Lau basin of the south Pacific, as an active back arc basin, is promising area bearing seafloor massive hydrothermal deposit that is located in a subduction zone between the Pacific ocean plate and Indo-Australian continental plate. We performed multi-beam bathymetry survey in the Lau basin using EM120, to find out high hydrothermal activity Bone. Fonualei Rift and Spreading Center (FRSC) and Mangatolou Triple Junction (MTJ) area were selected for precise site survey through seafloor morphology investigation. The result of surface and deep-tow magnetometer survey showed that Central Anomaly Magnetization High (CAMH) recorded which is associated with active ridge in FRSC-2 and revealed very low magnetic anomalies that can be connected to past or present high hydrothermal activity in MTJ-1 seamount area. Moreover, the physical and chemical tracers of hydrothermal vent flume, i.e., transmission, hydrogen ion concentration (pH), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), methane (CH4) by use of CTD system, showed significant anomalies in those areas. From positive vent flume results, we could conclude that these areas were or are experiencing very active volcanic activities. The acquired chimney and hydrothermal altered bed rock samples gave us confidence of the existence of massive hydrothermal deposit. Even though not to use visual exploration equipment such as ROV, DTSSS, etc., traditional marine geophysical investigation approach might be a truly cost-effective tool for exploring seafloor hydrothermal massive deposit.

Recently data mining, which is analyzing the stored data and discovering potential knowledge and information in large database is a key research topic in database research data In this paper, we study methods of discovering association rules which are one of data mining techniques. And we propose a technique of discovering association rules using the relative support to consider significant rare data which have the high relative support among some data. And we compare and evaluate existing methods and the proposed method of discovering association rules for discovering significant rare data.

Self-potential and electrical resistivity methods were conducted for locating the auriferous mineralized zone, called Jija Vein, of Sambo mine, Limsu-ri, Haeje-myeon, Muahn-gun, Jeollanam-do. The host rocks of the mineralization include gneiss, rhyolite and felsic dyke. Ore vein is mainly fissured-filling type and sulfide minerals, such as pyrite, are disseminated in country rock. By the electrical responses from SP and surface resistivity methods., the mineralized zone is supposed to extend about 360 m directed N5W with the width of 20 m to 30 m. From resistivity tomograms using inclined borehole to surface, the ore body shape is interpreted as the width of 20 m in depth 40 m to 50 m.

Multi-channel seismic survey, which has been mainly employed in oil prospecting, is carried out as a high resolution shallow marine seismic exploration. Fault drop as small as 1 m can be resolved by employing high-resolution seismic survey. Similar to the effect of shallow inhomogenities in the land seismic data, due to occurrence of swell quite often higher than 1 m, shallow marine seismic data tend to be severely degraded. Suppression of such a swell effect is critical in processing of steps of marine seismic shallow high-resolution data. Compared to the moving average depth method, a newly developed method using cross-correlation technique is found out to be very effective in increasing the resolution of the shallow reflection events by accuratly elucidating the depth of sea bottom.

To detect the position and depth of buried underground utilities, method of Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) survey is the most commonly used. However, the skin-depth of GPR is very shallow, and in the places where subsurface materials are not homogeneous and are compose of clays and/or salts and gravels, GPR method has limitations in application and interpretation. The aim of this study is to overcome these limitations of GPR survey. For this purpose the site where the GPR survey is unsuccessful to detect the underground big pipes is selected, and soil tests were conducted to confirm the reason why GPR method was not applicable. Non-destructive high-frequency electromagnetic (HFEM) survey was newly developed and was applied in the study area to prove the effectiveness of this new technique. The frequency ranges $2kHz{\sim}4MHz$ and the skin depth is about 30m. The HFEM measures the electric field and magnetic field perpendicular to each other to get the impedance from which vertical electric resistivity distribution at the measured point can be deduced. By adopting the capacitive coupled electrodes, it can make the measuring time shorter, and can be applied to the places covered by asphalt an and/or concrete. In addition to the above mentioned advantages, noise due to high-voltage power line is much reduced by stacking the signals. As a result, the HFEM was successful in detecting the buried underground objects. Therefore this method is a promising new technique that can be applied in the lots of fields, such as geotechnical and archaeological surveys.

