Since entered into force in 1994, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) would require all the member nations to adopt national programme for mitigating climate change and industrialized countries to undertake specific commitments of carbon dioxide emission reduction. Considering all the situation, it may be safe to assume that Korea would undertake such commitment early in the next century. Unfortunately, however, we are in the position that is very disadvantageous in preparing national strategies for carbon dioxide reduction mainly due to our rigid energy-intensive economic structure and poor geographic conditions. Solar energy is regarded as most available renewable energy resource in Korea and hence development of solar energy technology would serve as one of most effective alternatives for energy conservation and renewable energy utilization. In this regard, the presenting paper discuss the perspectives on solar energy development in relation to carbon dioxide reduction strategies. Such technologies of solar cell mass production and solar heating were considered to be most advantageous among many solar energy solutions discussed in this paper.

To properly interpret and define climatic warming trends of the last $100\~150$ years.; climatic changes over the past several centuries must be constrained. High resolution surface air temperatures (SATs) to reconstruct global temperature trends extend back only to the late of 19th century. Fortunately, on long time scale and over large areas, ground surface temperatures (GSTs) track SATs. GST changes penetrate into the subsurface and are recorded as transient temperature perturbation. Therefore, borehole temperatures can be used to recover climate change over the last millennium in an area; paleoclimate change inferred from borehole temperatures can be used to interpret global warming over the last century, little ice age, and medieval warm period.

최근 지구온난화로 인한 이상기후의 영향으로 강우일수는 줄고 있으나 강수량은 예년과 비슷한 수준을 보이고 있다. 이로 인해 갈수기의 용수부족 현상은 더욱 심해지고. 장마철의 홍수피해와 게릴라성 집중호우로 인한 피해가 커지는 등 해가 갈수록 홍수 예경보의 중요성은 더욱 높아지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 현재 홍수 예경보 체계는 몇 가지 문제를 가지고 있다. 기존 예경보 체계의 경우 한 번의 예측을 수행하기 위해 수반되는 전처리과정과 주계산과정을 거치는 동안 각 과정에서 발생한 오차들이 반복, 누적되어 최종 결과물(예측된 유출량) 속에 모두 포함된다. 또한 기존 체계에서는 유출모형을 적용하기 위해서 토양형. 피복상태 등에 관련된 매개변수들이 필요한데. 이러한 매개변수의 결정에 어려움이 있고. 불확실성을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 불확실성을 적극적으로 인정하고 수학적으로 해석하려는 fuzzy 이론을 신경망 이론에 도입하여 홍수 예경보 시스템의 운영과정에서 발생하는 불확실성의 문제를 해결하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System)은 data driven model(자료에 기반을 둔 모형)의 하나로 다음과 같은 장점을 가진다. 우선 data driven model은 유역의 물리적, 지형적 특성을 고려하지 않고(매개변수설정에서 발생하는 문제 해결 가능), 입력자료와 출력자료만을 고려하여 구축되는 모형이므로, 유역의 물리적 자료나 지형 자료와 같은 방대한 양의 자료 수집이 필요 없고, 일단 모형이 구축되면 자료의 입력만으로도 신뢰성 높은 결과를 단시간 내에 효율적으로 획득할 수 있다. 그리고 유역 내의 상황이 변화하더라도, 이들의 영향을 고려하여 쉽게 모형을 갱신할 수 있다. 마지막으로 모형의 구축 과정이 물리적 모형에 비해 비교적 간편하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 ANFIS를 통해 탄천유역의 강수량 자료와 대곡교의 수위자료를 입력자료로 사용하여 대곡교의 수위를 예측하였다. 입력 자료는 시간차 계열의 강우량과 수위 자료를 사용하였으며 모형을 통하여 t+1, t+2, t+3 시간 후의 수위를 예측하였다.

