수제군 주변의 유동장 및 지형학적 변화에 대한 수리학적 효과를 분석하기 위하여, 본 연구는 영천강 만곡부에 설치된 저수 수제군 주변의 하도지형 특성의 변화에 대하여 모니터링과 수치모의를 수행하였다. 연구 대상지는 연장 190m로서 2008년 3월에 저수 수제군이 설치되었다. 현장 모니터링을 2008년 5월부터 2014년 4월까지 수행하였다. 설계된 수제 높이 보다 홍수시 수위가 더 높아져도 수제는 하안으로부터 흐름을 하도의 중심으로 밀어낸다. 따라서, 만곡부의 하도 안정을 위하여 설치된 수제군은 어느 정도 효과적으로 수리적 기능을 수행하고 있다. 시간의 경과에 따라 주수로가 하도의 중심으로 이동하면서 안정되었으며, 국소세굴에 의하여 수제 선단부 주변에 소가 형성되었다. 또한, 수제 사이에는 유사가 퇴적되었고, 하도에는 여울-소가 형성됨으로써 부수적으로 수제가 하도의 지형적 측면에서 다양한 물리적 특성을 창출함을 확인하였다.

대형댐 하류의 수용생태계에서는 상류로부터 공급되는 유기물과 토사 이동의 양적 단절과 질적 변환에 따라 서식처의 물리화학적 교란이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구는 금강 중상류역을 대상으로 대형댐에 의한 하상재료와 토양의 종적변화, 그리고 대형댐 건설 이후 하류 하천의 하도지형 변화를 정량적으로 파악하였다. 댐 상·하류 하상재료 입도분석 결과, 용담댐 구간은 상·하류 모두 호박돌, 굵은자갈로 조립화되어 있었으며, 대청댐 구간은 댐하류에서 중간입경이 가는자갈로 급격히 감소하고 모래비율이 급격히 증가하였다. 토양유기물은 두 개의 댐 모두 하류에서 뚜렷하게 증가하였다. 고지도와 항공사진을 이용하여 대청댐 하류의 하도지형을 분석한 결과, 사주면적의 감소와 사주 내 식생비율의 급격한 증가, 사행도와 저수로폭의 감소 경향을 정량적으로 파악할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 댐 건설에 따른 서식처 변화의 인과관계를 파악하여 댐 하류 조절하천의 자연성을 회복하기 위한 복원관리 방안을 도출하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Predicting the potential habitat of plants in arid regions, especially for medicinal ones, is very important. Although Pergularia tomentosa is a key species for medicinal purposes, it appears in very low density in the arid rangelands of Iran, needing an urgent ecological attention. In this study, we modeled and predicted the potential habitat of P. tomentosa using maximum entropy, and the effects of environmental factors (geology, geomorphology, altitude, and soil properties) on some characteristics of the species were determined. Results: The results showed that P. tomentosa was absent in igneous formation while it appeared in conglomerate formation. In addition, among geomorphological units, the best quantitative characteristics of P. tomentosa was belonged to the conglomerate formation-small hill area (plant aerial parts = 57.63 and root length = 30.68 cm) with the highest electrical conductivity, silt, and $CaCO_3$ content. Conversely, the species was not found in the mountainous area with igneous formation. Moreover, plant density, length of roots, and aerial parts of the species were negatively correlated with soil sand, while positive correlation was observed with $CaCO_3$, EC, potassium, and silt content. The maximum entropy was found to be a reliable method (ROC = 0.91) for predicting suitable habitats for P. tomentosa. Conclusion: These results suggest that in evaluating the plant's habitat suitability in arid regions, contrary to the importance of the topography, some environmental variables such as geomorphology and geology can play the main role in rangeland plants' habitat suitability.

Humans have been important driver to reconfigure the terrestrial surface of the Earth by altering its morphology and processes. The effect of human activities on the physical landscape, however, shows substantially uneven geographical patterns. Most of anthrogemorphoogical studies regarding human-induced denudation have focused on areas with a long history of human modifications such as humid landscapes, so the hypothesis is naturally a great human impact on landscapes. The effect of human activities on dryland Earth surfaces are far less commonly studied, although erosion is one of major concerns in arid and semi-arid region regarding land and water quality degradation. The urban metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona, USA provides an opportunity to explore the impact of the Anthropocene. The Phoenix metropolitan area rests on classic desert landforms, such as extensive pediments, alluvial fans and sand sheets. Human activities including cattle crazing, wildfire resulting from introduced grass species by human, and recent urbanization processes have impacted these classic desert landforms and altered geomorphic processes. The purpose of this paper, therefore, rests in examining Anthropocene in the geomorphology of the north-central Sonoran Desert. The objectives of this paper are: i) to understand the impact of the Anthropocene on the geomorphological processes and forms through field observations; ii) to quantify the magnitude of human impacts on landscape using a published two-decade long record of erosion dataset and natural background erosion dataset in submitted manuscript at the sprawling edge of the Phoenix metropolitan region; iii) to examine how geomorphic outcome can affect the sustainability of cities through the estimation of sediment yield under the condition of urban sprawl.

