Attention has been focused on geothermal energy as an alternative energy because it is continuously operable without external supply. Most of geothermal anomalies in Korea are related to deep circulation of groundwater through a fracture system in granite area. Therefore it is very important to understand the distribution of the fracture system which is the main channel of ground water. In this research, we constructed the velocity models with a fracture system and the layered sediments, respectively, and generated synthetic data sets with them to verify the presented vertical seismic profiling (VSP) preprocessing scheme. We compared the results from conventional VSP preprocessing flow to those from VSP preprocessing flow considering fracture system. We noticed that the preprocessing flow considering fracture system retains more sufficient signal including down-going wave than conventional preprocessing. In addition, we applied 3D VSP prestack phase screen migration to the preprocessed reversed VSP (RVSP) data from Seokmo Island so that we were able to image fracture structure of the geothermal site in Seokmo Island.

Time-lapse crosswell seismic data, recorded before and after the cavity filling, showed that the filling increased the velocity at a known cavity zone in an old mine site in Inchon area. The seismic response depicted on the tomogram and in conjunction with the geologic data from drillings imply that the size of the cavity may be either small or filled by debris. In this study, I attempted to evaluate the filling effect by analyzing velocity measured from the time-lapse tomograms. The data acquired by a downhole airgun and 24-channel hydrophone system revealed that there exists measurable amounts of source statics. I presented a methodology to estimate the source statics. The procedure for this method is: 1) examine the source firing-time for each source, and remove the effect of irregular firing time, and 2) estimate the residual statics caused by inaccurate source positioning. This proposed multi-step inversion may reduce high frequency numerical noise and enhance the resolution at the zone of interest. The multi-step inversion with different starting models successfully shows the subtle velocity changes at the small cavity zone. The inversion procedure is: 1) conduct an inversion using regular sized cells, and generate an image of gross velocity structure by applying a 2-D median filter on the resulting tomogram, and 2) construct the starting velocity model by modifying the final velocity model from the first phase. The model was modified so that the zone of interest consists of small-sized grids. The final velocity model developed from the baseline survey was as a starting velocity model on the monitor inversion. Since we expected a velocity change only in the cavity zone, in the monitor inversion, we can significantly reduce the number of model parameters by fixing the model out-side the cavity zone equal to the baseline model.

Velocity structures were defined in the vicinty of the 140-m deep test borehole in the pungam basin through simultaneous inversion of surface seismic refraction and far-ofset VSP traveltime data. Seismicenergy generated at the surface by a seisgun was recorded both at 42 surface locations at 3-m intervalsalong the profiles in the N20E and its orthogonal directions and at 71 m depth in the borehole. Forthe ofset VSP study, seismic energy was generated by a 5 kg sledgehamer at the surface in the horizontal ofset range of -19.5∼+19.5 m from the borehole. The seismic signals were detected at 9∼99 m depths with 1∼2 m intervals and recorded for 204 ms per shot. After shot static corrections,first-arrival times picked from both the surface refraction and borehole records were simultaneouslyinverted to yield velocity tomograms. The tomograms indicate that a 1.5 m thick soil layer with velocities les than 500 m/s overlies basements having a velocity range of 3,067 ∼5,717 m/s. Within the basements,∼4 m and deeper than 71 m. The high-velocit yzones may be due to conglomerates intercalated with sandstones and siltstones. No evidence for large-scale fracture zones or faults is detected near the borehole

