  • The role of geophysics in Environmental Earth Sciences and Engineering is considered. In the developing era since 60's in Japan, geophysics has mainly contributed to investigation of new constructions such as tunnels, dams and high-rise buildings. In the coming sustainable era, geophysics must be used for maintaining the safe and easy human life. Application examples of geophysics to investigations for disaster prevention, maintenance of existing constructions and soil and groundwater pollutions are presented to demonstrate their role in Environmental Geo-engineering. Future subjects in this field for geophysics and geophysicists are also discussed.

  • The Earth's total magnetic field was calculated from on board TAM(Three-Axis Magnetometer) observations of KOMPSAT-1 satellite between June 19th and 21st, 2000. The TAM's telemetry data were transformed from ECI(Earth-Centered Inertial Frame) to ECEF(Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed Frame) and then to spherical coordination. Self-induced field from the satellite bus were removed by the symmetric nature of the magnetic field. The 2-D wavenumber correlation filtering and quadrant-swapping method were applied to eliminate the dynamic components and track-line noise. To test the validity of the TAM's geomagnetic field, ${\phi}$rsted satellite's magnetic model and IGRF2000 model were used for statistical comparison. The correlation coefficients between KOMPSAT-1/${\phi}$rsted and KOMPSAT-1/IGRF2000 models are 0.97 and 0.96, respectively. The global spherical harmonic coeffi-cient was then calculated from the KOMPSAT-1 data degree and order of up to 19 and compared with those from IGRF2000, $\phi$rsted, and CHAMP models. The KOMPSAT-1 model was found to be stable to degree & order of up to 5 and it can give new information for the low frequency components of the global geomagtic field.

  • To explore the ecophysiological characteristics of the kleptoplastidic dinoflagellate Shimiella gracilenta, we determined its spatiotemporal distribution in Korean coastal waters and growth and ingestion rates as a function of prey concentration. The abundance of S. gracilenta at 28 stations from 2015 to 2018 was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cells of S. gracilenta were detected at least once at all the stations and in each season, when temperature and salinity were 1.7-26.4℃ and 9.9-35.6, respectively. Moreover, among the 28 potential prey species tested, S. gracilenta SGJH1904 fed on diverse prey taxa. However, the highest abundance of S. gracilenta was only 3 cells mL-1 during the study period. The threshold Teleaulax amphioxeia concentration for S. gracilenta growth was 5,618 cells mL-1, which was much higher than the highest abundance of T. amphioxeia (667 cells mL-1). Thus, T. amphioxeia was not likely to support the growth of S. gracilenta in the field during the study period. However, the maximum specific growth and ingestion rates of S. gracilenta on T. amphioxeia, the optimal prey species, were 1.36 d-1 and 0.04 ng C predator-1 d-1, respectively. Thus, if the abundance of T. amphioxeia was much higher than 5,618 cells mL-1, the abundance of S. gracilenta could be much higher than the highest abundance observed in this study. Eurythermal and euryhaline characteristics of S. gracilenta and its ability to feed on diverse prey species and conduct kleptoplastidy are likely to be responsible for its common spatiotemporal distribution.

  • This study was carried out to P University of Education 111 students who participated in science materials study course 1 in spring semester 2011. Students have taken the course pre-service teachers of elementary school classes to target elementary school earth science field, they selected one of the sections to create a class and the students have fulfilled 15-minute classes in respectively from the first week of May 2011 to until end of that course. In this class, colleagues evaluated the classes and we used evaluated scores to determine level of instructional motivation strategy. The obtained results from this study are as follows; First, motivational strategies used by preliminary elementary school teacher were questions, presentation of pictures and photographs, storytelling, presentation of contradictory concepts and phenomena, pilot experiments Second, among preliminary elementary teachers' motivational strategies for teaching in the field of the earth storytelling, presenting contradictory phenomena and concepts, pilot experiment, presentation of contradictory concepts, questions got higher scores in the order. Third, storytelling received the highest scores by the evaluators. So we can consider storytelling as a good strategy for the next class. In particular, storytelling used by animism were more effective. Fourth, preliminary elementary school teachers used life knowledges and dairy experiences as instructional motivation.

  • By investigating the characteristics of various factors about soil and pile containing in the theoretical equations of lateral earth pressures acting on a row of passive piles which have been already presented in the previous. papers, the equations are arranged as a simple form which is convenient to use. The simplified equation is examined so as to be also utilized to single passive pile. And a discussion is carried out on the method how to apply the equations to field. As the result of this study, the equations can be arranged as a simple linear equation with the coefficients of lateral force $K_{p1}$ and $K_{p2}$. And the simple linear equation is composed of cohesion c and earth pressures ${\sigma}_H$ acting on backside of pile's row against the direction of soil deformation. In order to apply this equation to field, the active earth pressure can be considered as the earth pressure ${\sigma}_H$. The validity of this consideration is justified by comparing the theoretical values of lateral earth pressures acting on piles with the values observed in field.

  • By using two methods we obtained plane solutions for 5 groups of earthquakes including 13 events, which occurred in the central region of South Korea after December 1997. The first method is the composite fault plane solution by P wave polarity, and the second the solution by amplitude ratio (SV/P, SH/P, SV/SH) and P and S wave polarities. The two method results show similar results. The strike of fault is in the direction of NNE-SSW and WNW-ESE with the movement of strike-slip or strike-slip including thrust component. The compressional axis of the stress field dominantly trends ENE-WSW or NE-SW. The results are almost consistent with the other main events occurred in and around the Korean Peninsula.

  • Global change and local fluctuation of earth's gravity field play important roles in accurate vertical positioning as well as in accurate horizontal positioning. Regarding the impotance, in this study, the concept of gravity potential theory connected with the influence of gravity field and every kind of height were discussed. Various kind of heights using the observed gravity and leveling data were computed and analysed to study the influence of earth's gravity field in accurate vertical positioning. Taking the route from Busan to Kyongju and investigating the ratios ($\Delta$H/dH) of height defferences (dH) between calculated heights considering gravity field and leveling height to relative heights (dH) between adjacent stations, we get the result that the values by correction formula increase linearly according to latitude, and the values by gravity potential ere strongly influenced by pseudo topography.

  • This paper considers the problem of satellite's orbit control and a solution based in Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) is proposed for the case of Low Earth Orbiters (LEO). In particular, the modelling procedure and the algorithm for control law synthesis are tested using as study case the European Gravity Field and Ocean Circulation Explorer satellite (GOCE), to be launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in the year 2006. The scientific objective of this space mission is the recovering of the Earth gravity field with high accuracy (less than 10${\mu}m$/${\mu}m$) and spatial resolution (better than 100km). In order to meet these scientific requirements, the orbit control must guarantee stringent specifications in terms of environmental disturbances attenuation (atmospheric drag forces) even in presence of high levels of model uncertainty.
