This study was conducted to separate microorganisms with excellent odor component decomposition ability from nature. Microorganisms growing sulfur and ammonia compounds as substrates were isolated and identified in the tidal flat of Suncheon Bay. The strain YUN4 cultured on ammonia and sulfur compound substrates was found to have 100% genetic homology to Streptomyces fulvissimus. The optimum growth temperature of YUN4 was 20oC to 40oC, and the optimum pH was investigated in the range of pH 5 to pH 9. In addition, in order to evaluate the ability to reduce odor, after mixing the culture strain with each concentration of 1%, 5%, and 10% in the malodor generating sample, the efficiency of malodor reduction was evaluated after 30 minutes. As a result, the ammonia decomposition efficiency was 82.4%~93.9%, and hydrogen sulfide was 88.7%~94.9%.

In this study, before and after sunset carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature were observed in two points of atmosphere (lower observation point of the GL + 0.1 m, the upper observation point of GL + 1.0 m) on the foreshore at located in Suncheon Bay and their variations were analyzed. Observation was performed on the foreshore on 2~4 August 2010. Instrument (VAISALA, GMP343) was set two hours before sunset and then observation was made continuously for six hours. In three days, observed carbon dioxide concentration was 375~419 ppm, and the air temperature was in the range of 28.7~32. 5℃. The average concentration of carbon dioxide was 388~399 ppm in the upper observation point and 386~396 ppm in the lower observation point. It was higher in the upper observation point and its fluctuations were similar in two observation points. Correlation coefficients between carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature in the upper observation point were in the range of –0.64~–0.88, and were calculated –0.65 to -0.90 in the lower observation point. For the carbon dioxide concentration, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.98 in three times. For the air temperature, correlation coefficients between the upper part and the lower part were very high as 0.97 and 0.99. In the same observation time, the slope of the linear regression function as carbon dioxide concentration in the lower observation point for the upper observation point was in the range of 0.97~1.01. Carbon dioxide concentration was slightly higher in the upper observation point. Because carbon dioxide in the lower observation point was closer on the surface of the foreshore and absorbed from atmosphere to the foreshore. In this study, it was showed that the vertical variation of carbon dioxide concentration was insignificant in the several meter scale of atmosphere on the surface of the foreshore.

For this research, they were monitored CO2 flux and environmental factors (CO2 concentration, soil temperature, soil moisture, soil organic carbon, soil pH, soil Eh) in foreshore, paddy field and woods sites at the winter season (January 2009) and the summer season (September 2009). Seasonal and spatial variations for monitored data were analyzed, and linear regression functions of CO2 flux as environmental factors were estimated. CO2 fluxes averaged between surface and atmosphere monitored in foreshore and paddy field at the winter season were shown -8 mgCO2m-2hr-1 and -25 mgCO2m-2hr-1, respectively. CO2 fluxes averaged between surface and atmosphere monitored in foreshore and paddy field at the summer season were shown 47 mgCO2m-2hr-1 and 117 mgCO2m-2hr-1, respectively. Thus, CO2 was sunk from atmosphere to surface at the winter season and it was emitted from surface to atmosphere at the summer season. CO2 fluxes in woods site were emitted 145 mgCO2m-2hr-1 at the winter season and 279 mgCO2m-2hr-1 at the summer season.

부산은 서울, 대구 등 내륙도시와는 달리 도시화 과정에 수역의 매립이 포함되어 있어 도시화에 의한 도시기후변화에도 매립의 영향이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국의 3대 도시인 서울, 부산, 대구의 기후변화요인과 70여 년간의 기상데이터를 비교ㆍ분석하여 부산의 기후변화 특성 및 매립과 기후변화의 관련성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과 부산에서 매립이 진행되었다는 점을 제외하면 서울, 부산, 대구의 기후변화 요인에는 큰 차이가 없지만 서울, 대구의 경우는 도시화가 진행됨에 따라 최저기온의 연평균 상승이 현저한 것에 비해 부산은 매립이 진행된 시기에 최고기온의 연평균 상승이 현저함을 밝혔다.

A total of 24 surface sediment samples collected from coastal region and fronting of sea cliff on Cape Cod in southeastern Massachusetts, were analyzed to investigate the sediment transport mechanism. According to the result of grain-size analysis, the overall trend of grain size decreases from the north(Wood End Beach) to the south(Nauset Light Beach). The coarser materials tend to be deposited at the foreshore than at the backshore. Especially gravel content(%) is very high in northern beaches. The gravel fraction tended to concentrate at the toe of the beach. In addition to gravel, the beach and nearshore bar also tended to be deposite of very coarse sand and the finer fraction accumulate in the offshore bar. Grain-size analyses of sediment indicates that the coarsest sands including gravel accumulate in the beach and nearshore bar, the finer fraction winnowed out by wave action to be deposited in the offshore bar. The beach and nearshore bar sands and gravel are subsequently transported laterally by the wave-driven longshore drift, and finally they come to rest in the distal end of Provincetown Hook. The finer offshore sands are trnasported laterally to the south by net southward-directed longshore current.