기후변화에 관한 정부간 협의체(International Panel on Climate Change, IPCC) 4차 보고서에는 21세기말 지구의 평균기온이 최대 $6.4^{\circ}C$ 까지 더 상승할 것으로 전망하였다(IPCC, 2007). 지구의 평균온도는 지난 100년 동안 $0.74^{\circ}C$ 상승하였으며 그중 0.45%는 최근 25년간 상승한 것이며 이것은 지난 100년 보다 2.4배나 빠르게 상승하고 있는 추세이다. 우리나라의 경우 기온이 전 지구평균기온에 비해 2배 이상 높은 $1.5^{\circ}C$정도 상승 하였다. 또한 온실가스 증가 속도는 다른 나라에 비해 빠르게 진행되고 있으며, 1990년에서 지난 2001년간 다른 OECD국가들과 비교했을 때 가장 빠르게 증가하고 있을 뿐 아니라($CO_2$배출량은 OECD국가 중 10위) 현재와 같은 에너지 다소비형 산업구조와 소비패턴으로는 온실가스 배출량이 감소할 가능성은 낮은 것으로 분석된다. 따라서 우리나라의 경우 다른 국가에 비하여 기후변화에 취약한 위치에 있고 민감하게 반응함에 따라 미래 기후변화에 대한 영향은 우리나라 농업수자원에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 제공하는 MM5 기상자료를 이용하여 농업용저수지 필요저수량 변화를 예측하였다. MM5 기상자료는 충남 서산관측소 과거 관측자료를 이용하여 편의보정을 거쳐 재추출하였다. 생성된 자료는 물수지분석 입력 자료로 구축하여 충남에 위치한 고풍저수지에 대하여 필요저수량변화를 예측하였다. 그 결과 기온상승으로 인한 실재증발산량은 676mm에서 717mm로 41mm가 증가하였으며, 소비수량 또한 1,617mm에서 1,659mm로 42mm 증가하였다. 유효우량은 2020s는 520mm 이였으나 2080s는 533mm으로 13mm 증가한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 자료를 이용하여 고풍저수지의 필요저수량을 분석한 결과 2020s, 2050s, 2080s 각각 31.2%(3,538.9천$m^3$), 16.0%(1,489.7천$m^3$), 26.6%(2,834.5천$m^3$)가 부족한 것으로 예측되었다. 이는 강우량은 증가하나 기준년도에 비하여 5월 8월이 낮게 예측된 것이 가장 큰 원인으로 분석되었다. 따라서 소비수량은 증가하지만 유효유량의 부족으로 필요저수량이 부족한 것으로 예측되었다.

지금까지 해외의 여러 달 궤도선에서 달의 영상을 다양한 방법으로 관측한 것에서 알 수 있듯이 영상 관측은 달 탐사에서 중요한 부분이다. 특히 그 중에서 입체 영사기(Stereo Imager)는 달의 3차원적 영상을 관측하여 달 표면의 구조를 파악할 수 있고 분광 카메라(Hyperspectral Camera)는 달 표면을 이루고 있는 물질을 분광 정보를 통해서 알아낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라가 2020년경 독자적인 달 궤도선을 계획하고 있는 것에 발맞추어 이 두 관측 장비를 설계해 보았다. 본 연구에서 설계한 탑재체는 하나의 광학계를 이용해 가시광 영역에서 동시에 입체 영상과 분광 영상을 얻을 수 있는 장치이며, 달 표면에서의 궤도선의 속도와 저장 가능한 정보의 양을 고려하여 100 km의 고도에서 속도를 1.6 km/s로 가정할 때 interline CCD가 17.5 m의 공간 분해능을 갖기 위해 92 frame/s 이상의 frame rate로 관측을 수행할 수 있게 하였다. 특히 분광 카메라는 wedge filter를 사용하여 광학계의 부담을 줄였으며 검출기로는 interline CCD를 사용하여 channel 수를 조절할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 달 표면을 구성하는 입자의 크기에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 편광판도 설치 하였다. 시험 모델의 문제점을 분석하여 새롭게 개선된 탑재체를 설계하여 개발하였다. 렌즈를 수정해 vignetting과 왜곡 현상을 보정하였고 전체 무게를 1.5 kg으로 줄여서 시험 모델보다 30% 이상 줄일 수 있었다. 파장 분해능은 20nm로 시험모델보다 더 개선된 분해능을 얻을 수 있었다. 출력 효율의 증대를 위해 power board의 수정을 수행하였다.

