Abstract

Since the liberation in 1945, Korean specialists in the field of geological science and mineral resources engineering have developed two disciplines through the cooperation and competition with each other. Specialists both in the geophysics and in the geophysical exploration, who share much, have developed their own fields deeper and broader. Since the late 1990s, specialists in both fields felt the need for an independent society to deal with their fields and discussed the establishment of such a society. In 1997, they discussed to establish a unified society which integrates both fields instead of separated societies. However, in 1998, the Korean Geophysical Society and the Korean Society of Exploration Geophysicists were separately established due to some practical problems. During 7 ~ 8 years since the establishment of the two societies, many members of the two societies intended that the two societies should integrate into a single comprehensive society based on the facts that many fields of each society are overlapped and naturally many members of one society are the members of the other society. The leaders of the two societies accepted these opinions also and began to discuss thoroughly the integration from 2005. Eventually, in 2007, the two societies successfully integrated and established the Korean Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists. The Korean Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists continues to cooperate and compete with other societies of geological science and mineral resources engineering in Korea and in circumpacific area including Asia, Oceania and Americas, contributing to the development of geophysics and geophysical exploration.

1945년에 해방된 후부터, 우리나라에서는 지질과학 분야와 자원공학 분야의 전문가들이 서로 협조, 경쟁하면서 두 학문 분야를 발전시켜 왔다. 서로 공유하는 부분이 많은 지구물리 분야와 물리탐사 분야는 범위가 더 넓은 위 두 학문 분야 안에서 각각 자신의 분야를 더욱 깊이 발전시켜 왔다. 1990년대 후반부터 지구물리 분야와 물리탐사 분야의 전문가들은 자신의 분야를 다루는 독립적인 학회가 필요함을 느끼고 학회의 설립을 위한 논의를 거듭하였다. 1997년에 이르러서는 두 분야가 각각 학회를 설립할 것이 아니라, 두 분야를 아우르는 하나의 학회를 설립할 것을 논의한 바 있으나, 결국 1998년에 들어와서는 몇 가지 현실적인 문제로 인해 대한지구물리학회와 한국지구물리탐사학회(이후 한국물리탐사학회로 바꾸었음)를 각각 따로 설립하였다. 양 학회의 설립 후부터 2000년대 중반까지 7 ~ 8 년이 지나는 동안, 양 학회가 다루는 분야들 중 서로 겹치는 분야가 많은 점, 많은 회원이 양 학회 모두의 회원인 점 등의 이유로, 양 학회의 많은 회원들이 양 학회가 통합하여 하나의 학회가 될 것을 바란다는 뜻을 나타내었다. 양 학회의 회장단도 이 의견을 받아들여, 2005년부터 본격적으로 통합을 논의하였고, 결국 2007년에 양 학회가 통합하여, 한국지구물리 물리탐사학회를 설립하였다. 2007년에 통합, 설립한 한국지구물리 물리탐사학회는 그 후부터 계속하여 우리나라의 지질과학 분야, 자원공학 분야의 다른 학회들과 활발히 서로 협조, 경쟁하면서 우리나라의 발전에 크게 기여할 뿐만 아니라, 아시아, 오세아니아, 아메리카 대륙 등 태평양을 둘러싸는 지역들의 외국 학회들과도 긴밀히 협조하면서 세계의 지구물리, 물리탐사 분야의 발전에도 크게 기여하고 있다.
