We have five soil series of pan soils in South Korea out of 391 series: Gangreung, Bugog, Yeongog, Jangweon, and Pogog. Productivity decreases in pan soils as pan horizons impede percolation and capillary rise of water and interrupt root extension. This study was performed to investigate pedogenic processes of pan soils mainly located in footslope and river terrace by analyzing physicochemical properties and soil micro-morphology. Korean pan soils belong to Alfisols, Ultisols, or Inceptisols and have udic or aquic soil moisture regime, mesic temperature regime, and mixed mineral substances. Texture of pan horizons selected for the present study was mainly silty clay loam with clay contents ranging from 26.3 to 45.3%. Bulk density of the pan horizons ranged from 1.4 to $2.1Mg\;m^{-3}$ and their soil structure were subangular or angular structure. In terms of micro-morphological structure, Bt horizon of Gangreung series was formed as platy and striated b-fabric structure possibly affected by uplift of coastal terrace following clay sedimentation by flood. Jangweon series showed micro-morphology of massive structure and crystallic b-fabric as macropores between coarse debris established by debris fall in slope were filled with silt-sized particles. The Bt horizons having massive structure and striated b-fabric in Yeongog, Pogog, and Bugog series implies that those horizons experienced horizontal mass flow after clay accumulation.

기후변화의 영향으로 발생 가능한 자연재난들에 대응하기 위해 많은 연구들이 활발히 수행중이다. 하지만, 대부분의 기후변화 연구들은 강수량의 증가와 해수면의 상승을 구분하여 재난의 영향을 평가하는데 그쳤고 기후변화로 인해 발생한 요소들의 복합적인 고려와 이로 인한 홍수 피해액 산정 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서쪽 산지에서 발원하여 울산 시가지를 관통하고 동해로 유입되는 태화강을 대상유역으로 선정하였고 기후변화로 인한 해수면 상승이 연안 지역과 인접하천에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 기후변화 따른 미래 강수량과 함께 해수면 상승의 복합적인 고려를 통해 기후변화의 영향이 연안지역의 수문량 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기후변화에 따른 해수면 상승이 연안지역에 얼마나 영향을 미치는지 확인하기 위해 강수의 증가량과 해수면의 상승량에 따른 홍수범람도를 작성 비교하였고 이를 정량적으로 비교하기 위해 홍수 피해액을 산정하였다. 해수면 상승으로 인한 하천의 기점수위가 높아짐에 따라, 전체적인 홍수위가 상승하는 것으로 나타났으며, 홍수위 상승은 하구에 가까울수록 상승폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 해수면 상승에 따른 침수심 및 피해지역의 변화는 홍수 피해액에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 연안지역에 위치한 하천에서는 기후변화에 따른 강수량의 증가뿐만 아니라 해수면 상승량의 변화도 계획홍수위, 홍수범람 및 홍수 피해액에 분석에 있어 중요한 요소이며, 본 연구의 결과는 향후 연안 지역의 취약성 평가 기술과 풍수해 자연재난 위험의 대응방안 마련 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

