Hemire is a 6000m class deep-sea ROV, which is recently developed by Maritime & Ocean Engineering Research Institute (MOERI) of Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute (KORDI) for 6 years since 2001, sponsored by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF). Hemire dove upto 1,065m for the first east sea trial last April, and touched a 2,026m bottom of the east sea last September. Finally, last November, Hemire reached a 5,775m bottom of the pacific ocean successfully. This showed our own technologies for design and development of a deep-sea ROV as 4th nation in the world, and we made a great step forward for deep-sea exploration. This paper describes a general overview of a 6000m class deep-sea ROV, and briefly explains development procedure of Hemire and Henuvy. Finally, results of sea trial are summarized.

To get the empirical data of GPR detection and to develop the image prosessing program of GPR detection data, GPR detection were proceed by the underground pipes and cavities buried in the Chamber. In the case of non pavement and asphalt pavement, water filled cavity that was buried in 0.7m depth was able to detection. But in the case of 1.0 m and 1.3 m buring depth, water filled cavity was not able to detection. In the case of non-reinforced and reinforced concrete pavement, it was difficult to detect the cavity caused by signal interference. GPRiPP programs was developed for image processing of the GPR detection data. The major processing algorithm were background removal, stacking and gain function. With proper image processing of gain function and background removal in GPRiPP program, it was showed that similar results can be obtained with conventional image processing program.

정부는 2005년부터 가스하이드레이트 개발사업단을 발족시켜 국내의 가스하이드레이트 부존 형태와 매장량 평가를 위해 노력하고 있다. 2005년 2차원 정밀 물리탐사, 심해 퇴적물 채취 및 다각적 분석연구사업이 수행되었고, 2006년도에는 3차원 물리탐사, 개발기술을 위한 연구 및 지질재해${\cdot}$안정성 연구 등이 수행되었다. 또한 2007년 상반기에 동해 지역에서 해저면 표면에서 피스톤 코어를 이용하여 실물 샘플을 채취하는 데 성공하였다. 기존에 취득된 다양한 자료를 면밀히 분석하고 해석한 결과를 바탕으로 2007년도 하반기에 시추를 진행 중에 있다. 시추를 통하여 동해지역의 가스하이드레이트의 부존 형태 파악 및 추정 매장량을 산출할 수 있는 좋은 결과가 취득될 것으로 기대하고 있다. 시추는 다양한 검층 및 압력코어 시스템을 포함한 코어채취가 수행되고 있다. 취득된 시추 결과를 이용하여 사업단은 가스하이드레이트 개발을 위한 보다 나은 결과를 도출한 것이며 이를 통해 미래 에너지원의 확보 및 자원 강국으로 가는 초석을 마련하게 될 것으로 기대한다.

2000년대 들어 주기적으로 발생하고 있는 봄 가뭄에 대한 적절한 대책 마련을 위해서는 가뭄을 모니터링 할 수 있는 감시체계가 필요하며 가뭄의 심도를 정량적으로 나타내기 위한 지표가 요구된다. 또한, 가뭄의 거동 및 지역적인 심도 분석을 위해서는 면 단위의 공간적인 분석이 요구된다. 위성영상은 공간정보를 신속하고 주기적으로 제공할 수 있는 도구로 위성영상의 밴드 조합을 통해 제작된 식생지수는 1990년대 중반 이후 건조지역을 중심으로 가뭄 모니터링을 위한 도구로 활용 중이다. 본 연구에서는 MODIS 영상으로부터 제작된 정규식생지수(NDVI)를 이용하여 식생상태지수(VCI)와 정규화된 식생지수(SVI)를 제작하였으며 2000년$\sim$2007년을 대상으로 가뭄발생연도, 각 가뭄사상에 대한 심도, 가뭄다발 시기 및 다발지역을 분석하였다.

