  • The change in global climate and Asian monsoon patterns during the mid-Holocene, 6000 years before present (6 ka), is simulated by a climate model at spectral truncations of T170 with 18 vertical layers, corresponding to grid-cell sizes of roughly 75km. The present simulation is forced with the observed monthly data of sea surface temperatures, and the specified concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, while in the mid-Holocene experiment, orbital parameters such as obliquity, precession, and eccentricity are changed to the 6ka conditions. Under such conditions, the precipitation associated with the summer monsoon is enhanced over a wider zonal band from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, while no significant alteration takes Place in winter. The monsoonal wind also increases over the Arabian Sea, showing the enhanced southwesterly wind during summer and northeasterly wind during winter. Overall, the showing of the Asian monsoon is enhanced during the mid-Holocene, especially in summer, which is consistent with the proxy estimates and other previous model simulations.

  • 전 지구적 환경 모니터링을 위한 빙하 시추의 예비 탐사로서 남극 리빙스톤섬에서 GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) 탐사를 실시하였다. 탐사지역은 세종기지가 위치한 킹죠지섬으로부터 남서쪽으로 80 km 위치한 곳으로 해발 340 m의 Mt. Charra 부근에 위치한다. 총 5개의 측선을 탐사했으며 3개의 반사법과 2개의 CMP (Common Midpoint) 방법을 실시하였다. 탐사결과 연구지역에서 빙하층은 전자기파의 속도와 반사단면의 특징으로 3개로 나누었다. 빙하의 두께는 $80{\~}110\;m$에 이르는 것으로 추정되고 층에 따라 빙하 내부에 다량의 물과 화산재를 포함하고 있는 것으로 해석된다.

  • In this paper, polar converting logic of bank-to-turn with skidding is provided for small size UAV. In general, original polar converting logic has problems of singularity, safety and flight data analysis when acceleration commands diverge at the end of terminal guidance. To solve those problems, new methodology of polar converting logic of bank-to-turn with skidding is presented. It can easily solve singularity problem, increase safety and provide intuition of data analysis. Simulation and flight results are presented to verify proposed polar converting logic for bank-to-turn with skidding method.

  • Depth profiles of organic carbon (C), biogenic silica (Si), and inorganic phosphorus (P) in Maxwell bay sediments were determined to investigate paleoclimatic changes during Holocene. Organic C and biogenic Si contents generally show a down-core decrease trend, which appears to be mostly controlled by their vertical fluxes through productivity in the surface waters, but it is uncertain that inorganic P contents are directly influenced by productivity changes with time. Before 4000 yr B.p. marine productivity seemed to be almost zero because ice permanently covered the surface waters of the study area. As the climate started to become relatively warm at 4000 yr B.p., ice was sporadically melted in the surface waters and thereby marine productivity gradually increased until 1500 yr B.p. For the last 1500 year, marine productivity must be high enough to overcome the dilution by high terrigenous sedimentation, thus that period was the warmest during the last 6000 year.

  • Three different ice core samples from Antarctica were analyzed to identify activity concentrations of radioactive isotopes. Tracking migration of radioactive isotopes to Antarctica can provide a key clue to understand global environmental changes caused by radiation exposures because the Antarctic ice cores can preserve unique characteristics of various environmental conditions. We are particularly interested in the $^{137}Cs$ nucleus, because it is closely related to radiation exposure from nuclear power plant accidents and nuclear bomb tests. With its half life of $30.17{\pm}0.03$ years, $^{137}Cs$ can also be used to assess the age of sedimentation occurring after around the year 1945. We selected three ice core samples, called Tarn8, Styx27, and H25, from different time periods; the Tarn8 sample is known to be from earlier than ~ 1000 AD, the Styx27 sample is approximately from the year 1945, and the H25 sample is from the year 2012. Radioactive isotope measurements of the ice core samples were performed using a 100% HPGe detector at Cheongpyeong Underground Radiation Laboratory (CURL). We measured the activity of $^{137}Cs$ in the H25 sample to be $0.98{\pm}0.82mBq/kg$. Although the activity has a large uncertainty mainly due to the limited sample quantity, the $^{137}Cs$ isotopes in the Antarctic ice core were measured for the first time in Korea.