연안지역의 침수예상도 작성은 풍수해저감종합계획 수립 시 진행되었으며. 풍수해저감종합계획을 통해 상습적으로 침수가 발생하는 구역에 대한 조사 결과 및 침수피해 이력 등을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 침수 발생 원인을 하천, 강 등의 범람에 의한 외수침수, 유역 내 관로의 문제에 의해 발생하는 내수침수, 조위 상승, 해수의 역류 등에 의한 해수침수로 구분하였다. 대상 지역인 여수시 여수시청 인근 지역은 남해와 인접하고 있어 조위에 의한 영향을 받기 때문에, 유역 내 관로와 함께 해수 내수 복합원인에 의한 침수피해가 발생한다. 침수가 발생했을 때의 피해 발생 범위를 가시적으로 나타내기 위해 침수예상도를 작성하며, 이는 XP-SWMM을 통해 작성할 수 있다. XP-SWMM에 입력하는 자료는 강우재현기간에 따른 조위(해일고), 강우지속기간에 따른 강우분포 자료 등을 입력한다. 강우자료는 실강우 자료를 사용하는 경우 많은 시나리오를 반영하는데 한계가 있기 때문에 Huff 3분위 분포시킨 자료를 사용하였다. 또한, 침수가 발생하는 지역의 강우지속시간 및 강우량에 의한 침수위를 산정하여 재해상황 대응 기준표를 작성하였다. 본 연구에서는 강우재현기간 100년에 따른 재해상황 대응 기준표 작성과 강우재현기간 10년-강우지속기간 60분-50mm, 110mm을 기준으로 침수예상도를 작성하였다. 본 연구를 통해 여수시청 인근(학동지구 및 도원지구)에 대한 침수예상도를 얻어낼 수 있으며, 침수예상도를 응용한 기대효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 침수예상도를 통해 침수 발생 범위를 예측하여 이를 고려한 침수 시 대피경로 작성, 침수 피해를 저감하기 위한 구조적 대책 수립 방안마련 등에 응용이 가능하며, 여수지역을 제외한 연안도시 지역에도 적용하여 연안도시 침수특성분석 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 침수모의 조건을 한정하여 1개의 시나리오만을 고려했지만, 강우재현기간 및 강우지속시간 등을 보정하여 다양한 시나리오에 대한 분석이 가능하므로, 연안도시 재해 발생 시 대응 및 기준표 작성에 실질적인 기여가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the hazard risk by examining the magnitude and severity of each type of hazard in order to mitigate and prepare for disasters in medical facilities. Methods: The hazard risk analysis for hazard types was surveyed for team leaders of medical facilities. The questionnaire analyzed data from 27 facilities, which were returned from 41 Local Medical Centers. Results: When looking at the 'Risk' by category type of hazard, the influence of health safety and fire/energy safety comes first, followed by natural disaster, facility safety, and crime safety. On the other hand, as for 'Magnitude', facility safety and crime safety come first, followed by health safety, fire/energy safety, and natural disasters. Most of the top types of disaster judged to have high hazard in medical facilities are health types. The top five priorities of hazard in medical facilities, they are affected by the geographical and industrial conditions of the treatment area. In the case of cities, the hazard was found to be high in the order of infectious disease, patient surge, and wind and flood damage. On the other hand, in rural areas, livestock diseases and infectious diseases showed the highest hazard. In the case of forest areas, the hazard was high in the order of wildfire, fire accident, lightning, tide, earthquake, and landslide, whereas in coastal areas of industrial complexes, the hazard was high due to fire, landslide, water pollution, marine pollution, and chemical spill accident. Implications: Through the research, standards will be established for the design of hospitals with disaster preparedness, and will contribute to the preparation of preemptive measures in terms of maintenance.

Ocean salinity affects ocean circulation on a global scale and low salinity water around coastal areas often has an impact on aquaculture and fisheries. Microwave satellite sensors (e.g., Soil Moisture Active Passive [SMAP]) have provided sea surface salinity (SSS) based on the dielectric characteristics of water associated with SSS and sea surface temperature (SST). In this study, a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM)-based model for generating high resolution SSS from Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) data was proposed, having machine learning-based improved SMAP SSS by Jang et al. (2022) as reference data (SMAP SSS (Jang)). Three schemes with different input variables were tested, and scheme 3 with all variables including Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution SST yielded the best performance (coefficient of determination = 0.60, root mean square error = 0.91 psu). The proposed LGBM-based GOCI SSS had a similar spatiotemporal pattern with SMAP SSS (Jang), with much higher spatial resolution even in coastal areas, where SMAP SSS (Jang) was not available. In addition, when tested for the great flood occurred in Southern China in August 2020, GOCI SSS well simulated the spatial and temporal change of Changjiang Diluted Water. This research provided a potential that optical satellite data can be used to generate high resolution SSS associated with the improved microwave-based SSS especially in coastal areas.

Numerous deaths and substantial property damage have occurred recently due to frequent disasters of the highest intensity according to the abnormal climate, which is caused by various problems, such as global warming, all over the world. Such large-scale disasters have become an international issue and have made people aware of the disasters so they can implement disaster-prevention measures. Extensive information on disaster prevention actively has been announced publicly to support the natural disaster reduction measures throughout the world. In Japan, diverse developmental studies on disaster prevention systems, which support hazard map development and flood control activity, have been conducted vigorously to estimate external forces according to design frequencies as well as expected maximum frequencies from a variety of areas, such as rivers, coasts, and ports based on broad disaster prevention data obtained from several huge disasters. However, the current reduction measures alone are not sufficiently effective due to the change of the paradigms of the current disasters. Therefore, in order to obtain the synergy effect of reduction measures, a study of the establishment of an integrated system is required to improve the various disaster prevention technologies and the current disaster prevention system. In order to develop a similar typhoon search system and establish a disaster prevention infrastructure, in this study, techniques will be developed that can be used to forecast typhoons before they strike by using artificial intelligence (AI) technology and offer primary disaster prevention information according to the direction of the typhoon. The main function of this model is to predict the most similar typhoon among the existing typhoons by utilizing the major typhoon information, such as course, central pressure, and speed, before the typhoon directly impacts South Korea. This model is equipped with a combination of AI and DNN forecasts of typhoons that change from moment to moment in order to efficiently forecast a current typhoon based on similar typhoons in the past. Thus, the result of a similar typhoon search showed that the quality of prediction was higher with the grid size of one degree rather than two degrees in latitude and longitude.