The previously developed microspot spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) is upgraded to a microspot SE compatible with the atomic force microscope (AFM). The focusing optical system of the previous microspot SE is optimized to incorporate an AFM head. In addition, the rotating compensator ellipsometer in polarizer-sample-compensator-analyzer configuration is adopted in order to minimize the negative effects caused by beam wobble. This research leads to the derivation of the expressions needed to get spectro-ellipsometric constants despite the fact that the employed rotating compensator is far from the ideal achromatic quarter-wave plate. The spot size of the developed microspot SE is less than 20 ㎛ while the AFM head is mounted. It operates in the wavelength range of 190-850 nm and has a measurement accuracy of δΔ ≤ 0.05° and δΨ ≤ 0.02°, respectively. Fast measurement of ≤3 s/sp is realized by precisely synchronizing the azimuthal angle of a rotating compensator with the spectrograph. The microspot SE integrated with an AFM is expected to be useful in characterizing the structure and optical properties of finely patterned samples.

It is very important to predict the amount of settlement in order to maintain the function of the coastal structure. Finite element analysis methods and real and model experiments are used as methods for this, but this has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of cost and time. Therefore, this study was conducted for the purpose of a simple formula proposal that can easily predict the amount of settlement of the caisson-type quay wall structure. In the research process, after calculating the PSI (Power Spectrum Intensity) of the velocity, the amount of settlement of the structure is calculated by substituting it into the simple formula of the existing gravity breakwater. By comparing and analyzing the amount of settlement of the structure obtained through numerical analysis, it was confirmed that the error between the amount of settlement of the existing simple formula and the amount of settlement of the numerical analysis was large, and it was confirmed that the background could not be considered in the case of the existing simple formula. Therefore, this study proposed a correction factor for the background of the quay wall structure, indicating a simple formula that can obtain the amount of settlement of the caisson-type quay wall structure. Compared to the numerical analysis settlement amount, it was judged that this simple formula had sufficient precision in calculating the caisson-type quay wall settlement amount. In addition, facilities vulnerable to earthquake resistance can be easily extracted in situations where time and cost are insufficient, and it is expected to be used as a screening technique.

To use kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) as a fiber and livestock feed, a high-yielding variety needs to be identified. For this, accurate phenotyping of plant height is required for this breeding purpose due to the strong relationship between plant height and yield. Plant height can be estimated using RGB images from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV-RGB) and photogrammetry based on Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms. In kenaf, accurate measurement of height is limited because kenaf stems have high flexibility and its height is easily affected by wind, growing up to 3 ~ 4 m. Therefore, we aimed to identify a method suitable for the accurate estimation of plant height of kenaf and investigate the feasibility of using the UAV-RGB-derived plant height map. Height estimation derived from UAV-RGB was improved using multi-point calibration against the five different wooden structures with known heights (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 cm). Using the proposed method, we analyzed the variation in temporal height of 23 kenaf cultivars. Our results demontrated that the actual and estimated heights were reliably comparable with the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.80 and a slope of 0.94. This method enabled the effective identification of cultivars with significantly different heights at each growth stages.

In the main target area of the block II, Targe-scale faults occur below the unconformity developed around 1 km in depth. The contrast of seismic velocity around the unconformity is generally so large that the strong multiples and the radical velocity variation would deteriorate the quality of migrated section due to serious distortion. More than 15 kinds of data processing techniques have been applied to improve the image resolution for the structures farmed from this active crustal activity. The bad and noisy traces were edited on the common shot gathers in the first step to get rid of acquisition problems which could take place from unfavorable conditions such as climatic change during data acquisition. Correction of amplitude attenuation caused from spherical divergence and inelastic attenuation has been also applied. Mild F/K filter was used to attenuate coherent noise such as guided waves and side scatters. Predictive deconvolution has been applied before stacking to remove peg-leg multiples and water reverberations. The velocity analysis process was conducted at every 2 km interval to analyze migration velocity, and it was iterated to get the high fidelity image. The strum noise caused from streamer was completely removed by applying predictive deconvolution in time space and ${\tau}-P$ domain. Residual multiples caused from thin layer or water bottom were eliminated through parabolic radon transform demultiple process. The migration using curved ray Kirchhoff-style algorithm has been applied to stack data. The velocity obtained after several iteration approach for MVA (migration velocity analysis) was used instead or DMO for the migration velocity. Using various testing methods, optimum seismic processing parameter can be obtained for structural and stratigraphic interpretation in the Block II, Yellow Sea Basin.
