The errors between track segments or at the cross-over points of shipborne gravity were successfully reduced by applying a cross-over error adjustment technique using satellite gravity. The integration of shipborne and satellite altimeter-implied free-air gravity anomalies after the cross-over error adjustment resulted in a high resolution gravity map which contains both short and long wavelength components. The successful adjustment of the cross-over errors in the shipborne gravity using the satellite gravity suggests that the shipborne gravity can be combined with the satellite anomalies characterized by a stable and long wavelength component. The resulting free-air anomaly map is evenly harmonized with both short and long wavelength anomalies. Thus the corrected anomaly map can be better used for the geological interpretation. Free-air anomalies with more than 140 mGal in total variations generally correspond to the seafloor topographic changes in their regional patterns. A series of gravity highs are aligned from the Korea Plateau to the Oki Island, which are interpreted to be caused by seamounts or volcanic topographies. The gravity minima along the western and southern shelf edge are associated not only with the local basement morphology and thick sediment fill at the continental margin, but also possibly with the crustal edge effect known for passive continental margins. Series of NE-trending linear anomalies are possibly caused by a swarm of volcanic intrusions followed the initial opening of the Ulleung Basin. The linear high anomalies in the Ulleung Plateau are terminated by the straightly NNW-trending anomalies with a sharp gradient in its western boundary which indicates a fault-line scarp. The opposite side adjoined with the fault-line scarp shows no correlation with the fault-line scarp in geometry indicating that the block might be horizontally slided from the north. A gravity high in contrast to the deepening in seafloor toward the northeastern central Ulleung Basin is probably responsible for the thin crust and shallow seated mantle.

Even after the Gyeongju earthquake and the Pohang earthquake, hundreds of aftershocks and micro-earthquakes are still occurring in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. These phenomena mean that the stress is constantly working, implying that another huge earthquake may occur in the future. Therefore, the gravity field interpretation method was used to analyze the deep geological structure of the Pohang-Ulsan region in the southeastern Korean Peninsula. First, a gravity survey was performed to collect the insufficient data and to calculate the detailed Bouguer gravity anomaly in the study area. Based on the gravity anomaly data, the location, direction, and maximum depth of deep fault lines were analyzed using the inversion methods "Curvature analysis" and "Euler deconvolution method". As a result, it is interpreted that at least six fault lines(C1~C6) exist in deep depth. The deep fault line C1 is well correlated to the Yeonil Tectonic Line(YTL), suggesting that YTL is extended up to about 4000m deep. The deep fault line C2 consists of several segment faults and well correlated to the fault lines on the surface. Inferred fault lines C3, C4, and C5 have an NW-SE direction, which is parallel to the Ulsan fault. The deep fault line C6 has the direction of NE-SW, and it is interpreted that the eastern boundary fault of Eoil Basin is extended to the deep. Comparing the inferred fault lines with the distribution of micro-earthquakes, the location of the deep fault line C1 is well correlated to the hypocenter of micro-earthquakes. This implies that faults in deep depth are related to the recent earthquakes in the southeastern Korean Peninsula.

A long-term prediction algorithm of geostationary orbit was developed using the analytical method. The perturbation force models include geopotential upto fifth order and degree and luni-solar gravitation, and solar radiation pressure. All of the perturbation effects were analyzed by secular variations, short-period variations, and long-period variations for equinoctial elements such as the semi-major axis, eccentricity vector, inclination vector, and mean longitude of the satellite. Result of the analytical orbit propagator was compared with that of the cowell orbit propagator for the KOREASAT. The comparison indicated that the analytical solution could predict the semi-major axis with an accuracy of better than $pm35$ meters over a period of 3 month.

Geosynthetics are generally utilized to restrain the leakage of leachate and other contaminants during the construction of offshore waste landfill. Therefore, geosynthetic-soil interface is formed inevitably. In this study, 2 dimensional numerical analysis is performed to assess the dynamic behaviour of the offshore waste landfill including geosynthetic-soil interface. Offshore waste landfill can be divided into rubble mound revetment and retaining wall types and analyzed on each type. Effective stress analysis is conducted to consider the variation of pore water pressure and axial force and shear displacement of the interface are compared based on the characteristics of seismic frequency. Consequently, retaining wall type demonstrates more stable behavior against liquefaction potential and favorable forces and shear displacement.

