The purpose of this paper is to analyze the spatial distribution and change of the frequency of Yellow Sand days and to examine their relationship with atmospheric circular characteristics at the surroundings of the Korean peninsula. Yellow Sand days data are used by intensity, Siberian High Index and monthly mean temperature of the Northern Hemisphere. In the Middle-western region, the occurrence frequency of Yellow Sand days was higher during the study period (1973-2004). Also, the occurrence frequency of Yellow Sand days increased to latter half 16 years compared with the first half 16 years, and be clearer in Middlewest regions. Yellow Sand days frequency increased, and the trend was distinct in the Jungbu region during the study period. Increasing trend of Yellow Sand days frequency was significant for the recent 22 years. Yellow Sand days had a negative relationship with Siberian High Index in February and March. Therefore, Siberian High Index became weaker in the spring, and possibility for the occurrence of Yellow Sand days was generating larger. Yellow Sand days had a positive relationship in monthly mean temperature of the Northern Hemisphere. Especially, the case of the strong Yellow Sand days is significant. Recently, global warming might be affecting the occurrence of strong Yellow Sand days.

Asian Dust is a seasonal phenomenon which affects much of East Asia mostly in spring. The dust and sand storm originate in the deserts of Mongolia. northern China, and Kazakhstan. Asian Dust is carried eastward by prevailing winds, and pass over China, the Korean Peninsula. and Japan. In recent years, Republic of Korea, China, and Japan have participated in projects associated with implementation of observation network and reforestation in the source region. The information of Asian Dust can be exchanged in real time among the east Asian countries through the international co-operation.

Yangsan fault in the southeastern part of Korean peninsula has been locally reactivated along a prexisted fault during the late Pleistocene time. Geomorphological evidence of the reactivation is revealed at the northern segment(Yugye-ri, Tosung-ri areas) of the Yangsan fault. The reactivation is distinctively characterized by fault gouge and fracture zone with high frequency in the Yugye-ri area. Obique slip separation of the area is about three meters of the middle terrace. The cumulative vertical displacement is recognized after the formation of the middle terrace. Age of the reactivated faulting is constrained to during the formation of dissected valley deposits. Average vertical slip based on paleo-event is inferred to about 0.5-0.7 meter in this area.

Variation of the polar front in the East Sea is studied using temperature and dissolved oxygen data obtained from Japan Meteorological Agency from 1972 to 1999. Variation of the polar front in the East Sea has a close relation to the variation of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC). When the TWC spreads widely in the East Sea, polar front moves northward. The spatial variation of the polar front is greater in the southwestern area of the East Sea and the northern area of Tsugaru Strait where the variation of the TWC's distribution area is greater than those in others of the East Sea. Hence, in the southeastern area of the East Sea, that is, between near Noto peninsula and Tsugaru Strait, the spatial variation of the polar front is not so wide as in the southwestern area because the flow of TWC is stable.

Background: The Korean Peninsula exhibits a characteristic graded floral distribution, with northern (Manchurian flora) and southern (China-Japan-Korea flora) lineage species coexisting according to climatic and topographical characteristics. However, this distribution has been altered by climate change. To identify ecosystem changes caused by climate change and develop appropriate measures, the current ecological status of the entire Korean Peninsula should first be determined; however, analysis of the current floral distribution in North Korea has been hampered for political reasons. To overcome these limitations, this study constructed a database of floral distributions in both South and North Korea by integrating spatial information from the previously established National Ecological Survey in South Korea and geocoding data from the literature on biological distributions published in North Korea. It was then applied to analyze the current status and distribution characteristics of Manchurian and China-Japan-Korea plant species on the Korean Peninsula. Results: In total, 45,877 cases were included in the Manchurian and China-Japan-Korea floral distribution database. China-Japan-Korea species were densely distributed on Jeju-do and along the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. The distribution density decreased as the latitude increased, and the distributions reached higher-latitude regions in the coastal areas compared with the inland regions. Manchurian species were distributed throughout North Korea, while they were densely distributed in the refugia formed in the high-elevation mountain regions and the Baekdudaegan in South Korea. In the current distribution of biomes classified according to the Whittaker method, subtropical and endemic species were densely distributed in temperate seasonal forest and woodland/shrubland biomes, whereas boreal species were densely distributed in the boreal forest biome Korean Peninsula, with a characteristic gradation of certain species distributed in the temperate seasonal forest biome. Factor analysis showed that temperature and latitude were the main factors influencing the distribution of flora on the Korean Peninsula. Conclusions: The findings reported herein on the current floral distribution trends across the entire Korean Peninsula will prove valuable got mitigating the ecological disturbances caused by ongoing climate change. Additionally, the gathered flora data will serve as a basis for various follow-up studies on climate change.

