The purpose of this study is to help 10th grade students learn their science course more efficiently through an Earth System Education (ESE). ESE may contribute in the right view of nature and human by mitigating interdisciplinary in science and accomplishing harmonious tuition-studying. In this study, subject in 'Volcano explosion and Global climate change' is chosen by the ESE program and corrects are made so that it becomes suitable in 'Science' subject of the 7th curriculum and supplements this and inspects the application possibility. As a result of the analysis, the experimental group showed a positive change in almost all area; whereas, the control group was so only in cognition of science (p=0.003), interest toward science (p<0.001), attitude about science (p<0.001), etc. Experiment group in which ESE programs were applied shown higher accomplishment drawing in study accomplishment degree than the control group, which progress traditional class (p=0.038). Students from the experimental group were active, serious in attitude, self-directed in their studies during class. We can expect that the application of ESE programs has a good effect on scientific interest, curiosity enhancement of students, scientific talent and right view of nature height in science subjects on the basis of these result.

The potential impact of aircraft emissions on the current and projected climate of our planet is one of the more important environmental issues facing the aviation industry. Increasing concern over the potential negative effects of greenhouse gas emissions has motivated aircraft emission estimation and prediction as one of the ways to reduce aircraft emissions and mitigate the impact of aviation on climate. We obtained airline flight schedules for all the airports in Korea that are included in OAG data. Fuel burn and emission index of LTO flight which contains take off, climb and approach under 3000ft and Non LTO flight which contains climb, cruise and descent over 3000ft for all the airports in Korea in 2005 were estimated and analysed for each condition using AEIC software which has been developed by MIT Lab for Aviation and Environment.

치수는 고대국가로부터 현재의 국가에 이르기까지 중차대한 국가사업이다. 근대를 지나면서 산업화가 가속화되었고 수자원의 사용과 관리는 더욱 세분화 되었다. 또한 수자원의 사용과 관리에 앞서 기후와 밀접한 관계가 있는 수자원의 물리적 특성을 분석하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 최근 우리나라도 급격한 산업화로 인한 환경파괴와 지구온난화로 인한 강수의 편중이 더욱 심해지고 있다. 즉, 한반도도 전 세계가 직면한 기후변화로 인한 자연재해로 부터 안전하지 않다는 것을 의미한다. 특히 수자원을 관리함에 있어 가뭄의 경우에는 장기적으로 진행되는 경우가 많고 피해 규모와 복구 등도 가뭄의 진행 기간과 밀접한 관계를 가지므로 적극적인 대비가 필요하다. 따라서 가뭄을 연구함에 앞서 과거 한반도의 가뭄의 경향성 및 주기성 같은 특성을 분석할 수 있는 연구가 수반되어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 과거 한반도 가뭄 사상의 특성분석을 위해 대표 가뭄지수로 SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index)와 PDSI(Palmer Drought Severity Index)를 선정하여 우리나라 전역에 위치한 총 59개 기상관측소의 1980년~2009년까지의 기상자료를 수집하여 유역별 월평균 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 또한 이를 이용하여 가뭄발생의 경향성 및 주기성을 중심으로 과거한반도 가뭄의 통계학적 특성분석을 실시하였다. 각 지수의 경향성을 분석한 결과, SPI3와 SPI6는 봄과 겨울에는 가뭄이 심화되는 경향을 보였고 여름철에는 가뭄이 완화되는 경향을 보였다. 반면 SPI12의 경우는 섬진강과 영산강은 유의하지는 않으나 전 기간에 걸쳐 가뭄이 심화되는 경향을 보였고 한강, 낙동강, 금강유역은 가뭄이 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. PDSI의 경우에는 SPI와는 반대로 섬진강과 영산강은 전 기간에 걸쳐 가뭄이 완화되는 경향을 보였고 한강, 낙동강, 금강유역은 유의한 수준에서 가뭄이 심화되는 경향을 보임으로써, SPI와 PDSI에 의한 가뭄평가 경향성이 유역별로 다소 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 각 유역의 주기성을 분석한 결과로는 모든 유역에서 1년~3년 또는 6년 이하의 주기성을 나타냈으며, SPI의 경우 지속기간이 길어질수록 6년 이상의 저빈도 주기성을 나타냈고, SPI3는 짧게는 1년 미만의 고빈도 주기를 보이는 경우도 있었으며, SPI6와 SPI12는 4년~6년 주기를 나타냈다. 또한 PDSI도 마찬가지로 6년 내외의 장주기를 보였다. 특히 유역별로 분석할 경우 남부지역의 가뭄발생 주기가 중부지역보다 길게 나타나는 성향을 보였다. 그리고 SPI와 PDSI, 두 가뭄지수의 공통주기를 분석한 결과에서는 상관관계가 적은 것으로 확인 되었다.

The main purpose of the current research is to analyze DPR Korean carbon emissions due to forest loss and to identify potential project sites for REDD implementation. REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) is a global environmental policy that is geared towards lowering carbon emissions in developing and least developed countries through saving forests that are vulnerable to future deforestation. DPR Korea is known for its underdevelopment as well as its serious environmental degradation, but limited research exists regarding these issues. The research employs remotely sensed global data and forest carbon stock information from the existing literature to quantify carbon emissions in DPR Korea. It turns out that the country may have had emitted about 82.6 to 149.3 $MtCO_2e$ due to forest loss between 2005 and 2009. A few administrative districts are delineated as prospective REDD sites, of which the outcomes of Local Moran's I represent high rates of deforestation. In brief, it appears there is a great possibility to lower carbon emissions in DPR Korea via REDD implementation.

