The Cretaceous fossil sites of Seoyuri in Hwasun was designated as the Korean Natural Monument No. 487 in November 2007. It provides important resources for paleoenvironmental studies, including theropod trackways, plant fossils, mudcracks, ripple marks, and horizontal bedding. The Cretaceous sedimentary strata contain a wide variety of volcanic pebbles, 5-40 cm in diameter in the lower portion and are overlain by the Late Cretaceous Hwasun andesite. Whole rock absolute K-Ar age determinations were performed on six volcanic pebbles from the Cretaceous sedimentary strata and on two samples from the overlaying Hwasun andesite. These ages indicate that the rocks belong to the period between the Turonian of the late Cretaceous (91-70 Ma) and the Pliocene age of the early Cenozoic ($63.4{\pm}1.2$ and $62.1{\pm}1.2$ Ma). Thus, the K-Ar ages indicate that the maximum geological age of the dinosaur track-bearing sedimentary deposits is about ca. 70 Ma. Therefore, it suggests that the age is comparable to the formation ages of the dinosaur footprints-bearing deposits in Sado area of Yeosu (71-66Ma).

식물유, 어유 및 축산 폐기물을 포함한 동식물성 기름은 어느 연료든지 기관의 연료로서 사용 가능하지만, 이들 연료는 점도가 높고, 저휘발성이어서 착화지연기간동안에 가연성혼합기 생성이 어려워 저 NOx이며, 정숙한 운전이 사능할 뿐 아니라 경유정도의 열소비율 및 배기 매연농도로 디젤기관의 대체 연료로서의 충분한 가능성이 있는 연료임을 확인하였다. 그러나, 고점도에 의한 분무 특성의 악화에 기인한 분무입자의 증대로 미연소분에 의한 carbon deposit 및 piston ring stick 등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 그러나, 이같은 문제점의 해결책으로 경질유와의 혼합, 에스테르 변환 및 연료의 가열등 여러 해결책을 제시하였고, 배기가스분석결과도 양호함을 확인하였다. 이같은 biomass 연료 일종인 식물유가 아무런 변화없이 이용되기 위해서는 고과급화, 단열 및 연소실의 적절한 설계가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 현재의 실황을 생각한다면 기존기관을 특별하게 개조함이 없이 사용을 전제로 할 때 식물유의 이용은 local 에너지로서, 생산, 전환 또는 이용기술의 개발과 동시에 화석에너지의 보충적인 에너지로 고려하는 것이 유효할 것으로 생각된다.

The reconstruction of the vegetational and environmental history of the Korean peninsula by the use of various fossil floral data from the Carboniferous period to the Pre-Holocene is reviewed. Though the oldest plant fossil in Korea (Neuropteris) dates back to the Carboniferous period, the first appearance of many of the present-day floristic genera indeed dates back to the Oligocene (c. 40 to 20 million years B.P.), and includes many thermophilous genera. The presence of thermophilous genera in the Oligocene at up to four degrees north of their present distributional limits implies that the climate of the Oligocene was warmer than that of today. The occurrence of similar thermophilous floristic element at up to six degrees north of their present range during the Middle Miocene suggests a maximum northward expansion of warmth-loving evergreen broadleaved vegetation for, recent Korean vegetation history. The continued occurrence of numerous present-day genera since the Oligocene period indicates a long-term stability of Korean vegetation, along with minor fluctuations within it. The admixture of evergreen coniferous plants and deciduous breadleaved plants, however, indicates a probable temperate climate for much of the Middle Pleistocene. There are couple of evidences which are indicative of an early-stage anthropogenic disturbance of natural vegetation during the Middle Pleistocene of Korea. The presence of cold-episodes during the Upper Pleistocene caused a general expansion of deciduous plants and cryophilous evergreen coniferous, plants. It is likely that the maximum southward expansion of cryophilous arctic-alpine and alpine floras in Korea occured during the penultimate glacial period. The disappearance of some cryophilous genera from 10,000 years B.P. marks the continued climatic amelioration since then, along with minor climatic fluctuations during the Holocene period.