  • Turbulent fluxes of heat, water vapor, and CO2 have been measured since August, 2003 at Dasan Station (78o 55’ N, 11o50’E) in the Arctic. These data can allow us to better understand the interactions between the Polar ecosystems and the atmosphere together with those at King Sejong Station in the Antarctic. Due to the buildings and measurement platforms around the flux tower, it is required to evaluate how they influence measured flux data. By using one-year turbulence statistics data and footprint model, flux footprint climatology was analyzed together with data availability. The upwind distance of source area ranged from 150 to 300 m, where the buildings and measurement platforms existed. However, flow distortion due to them may be not a major factor to reduce the data availability significantly. Based on, the dominant wind direction of SW and footprint climatology, the location of flux tower is considered suitable for flux measurement.

  • 남극 드레이크 해협에서 작은 해양판으로 존재하는 피닉스판의 확장 작용 소멸 시기를 보다 명확하게 이해하고자 해령의 각 구역에서 체계적으로 채취된 현무암편을 대상으로 K-Ar 연대 측정을 실시하였다. 남서쪽 P3 구역 열극 사면 현무암의 K-Ar 연령은 3.5-6.4Ma이고 해령 축부 거대 화산체의 연령은 1.5-3.1Ma이다. 중앙의 P2 구역 열극 사면 현무암의 연령은 2.1 Ma이고, 축부 중앙고지대 현무암의 연령은 1.4-1.9Ma이다. 해령 축으로부터의 거리와 지체구조 특성에 기초한 확장작용 소멸시기는 P3 구역이 3.3Ma, P2 구역이 2.0Ma로 해석된다. 이 결과는 기존의 여러 지구물리 자료가 제시하는 '3.3Ma 동시 소멸설'과는 배치되며 해령의 P3 구역에서 P2 구역을 향해 확장작용이 단계적으로 소멸되었다는 것을 지지한다.

  • TCTP는 다양한 진핵생물에서 풍부하게 존재하는 단백질 중에 하나이며, 암, 세포 증식, 유전자 조절 등과 관련된 세포의 생리학적 기작에서 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 더구나, TCTP는 dithiothreitol (DTT)나 hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)에 의해 유도되는 산화적 스트레스에 대한 저항성에 관여하는 중요한 단백질로 주목 받아 왔다. 한편, 극지역 서식 생물들은 강한 자외선에 의해 발생한 활성산소를 조절하기 위한 다양한 항산화 방어체계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 북극 동물플랑크톤 Calanus glacialis에서 분리된 TCTP가 산화적 스트레스 하에서 E. coli 세포의 저항성에 미치는 효과를 관찰하였다. C. glacialis에서 분리된 TCTP 유전자(ORF 522 bp) 서열을 분석하였고, 약 23 kDa의 재조합 단백질을 제작하였다. 관찰 결과, TCTP 재조합 단백질이 E. coli 세포에서 과발현 되었을 때, 세포들은 H2O2에 의해 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 저항성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 관찰을 통해, 북극 C. glacialis TCTP 단백질의 항산화 조절자로서의 역할에 대한 가능성을 처음으로 제시하였다.

  • Geophysical survey has been conducted on the continental margin off the South Shetland Islands aboard R/V Onnuri of KORDI in 1992/1993. About 800-line km of 96-channel reflection data have been acquired. On the seismic section, BSR with strong reflectivity and negative polarity has been found at 700 ms below the sea bottom. BSR is considered as the base of gas hydrates and AVO analysis was performed to study physical properties along BSR. True amplitude recovery and surface consistence amplitude were applied to seismic data and angle gathers were obtained. AVO gradient and AVO intercept are calculated on every CDP gather. Section of AVO intercept show strong reflectivity and negative polarity on BSRs and stronger continuity of BSR than stacked section. Cross plot of intercept-gradient indicates that the lower layer below BSR is filled with free gas.