In this work variations of orbital parameters are first derived from the perturbation equations using difference equation method under Earth oblateness and atmospheric drag. A simple and effective scheme is proposed to compute the required delta v and fuel consumption to compensate for atmospheric drag. The scheme is applied to KOMPSAT example. And by means of numerical simulations we quantitatively analyze influences due to each perturbation source, i.e., nonspherical Earth, atmospheric drag, third body gravities (Sun, Moon), and solar radiation.

Although an amount of hydrocarbon has been discovered in the West Korea Bay Basin (WKBB), located in the North Korean offshore area, geophysical investigations associated with these hydrocarbon reservoirs are not permitted because of the current geopolitical situation. Interpretation of satellite derived potential field data can be alternatively used to image three-dimensional (3D) density distribution in the sedimentary basin associated with hydrocarbon deposits. We interpreted the TRIDENT satellite-derived gravity field data to provide detailed insights into the spatial distribution of sedimentary density structures in the WKBB. We used 3D forward density modeling for the interpretation that incorporated constraints from existing geological and geophysical information. The gravity data interpretation and 3D forward modeling showed that there are two modeled areas in the central subbasin that are characterized by very low density structures, with a maximum density of about $2,000kg/m^3$, indicating some type of hydrocarbon reservoir. One of the anticipated hydrocarbon reservoirs is located in the southern part of the central subbasin with a volume of about $250km^3$ at a depth of about 3,000 m in the Cretaceous/Jurassic layer. The other hydrocarbon reservoir should exist in the northern part of the central subbasin, with an average volume of about $300km^3$ at a depth of about 2,500 m. A comparison between the TRIDENT derived gravity field and the ship-based gravity field measured in 1980s shows us that our results are highly reliable and there is a very high probability to detect another low-density layer existings in the northwestern part of the central subbasin.

The short and long periodic perturbations and secular perturbation due to the geopotentials of degree $J_2$ and $J_3$ which affect orbital elements of a near-circular orbiting satellite are obtained by the analytical method. The singular points due to a small denominator e in the perturbation equations can be excluded using one of the methods introduced by Taff(1985), which substitutes $e_s=esin\omega,\;e_c=ecos\omega\;and\;\ell=\omega+M$ for the orbital elements e, $\omega$ and M. We determined the mean orbital elements of the meteorological satellite NOAA-10 using the Walter (1967)'s iterative procedure and compared with Brouwer's mean orbital elements determined at NASA. The mean orbital elements a, ⅰand $\Omega$ are consistent with those of NASA but the mean orgital elements e, $\omega$ and M have some deviations from those of NASA. According to the our results, it is not suitable for the polar orbiting satellites to use the Taff's proposal for excluding the singular points, which substitutes e, $\omega$ and M by $e_s=esin(\Omega+\omega),\;e_c=ecos(\Omega+\omega)\;and\;L=\Omega+\omega+M$.

We introduce a new method to construct wormholes without adopting exotic matters in Einstein-Born-Infeld gravity with a negative cosmological constant. Contrary to the conventional method, the throat of the wormhole is located at the point where the metric solutions are joined smoothly. Thus, exotic matters are not needed to sustain the throat. We consider the behavior of a minimally coupled scalar field to study the stability of the new wormhole. If we define the quasinormal mode of the scalar field as the purely ingoing flux at the throat of the wormhole, the stability of wormhole can be discussed in analogy with the argument that we use for the stability of a black hole. Because an analytic solution can not be found, we suggest a formalism to find quasinormal modes numerically. The crucial difference from the black hole case is that the coefficient of the second-order derivative term of the radial equation is expanded from n = -1, which is contrary to the black hole case where it is expanded from n = 0.

