최근에 기후변화와 수질관리의 중요성이 증가하면서 습지토양의 탄소와 영양물질 보유 특성에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연안퇴적물과 인공습지, 자연습지(내륙, 하구, 갯벌)와 같이 연안퇴적물 및 다양한 유형의 습지토양에서의 유기물과 영양물질의 보유특성을 알아 보고자하였다. 또한 유기물, 영양물질, 입도에 따른 상관관계를 분석하여 이들 항목 간의 연관성을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 유기물이나 영양물질의 보유정도가 습지의 유형에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났는데 내륙습지가 하구나 연안습지보다 질소의 보유 능력이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 같은 육상생태계에서도 더 오랜 기간 동안 오염물질이 유입되고 자체적으로 유기물을 생산하여 축적하고 있는 자연습지에서 유기물과 질소의 농도가 인공습지보다 더 높은 것을 조사되었다. 연안지역의 경우 해수의 흐름이 원활한 하구나 갯벌 보다 해수의 유통이 느린 만 지역에서 유기물과 질소 농도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 화학적산소요구량은 총유기탄소 및 총질소농도와 높은 상관관계를 보여주어 화학적산소요구량 자료를 이용하여 해당 습지의 총유기탄소나 총질소 농도를 효과적으로 추정할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 EFDC모델과 입자추적모델을 이용하여 마산만의 담수유입에 의한 폐쇄성 내만의 물질체류시간을 산정하였다. 마산만의 해수유동을 재현하고 이를 바탕으로 평균체류시간을 계산하였다. 마산만의 조석에 의한 평균물질체류시간은 만 북측과 돝섬 부근까지가 약 110일이내, 모도 주변 해역이 약 40일, 부도에서 외해까지 약 20일 정도로 산정되었다. 담수유입에 따른 마산만의 4개 소해역별 평균물질체류시간은 I과 II영역에서 약 81일로 감소하였으나, 마산만의 외해측에 위치한 III과 IV영역은 각각 58일과 17일로 증가하였다.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of wind on the circulation of seawater in Gamak Bay, which contains numerous farms for fish and shellfish but suffers a significant loss by fisheries nearly annually from harmful algal blooms. In numerical experiments with a simplified bathymetry for Gamak Bay, the wind in summer appeared to more strongly influence the east-westward flow than the south-northward flow. In winter, this trend was nearly similar to the summer but seemed to have a greater effect on the flow at the north-west of the bay than the flow at the south mouth of the bay. On the other hand, in numerical experiments with a realistic bathymetry for Gamak Bay, the wind in summer appeared to more strongly influence the east-westward flow than the south-northward flow. Furthermore, the effect of the wind was stronger at the south mouth of the bay than at the north-west of the bay. In contrast, the wind in winter affected the east-westward flow more strongly and its effect appeared stronger at the north-west of the bay than at the south mouth of the bay. In addition, the effect of the wind tended to increase with distance from the east to the west. Therefore, the tidal currents in Gamak Bay proved to be strongly influenced by the wind, in particular east-westward. However, some measures are urgently required to improve the water quality of the bay, since the south-northward flow turned out to be obstructed by an east-westward shoal located in the middle of the bay.

In order to understand phytoplankton and bacterial distribution in tropical coral reef ecosystems in relation to the mangrove community, their biomass and activities were measured in the sea waters of the Chuuk and the Kosrae lagoons located in Micronesia. Chlorophyll a and bacterial abundance showed maximal values in the seawater near the mangrove forests, and then steeply decreased as the distance increased from the mangrove forests, indicating that environmental conditions for these microorganisms changed greatly in lagoon waters. Together with chlorophyll a, abundance of Synechococcus and phototrophic picoeukaryotes and a variety of indicator pigments for dinoflagellates, diatoms, green algae and cryptophytes also showed similar spatial distribution patterns, suggesting that phytoplankton assemblages respond to the environmental gradient by changing community compositions. In addition, primary production and bacterial production were also highest in the bay surrounded by mangrove forest and lowest outside of the lagoon. These results suggest that mangrove waters play an important role in energy production and nutrient cycling in tropical coasts, undoubtedly receiving large inputs of organic matter from shore vegetation such as mangroves. However, the steep decrease of biomass and production of phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria within a short distance from the bay to the level of oligotrophic waters indicates that the effect of mangrove waters does not extend far away.

Arrangement of the facilities for improving harbor functions depends on sea and land conditions such as the ship's arrival and departure conditions, waves and tide. And the plan and the size of the facilities depend much on harbor and marine environment condition such as cargo quantity, ship size, ship traffic and seawater circulation. Among these, waves have so much effect on a breakwater design that it is the most important to understand their characteristics and to apply them to breakwater design. Therefore, to analyze the effect of waves characteristics over a rubble mound breakwater, we have calculated wave pressure by using numerical analysis at each tide level and have analyzed the effect of wave pressure on structure stability by conducting the stability analysis with the wave pressure. As a result, it is found that during low and mean tide level time the biggest wave pressure is estimated near calm water level. But during high tide time, the biggest wave pressure is estimated in front of capping. And the stability analysis indicates also that a structure is most unstable when low tide time wave pressure is acting on. After reviewing the stability of a structure by applying vertical and horizon wave forces, it is concluded that safety factor is lower than ordinary time(max. about 15%), is also reviewed when designing a rubble mound breakwater.