There has been a lot of controversy over the claim that ancient characters were engraved on a stone plane collected near the Samsin Mountain in Hadong-gun, and that it was used as an altar based on the contents on the stone. The importance of the role of geoscience in prehistoric petroglyph research was presented through analysis and comparison with representative domestic petroglyphs. First, by examining the geological formation process of the collected stone objects, it proved that prehistoric actions were not applied. Second, as a result of comparative analysis from the viewpoints of human geography and topography with representative petroglyphs in Korea, it is unreasonable to argue that the stone was made for an altar. Third, it is considered that among the ancient characters under debate, the straight line indicates a cleavage of carbonate minerals, and the curved shape results from the growth of lichens. Finally, we propose that reproducing the lines found on the stone was impossible by using ancient techniques, and that there was no trace of any artificial actions applied to the spots considered to be curved characters. As shown in such research cases, the results of petroglyph research will have high reliability, if research by experts in each field continues after the geoscientific basis is secured. In this respect, the contribution of Earth science to cultural assets and archeology is expected to increase in the future.

해방후 50년간 우리 나라의 자연지리학 연구는 주로 지형학과 기후학에 의해 주도 되어 왔다. 자연지리학이 지니는 종합적인 학문적 성격에도 불구하고 개별 각론들이 독자적 으로 연구되어 왔고 그 연구 대상이나 연구 방법이 워낙 다양하기 때문에, 자연지리학 연구 의 전체적인 방향성이나 패러다임을 찾기가 힘들다. 지난 50년간 우리 나라 자연지리학 연 구중에서 지형학과 기후학을 제외한 나머지 연구를 자연지리학 일반으로 간주하고 이들 연 구를 자연지리학 총론, 토양지리학, 식물지리학, 수문지리학, 인간과 자연 환경이라는 주제로 구분해 정리하였다. 원래 자연지리학이 추구하던 통합적 접근방법이 점차 사라지고 자연지 리학 각론들이 각기 이웃한 지구과학과 밀접한 관계를 맺으면서 발전하여 왔다. 다학문적 해결책만이 유일한 대안이 되어 버린 환경 시대를 맞아, 자연지리학이 자연 환경에 대한 고 유의 통합적 접근 방법으로 재무장하여 환경 문제에 대한 주도적 학문으로 부활되기를 기대 한다.

This paper is concerned with 'reverse difference' of marine sediments at the Camau tongue in the extreme south of Vietnam. We demonstrate the importance of remote sensing in geomorphology and marine geological application, using only visual evaluation and some data-processing techniques. In this paper, about 10,000 km$^2$ of the territorial water in the extreme south of Vietnam is being studied. We show that form and behavior of Mekong and its branch can be determined by visually interpreting remote sensing images and using ERDAS IMAGE 8.5 software. Besides, the 'reverse difference' phenomenon is explained by flows of Mekong river and its branches.

유역 토지이용의 변화와 골재 채취, 댐과 저수지의 건설등과 같은 인위적인 요인들은 하천의 평형 상태를 파괴하고 유사이송 문제 및 하상변화등과 같은 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 본연구의 대상하천인 낙동강 하류에는 낙동강 하구둑 건설로 인해 상류로부터 유입되는 유사가 하구둑 상류에 퇴적되는 문제가 발생하고 있으며 매년 상류 수로의 홍수 통수력을 확보하기 위해 준설 작업이 수행되고 있다. 한편 다른 대상하천인 탄천은 최근 들어 분당 신도시를 중심으로 주변의 수지, 구성, 죽전지구 등 상류유역에 대규모 택지지구가 건설됨에 따라 유역의 지형학적, 수문학적 변화가 많이 발생하고 있으며 이러한 변화는 평형상태인 자연하천에서의 하상변동 및 지형학적 변화에 많은 영향을 끼칠 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 대표적인 두 대상하천에 대해 HEC-6 모형을 이용하여 하상변동과 지형학적 변화를 예측하고 분석하였다.
