In recent years, the occurrence of localized torrential rain has increased due to the increase in heavy rainfall and massive typhoons caused by abnormal weather. As a result, the flow rate of small and medium-sized rivers in Korea is rapidly increasing, affecting the safety of bridges and increasing the risk of scour. However, the domestic bridge construction technology does not reflect the watershed characteristics of domestic rivers because the bridge scour depth calculation formula developed overseas is used to calculate the bridge scour depth. Therefore, this study is a basic study for prevention of bridge damage according to scouring phenomenon, and a comparative analysis was performed between the experimental data measured through hydraulic model test and the scour depth formulas applied in Korea. In addition, the statistical analysis between experimental data and scour depth formula shows that Coleman's (1971) formula estimates the best scour depth. The results of this study are expected to be used to calculate more accurate bridge scour depth in river design and bridge design.

The polar region is in the limelight for an academic worth as well as plenty of natural resources. The study on the polar region was reviewed for better understanding of the polar region and its rock properties. The antarctica has a windy and dry climate along with the lowest temperature on the earth. The thermal distribution according to depth in the area was reported: The freezing-thawing process was repeated in shallow depth, and the temperature falls down below zero under the specific depth. There is a great temperature difference between the atmosphere and rock. A research reported for the degree of weathering of the antarctic slope by using Schmidt hammer and Taffoni test. The rock specimens weathered by repeated freezing-thawing process were tested of the shore hardness and uniaxial compressive strength: The rock strength gradually decreased as the freezing-thawing process was repeated. The comprehensive mechanical properties of the polar region rocks and the relationship between the laboratory weathering test result and the real rock property change in the site remain as future research topics.

The spatial distribution of precipitation trends according to urbanization, geographical and topographical conditions have been studied. In this study, precipitation data from 1973 to 2006 were analyzed for 56 climatological stations including the Seoul metropolis in South Korea. In addition to annual average daily precipitation, monthly average daily precipitation in April, July, October and January were analyzed, considering seasonal effect. The geographical and topographical characteristics of these sites were examined using GIS analysis. Land use status of the study area was also examined to estimate the extent of urbanization. The study results indicate that annual average precipitation increased, and monthly average precipitation in April and October decreased, while those in January and July increased. Considering urbanization effect, annual average precipitation and monthly average precipitation in July increased; however, monthly average precipitation in January, April and October decreased. Furthermore, compared with urbanization rate and proximity to coast, average elevation of study area appeared to be the most close correlation with annual and monthly averages of precipitation trends.

최근 기후변화와 여름철 고온 등으로 인한 녹조현상, 각종 사고로 인한 화학물질 및 유류 유출 등 수질오염과 관련된 사회적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히, 화학사고로 인한 유해화학물질 유출은 접촉시 인체에 악영향을 끼치며, 대기 수질 토양을 오염시키고 주변 농작물의 변색이나 괴사를 유발하는 등 발생 시 적절한 조치와 대응이 필요하다. 환경부에서는 유해화학물질 유출사고로 인한 국민건강 및 환경상의 위해를 예방하기 위해 화학물질관리법과 화학물질 등록 및 평가에 관한 법률을 제정하여 유해화학물질을 관리하고 사고에 대응하고 있다. 그러나, 화학사고 발생 시 현장인력에 의존해 공장 인근의 먼지, 악취 등을 감시하거나 화학물질의 유출이 우려되는 곳에 제한적으로 검출센서를 설치해 사고를 감시하고 있으나 미설치 지역에 대한 능동적 탐지가 어렵고, 공간적 분포 탐지가 불가능하여 초동 대응에 한계가 있다. 한편 최근 초분광 영상을 활용하여 물질 고유의 특성을 분석함으로써 토지피복, 식생, 수질 등의 식별에 활용되고 있어 화학물질 감지 가능성도 보여주고 있다. 하지만, 초분광 센서를 활용한 하천의 화학물질 감지를 위한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우선 유해화학물질의 일종인 황산, 염화티오닐, 톨루엔을 대상으로 지점 분광복사계로 촬영하여 각각의 화학물질이 갖는 분광특성을 수집하여 초분광 영상으로 상호 구분이 가능한 지 확인하고자 하였다. 이상치 검출 및 신뢰도 높은 자료를 구축하기 위해 다회 반복촬영하였으며 반사도의 표준화를 위해 백색판을 동시에 측정하고 이를 정규화하여 분광 라이브러리를 구축한 결과, 대상 화학물질 별 식별이 가능하다는 결과를 도출하였다. 이러한 가능성에 기반하여 추가적인 유해화학물질 분광 라이브러리 데이터베이스를 구축하면, 사고물질의 식별 및 농도를 즉각적으로 확인하고 실시간 모니터링에 적용하여 신속하게 화학사고 발생여부 감지 및 대응에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

