The energy transition requires large-scale storage to provide long-term supply and short-
term grid stability. Though pumped hydro storage is widely used for this purpose, regions …

Several coastal regions in Korea have suffered from hypoxia since the 1970s. We present
the first review of Korean coastal hypoxia, focusing on its spatiotemporal variation …

This study is the first report to evaluate (8 years data) the contamination degree and
distribution characteristics of metals in the surface water and sediments of four Korean rivers …

Elucidating environmental evolution and its influencing factors in estuarine areas is
essential to coastal and marine ecological management. In this study, the spatiotemporal …

The present article provides a regional overview of the Korean tidal flat extensively
developed along the West Sea of Korea, encompassing oceanographic features, geology …

The drastic land cover change and its impacts in the Yellow Sea have long been significant
issues in terms of coastal vulnerabilities, but holistic data analysis is limited. The present …

The mechanism that underlies the evolution of the seasonal environment and the effects of
reclamation projects in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) were studied by modeling the …

Globally, tidal flats are increasingly narrowing due to continuous reclamation and sea level
rise. Nonetheless, the impact of tidal flat narrowing (TFN) on tidal creek systems that play a …
