As the global warming has been influenced on various sectors including agriculture, fisheries and health, it is essential to project more accurate future climate for an assessment of climate change impact and adaptation strategy. The purpose of this study is to examine the boundary changes in the subtropical climate region in South Korea using observed 30-year(1971-2000) data and projected 100-year data based on the IPCC SRES A1B emission scenario. We have selected Trewartha's climate classification among various climate classification, defining the subtropical climate region as the region with monthly mean temperature $10^{\circ}C$ or higher during 8-12 months. By observed data, the subtropical climate region was only limited in Jeju-do and the farmost southern coastal area(Busan, Tongyeong, Geoje, Yeosu, Wando, Mokpo) of South Korea. The future projected climate region for the period of 2071-2100 included have shown that subtropical climate region extended to most of stations except for the ares of Taebaeksan and Sobaeksan Mountains.

The rise in sea surface temperature (SST) as a global warming enhance overall typhoon activity. We assumed that there exist thermodynamic limits to intensity that apply in the absence of significant interaction between storms and their environment. The limit calculations depend on SST and atmospheric profiles of temperature and moisture. This approach do appear to provide resonable upper bounds on the intensities of observed storms and may even be useful for predicting the change in intensity over a long period time. The maximum storm intensities was estimated through the global warming scenarios from IPCC-AR4 report over the North-East Asia. The result shows stronger intensities according to scenarios for increase of carbon dioxide levels. And storm surge simulations was performed with the typhoons which were combined route of the typhoon Maemi (2003) and intensity as climate change scenarios. The maximum increase of storm surge heights was shown about 29~110 cm (36~65%) regionally. Especially at Masan, the result of simulated maximum surge height exceed the 200 years return period surge.

The SWAT model was used to assess the impacts of potential future climate change on the hydrology of the Upper Geum River Basin(UGRB). Calibration and validation of SWAT were performed on a monthly basis for 1982-1995 and 1996-2005, respectively. The impact of ten 15-year(1988-2002) scenarios were then analyzed relative to a scenario baseline. Among them, scenario 1-6 were set to show the sensitivity response. A doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration was predicted to result in an maximum monthly flow increase of 11 percent. Non-linear impacts were predicted among precipitation change scenarios of -42, -17, 17, and 42 percent, which resulted in average annual flow changes in UGRB of -55, -24, 26, and 65 percent.

The purpose of this study is to develop learning modules for environmental education using goal-based scenarios and to examine their pedagogical benefits at the elementary educational level. To enhance environmental knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior, this research developed learning modules relevant to three sub-dimensions of environmental education: education about environment, education in environment, and education for environment. In particular, this study provided useful educational strategies based on students' everyday lives. The developed modules consisted of three parts: 1) acquiring knowledge concerning the cause of global warming, 2) practicing and internalizing environmental knowledge in students' everyday lives, and 3) extending and disseminating environmental knowledge and awareness to other people. After applying the modules, the students acquired knowledge regarding the causes of global warming through discussions with their peers, and furthermore, exercised pro-environmental behaviors in their everyday lives. Moreover, the participants created UCC to urge other people to act for environment.

The changes in rice climatic yield potential (CYP) across the Korean Peninsula are evaluated based on the new climate change scenario produced by the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences with 18 ensemble members at 1 km resolution under a Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) emission scenarios. To overcome the data availability, we utilize solar radiation f or CYP instead of sunshine duration which is relatively uncommon in the climate prediction f ield. The result show that maximum CYP(CYPmax) decreased, and the optimal heading date is progressively delayed under warmer temperature conditions compared to the current climate. This trend is particularly pronounced in the SSP5-85 scenario, indicating faster warming, except for the northeastern mountainous regions of North Korea. This shows the benef its of lower emission scenarios and pursuing more efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, the CYPmax shows a wide range of feasible futures, which shows inherent uncertainties in f uture climate projections and the risks when analyzing a single model or a small number of model results, highlighting the importance of the ensemble approach. The f indings of this study on changes in rice productivity and uncertainties in temperature and solar radiation during the 21st century, based on climate change scenarios, hold value as f undamental information for climate change adaptation efforts.

