Abstract

Mt. Baekdu which located the border of North Korea and China, is known as a potentially active volcano in a typical mountainous terrain. A lahar on the volcanic area is one of the important hazard that can cause the loss of life and property damage. In order to comprehensively address the impact of lahar hazard at Mt. Baekdu, we simulated lahar inundation area using Laharz_py. We assumed 750 m of additional elevation for DEM to draw proximal hazard zone boundary (PHZB) of Mt. Baekdu that H/L ratio are selected 0.10. And lahar volumes for simulation were estimated to $1{\times}10^6$, $5{\times}10^6$, $1{\times}10^7$, $5{\times}10^7$, $1{\times}10^8$, $5{\times}10^8$, $1{\times}10^9m^3$, respectively. In the results, 15 streams are located near a proximal hazard zone boundary, Amnok (Yalu) river (south), Toudaosonghua river, Jinjiang river and Huapi river (west-southwest), Songjiang river, Xiaosha river, Caozi river and Sandaosongjian river (west-northwest), Toudaobai river, Erdaobai river and Sandabai river (north), Wudaobai river-1, -2, -3 (northeast) and Duman (Tumen) river (east). The results of this study can be used as basic data to make a hazard map for reduce the damage that can be caused by volcanic hazards occurred on Mt. Baekdu.

북한과 중국의 국경에 위치한 백두산은 전형적인 산지 지형으로 잠재적 분화 가능성이 있는 화산이다. 화산지대에서 발생하는 라하르는 인명과 재산에 큰 피해를 줄 수 있는 주요 화산 재해 중 하나이다. 백두산에서 발생할 수 있는 라하르에 의한 영향을 포괄적으로 다루기 위하여 Laharz_py 프로그램을 이용하여 침수영역을 수치모의 하였다. 백두산의 근위위험지역경계(proximal hazard zone boundary; PHZB)를 설정하기 위하여 수치표고모델(DEM)에 추가적인 750 m의 고도를 가정하여 수치모의에 필요한 H/L비를 0.10으로 설정하였다. 수치모의를 위하여 발생 가능한 라하르의 부피를 각각 $1{\times}10^6$, $5{\times}10^6$, $1{\times}10^7$, $5{\times}10^7$, $1{\times}10^8$, $5{\times}10^8$, $1{\times}10^9m^3$으로 설정하였다. 수치모의 결과, 압록강(남쪽), 두도송화강, 금강하, 화피하(이상 서-남서쪽), 송강하, 소사하, 조자하, 삼도송강하(이상 서-북서쪽), 두도백하, 이도백하, 삼도백하(이상 북쪽), 오도백하 및 그 지류에 해당하는 3개의 하천(북동쪽), 그리고 두만강(동쪽) 등 15개의 하천이 근위위험지역경계에 위치하였다. 본 연구 결과는 백두산에서 발생할 수 있는 화산 재해에 의한 피해 저감 대책수립을 위한 재해위험도를 작성함에 있어 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있다.
