Engineering geoscience in Korea - from mining to fusion technology

Fusion technology is a key to maximize innovative potential of geoscience for many challenging issues today that require integrated multi-disciplinary approach. Successful fusion technological advance can be achieved when interdisciplinary cooperation is firmly established. In order to establish firm the context of inter-disciplinarity that is still feeble, it is urgent to continuously develop geoscientific models and systematic infra for interdisciplinary cooperation such as well-prepared geo-spatial database and knowledge base network that can support multi-lateral cooperation between multiple disciplines and multi-phase international cooperation.