전 세계는 지난 135년간(1880~2014년) 지구온난화에 따른 빈번해진 이상기후로 평균 기온은 $0.85^{\circ}C$ 상승하였으며 이로 인해 강우강도, 강우량이 증가하고 있다. 이처럼 기후변화는 수문현상에 많은 영향을 미쳐 물 순환 과정의 정확한 파악을 더욱 어렵게 하고 있으며 안정적인 물 공급을 위한 수자원계획 수립에 불확실성을 증대 시키고 있기 때문에 정확한 물 수요 예측이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한반도 중서부에 위치한 안성천을 대상으로 준 분포 강우-유출 모형인 SLURP모형에 기후변화 RCP8.5 시나리오를 적용하여 기후변화에 따른 안성천의 유출량을 산정하였다. 정확한 물 수요 예측을 위해 K-Weap(통합수자원평가계획모형)모형을 통해 유역별 네트워크 및 시나리오를 구성하고, 용수이용량(생활, 공업, 농업)의 과거자료를 선형예측함수식을 통해 장래 추정량을 생성 하였다. 이처럼 세분화된 자료를 통한 물 수지 분석 결과, 안성천 유역은 인구 증가, 급격한 도시화로 인한 용수 이용량 증가 그리고 기후변화에 따른 지구온난화로 인해 농업용수는 점차적으로 물 부족이 감소하고 있지만, 생활, 공업용수 이용량에 대한 물 부족량이 증가하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 물 부족을 해소할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 2가지의 대안을 구성해보았으며, 먼 미래의 물 부족시대에 대비할 수 있는 기초적인 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

한반도의 기후변화는 전 세계 평균보다도 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 최근 빈발하고 있는 태풍 및 극한 강우, 폭설과 한파, 온난화 현상 등이 그 예이다. 특히 북한지역은 오랜 식량난과 에너지난으로 산림생태계가 훼손되어 홍수 및 이수와 같은 기후변화 관련 자연재해에 매우 취약하다. 이렇게 예상되는 대규모 자연재해를 대비하고 기후변화에 효율적으로 대처하기 위해서는 체계적이고 과학적인 기상 및 기후 예측 정보의 활용이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 북한지역은 우리가 수문자료를 구하기가 힘들고, 직접 측정을 할 수 없으므로 수문자료의 수집에 한계가 있기 때문에 기후변화관련 수문연구에 한계점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 WMO에서 제공하고 있는 북한의 27개 기상관측소의 강수량, 기온자료와 기상청의 RCP8.5기후변화시나리오를 제공 받아 각 관측소별 미래 잠재증발산량을 산정하였다. 또한 lumped conceptual model인 WASMOD 모형을 이용하여 북한의 대표유역(금야강, 대동강, 두만강, 압록강, 예성강, 임진강, 장연남대천)에 적용하여 부족한 수문시계열자료를 산정하였다. 이렇게 산정된 북한의 미래 수문순환요소의 시계열자료를 이용하여 통계분석, 변화점분석, 유황분석등 시계열 분석 등을 통해 RCP8.5기후변화시나리오 기반의 기후변화가 북한지역의 수문순환과정에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이를 통해 유역규모의 수자원에 미치는 영향을 전망하였다.

Despite the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide have steadily increased in atmosphere, the overall trend of the global average surface air temperature has stalled during the last decade (2002-present). This phenomenon is often called hiatus or warming pause, which is challenging the prevailing view that anthropogenic forcing causes warming environment. Our study characterized the hiatus by analyzing the HadGEM2-AO (95 yrs) simulation data based on RCP8.5 scenario. The PC2 time series from the EOF of the zonal mean vertical ocean temperature has been defined as the index that represents the warming pause. The relationship between the hiatus, ENSO and the changes in climate system are identified by utilizing the newly defined PC2. Since the La Nina index (defined as the negative of NINO3 index) leads PC2 by about 11 months, it may be possible that the La Nina causes the warming to be interrupted. We also show that the cooling of the climate system closed tied to the heat penetration into the deep ocean, indicating the weakening the warming rate is due to the oceanic heat uptake. Finally, the global warming hiatus is characterized by the anomalous warming in Arctic region as well as the intensification of the trade wind in the equatorial Pacific.