이 연구는 cytochrome b 유전자 서열을 이용하여 쏘가리속 어류의 분자계통 진화적 관계와 쏘가리 지역 개체군 간의 유전적 차이를 조사함으로써 한극산 쏘가리의 분자진화적인 위치와 유래를 알기 위하여 실시하였다. 그 결과, 쏘가리속 어류의 진화초기에 S. roulei가 가장 먼저 분화하였으며 그 후 조사대상 어류인 쏘가리속 6개 종 (S. schezeri, S. undu-lata, S. fortis, S. obscura, S. knerii 및 S. chuatsi) 이 분화한 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 이들 어류들의 분화 우선순위는 통계학적으로 강하게 지지되지 못해서 명확하게 밝히기는 어려웠다. 한편 쏘가리 개체군은 크게 세 개의 집단으로 구분되었다. 첫 번째 집단은 한국산 개체군과 중국북부 (Liaoning, Henan) 개체군이다. 두 번째 집단은 Anhui, Fujian 및 Guangxi 개체군이며, 세 번째 집단은 Zhejiang 개체군이다. 첫 번째 집단 내 한국산 쏘가리 개체군과 중국 북부(Liaoning, Henan)개체군 사이의 염기서열 차이는 1~5 base pairs (bp)였으며 첫 번째 집단과 두 번째 집단의 염기서열 차이는 31~43 bp였다. 그리고 두 번째 집단과 세 번째 집단 사이의 염기서열 차이는 37~44 bp를 나타냈으며, 첫 번째 집단과 세 번째 집단 사이의 염기서열 차이는 27~29 bp였다. 따라서 한국산 쏘가리의 유래는 중국의 북부 개체군이 신생대 3기 Pliocene 기간 중에, 즉 초기 빙하기 이전 시기에 중국 중부 또는 남부의 쏘가리 개체군으로부터 최초로 분화된 후 빙하기를 거치면서 한반도로 그 분포범위를 확장함으로써 생겨난 것으로 추정된다.

This study tries to analyze topographic distribution and characteristics of as well as formative age and incision rate of fluvial terraces in Danyang River on western side and Geum River on eastern side of the northern Sobaek Mountains and to estimate geomorphic development during the late Quaternary in the mountains regarded as one of the uplift axes in the Korean Peninsula. OSL age dating shows that the fluvial terrace I with an altitude above riverbed of approximately 7~13 m in Danyang River has a formative age of approximately 18 ka (MIS 2) and incision rate in the river is approximately 0.156~0.194 m/ka based on the age. Altitudes above riverbed of the fluvial terrace I in Geum River range from approximately 7 to 14 m and the terrace is thought to be older than 70 ka based on age result from aeolian sediments above the terrace deposits, suggestive of an incision rate less than approximately 0.10 m/ka. These results indicate lower uplift rate in the northern Sobaek Mountains than in the Taebaek Mountains. Moreover, it can be suggested that the northern Sobaek Mountains has experienced asymmetric uplift during the late Quaternary, because the river on western side of the northern Sobaek Mountains shows greater uplift rate than the eastern side river does. Low incision rate in Geum River can be attributed to low altitude of the river basin with little difference in altitude from the base level as well as to gentle river slope due to influence of Nakdong River.

황해와 동중국해 북부에는 해퇴에 의한 사질 퇴적체가 분포한다. 이러한 사질 퇴적체들은 지구물리 탐사와 코어를 이용한 다양한 연구들이 수행되었지만, 광물학적 연구는 거의 수행되지 않았다. 이번 연구에서는 황해와 동중국해 북부지역의 중광물 특성을 파악하고, 광물화학적 분석을 통해 조립질 퇴적물의 기원지와 퇴적환경을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구지역에서는 8종의 중광물(녹염석, 각섬석, 석류석, 저어콘, 스핀, 금홍석, 인회석, 모나자이트)이 확인되었으며, 중광물의 분포와 퇴적물의 특성을 기반으로 6개의 지역(area A-F)으로 구분되었다. 연구지역의 각섬석은 칼슘 각섬석군의 에데나이트와 보통각섬석으로 분류되었으며, 석류석은 주로 파이랄스파이트군의 알만딘으로 확인되었다. 중광물 조성과 광물화학 결과는 구분된 6개의 지역에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보였으며, 기원지와 퇴적환경을 결정하는데 이용되었다. 황해 동부의 area A와 B는 한반도 기원의 퇴적물로 판단되며, 두 지역은 조류와 연안류에 의해 서로 다른 중광물 특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 모나자이트는 area B에서만 발견되며, 한반도 서남부 기원지의 지시자로 이용될 수 있다. 황해 서부의 area D와 E는 황하 기원 퇴적물의 특성을 보이며, area E는 양쯔강 퇴적물로 구성된다. 동중국해 북부의 area C는 양쯔강 기원의 중광물 특성을 보이며, 해수면 상승과 함께 고하구의 해퇴에 의해 형성되었다. 또한, 풍부한 인회석은 area C의 퇴적 시기가 최후빙기극대기와 가까움을 나타낸다.
