padak and Suchodae. The spatial characteristics of stream microtopography landscape were described according to the comparison of landform, the support of fishing, accessibility, viewpoint and eye-catching degree. The tipification of stream microtopography and their symbolization will offer a rich vocabulary to describe diverse spatial forms of stream.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the classification and the spatial form of the named coastal landforms which are collected from the specialized magazine for fishing as a collective representative. The costal landform, viewing from the fishing activity, is divided into 9 types which are Yo(sunken rock), Kaeppai(rock-ribbed coast), Jolbyeok(cliff), Koppuri(spite), Chagalmadang(shringle beach), Kanchulam(intermitent rock), Mulgol(valley sea), Kaeppul(tidal flat), Sajang(sandy coast). And the characterstics of the 9types of landform were analyzed. The results of this study will contribute to establish teory on conservation and rehabilitation of costal landscape.

Two euplotid ciliates, Euplotes encysticus Yonezawa, 1985 and E. rariseta Curds et al., 1974, were isolated from a freshwater pond called Mulgol in Dokdo of the East Sea and from Masan Bay/Jeju Island, Korea, respectively. Both species are redescribed based on live observations and protargol impregnation. Cells of Euplotes encysticus are asymmetrically oval, $63-79{\times}41-61{\mu}m$ in vivo and capable of encystment. The cells have 31-36 adoral zone of membranelles(AZM), 9 fronto-ventral cirri (FVC), 5 transverse cirri (TC), 2-3 caudal cirri (CC), 2 marginal cirri (MC), 7 dorsal kineties (DK), and 19-22 dorsal cilia in middle DK. The cells of Euplotes rariseta has a small ovoid form and are $32-44{\times}23-35{\mu}m$ in vivo, 18-22 AZM, 10 FVC, 5 TC, 2 CC, 1 MC and 6 DK.

하도 내 수역이 식생으로의 천이가 진행되고 최종적으로는 육상 식물들이 활착하게 되는 육역화 현상은 하도의 수리학적 문제 및 환경생태적 측면에서 큰 문제를 발생시킬 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 최근 하천복원의 필요성이 강조됨에 따라 물골공법 및 국부세굴 유도형 공법 등 실용성을 포함시킨 다양한 하천 복원공법이 제시되고 있다. 물골공법은 자연적인 물골형상에 의한 유사퇴적방지, 홍수시 유속저감 및 생물서식처를 조성하는 하상 생태복원 공법을 의미하며, 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험 및 3차원 수치모의를 이용하여 다양한 하도육역화 방지 공법 중 물골공법의 효과 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 물골공법의 특성 중 유사퇴적방지의 효율성 분석을 위해 부정류(unsteady state)상태에 대해 연구를 수행하였으며 홍수 이후 수위하강시 고수부지 및 물골 주변에서의 흐름특성을 재현하였다. 수위하강 모의를 위해 임의의 수위하강시간을 선정하여, 수위하강이 진행되는 시간( )을 각각의 수위하강시간으로 무차원 화한 후 무차원된 시간(t/�� )에 따른 흐름특성을 비교 분석하였으며 모의 및 분석결과, 수위하강시간이 80초 이상일 경우 주요 지점에서의 유속의 변화는 무차원된 시간에 대하여 일치하였으며 수리모형실험 및 수치모의에 적용할 수위하강시간으로 선정할 수 있었다. 물골 전구간에 대한 부정류 실험을 위해 LSPIV(Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry)장치를 이용하여 수위하강에 따른 물골주변의 흐름특성을 관측하였으며 3차원 수치모의를 통해 검증하였다. 실험 분석결과, 수위하강에 따라 고수부지 위로 흐르는 유수가 물골 내부로 유입되어 물골을 따라 흘러 물골 합류부로 이동하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 홍수시 유수와 함께 떠다니는 부유사(suspended load)가 물골로 유입되어 물골 합류부로 이동하므로 물골의 유사배제 가능성을 판단할 수 있었다. 또한 물골의 유사배제능력을 평가를 위해 실험을 통하여 산정된 최대 및 최소 마찰속도(U )와 유사이동 한계곡선을 이용하여 물골의 통한 배제 가능한 유사의 입경을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 최소 2mm에서 최대 4mm로 나타났으며 이 입경 이하인 유사에 대해서는 퇴적되지 않고 물골을 통하여 배제될 수 있을 것으로 예상되었다. 본 연구 결과 물골공법 적용시 수위하강에 따라 물골에서 하도방향으로 유사의 수세(flushing)효과가 나타났으며 유사의 부상 및 이송이 효과적으로 발생하여 고수부지 내 유사퇴적 방지가 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다. 추후 다양한 형상의 물골에 대한 능력검토가 보완된다면 물골설계지침 제안을 위한 자료로 활용 가능할 것이다.
