국내 지진관측소로부터 분석된 지진기록에는 자연지진 이외의 상당수의 인공발파를 포함하는 것으로 해석된다. 자연지진에 대한 지진특성연구, 지질학적 지진의 진원지연구 등을 위 해서는 지진목록에서 인공발파를 식별할 필요가 있다. 한국자원연구소는 인공발파 식별을 위한 연구의 일환으로 지진-공중음파 관측망을 운영 중에 있다. 지진-공중음파 자료분석으로 구분된 인공발파 기록의 대부분이 발파를 실시하는 산업현장과 일치하고 있음이 확인되었다. 발파장의 위치, 발파시간, 규모 및 발파방법 등의 정보는 공중음파를 이용한 인공발파 식별에 관한 정량적 연구와 자연지진에 관한 연구 등에 기본적인 정보(Ground Truth Database)를 제공하리라 판단되므로 국내에서 실시되는 인공발파에 대한 정보가 요구된다.

Discrimination between natural earthquakes and man-made explosions is very essential but critical matter in Seismology. In the CTBT Monitoring business, this is very crucial issue and sometimes could occur the international conflict. In this study, we analyzed seismic and infrasound data from Chulwon Seismo-Acoustic Array and would like to introduce routine data processing procedures at the Korea Institute of Geology, Mining and Materials(KIGAM) to discriminate the earthquakes and artificial explosions. We found analyzing acoustic data together with seismic data is very effective way to identify and discriminate man made explosion from natural earthquake. Recent earthquakes in and around the Korean Peninsula are concentrated in a narrow zone with N60-70$^{\circ}$W in southern Korea, and Pyungan and Hwanghae Province in northern Korea. The mechanism of 14 larger earthquakes in and around the Korean Peninsula since 1936 show predominant strike-slip faulting together with minor thrust component. This indicates horizontal compression is dominant in and around the Korean Peninsula.

Artificial blasts, defined as seismo-acoustic events, were discriminated from natural earthquakes in the Korean Peninsula by analyzing seismo-acoustic data. 219 seismo-acoustic events corresponding to 9 percent of total seismic events in 2001 were analyzed and classified as artificial surface blasts. Most seismo-acoustic events were concentrated in several areas. This distribution pattern was similar to the previous result in 1999-2000. Most of seismo-acoustic events especially concentrated at 7 small areas in North and South Korea. The number of seismo-acoustic events occurred in North and South Korea was 79 and 140 events, respectively. The local magnitude of seismic events from North Korea was relatively larger than from South. And some infrasound occurred from North Korea had a characteristic of sequential arrivals of signals, which reflected the different propagation in the atmosphere.

Korea Earthquake Monitoring System(KEMS) in the Korea Institute of Geology Mining and Materials(KIGAM) as detected more than 1000 events since the end of 1998. But not all events are interpreted as earthquakes because many events are concentrated on daytime. It strongly implies that in addition to earthquake these events include artificial effects such as industrial blasting. Before the determination of eathquake charactertistics in the korean peninsula it is necessary to discriminate the detected events as earthquakes or artificial events. For the discriminant study KIGAM and SMU(Southern Methodist University) installed a triangular four-element 1-km aperture seismo-acoustic array at Chul-Won area northeast of Seoul Korea. Each array element includes a GS-13 seismometer in the bottom of borehole and a Validyne DP250-14 microbarometer sensor mounted inside of the borehole 1,2 meter deep connected to a 11 arm radial array of 10m porous soaker hoses. This array introduce the use of 2.4-GHz radios for inter-array self-contained solar-charged power system and GPS time-keeping system. A 24-bit digital data acquisition system performs 40 SPS in the infrasound and seismometer data. Velocity and direction of wind and temperature are also measured at hub site and included to the data stresam. This seismo-acoustic array will be used to identify and locate associated with industrial blasting and these identified and located events will be applied to form a ground truth database useful to assist the other development of discriminant studies.
