After introducing the industry 4.0 policy, Korean government announced 'Digital New Deal' and 'Green New Deal' as 'Korean New Deal' in 2020. We analyzed Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM)'s research projects related to that policy and conducted markets analysis focused on Digital Twin and environmental monitoring technologies. Regarding 'Data Dam' policy, we suggested the digital geo-contents with Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) and the public geo-data collection & sharing system. It is necessary to expand and support the smart mining and digital oil fields research for '5th generation mobile communication (5G) and artificial intelligence (AI) convergence into all industries' policy. Korean government is suggesting downtown 3D maps for 'Digital Twin' policy. KIGAM can provide 3D geological maps and Internet of Things (IoT) systems for social overhead capital (SOC) management. 'Green New Deal' proposed developing technologies for green industries including resource circulation, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), and electric & hydrogen vehicles. KIGAM has carried out related research projects and currently conducts research on domestic energy storage minerals. Oil and gas industries are presented as representative applications of digital twin. Many progress is made in mining automation and digital mapping and Digital Twin Earth (DTE) is a emerging research subject. The emerging research subjects are deeply related to data analysis, simulation, AI, and the IoT, therefore KIGAM should collaborate with sensors and computing software & system companies.

최근에 연구비의 지원과 연구자의 평가, 기관 평가 등에 활용되는 국내의 연구업적 평가제도가 상당한 변화를 겪고 있다. 하지만 지질과학 대부분 분야의 경우에는 근본적으로 이러한 변화에 적응하기가 매우 어려운 여러 가지 문제를 갖고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 다른 분야의 학자들 못지 않게 노력해서 얻은 성과에 대해서는 정당한 평가와 대우를 받아야 한다고 생각하며 어떻게 하면 이러한 결과를 얻을 수 있을지에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 지질과학분야의 기본적인 자료들을 사장시키지 않고 발표함으로써 많은 연구자들에게 개방할 수 있도록 노력하는 것은 보다 활성화된 논의를 이끌어 낼 수 있는 하나의 방법이라고 생각된다. 또한 다음과 같은 형태의 연구결과들도 정당한 논문으로써 발표되어야 한다고 생각한다： 기존의 지질도를 수정하거나 보완하는 야외조사 자료, 야외나 실내에서의 기재적 연구결과, 새로운 해석을 제시하는 창의적 아이디어 등이다. 이러한 결과들이 학술지를 통해 발표됨으로써 이러한 기본자료를 생산하려는 중복된 노력을 절약 할 수도 있으며, 연구자들의 전체적인 역할 분담이 가속화되고 더욱 빠른 기간 내에 보다 진전된 연구성과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) introduced its new Mission Oriented Evaluation System (MOES) for government affiliated research institutes and Government Supported Research Institutes (GSRI) on science and technology in 2013. The Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) is the first MOES applied Science and Technology (S&T) GSRI, that has research divisions focusing on geoscience and geological surveys, mineral resources extraction and utilization, petroleum extraction and marine mineral research, and geological applied and environment research. In appling the final evaluation of MOES on KIGAM, we found difficulty classifing the concepts of research excellence and risk (innovativeness) in guidelines of Research Evaluation Indicators (REIs) of MSIP. We have developed quantitative and qualitative indicators that can present research excellence and risk (innovativeness) through the KIGAM World Class Laboratory (WCL) strategy and related studies, innovative research and development guidelines of MSIP (2013a) and honorable R&D failure guidelines of MSIP (2013b). We have applied our developed REIs in KIGAM which handles basic research, applied and development research and public services. Therefore, our developed REIs can be effectively applied in every S&T GSRI.

In this study, we analyzed changes in policies after the Korean New Deal Policy in 2020, metaverse and 6th generation communication technology. In the research and development of geoscience and mineral resources, we emphasized on the connection between smart cities and digital twins by focusing on the linkage of the real world and geo-information. Further, we examined trends in developing digital twins after the Korean New Deal Policy in 2020 that focused on three-dimensional visualization technology, the first stage in implementing digital twins, and real-time monitoring technology of underground information, the second implementing stage. As results of this study, we emphasized on the efforts to provide accurate underground information based on geology, groundwater and geo-environment and to analyze and predict near-real-time levels of available underground information to the industry, local governments and the central governments. Research and development that integrate the fields of geology, environment, and information is required to lead national digital twin policies and smart city policies owing to the acceleration of the digital economy in Korea and globally during the post-Corona era.

With the development of semantic web technologies in information retrieval area, the necessity for thesaurus is recently increasing along with internet lexicons. A thesaurus is the combination of classification and a lexicon, and is the topic map of knowledge structure expressing relations among concepts(terms) subject to human knowledge activities such as learning and research using formally organized and controlled index terms for clarifying the context of superordinate and subordinate concepts. However, although thesaurus are regarded as essential tools for controlling and standardizing terms and searching and processing information efficiently, we do not have a Korean thesaurus for geology. To build a thesaurus, we need standardized and well-defined guidelines. The standardized guidelines enable efficient information management and help information users use correct information easily and conveniently. The present study purposed to build a thesaurus system with terms used in geology. For this, First, we surveyed related works for standardizing geological terms in Korea and other countries. Second, we defined geological topics in 15 areas and prepared a classification system(draft) for each topic. Third, based on the geological thesaurus classification system, we created the specification of geological thesaurus. Lastly, we designed and implemented an internet-based geological thesaurus system using the specification.

The Journal of Engineering Geology (JEG), a leading academic journal in the field of engineering geology in South Korea, was first published in 1991 and has since been publishing academic papers and research findings. While several literature reviews have been undertaken on specific research areas in recent decades, comprehensive reviews focusing on JEG have been relatively limited. To address this gap, this study applied the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model to analyze the main research topics and trends, and undertook network analysis to identify relationships between topics over different periods. Results for the LDA indicate seven key research topics categorized into three trends: Classic, Emerging and Stable topics. Classic topics include 'Geophysics' and 'Structural geology', which were major subjects in the early years, with their focus shifting to other areas over time. Emerging topics such as 'Hydrogeology' and 'Geohazards' have gained prominence in recent years. Stable topics including 'Geotechnical structures', 'Geomechanics', and 'Environmental geology' have maintained consistent research interest. Network analysis revealed that Structural geology was the central topic prior to 2008, while Geotechnical structures became the focal point of research after 2008, with a shift in research focus. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of research trends and the development of JEG, providing insights for the setting of future research directions.

Focused in the characteristic of R&D on Geoscience and Mineral Resources as basic research area, we survey on methods of public works' economic impact analysis including cost-benefit analysis and resent technology evaluation methods and suggest apply-methods to conduct economic impact analysis on R&D of geoscience and mineral resources. To conduct economic impact analysis on the basic research area, it need to identification research's out-come not just output. In this perspective, we propose a method, Input-Output-Outcome Roadmapping to identify the outcome of R&D and show the relation of input, output, and outcome of R&D. Furthermore, noticing the different effects of R&D from public works, we directly evaluate the use-value of the academic theory or geological maps through Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) and others developed as evaluation methods on environmental goods. In indirect application methods, it can evaluate the partial of the pubic works' benefit with assuming R&D factors if R&D is a part of public works. If not, we evaluate the R&D's value as reductions of costs or additions of benefit with finding related public works.