최근 지구온난화로 인한 기상 이변의 이유로 우리나라뿐만 아니라 세계 여러 국가에서 홍수 및 가뭄이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 특히 우리나라에서는 게릴라성 호우가 빈번히 발생하여 저지대 및 많은 지역에서 홍수가 발생하고 있으며, 연평균 총 강우량은 매년 비슷하나 게릴라성 호우와 같은 폭우의 빈도가 증가되고 있어 상대적으로 과거에 비해 가뭄의 발생기간도 길어지는 실정이다. 다시 말하면 게릴라성 호우와 같은 폭우는 잦아졌지만 강수량 자체는 감소하는 추세이다. 이는 홍수와 가뭄의 위험이 더 커졌다는 것을 의미한다. 이에 우리지역의 전체 물 이용 및 관리의 효율화가 필수적이며, 물 이용량의 약 50%를 차지하는 농업용수의 효율적 이용 및 관리가 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 관개기에 필요한 물이 얼마나 사용이 되는지에 대한 작물의 생육시기별 필요수량을 산정하고, 산정된 필요수량의 갈수빈도분석을 실시하고자 한다. 갈수빈도분석을 통해 재현기간에 따른 작물의 순별 필요수량 따라 저류조에 유입되는 빗물의 양으로 얼마만큼 해결이 되는지 확인하여 빗물의 사용량을 산정하여 저류조의 적정 용량을 검토하고자 한다. 작물계수를 이용하여 작물별 필요수량은 HOMWRS　프로그램을 이용하여 산정하며, 작물별 생육시기에 따른 필요수량에 대한 갈수빈도분석은 수문 통계 분석과 적합도 검정을 통하여 GUM, PT3, GEV, GLO, GPA 및 GNO분포를 대상으로 적정 분포를 선정한다. 선정된 분포형을 통해 재배작물별 생육시기에 따른 필요수량 계열의 설계 필요수량을 산정한다. 이에 따른 필요수량과 갈수빈도분석 결과를 통해 재배작물의 순별 수요량을 추정한다. 재배작물의 순별 물 수요와 잠재적인 저류조의 높이를 통해 빗물을 얼마만큼 재이용할 수 있는지에 대한 수용 비율(sufficiency ratio)을 산정하고. 순별 수요량에 따른 밭 작물의 적정 빗물 저류조 용량을 결정하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

In this study, quantitative environmental impact assessments of the VSL anchor and RB(Reaming and Bearing) anchor systems were conducted after a life-cycle assessment (LCA). In addition, improvements which reduce the adverse environmental effects of the RB anchor system were confirmed through comparisons with results with a VSL anchor system. Both results showed that water ecotoxicity and global warming are the most important in environmental influences. To determine the effect of reducing the RB anchor system environment, the result was normalized for the environmental impact category. Most items appeared to have been improved with regard to the RB anchor system. The most significant improvement was a 77% decrease in POC levels(photochemical oxidant creation). Greenhouse gas emissions, related to global warming, were decreased by 44%. It is expected that these quantitative environmental impact assessment results will serve as the basis of an anchor system for civil engineering and environmental impact assessments.

지구온난화로 인한 기후변화에 따라 평균강수량과 증발량이 증가하며 강우지역 집중화와 강우강도가 높아질 가능성이 크다. 우리나라의 경우 협소한 국토면적과 높은 인구밀도로 기후변동의 영향이 크기 때문에 한반도에 적합한 유역규모의 수자원 예측과 대응방안을 마련해야 한다. 이를 위한 수자원 관리를 위해서는 유역에서 강수량, 유출량, 증발량 등의 장기적인 자료가 필요하며 경험식, 물리적 강우-유출 모형 등이 사용되었고, 최근들어 연구의 확장성과 비 선형성 등을 고려하기 위해 딥러닝등 인공지능 기술들이 접목되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ASOS(동해, 태백)와 AWS(삼척, 신기, 도계) 5곳의 관측소에서 2011년~2020년까지의 일 단위 기상관측자료를 수집하고 WAMIS에서 같은 기간의 오십천 하구 일 유출량 자료를 수집 후 5개 관측소를 기준으로Thiessen 면적비를 적용해 기상자료를 구축했으며 Angstrom & Hargreaves 공식으로 잠재증발산량 산정해 3개의 모델에 각각 기상자료(일 강수량, 최고기온, 최대 순간 풍속, 최저기온, 평균풍속, 평균기온), 일 강수량과 잠재증발산량, 일 강수량 - 잠재증발산량을 학습 후 관측 유출량과 비교결과 기상자료(일 강수량, 최고기온, 최대 순간 풍속, 최저기온, 평균풍속, 평균기온)로 학습한 모델성능이 가장 높아 최적 모델로 선정했으며 일, 월, 연 관측유출량 시계열과 비교했다. 또한 같은 학습자료를 사용해 다층 퍼셉트론(Multi Layer Perceptron, MLP) 앙상블 모델을 구축하여 수자원 분야에서의 인공지능 활용성을 평가했다.