Biochar, a by-product from pyrolysis of biomass, is a promising option to mitigate climate change by increasing soil carbon sequestration. This material is also considered to have potential to remediate a soil with heavy metal pollution by increasing the soil's adsorptive capacity. This study conducted the assessment of two biochars considering the climate change mitigation potential and heavy metal removal capacity at the same time. Two kinds of biochars (BC_Ch, TW_Ch) were prepared by pyrolyzing the biomass of burcucumber (BC_Bm) and tea waste (TW_Bm). The soils polluted with Pb were mixed with biochars or biomass and incubated for 60 d. During the incubation, $CO_2$, $CH_4$, and $N_2O$ were regularly measured and the soil before and after incubation was analyzed for chemical and biological parameters including the acetate extractable Pb. The results showed that only the BC_Ch treatment significantly reduced the amount of Pb after 60 d incubation. During the incubation, the $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ emissions from the BC_Ch and TW_Ch were decreased by 24% and 34% compared to the BC_Bm and TW_Bm, respectively. The $CH_4$ emissions were not significantly affected by biochar treatments. We calculated the GWP considering the production of amendment materials, application to the soils, removal of Pb, and soil carbon storage. The BC_Ch treatment had the most negative value because it had the higher Pb adsorption and soil carbon sequestration. Our results imply that if we apply biochar made from burcucumber, we could expect the pollution reduction and climate change mitigation at the same time.

레일패드는 궤도전체의 탄성확보 뿐만 아니라 열차하중에 의해 침목으로 전달되는 충격을 완화시켜 침목과 도상의 파손을 방지하는 역할을 하는데, 통과톤수의 증가와 기후적 요인에 의하여 패드가 열화되면 패드의 강성이 증가하게 된다. 패드의 강성이 증가하게 되면 레일을 통해 침목으로 전달되는 충격하중이 증가하게 되어 침목의 파손을 유발할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 침목하면의 도상에도 과도한 충격하중을 전달하여 도상의 손상을 가속화시킬 수 있다. 또한 레일패드의 강성변화는 궤도의 소음과 레일의 파상마모의 진전에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 레일패드의 공용기간 중에 적정한 강성을 유지할 필요가 있으며, 통과톤수의 증가에 따른 레일패드의 경화도를 산정하는 방법과 레일패드의 경화가 궤도에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하여 레일패드의 교체주기에 관한 기준을 마련할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 슬래브의 질량과 일정속도대역에서의 패드강성의 민감도분석을 하여 그 결과를 비교하고 레일패드경화에 따른 대상궤도의 동적거동을 수치해석을 통하여 패드강성과 차량주행속도에 따른 윤중의 변동량과 레일의 변위, 가속도 그리고 침목의 변위, 가속도의 변화정도를 분석해 보았다. 궤도시스템의 동적해석을 위한 해석 프로그램으로는 네덜란드 델프트 공과대학에서 개발된 궤도시스템 전용 해석 프로그램인 DARTS(The dynamic analysis of a rail track structure)를 사용하였다. 대상궤도는 국내 1단계 경부고속철도에서 사용되고 있는 3중보 무도상궤도를 사용하였다.

As the demand for fossil fuels continues to increase worldwide, carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration in the air has increased over the centuries. The way to reduce CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology have been developed that can be applied to power plants and factories, which are primary emission sources. According to the climate change mitigation policy, direct air capture (DAC) in air, referred to as "negative emission" technology, has a low CO₂ concentration of 0.04%, so it is focused on adsorbent research, unlike conventional CCS technology. In the DAC field, chemical adsorbents using CO₂ absorption, solid absorbents, amine-functionalized materials, and ion exchange resins have been studied. Since the absorbent-based technology requires a high-temperature heat treatment process according to the absorbent regeneration, the membrane-based CO₂ capture system has a great potential Membrane-based system is also expected for indoor CO₂ ventilation systems and immediate CO₂ supply to smart farming systems. CO₂ capture efficiency should be improved through efficient process design and material performance improvement.

Recently, global climate change causes abnormal weather and disaster countermeasures do not provide sufficient defense and mitigation because they were established according to the historical climate condition. Repeated torrential rains, in particular, are causing damage even in the robust urban flood defense system. Therefore, in this study, the change of runoff considering the spatial distribution of rainfall and urban characteristics was analyzed. For rainfall concentrated in small catchment, rainfall in the watershed must be accurately measured. This study is based on the rainfall data observed with Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) and Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) provided by the Seoul Meteorological Administration. Effluent from the pumping station was estimated using the EPA-SWMM model and compared and analyzed. Catchments with rainwater pumping station are small with large portion of impermeable areas. Thus, when the ASOS data where is located from from the chatchment, runoff is often calculated using rainfall data that is different from rainfall in the catchment. In this study, the difference between rainfall data observed in the AWS near the catchment and ASOS away from the catchment was calculated. It was found that accurate rainfall should be used to operate rainwater pumping stations or forecast urban flooding floods. In addition, the results of this study may be helpful for estimating design rainfall and runoff calculation.
