Annually, about 48-60% of sediment discharge of the Mekong River is delivered near the mouths of the Mekong River branches which is mostly coinciding with the southwest (SW) monsoon. This sediment budget in turn will be southwestwardly transported along the coast of the Mekong Delta (MD) during the northeast (NE) monsoon. Analysis of monsoonal changes in grain-size distribution (GSD) of surface sediment contributes to a better understanding of erosion and deposition processes along the MD. This study aims to figure out changes in GSD and sediment textures along the MD between SW and NE monsoons based on 183 surficial sediment samples collected along the MD during two field surveys carried-out in October 2016 and February-March 2017. Compared to the GSD during the SW and NE monsoon, the GSD along the MD changed significantly, especially in the estuary areas and along the coast of Bac Lieu and Ganh Hao. Whereas, in the west coast of the MD, GSD seem no changes between the two seasons. These changes in seabed sediment suggest that sediment with grain-sizes ranging from silt to fine sand can be transported during only a NE season.

In this study, flow-sediment discharge characteristics and relationships are estimated for the Cheonggyecheon basin, newly restored in 2005. Flow and sediment discharge measurement is performed on Ogansugyo, Majanggyo 2 and Yongdugyo during the rainy seasons in 2005-2006. The parameters of Clark UH are estimated using measured data, and sediment rating curves are derived by using grading and concentration analysis. Concentration time and storage coefficient of Clark UH are estimated 0.5 hr and 0.63 hr for Majanggyo 2, and 0.4 hr and 0.45 hr for Yongdugyo, respectively. Grain size of sediments are composed of fine silt to fine sand (0.008-0.25mm) based on the sediment grain size classification (Lane, 1947). Flow-sediment relationships derived by using concentration analysis shows that sediment discharge has no obvious relationship with flow discharge.

The depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO) in urban streams has a profound effect on the aquatic ecosystem; however, the change in DO by resuspension of sediments and the cause have not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, the physicochemical properties (particle size, and the content of organic and heavy metals) of the sediments of an urban stream (Anyang Stream) and the characteristics of water quality changes (DO, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved nitrogen (DN), sediment oxygen demand (SOD), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) by sediment resuspension were investigated. The sediment content of fine particles (< 0.2 mm) increased from 36.7% to 52.7% from the upstream to the downstream, and the contents of heavy metals and organic matter of the sediment were also higher towards the downstream. The depletion of DO by resuspension was observed in the sediment at the downstream sites (P8, P9), where the fine particle content was high, and biological SOD (BSOD) was more than 88% compared to the total SOD. The increase in BSOD coincided with the increase in ATP. It was also confirmed that the depletion of DO could increase the amount of heavy metals (such as Fe, Mn, and Pb) released from the sediment. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that resuspension of sediments induces rapid water quality changes and may cause accidents, such as fish mortality, during rainfall, and such a water quality effect can be more pronounced in sediments with a high content of fine particles and organic matter and high biological activity.

This study presents results from a detailed sedimentological investigation of surface sediments obtained from the Korea Strait region, the southern part of the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The distribution of different types of bottom sediments is controlled by the recent fine-grained sediment transport and deposition combined with the lowerings of sea level during the last glacial period, forming a diverse mixture of organic-rich fine-grained and shelly coarse-grained sediments. In comparison to high organic concentration of fine-grained sediments in the inner continental shelf and slope areas, the shell-rich coarse-grained sediments on the outer shelf are discernible being further modified. These coarse-grained sediments are confirmed as relict resulting from the sediment dynamics during the lower sea levels of the last glacial period. Clay mineral distribution of the fine-grained sediments gives information about the transport mechanism. Presence of present-day current system (the Tsushima Warm Current) is most probable source for the fine-grained particles into the open East Sea from the East China Sea, indicating that Holocene sediment dynamics may be used to explain the observed distribution of surface coarse-grained shell-rich sediments.

The sediment geochemistry, including REE of surface and core samples in the western part off Jeju Island have been carried out in order to understand the provenance and hydrolic sorting. The sediment in the study area were primarily composed of coarse silt with a mean grain size of $2.8{\sim}82.8{\mu}m$. The ratios of TOC over total nitrogen (TN) showed that the study area sediments contained more organic matters of marine origin than those of terrigenous origin. The total A1203, Fe203, K20, MgO, and MnO contents and REE concentration of the fine sediments are higher than those of the coarse sediments. The higher Zr/Th and Zr/Yb ratios in coarse sediments relative to fine-grained detritus indicates sedimentary sorting. Grain size influence the REE concentrations of the study area sediment significantly. The < $63{\mu}m$ fraction of the sediment has higher REE concentration and different REE patterns when compared with those in bulk samples, due to the presence of REE-enrich heavy minerals. The REE distribution patterns of the western part of Jeju Island sediments are relatively enriched in most LREEs than the Yellow River sediment and depleted in the Changjiang River, but the LaN/YbN ratios are similar to the Changjiang sediment. The Eu/Eu* ratios ranged from 0.594~0.665(0.631) is much similar to the Yellow River sediment, possibly mixture of the sediments from these two rivers.