A dynamic flood frequency analysis model was proposed for the frequency analysis in ungaged catchment and applied to 6 subbasins in Pyungchang River basin. As the dynamic flood frequency model requires precipitation, rainfall loss system, and runoff analysis, we adopt the rectangular pulse model, the SCS formula, and the geomorphoclimatic IUH(GcIUH) for the application. Input data for the analysis was borrowed from the results of the statistical flood frequency analysis using L-moment method for the same catchment, and then the return period was estimated using the model. This result was also compared with the return period estimated from the statistical analysis. By comparing with the results from two cases, we found the dynamic flood frequency analysis gave higher estimates than those from statistical analysis for the whole subbasins. However, the dynamic flood frequency analysis model has a potential to be used for determining the design flood for small hydraulic structure in ungaged catchment because it uses only physical parameters for flood frequency analysis. And this model can be easily applicable to other watersheds as the scale effect is negligible.

This study compared the stand structure of Abies koreana forests between Mt. Jirisan and Mt. Hallasan by analyzing DBH distribution, stem vitality, crown structure, importance value, species diversity, and DCA. The data were acquired through the national long-term ecological research project conducted by the Ministry of Environment. In the comparison of DBH class distribution, the stem density of A. koreana with DBH < 20 cm was higher in Mt. Hallasan than that in Mt. Jirisan; however, the stem density of A. koreana with DBH > 20 cm was higher in Mt. Jirisan than that in Mt. Hallasan. For A. koreana stem vitality, the ratio of alive standing was higher in Mt. Jirisan (72.0%) than in Mt. Hallasan (60.7%), whereas the ratio of alive leaning was higher in Mt. Hallasan (10.2%) than in Mt. Jirisan (1.1%). A. koreana stand in Mt. Jirisan was a mature stand with four evenly developed and distinct layers, whereas the tree layer in Mt. Hallasan was less than 10 m and the stand had three layers without a subtree layer. Mt. Hallasan's importance value of A. koreana was 39.4% higher than Mt. Jirisan's importance value of 26.6%. The species diversity of the A. koreana community of Mt. Jirisan was 2.52 times higher than that of Mt. Hallasan, which was 1.58. DCA results revealed that the average distance between Mt. Jirisan and Mt. Hallasan was relatively distinguished, and the degree of scattering of species composition of Mt. Jirisan was relatively dense compared with that of Mt. Hallasan.

This study selected seven carbon-neutral villages, considering the characteristics of each region, including all five administrative districts of Changwon City, and proposed activation plans based on business evaluations through surveys of local residents and FGIs with leaders. The analysis showed that carbon-neutral education was the most important factor for activating carbon-neutral villages, with a response rate of 91.9% for 17 multiple-choice questions, followed by legal (ordinance) arrangements at 79.3% and village organization building at 74.1%. Based on this, the following activation plans through the participation of residents who are involved in the project of creating a carbon-neutral village in Changwon City were proposed. First, the characteristics of each carbon-neutral village model were classified into a resource circulation-based model, an environmental creation-based model, an environmental education and experience event-based model, and an energy efficiency-based model. Second, it is necessary to create and present carbon-neutral village growth stage guidelines for the growth of carbon-neutral villages. Third, manuals and teaching materials related to carbon neutrality, such as theories, issues, and practices, need to be produced and distributed for leaders and activists to easily apply and access for self-government operation of the village. Finally, if a carbon-neutral support center that is legally installable in Changwon City is established, it is expected that the lives of local residents will become more sustainable for carbon-neutral living in preparation for climate crises.

Korean Red Pine (Pinus densiflora) has been protected and used as the most ecologically and socio-culturally important tree species in Korea. However, as dieback of Korean red pines has occurred in the protected area of the forest genetic resources. The aims of this study is to identify causes for dieback of pine tree by investigating topographical characteristics of pine tree dieback and its correlation to meteorological factors. We extracted the dead trees from the time series aerial images and analyzed geomorphological characteristics of dead tree concentration area. As a result, 1,956 dead pine trees were extracted in the study region of 2,600 ha. Dieback of pine trees was found mostly in the areas with high altitude, high solar radiation, low topographic wetness index, south and south-west slopes, ridgelines, and high wind exposure compared to other living pine forest area. These areas are classified as high temperature and high drought stress regions due to micro-climatic characteristics affected by topographic factors. As high temperature and drought stress are generally increasing with climate change, we can evaluated that a risk of pine tree dieback is also increasing. Based on these geomorphological characteristics, we developed a pine tree dieback risk map using Maximum Entropy Model (MaxEnt), and it can be useful for establishing Korean red pine protection and management strategies.