Foods constitute a large portion of heavy metal exposure toward general population and attract a deep concern with respect to assuring human health. This study summarized published data in Korea on the content, and dietary intake of heavy metals and assessed their risk potential in comparison with foreign data. An analysis for the yearly fluctuation of metal contents including arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead by flood group (marine fishes, coastal shellfishes, freshwater fishes, cereal grains) exhibited a decreasing trend from the 1970s to the 1990s. When compared with domestic standards of heavy metals, their mean contents were below the limit and their maximum values seldom exceeded the limit. The data on the dietary intake of heavy metals by Koreans showed a decreasing trend from the 1980s to the 1990s. The average intakes offs and Hg were 6∼8% and those of Cd and Pb were 50∼80% of PTWI(provisional tolerable weekly intake), all of which were below the tolerance. As the extreme intakes of these metals may exceed the PTWI, a careful assessment for them may be necessary. Dietary intakes of Cd, Hg and Pb by Koreans lie in the mid-level among countries cited in the GEMS/Food monitoring data. As fishery foods are suspecious of contamination with Hg, Cd and As, and floods in general are with Pb, it is necessary to establish legal limits for these metals and monitor any progress of their contamination. Furthermore, overall assessment of exposure to heavy metals from all sources including floods, air, drinking water and occupation should be made in order to confirm the dietary risk factors and to assure the safety of food resources.

Oceanographic conditions of the coastal water around Chungmu, one of the most important oyster farming areas in Korea, were studied from May to November in 1974 to find out the environmental influence to oyster farming. Six localities, Goseong Bay, Jaran Bay, off Saryangdo, Hansilpo, Tong-yeong Bay and Juklimpo were selected for monthly oceanographic observation and biological sampling. Flood current running westward brings saline water from the south-east and ebb current brings the low salinity water of Jinju Bay into this area. The waters in Juklimpo, Hansilpo and Tong-yeong Bay are slightly cooler and more saline than the waters in Goseong Bay, Jaran Bay and off Saryangdo. The amount of dissolved oxygen is lowest in September and Hansilpo has the least oxygen during summer. Silicate content is lower in waters of Tong-yeong Bay, Juklimpo and off Saryangdo than those of Goseong Bay, Hansilpo and Jaran Bay. Suspended matter in this area ranges from 7.4 to 16.6 mg/l and scarce in Jaran Bay, Juklimpo and off Saryangdo. Chlorophyll a shows large seasonal variation and local fluctuation. Composition of phyto-plankton reveals the difference between the waters of Goseong Bay, Jaran Bay and off Saryangdo and the waters of Hansilpo, Tong-yeong Bay and Juklimpo. The growth of oyster was good in Juklimpo, Tong-yeong Bay and Goseong Bay and worst in Hansilpo. The highest mortality was observed $82\%$ in the waters off Saryangdo.

Application of the EST approach for the simulation of the risk-based typhoon hazard potential is described in this paper. For six selected cities In the Korean peninsula, EST simulations for one hundred years were performed one hundred times using historical typhoon data as a training data set. The analytical results of EST simulations were then post-processed to estimate the means, standard deviations, and ranges of variation for the maximum wind velocities and the daily rainfalls. From the comparison of the averages of the wind velocities for the 100 year recurrence interval typhoons, the wind hazard potential of them was revealed to be highest for Mokpo among the six cities, followed by Busan, Cheju, Inchun, Taegu, and Seoul in descending order For the flood hazard potential associated with a typhoon, Busan was ranked to be the highest hazard potential area, followed by Mokpo, Cheju, Seoul, Inckun, and Taegu. In terms of the overall typhoon hazard potential, cities in the southern coastal regions were identified as being exposed to the most severe typhoon hazard.