본 연구는 가는 모래로 이루어진 하상으로부터 침식된 부유사의 농도분포 계산결과에 차폐효과가 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 하상재료의 입도분포를 고려하여 침식율을 산정할 수 있는 유사이동 모형을 개발하였으며, 측정자료와의 비교를 통해 수치모형의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 수치모의결과로부터 하상재료 입도분포의 기하표준편차가 1.5보다 작은 경우 차폐효과가 부유사 농도의 연직방향 분포 계산결과에 미치는 영향은 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기하표준편차가 1.5이하인 가는 모래로 이루어진 하상으로부터 침식된 유사 농도를 계산하는 경우, 균일사로 가정 후 대표입경을 바탕으로 농도를 산정하여도 합리적인 결과가 얻어지는 것으로 확인되었다.

In order to obtain the basic data for the effective seed production of Ureshis unicinctus sediment preference, burrow shape and burrowing depth in sediment were investigated in the laboratory. The highest valus in both sediment preference and burrowing rate of U. unicinctus were shown at fine and (0.11~0.50mm in the mean diameter). U. unicinctus made various types of burrows, such as J, L, S and U shapes. Generally only one individual inhabits in burrow with head-up.

본 연구의 목적은 산지에서 세립사가 포함된 유동체 혼합물이 다양한 경사 각도를 갖는 수로에서 공급유량의 변화에 따른 토사체적농도를 분석한 것이다. 수치모델은 질량보존 및 운동량 보존에 관한 방정식 그리고 세립토와 조립토 방정식에 기초하여 유한차분법을 이용하여 수행되었다. 비탈 경사면 각도 변화에 따른 토사농도 비교에서 경사가 급할수록 토사체적 농도의 급격한 변곡점이 나타났다. 공급유량의 변화에서는 공급유량이 많을수록 Fluctuation이 발생하였고, 토석류의 상태가 난류형으로 변하여 토사가 부유사 형태로 변화되었다. 이는 토석류의 이동속도가 빠르게 됨을 알 수 있다. 포화된 조립토의 변화에 따른 비교에서는 그 길이가 길수록 고농도가 발생하였으므로 사면 안정을 위해서는 사면에서의 침식 가능 여부를 먼저 판단해야 된다. 본 연구의 결과는 강우 변화에 따른 비탈면 하류단에서의 유동체 혼합물의 토석류에 의한 재해를 예측 및 다양한 경사의 비탈면을 갖는 산지 밑에서의 토석류에 의한 재해에 대한 정보를 제공할 것이다. 또한 사면 안정 시 효율적인 사면 경사각도로 설치하는 것과 사면에서의 침식 방지등에 있어 토석류와의 관계성 분석 및 토석류 재해를 막기 위한 다양한 대책을 세우는 데 효과적인 정보를 제공할 것이다.

Coastal and offshore structures such as ports and offshore wind farms will often need to be built on fine-grained sediments. Geotechnical properties associated with sediment compressibility are key parameters for marine construction designs especially on soft grounds, which involve clay-mineral dominated fines that can consolidate and settle significantly in response to engineered and environmental loads. We conduct liquid limit tests and 1D consolidation tests with fine-grained soils (silica silt, mica, kaolin and bentonite) and biogenic soils (diatom). The pore fluids for the liquid limit tests include deionized water and a series of brines with NaCl salt concentrations of 0.001 m, 0.01 m, 0.1 m, 0.6 m and 2.0 m, and the pore fluids for the consolidation tests deionized water, 0.01 m, 0.6 m, 2 m. The salt concentrations help the liquid limits of kaolin and bentonite decrease, but those of diatom slightly increase. The silica silt and mica show minimal changes in liquid limit due to salt concentrations. Accordingly, compression indices of soils follow the trend of the liquid limit as the liquid limit determined the initial void ratio of the consolidation test. Diatoms are more likely to be broken than clastic sediments during to loading, and diatom-rich sediment is therefore generally more compressible than clastic-rich sediment.

파랑운동하에서 미세한 해저물질로 인한 혼탁도 예측은 해안 또는 호소환경에 민간이 끼친 영향을 평가하는데 있어서 중요하다. 파랑은 이토의 퇴적작용을 완화하고 급격한 부유농도구배를 형성하려는 경향이 있어 해저면 가까이의 퇴적물에 미치는 부하가 대체로 해수면 가까이의 것보다 크다. 물리적으로 실질적이나 단순화된 방법으로 질량보존법칙이 미세입자의 농도분포 진척과 비쇄파 진행파의 작용하에서 해저면 진흙층의 침식에 상당하는 깊이를 모의하는데 사용되어 왔다. 앞서의 현장 관측은 해저면 근처의 모의된 경향을 보여주고 있는데 특성은 농도가 크면 매우 적은 표층토사와 결합되어 진흙층을 액상화시킨다. 결론적으로 해저면 침식 깊이의 예측은 호수역학의 이해와 충분한 현장에서의 토사농도단면측정이 요구된다. 해저면을 무시한 해수면 토사농도만의 측정은 해저면 침식 길이의 총체적인 과소평가를 유발할 수 있다.