The purpose of this study is to develop a science field study area using Geumgang(Geum River), fossil origins and various geological resources in Youngdong area of Chungcheongbuk-do as educational resources; and utilize them to develop an education program to cultivate earth science and topophilia. The Youngdong sedimentary basin (Cretaceous period) has a well-developed outcrop along the Geumgang and it is therefore easy to find various geological structures, plant fossils, and dinosaur fossils. Also, it has a distinct sedimentary structure, such as mud cracks, ripple marks and cross-bedding. Science field study area(6 observation sites) were developed based on school curriculum, textbook analysis, and professional earth science education panel discussion to create a convergence education program. The result of validating the developed program showed that all the items were satisfactory ($CVR{\geq}0.88$) in the test categories. The science field study teaching-learning model was applied to actual classes. The evaluation result for class satisfaction was positive, scoring Rickert scale 4.18. The result of observation about the outdoor classroom process in the science field study area revealed that students were able to form a new image of the beautiful scenery of the Geumgang. Also, the students could gain a new understanding, concept and value of various geological objects (sandy beach, stepping-stones, dinosaur footprint fossils, sedimentary formation), which naturally allowed them to form topophilia.

화석연료의 연소에 의해 발생되는 질소산화물(NOx)은 가스상의 대기오염물질로서 인류의 생활환경에 유해함은 물론 식물의 생장속도에도 막대한 영향을 미치고 있으며, 질소산화물은 햇빛의 존재 하에서 탄화수소와 광화학 반응을 하여 광화학적 산화물과 오존 등을 생성하는 광화학적 스모그 생성에 관여하고, 이러한 광화학 스모그는 사람에게 만성의 호흡기 질환을 유발하거나 시정거리의 감소를 가져온다. (중략)

산업활동의 발달로 인한 화석연료의 사용 등과 같은 인위적 오염원의 증가는 이들을 통해 배출되는 오염물질들의 이동ㆍ확산ㆍ침적이 국지적인 규모를 초월하여 광역적인 규모로 진행되는 현상을 촉진하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 궁극적으로 이러한 현상의 확대는 동ㆍ식물 생태계의 파괴를 초래할 뿐만 아니라 인간생존을 위협할 수 있는 요소로 대두되는 실정이다. (중략)

For effective preservation of the rocks, which bearing plant fossils at Gumkwangdong Formation, Pohang, the properties of rock and treatment of chemicals were examined in an artificial weathering test. The rocks are diatomaceous siliceous mudstone, which contain a small amount of smectite and has developed laminated layers. The rocks react with water, the d₀₀₁ spacing of smectite was increased. On the one hand, the physical properties of the rock samples, such as surface hardness, improved after the application of ethyl silicate-based stone strengthener. On the other hand, the spacing of interlayer of swelling clay minerals decreased and spacing of laminae layer increased. When the ethyl silicate-based stone strengthener was applied after pretreatment with a swelling inhibitor, interlayer and spacing of laminae changes were similar to those when only the stone strengthener was treated. The effect of the swelling inhibitor was almost negligible. When the rocks that have been conserved with chemicals react with water, spacing of laminae has widened much, whereas when the rocks was in contact with moisture only, there was little change. In addition, if it is placed in the outdoor after conservation treatment, although it occurs slightly slower than the untreated rock, the separation of the lamination layer and the pulverization of the rock occur within a very short time. Consolidation is required to improve the physical properties of fossil rock, but when exposed to rain and undergoing freeze-thaw process, the effect is lost very quickly. Therefore, regardless of the chemical treatment, it is a priority to prevent direct rainfall contact with the rock.

지금까지의 논의를 요약하면 sativa 와 glaverrima 는 독립적으로 분화되었고 sativa 중의 indica 와 japonica 도 원시야생종에서 독립적으로 진화되었는데 중국에서는 japonica와 같이 indica 도 진화되었는데 인도에서는 indica 만이 진화되었다. 벼농사의 시작은 1만년전에 불과하지만 벼 자체의 식물학적인 진화과정은 수백만년의 긴 여정이었다. 벼농사가 중국에서 시작되어 우리나라로 넘어오기까지에 5,000 년을 소요했는데 지금까지의 고고학적 증빙으로는 법금 5000-2300년 사이에 한반도 전역에 벼농사는 널리 전파되었다. 한국으로 전래되기까지의 경로와 연대를 추정하기에는 아직 자료가 많이 부족하다 특히 화분화석, 규화석, 고기후학, 고지리학 그리고 황해의 항해에 관한 자료가 아쉽다. Oka 가(1988) 인도부터 중국에 걸친 지역에서 고고학적 연구가 보다더 진전되기까지는 벼의 식물과 재배의 기원을 결정적으로 말할 수는 없을 것이라고 결논한 것은 이런 사정을 분명히 표현한 것으로 생각된다.