처마 끝에 열리는 고드름은 흔히 겨울철에 내린 눈이 지붕위에 쌓여 있다가 따사로운 햇살이 비치면 녹은 눈이 중력에 의해 흘러내리면서 영하의 찬 기류에 얼면서 성장하여 길게 매달린다. 그러나 땅바닥이나 물그릇 속에서 위로 자라 올라오는 역고드름은 특별히 그곳에서만 지상의 역 중력이 작용할 이유가 없기 때문에 간단히 해석되기가 쉽지 않다. 겨울밤에 정안수를 놋그릇에 떠놓고 공불기도를 올리다가 물이 어면서 나타나는 기이한 역 고드름은 물이 얼면서 생긴 표면의 숨구멍을 통하여 물보다 저밀도인 얼음의 체적이 불어서 밀려나오면서 생길 수 있으나, 이 현상만으로는 역고드름이 그렇게 크게 자랄 수가 얼다. 따라서 이 경우는 주변에서 불어오는 찬 기류가 지형지물에 부딪히면서 회오리쳐 소슬바람을 일으킬 때 일시적인 부압이 작용하여 그릇속의 물이 숨구멍을 통해 나오면서 얼어 성장되는 현상이 부가적으로 상승작용을 일으켜 길게 자라 올라온 것이다.

이 연구의 목적은 고해상도 합성개구레이더 센서를 탑재한 관측위성의 운용요구사항에 맞춰 임무기간 동안 관측 목표지역을 주기적으로 반복하고 지상궤적을 $\pm2km$ 범위 내에서 안정성을 갖도록 유지 조정하는 궤도제어 알고리즘 연구를 수행하는데 있다. 기존에 수행되어 왔던 지상궤적에 대한 오차를 해석적으로 계산하여 궤도를 유지 조정하는 방법이 아닌 기준궤도에 대하여 상대좌표계에서 표현된 위성의 실제 접촉궤도를 기준궤도와 직접적으로 비교하여 목표궤적을 유지 조정하는 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 첫째, 고해상도 관측위성의 운용요구사항을 만족하는 계획된 목표궤도인 기준궤도를 설계하였다. 기본적으로 기준궤도는 임무 설계 시 완전한 주기성이 고려된 최대한 실제에 가까운 궤도이기 때문에 지구중력장 모델만을 고려하여 간략하게 설계하였다. 둘째, 실제의 인공위성의 궤도는 계획된 기준궤도를 유지해야 하지만 시간에 따라 섭동력의 영향을 받아 계획된 궤도로부터 벗어나게 된다. 기준궤도로부터 실제궤도가 얼마나 벗어나는지에 대한 정량적 분석을 위해 지구 중력장, 달-태양 중력, 대기저항력, 태양복사압, 조석력 등과 같은 다양한 섭동력의 영향에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 셋째, 반경방향(radial), 진행방향(along-track), 교차방향(cross-track)의 세 방향의 성분으로 구성된 우주공간오차(Space Error) 개념을 적용하여, 투영된 지상궤적에 상응하는 오차를 계산하는 것 보다 안정적으로 오차를 계산하였다. 또한 운용요구사항에 따라 허용된 범위 내에서 궤도를 유지하기 위해 GVE(Gauss Variation Equation)을 이용한 궤도조정을 수행하였다. 섭동력의 분석 결과로부터 지구대기저항력, 달-태양 중력으로 인해 가장 두드러지는 장반경과 궤도이심률의 변화를 조정하기 위해, 임무에 사용되는 추력기의 연료 효율을 고려하여 동결궤도가 유지될 수 있는 최적의 위도이각에서 In-plane에 대한 궤도조정만을 수행하여 장반경과 이심률을 동시에 조정하였다. 지구대기와 태양활동의 영향으로 시간에 따른 장반경의 변화율에 따라 궤도조정 주기를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었고, 이 변화율 때문에 생기는 우주공간오차의 증가를 보정하여 위성의 지상궤적을 목표범위 안에서 유지할 수 있었다.