Electromagnetic(EM) survey has been in use for over a half century as a standard routine for, mineral exploration in many parts of the world. But EM survey work and serious research effort were initiated in Korea only as late as in early 1980s, largely inspired by four pioneers who did their graduate studies in the U.S.A. in 1970s. Nevertheless domestic achievements in the field of EM survey are remarkable in the last two decades: the field operations and related interpretational skills appear to have reached a global standard, even compared with the most advanced in other countries, virtually in a whole spectrum of the method which includes magneto-tellurics(MT), Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magneto-tellurics(CSAMT), geomagnetic sounding, small loop survey systems, Very Low Frequency(VLF), Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR), time domain surveys, and noise analysis. Besides mineral exploration, EM survey has been applied in Korea to hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering, non-destructive investigation of structures, unexplored ordnance(UXO) investigation, environmental monitoring, and archaeological investigation as well. Now that original contributions of several Korean geophysicists are found even in new frontiers such as high-frequency EM survey, investigation in time-domain EM field for buried metal objects and structures, and also modem data inversion scheme, it is duly hoped that they make some technical breakthrough to unravel still entangled knots of EM survey method in a forseeable future.

Lots of various utilities are buried under the surface. The effective management of underground utilities is becoming the very important subject for the harmonious administration of the city. Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) survey including other various underground survey methods, is mainly used to detect the position and depth of buried underground utilities. However, GPR is not applicable, under the circumstances of shallow depth and places, where subsurface materials are inhomogeneous and are composed of clay, salt and gravels. The aim of this study is to overcome these limitations of GPR and other underground surveys. High-frequency electromagnetic (HFEM) method is developed for the non-destructive precise deep surveying of underground utilities. The method is applied in the site where current underground surveys are useless to detect the underground big pipes, because of poor geotechnical environment. As a result, HFEM survey was very successful in detecting the buried shallow and deep underground pipes and in obtaining the geotechnical information, although other underground surveys including GPR were not applicable. Therefore this method is a promising new technique in the lots of fields, such as underground surveying and archaeology.

In this study, an electrical resistivity survey and a drilling investigation were conducted at an animal carcass disposal site. Chemical analysis of leachate collected from the site was also performed (sampling times: May 2011 and June 2012). Five lines of dipole-dipole electrical resistivity surveys were carried out, along with drilling investigations at 3 points within the disposal areas and 11 points near the disposal site. Two-dimensional inverse modeling of the collected resistivity data was performed to evaluate the properties (size, depth, and form) of the disposal site. Leachate analysis showed that pH of leachate decreased from 7.4 to 6.7, while Eh changed from -358 mV to -48 mV over time. In addition, dissolved ions increased due to the progression of carcass decomposition. Results of the electrical resistivity survey indicated that low resistivity zones (minimum value, $0.64{\Omega}m$) existed at a depth of 8 m from the surface. Considering the bedrock location and carcass disposal depth, there was no evidence of bedrock contamination by leachate. The results of the electrical resistivity survey are consistent with those of the drilling investigation, which indicates that electrical resistivity effectively depicted the properties of the disposal site. This study demonstrates that electrical resistivity survey is a suitable technique for investigation of animal carcass disposal sites.

HEMIRE is a 6,000-meter-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that has been developed for observation and sampling of objects of interest on the deep seabed. We first carried out deep-seabed exploration around the slopes of the Hupo Bank and the Ulleung Basin in the East Sea in June 2015. Over two weeks, a total of 10 dives were made from a support ship, the R/V Onnuri, at eight stations with water depth ranging between 194 and 2,080 m. The dive times ranged from 1 to 6 hours, depending on the operating conditions. We obtained the following results: 1) video images of the deep seafloor; 2) red snow crab density data (a major fishery resource) and inventories of deep-sea fauna, including an unrecorded organism; 3) specific topographies such as canyons slopes; 4) an undisturbed sediment core obtained using a push corer; and 5) observations of the seabed surface covered with discarded anthropogenic waste material.