A seismic refraction study in estimation of depth to the bedrock demonstrates that 1) the average velocity in the medium is about 250 m/s in the surface layer (< 4 m), 2,500 m/s in the weathered formation, and greater than 3,000 m/s in the bedrock, 2) the depth to the deepest reflector assumed to be the bedrock is about 17 m; however, according to the cores collected in a borehole in study area, the bedrock (granite) occurred at depth 25 m, 3) according to the density and velocity logging, at depth 17 m, a measurable velocity and density increase are observed, and 4) the velocity of the weathered formation is relatively high and therefore, the acquisition offsets ($70{\sim}80m$) are turned out not to be long enough to record the refracted signal from the bedrock at depth 25 m as first arrivals.

하천원격탐사는 원격탐사의 하위 개념으로서 계측하고자 하는 대상인 하천이나 호소 수체에서 발생하는 빛의 반사, 복사 또는 방출되는 양을 획득하고 분석하여 수리량, 지형 등 하천 조사에 활용하는 기법이다. 일반적으로 원격탐사는 주로 위성영상 자료를 활용하여 수행되어 자료취득비용이 고가이고 해외 위성자료에 의존하여 시공간적인 해상도가 매우 낮아 유역에 비해 공간적인 규모가 작고 변동 시간이 짧은 하천에 적용하는 데 한계가 있어 왔다. 또한, 단순한 사진촬영으로 도출할 수 있는 정보에 한계가 있고 자료를 저장 및 분석할 수 있는 기법도 부족하여 하천조사에 원격탐사를 활용한 사례가 드물었다. 그러나, 최근 드론과 같은 운반체 기술이 획기적으로 개선되고 있고 다양한 영상촬영장비의 개발과 IT기술의 발전으로 인해 위성영상에 비해 시공간적 해상도가 매우 정밀한 자료를 저렴한 비용으로 획득 가능해졌다. 또한, 매우 조밀한 파장대로 세분된 빛의 세기를 측정할 수 있는 초분광 영상을 이용한 원격탐사기법도 하천과 같은 좁은 영역에 적용이 가능해졌다. 초분광영상은 가시광선 외에 자외선과 적외선 영역에 해당하는 반사광을 200개 이상의 조밀한 파장대로 나누어 측정할 수 있어 수리량, 하상, 식생 등 하천 수체와 관련된 정보를 조사할 가능성이 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천 수체에서 취득한 초분광 영상을 이용하여 하천특성과의 상관관계를 규명하고 이를 통해 초분광 영상 기반의 하천특성 계측 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 드론과 같은 항공영상에 적용하기 전에, 우선 지상에서 측정된 초분광 영상과 하상재료 및 수심과의 상관관계를 규명하여 초분광 영상의 하천조사로의 사용 가능성을 점검해 보았다. 폭 10m, 수심 1m의 저수심의 소하천에 적용한 결과, 초분광 영상의 표준화 및 패턴 분석을 통해 수중에 위치한 하상재료를 구분할 수 있었고 주성분분석 등을 통해 수심과 상관성도 일부 도출되어 하천조사에 초분광영상이 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Among the geophysical exploration methods, electromagnetic (EM) survey must have the broadest range of instrumental systems and remarkable range of applications. There is a plethora of available techniques and instruments, and the depth of investigation and resolution are highly dependent on the particular systems used according to their operating frequency and source-receiver configuration. This diversity of EM systems, however, provides a wide range of instruments or methodologies to choose in order to select the most appropriate tool for the task in hand. This rather than being a disadvantage, would be a major strength of EM methods. Modern EM equipments are remarkably portable, considering their sophistication. Coupled with major advances in recent computer technology, accurate modeling and interpretation techniques are on the way of continuous development and upgrade which, in turn, make the EM methods to become much more heavily used, especially for engineering and environmental applications. We aim to provide a brief theoretical principles, survey techniques and case histories of some selected EM methods that can be applied to geotechnical and environmental problems in Korea.