Although the young spike of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) or wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is known as the most susceptible part to spring cold injury, the risk of cold injury is apt to be ignored in most breeding program due to the importance of early maturity. Based on these aspects, the types and inducing time, temperature conditions for induction and effects of cold injury on growth and yield in this study were investigated under greenhouse and field conditions through three years (1997-1999). In natural condition, low temperature around -2.4∼$-10.2^{\circ}C$ caused the death of plant. Several cold injury types such as partial degeneration of spike, partial discoloration of leaf, spike and awn, discoloration of culm and white spike were observed at low temperature around $-3.1^{\circ}C$. Low temperature around -2.4∼$-8.6^{\circ}C$ and 1.3-$7.6^{\circ}C$ caused degeneration and sterility of spike, respectively. Most materials were prepared to the spikelet foundation stage, spikelet differentiation stage, development stage of flower organ, booting stage and heading stage, which were known having risk for cold injury in field condition. Although most of the controlled stages were sensitive to the induced low temperature, booting stage was the most sensitive stage for cold injury. All of growth stages which were treated-heading stage, booting stage, development stage of flower organ, spikelet differentiation stage, spikelet foundation stage-were responded to low temperature treatment but the symptoms revealed were very specific according to the growth stages. Ears of plant in heading stage were discolored to white. Ears of plant in booting stage were degenerated in all or part of one. Plants in spikelet differentiation stage were sterile in all or part of one. When tried to detect the specific differences between normal and cold injured plants in appearance, spike length, distance between spike and flag leaf and the first internode length could be the critical points for occurrence of spike death caused by cold injury. In barley, the elongation of spike was stopped on 3.2cm after occurrence of spike degeneration, 4.7cm after occurrence of partial degeneration of spike, 5.0cm after occurrence of white spike. In wheat, it was stopped on 1.6cm after occurrence of stem death, 3.3cm after occurrence of spike degeneration, 8.3cm after occurrence of partial degeneration of spike, 8.1cm after occurrence of white spike, 7.5cm after partial discoloration of leaf and 9.3cm after partial discoloration of spike. The obtained results from low temperature treatment induced in growth chamber were similar to the field experiment, Beacuse the death of spikes was more when low temperature was treated two times than one times, the temperature should be upgrade to -3$^{\circ}C$ in order to get the same condition with field test.

It was firstly revealed in this research that the marine terrace of the Ijin-ri (Bukpyung-myeon, Haenam-gun) was formed during the last interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage 5e; MIS 5e). The marine terrace totally ranging from 4.8 m (asl) to 8.8 m (asl) is subdivided into 4 units; Unit I ranges 4.8-5.3 m, unit II ranges 5.3-6.9 m, unit III ranges 6.9-8.3 m, and unit IV ranges 8.3-8.8 m. Strong evidences that units II and III were formed during MIS5e were obtained based on OSL dating, the physical characterizations such as particle size distribution, magnetic susceptibility and water content, principal element and trace element analyses, and quantitative clay mineral analysis for samples at the 30 cm intervals. The rounded gravels on the marine terrace are regarded to be originated from the clastic materials transported directly from the surrounding mountains toward the marine and abraded in the coastal area, without any fluvial processes. During the warmest period (125k, unit II), the increase in rainfall, along with the rapid rise in sea level, was likely caused the high amount of clastic materials transported to the upper part of the beach. As a result of comparing clay mineral ratios of study site with those derived from sediments of either tidal flats, or the Yellow Sea, it is interpreted that the sediments of study site were influenced from the marine. The results will be used to investigate the hydrological activity and sedimentary environment during the high sea level in the past.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted several regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships. In addition, there is a requirement for shipping liners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Accordingly, we need to take measurements to ensure that the steps taken are both efficient and environmentally friendly. It has been determined that the application of the Miller cycle in diesel engines has the effect of both reducing the amount of NOx and improving thermal efficiency. However, this method requires a considerably larger charge air pressure. Therefore, we consider a two-stage turbo-charging system, which not only results in a high charging pressure, but also improves the part load performance with an exhaust-gas bypass system or the application of the Miller cycle. Because of complications associated with the two-stage turbo-charging system, it is complex and difficult to realize a design that optimizes matching between diesel engine and turbo-chargers. Accordingly, it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis to determine the effects and optimal conditions of these different systems in the early stage of system design. In this paper, we develop a simulation program to model these systems, and we verify that the results of this program are reliable. Further, we discuss methods that can be employed to improve its efficiency.

Present work aims to investigate the species composition, physiognomy and distribution of arctic-alpine and alpine plants(AAP) of the Korean Peninsula. The dominance of AAP in the northern Korea may be due to the frequent exchanges of floras with circumpolar regions for the seek of the glacial refugia during the alternate Pleistocene glacial epochs. The post-glacial climatic amelioration pushed AAP back northwards and upwards, so they now shows disjunctive distribution on separate mountain tops. The diverse morphological adaptations of AAP to severe environmental conditions, viz. the dominance of perennial species, stunted tree growth, multiple protection of leaves, krummholz, and dwarf shrubs, are the result of long-term graduall development which have safeguarded the survival of AAP in a such a harsh cryo-climatic area. The appearance of the Korean endemic AAP reflects the long-term isolation of species in Korea, and the local environmental diversities which have both accentuated this isolation and aided the development of genetic diversity. Evergreen broad-leaved AAP at c. 1,500m to 1,800m and above are now endangered because of the competition from down-slope plants, and from the global warming.
