  • In seismic reflection data processing, the crossdip correction effectively focuses the stacking energy near the sharp bends of a crooked survey line. Additionally, approximate 3-D information on the reflector (e.g., true crossdip angle and lateral continuity) are locally investigated as a by-product of the crossdip correction procedure. Improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio and estimation of reflector crossdip attitude are tested, in terms of both common midpoint bin direction and processing-line type, using synthetic seismic reflection data. To effectively image the reflection energy near bends in seismic survey lines, straight-line binning is preferred to slalom-line binning.

  • This study is made for examining the characteristics of the lead-zinc deposition from the mineralogy of pyrrhotite at the Yeonhwa 1 Mine, Korea. The pyrrhotite of the Yeonhwa 1 mine is divided two species; the pynhotites I and II. The pyrrhotite I that represents the product in Stage II mineralization is characterized by hexagonal pyrrhotite occurring as the mechanical mixtures of hexagonal and monoclinic phases with various proportion. These mixtures might be formed from 'primary' hexagonal pyrrhotite by the subsequent retrograde reaction and/or by the influence of later mineralization in Stage III. Whereas the pyrrhotite II crystallized out in later Mineralization Stage III (hydrothermal stage) is always monoclinic variant with ferromagnetic properties; no two phase mixtures have been recognized.

  • The coastal provinces of South China have been uniquely shaped by various tectonic events. During the midlate Mesozoic tectono-thermal event, the oblique subduction of the Paleo Kula-Pacific plate beneath the Eurasian plate has created a complicated tectonic setting for the whole region. However, the mechanism of this event is not completely understood. In this paper, we discuss the advantages of using LANDSAT TM satellite imagery over a small part of the region - the Mirs Bay Basin which is largely covered by dense vegetation and where limited outcrops is seen. The use of satellite imagery complements field mapping and the result shows a prominent sinistral offset along the eastern margin of the Mirs Bay Basin, which was not previously recognized on the ground.

  • Analysis method using remote sensing data is one of the effective ways to research a spatial and temporal variability of the mesoscale oceanic motions. During past several decades, many researchers have been getting comprehensive results using remote sensing data with application of data fusion methods in many parts of geo-science. For this study, we took the integration and fusion of several remote sensing data, which are different data resolution, timescale and characteristics, for improving accurate analysis of variation of the Kuroshio Extension. Furthermore, we might get advanced ways to understand the variability of the Kuroshio Extension, has close relation to the spatial and temporal variation of the Kuroshio and Oyashio Current.

  • 본 논문에서는 연안에 서식하는 잘피(Zostera Marina)의 시공간적 분포와 생산성을 파악하기 위해 음향실험을 통한 분석을 시도하였다. 해저면이 니질로 구성된 잘피 서식지에 수평입사각 및 방위각에 따라 120 kHz 및 50 kHz 음원을 이용하여 송${\cdot}$수신 하였다. 수평입사각 및 방위각에 대한 수신 신호의 산란강도를 표현하였으며 그 분포양상이 실제분포와 유사한 경향을 보인다. 각 음원의 주${\cdot}$야간별 신호에서는 산란강도의 차이가 관측되었다. 이를 통해 잘피의 광합성에 의한 공기방울의 음파산란 영향에 대한 가능성을 확인하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 해양의 기초 생산자인 잘피 (Zostera marina)의 후방산란 특성을 일주기 동안 관측 하였다. 해상 실험은 2004년 2월 $25\~29$일 기간 중 남해 동대만에서 실시 하였다. 그랩(Grab)을 이용하여 해초지의 입도를 분석 하였으며 주파수별 산란 특성을 고려하기 위해서 17, 30, 50, 80, 100, 그리고 120kHz 음원을 해초지에 수직 지향하여 주, 야간 잘피의 후방 산란을 측정하였다. 실험 환경 분석을 위해 파고와 조석 및 잘피의 생체량(biomass)측정을 실시 하였다. 광합성 시 해초지에서 발생되는 산소 공기는 해수에 의해 용존 되거나 산소 가스 형태로 존재하게 된다. 이들 공기 방울에 의해서 형성되는 공기 방울 층은 음 세기의 감쇠를 야기 시킨다. 실험 결과 주, 야간 동안 음의 산란 강도 변화를 확인 하였다.

  • Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is useful instrument for determining abundance of rare earth elements, due to very low detection limits and rapid data acquisition. In this article, two methods are used for decomposition of alkaline rocks; close vessel acid digestion and $Na_2Co_3$ fusion. The two analytical results show good agreements. Considering total dissolved solids and detection limits, the most adequate dilution factor is 5,000 times. Polyatomic ion interferences during analysis can give rise to Inaccuracies. After correction from oxide and hydroxide interference, the analytical result show 20-30% decrease for Gd and Tm, 10-20% decrease for Tb and Er. In comparing the analytical results from KORDI with other institutes, most rare earth elements abundance show good agreements except Lu.

  • We developed a CCD camera that can observe wide fields on the sky. We tested the field of views using various lenses. For cooling the CCD chip, we used a thermoelectric cooling device and tested the cooling efficiency. This camera will continuously observe a part of the sky. The data from the camera will be used to decide the current weather condition by the real-time star counting program (SCount) which will be developed later.
