자연 하천에서의 부유사 농도 계측은 주로 재래식 채집방식을 활용한 직접계측 방식에 의존하여 비용과 시간이 많이 소요되며 점 계측 방식으로 고해상도의 시공간 자료를 측정하기엔 한계가 존재한다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해 최근 위성영상과 드론을 활용하여 촬영된 다분광 혹은 초분광 영상을 통해 고해상도의 부유사 농도 시공간분포를 측정하는 기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 다른 하천 물리량 계측에 비해 부유사 계측 연구는 하천에 따라 부유사가 비균질적으로 분포하여 원격탐사를 통해 정확하고 전역적인 농도 분포를 재현하기는 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 부유사의 비균질성은 부유사의 입도분포, 광물특성, 침강성 등이 하천에서 다양하게 분포하기 때문이며 이로 인해 부유사는 지역별로 다양한 분광특성을 가지게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 영향을 고려한 전역적인 부유사 농도 예측 모형을 개발하기 위해 실내 실험을 통해 부유사 특성별 고유 분광 라이브러리를 구축하고 실규모 수로에서 다양한 부유사 조건에 대한 초분광 스펙트럼과 부유사 농도를 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실제 부유사 농도는 광학 기반 센서인 LISST-200X와 샘플링을 통한 실험실 분석을 통해 계측되었으며, 초분광 스펙트럼 자료는 초분광 카메라를 통해 촬영한 영상에서 부유사 계측 지점에 대한 픽셀의 스펙트럼을 추출하여 구축하였다. 이렇게 생성된 자료들의 분광 다양성을 주성분 분석(Principle Component Analysis; PCA)를 통해 분석하였으며, 부유사의 입도 분포, 부유사 종류, 수온 등과의 상관관계를 통해 분광 특성과 가장 상관관계가 높은 물리적 인자를 규명하였다. 더불어 구축된 자료를 바탕으로 기계학습 기반 주요 특징 선택 알고리즘인 재귀적 특징 제거법 (Recursive Feature Elimination)과 기계학습기반 회귀 모형인 Support Vector Regression을 결합하여 초분광 영상 기반 부유사 농도 예측 모형을 개발하였으며, 이 결과를 원격탐사 계측 연구에서 일반적으로 사용되어 오던 최적 밴드비 분석 (Optimal Band Ratio Analysis; OBRA) 방법으로 도출된 회귀식과 비교하였다. 그 결과, 기존의 OBRA 기반 방법은 비선형성을 증가시켜도 좁은 영역의 파장대만을 고려하는 한계점으로 인해 부유사의 다양한 분광 특성을 반영하지 못하였으며, 본 연구에서 제시한 기계학습 기반 예측 모형은 420 nm~1000 nm에 걸쳐 폭 넓은 파장대를 고려함과 동시에 높은 정확도를 산출하였다. 최종적으로 개발된 모형을 적용해 다양한 유사 조건에 대한 부유사 시공간 분포를 매핑한 결과, 시공간적으로 고해상도의 부유사 농도 분포를 산출하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The occurrence, distribution, and hydrogeochemical characteristics of uranium and radon in groundwater within different lithologies in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk provinces were investigated. A total of 201 groundwater samples from sedimentary rocks taking a large portion of the geology and from igneous rocks taking a small portion of the geology were analyzed and examined using factor analysis. Their radionuclide levels were used to construct detailed concentration maps. The groundwater types, defined using a Piper diagram, are mainly Ca-$HCO_3$ with less Na-$HCO_3$. Among the samples, one site exceeds $30{\mu}g/L$ of uranium (i.e., the maximum contaminant level of the USEPA) and three sites exceed 4,000 pCi/L of radon (i.e., the alternative maximum contaminant level). No samples were found to exceed the 15 pCi/L level of gross alpha or the 5 pCi/L level of radium. The concentration of uranium ranges from 0.02 to $53.7{\mu}g/L$, with a mean of $1.56{\mu}g/L$, a median of $0.47{\mu}g/L$, and a standard deviation of $4.3{\mu}g/L$. The mean concentrations of uranium for the different geological units increase in the following order: Shindong Group, Granites, Hayang Group, Yucheon Group, and Tertiary sedimentary rocks. The concentration of radon ranges from 2 to 8,740 pCi/L, with an mean of 754 pCi/L, a median of 510 pCi/L, and a standard deviation of 907 pCi/L. The mean radon concentrations for the investigated geological units increase in the following order: Granites, Yucheon Group, Tertiary sedimentary rocks, Hayang Group and Shindong Group. According to the factor analysis for each geological unit, uranium and radon behave independently of each other with no specific correlation. However, radionuclides show close relationships with some components. Regional investigations of radionuclides throughout the country require an integrated approach that considers the main lithological units as well as administrative districts.