Field observation and numerical experiments with a two-dimensional depth-integrated model were undertaken in order to investigate some of the effects on the flow structure resulting from the construction of a bridge connecting Kohung Peninsula and the Narodo Islands on the southern coast of Korea. Tidal currents passing through the straits between the Narodo Islands showed that, although the phase lagged one hour behind that passing through the strait between Kohung Peninsula and Naenarodo Island, it still kept strong flows of more than 80cm/sec near the bottom. The seawater temperature and salinity within the study area seemed to be higher southward but uniform vertically. The results of the drogue experiments in the straits between the Narodo Islands showed that the drogues moved northward of Sayangdo in the early part of the flood tide, but southward in the late part of the flood tide and finally stopped a mile from the east coast of Surakdo. On the other hand, the numerical computation showed that the flow structures after construction of the bridge piers were basically in line with those before construction of the bridge piers, except for the slight variations of velocities in the vicinity of the bridge piers. A large scale clockwise circulation has been confirmed in the south area of Namsungri of Kohung Peninsula from the computational results of tide-induced residual currents. Referring to these computational results, the impact category on the flow structures due to the bridge piers construction has been estimated to be within around 2km. The results were in good agreement with the field observations.

After the nuclear accident of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants (FDNPPs) on 11 March 2011, a large amount of radioactive materials has been released into the atmosphere and the ocean. A compartment model is used to evaluate the circulation characteristics and the spatiotemporal concentration distributions of radionuclides in the ocean. In the comparison with observed concentrations of $^{137}Cs$ in seawater, calculated concentrations by the compartment model were well agreed with them. On the basis of these results, we performed evaluation of the effective dose and the cancer risk. In the early stage of the accident, the effective doses from ingestion of the seafood near the Fukushima region were much higher than 1 mSv which is the value of the annual effective dose limit to individual recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). However, the effective doses by ingestion of the seafood decreased below 1 mSv as distance from the FDNPPs increased and time passed. In addition, it was estimated that the cancer risks by intake of the contaminated marine products were less than natural occurrence probability of cancer. Consequently, it was inferred that the health risk due to the $^{137}Cs$ was low after since mid-term period of the accident.

This study investigated the characteristics of sedimentary environment changes across a tidal flat in Gagyeongju of Anmyeondo Island. We performed a spatio-temporal analysis on the grain sizes composition of sediments and micro-landform changes during the winter from 2013 to 2016. The results showed that erosion was a dominant processthroughout the study flat, reducing the surface elevation even by 1 m around the upper sand flat. As a consequence, headlands have formed in the entire region of Gagyeongju village. In addition, erosion quickly progressed along the low-lying subtidal zone and tide way and, in contrast, sedimentation progressed in the mid-elevation tidal flat. We posit that a jetty, which had been constructed as a pier facility on the eastern part of the study area, interfered with the flow of tidal current, thereby enhancing these erosional processes. This is because such interference can block the supply of fine-textured sediments from the nearby Cheonsu Bay and therefore reduce surface elevation. According to the surface sediment analysis, the sediments were categorized into 7 sedimentary facies, and generally displayed a high ratio of silt and clay. The result of time-series analysis (2012-2013) showed that the sediments on the tidal flat became fine-grained, and that sorting became worse. However, the sediments on the subtidal zone, embayment and along inside of the jetty tended to be coarse-grained. In conclusion, the tidal flat microlandform change in the study area was caused by a disruption in the seawater circulation due to the jittery construction within the tidal flat, which had a direct effect on erosional and sedimentary environment processes.

표류병 및 염료확산실험을 통하여 수영만의 해수유동과 확산특성을 조사하였다. 밀물 때 해수는 동백섬 남서단에서 시계방향으로 돌아서 동백섬 서단으로 흐르고, 이기대 북동단 부근에서는 반시계방향으로 돌아서 동국제강 앞쪽으로 흘렀다. 이때 유속은 동백섬쪽에서 약 1놋트 정도였고 이기대 부근에서 약 0.3놋트였다. 썰물 때 해수는 수영강 하구와 동백섬 남서쪽으로부터 만의 중앙부근을 거쳐 만외로 흘러나가고 남천동과 동국제강 앞쪽에서는 시계방향으로 돌아서 수영강 하구에서 흘러나오는 해수와 합류하여 만 바깥으로 흘러 나갔다. 유속은 만의 중앙과 남천동 앞쪽으로 약 1놋트 정도로 빨랐고 광안해수욕장 앞에서 약 0.2놋트 정도로 느렸다. 염료의 확산성은 광안해수욕장 쪽으로 이동하였으며 90분 후 겉보기 확산계수는 3.9$\times$10 super(2) cm super(2)/sec 정도였다. 이 값은 진해의 1.2$\times$10 super(3) cm super(2) /sec 보다는 큰 값이지만 고리해역의 7-8$\times$10 super(3) cm super(2) /sec에 비하여 1/2에 불과하다. 확산시간에 대한 분산지수는 2.9, 확산규모에 대한 겉보기 확산계수는 1.3으로 나타났다.