Existing algal bloom monitoring is based on field sampling, and there is a limit to understanding the spatial distribution of algal blooms, such as the occurrence and spread of algae, due to local investigations. In this study, algal bloom monitoring was performed using an unmanned aerial vehicle and multispectral sensor, and data on the distribution of algae were provided. For the algal bloom monitoring site, data were acquired from the Mulgeum·Mae-ri site located in the lower part of the Nakdong River, which is the areas with frequent algal bloom. The Chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) value of field-collected samples and the Chl-a estimation formula derived from the correlation between the spectral indices were comparatively analyzed. As a result, among the spectral indices, Maximum Chlorophyll Index (MCI) showed the highest statistical significance(R²=0.91, RMSE=8.1mg/m³). As a result of mapping the distribution of algae by applying MCI to the image of August 05, 2021 with the highest Chl-a concentration, the river area was 1.7km², the Warning area among the indicators of the algal bloom warning system was 1.03km²(60.56%) and the Algal Bloom area occupied 0.67km²(39.43%). In addition, as a result of calculating the number of occurrence days in the area corresponding to the "Warning" in the images during the study period (July 01, 2021~November 01, 2021), the Chl-a concentration above the "Warning" level was observed in the entire river section from 12 to 19 times. The algal bloom monitoring method proposed in this study can supplement the limitations of the existing algal bloom warning system and can be used to provide information on a point-by-point basis as well as information on a spatial range of the algal bloom warning area.

Along with climate change, it is reported that the scale and frequency of extreme climate events show unstable tendency of increase. Thus, to comprehend the change characteristics of precipitation data, it is needed to consider non-stationary. The main objectives of this study were to estimate future design floods for Wonpyeongcheon watershed based on RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) scenario. Wonpyeongcheon located in the Keum River watershed was selected as the study area. Historical precipitation data of the past 35 years (1976~2010) were collected from the Jeonju meteorological station. Future precipitation data based on RCP4.5 were also obtained for the period of 2011~2100. Systematic bias between observed and simulated data were corrected using the quantile mapping (QM) method. The parameters for the bias-correction were estimated by non-parametric method. A non-stationary frequency analysis was conducted with moving average method which derives change characteristics of generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution parameters. Design floods for different durations and frequencies were estimated using rational formula. As the result, the GEV parameters (location and scale) showed an upward tendency indicating the increase of quantity and fluctuation of an extreme precipitation in the future. The probable rainfall and design flood based on non-stationarity showed higher values than those of stationarity assumption by 1.2%~54.9% and 3.6%~54.9%, respectively, thus empathizing the necessity of non-stationary frequency analysis. The study findings are expected to be used as a basis to analyze the impacts of climate change and to reconsider the future design criteria of Wonpyeongcheon watershed.

Traffic represents one of the largest sources of primary air pollutants in urban area. As a consequence. numerous abatement strategies are being pursued to decrease the ambient concentration of pollutants. A characteristic of most of the these strategies is a requirement for accurate data on both the quantity and spatial distribution of emissions to air in the form of an atmospheric emission inventory database. In the case of traffic pollution, such an inventory must be compiled using activity statistics and emission factors for vehicle types. The majority of inventories are compiled using passive data from either surveys or transportation models and by their very nature tend to be out-of-date by the time they are compiled. The study of current trends are towards integrating urban traffic control systems and assessments of the environmental effects of motor vehicles. In this study, a methodology of motor vehicle emission calculation by using real-time traffic data was studied. A methodology for estimating emissions of CO at a test area in Seoul. Traffic data, which are required on a street-by-street basis, is obtained from induction loops of traffic control system. It was calculated speed-related mass of CO emission from traffic tail pipe of data from traffic system, and parameters are considered, volume, composition, average velocity, link length. And, the result was compared with that of a method of emission calculation by VKT(Vehicle Kilometer Travelled) of vehicles of category.
