The grid-based analysis is useful for conservation planning, species distribution study, education, and others'. On the west coast of Korea, it was high in species richness, rarity and endangered species richness. Our results also showed that coordinated species data can be applied to develop species distribution models due to the high correlation between total species richness and coordinated species 0richness. In hot spot analysis, high species richness areas are concentrated around the west coast, while species richness is relatively low in Gangwon and Gyeongnam. Endangered species and rarity were also concentrated on the west coast and islands. Through the complementary analysis, we selected areas which are efficient to protect species; protecting more species while minimizing the conservation effort. Our result demonstrated that simply protecting Baengyueong island, Gageo island and a part of Jeju island can conserve over 50% of bird species in South Korea. However, the validity of our analysis was limited by the absence of data from national parks, and Baekdudaegan protected areas as well as inconsistent capacity among field researchers.

The climate of a given region is determined by the combination of the various climatic elements. But among them, the temperature is the most important element to classify the climatic type. The author attempted to classify the climatic types in Korea by making a analysis of the characteristics of temperature distribution. To accomplish the study, the author analyzed the daily and yearly range of temperature, the warmest and coldest months, continentality and oceanicity, thermal anomaly, and relative temperature, etc. The data of 153 weather stations are used for the analysis of the above five criteria. As a result of the study, the climate of Korea can be divided into three types, namely, the continental, coastal and intermediate(or transitional) type. The Pronounced continental type is appeared in the northern part of highland area. And the coastal type is limited to the east and south coast areas, and the southern part of the west coast area. The continentality is larger, and the oceanicity smaller, than those of Siberia, Mongolia and the inland area of China where the continental climate is most remarkable in the world. The reason why the west coast area is more continental than the east coast area may be due to the terrain effect and the warm current going north along the east coastline.

A substantial part of South Africa is subject to more than one strong wind source. The effect of that on extreme winds is that higher quantiles are usually estimated with a mixed strong wind climate estimation method, compared to the traditional Gumbel approach based on a single population. The differences in the estimated quantiles between the two methods depend on the values of the Gumbel distribution parameters for the different strong wind mechanisms involved. Cluster analysis of the distribution parameters provides a characterization of the effect of the relative differences in their values, and therefore the dominance of the different strong wind mechanisms. For gusts, cold fronts tend to dominate over the coastal and high-lying areas, while other mechanisms, especially thunderstorms, are dominant over the lower-lying areas in the interior. For the hourly mean wind speeds cold fronts are dominant in the south-west, south and east of the country. On the West Coast the ridging of the Atlantic Ocean high-pressure system dominate in the south, while the presence of a deep trough or coastal low pressure system is the main strong wind mechanism in the north. In the central interior cold fronts tend to share their influence almost equally with other synoptic-scale mechanisms.

This study aims at assessment of spatio-temporal distribution of demersal fish aggregations near the west coast of Jeju Island using hydroacoustic survey. A 200 kHz split beam transducer attached to a small towed body was used for all acoustic investigations. The received acoustic data were in situ acoustic target strength (TS, dB) for all pings and nautical area scattering coefficient(NASC, $m^2/mile^2$) for 0.1 mile along 12 acoustic transects. Demersal fish aggregations are distributed around the coastal slope having 20 to 30 m depth throughout all seasons. The concentration is higher during the summer season. With regard spatial distribution, higher demersal fish aggregations have been detected near the West coast of Shinchang and especially near Chagwi-do. Pelagic fish aggregations were higher to the south of Chagwi-do during the spring season. Additionally, standing stock of demersal fish aggregations from the NASC data, TS function, and length-weight function of dominant species was estimated as follows: 3.2 ton (CV 21.8%) in December 2006, 17.9 ton (CV 21.6%) in April 2007, 30.8 ton (CV 17.8%) in June 2007, and 22.5 ton (CV 24.2%) in October 2007. The application of hydroacoustic methods offers a new approach to understanding spatiotemporal structure and estimate the biomass of demersal fish aggregations in the coastal area. And the results can be made up limitations of qualitative analysis through net and diving for fisheries resources survey in coastal area.

Coastal sand dunes are dynamic and fragile buffer zones of sand and vegetation where the following three characteristics can be found: large quantities of sand, persistent wind capable of moving sand, and suitable locations for sand to accumulate. The functional properties of coastal sand dunes include the roles in sand storage, underground freshwater storage, coastal defense, and ecological environment space, among others. Recently, however, the integrity of coastal dune systems has been threatened by development, including sand extraction for the construction industry, military usage, conversion to golf courses, the building of seawalls and breakwaters, and recreational facility development. In this paper, we examined the development mechanisms and structural/format types of coastal sand dunes, as well as their functions and value from the perspective of coastal engineering based on reviews of previous researches and a case study of a small coastal sand dune in the Nakdong river estuary. Existing data indicate that there are a total of 133 coastal sand dunes in South Korea, 43 distributed on the East Sea coast (32 in the Gangwon area, and 11 in Gyeongsangbuk-do), 60 on the West Sea coast (4 in Incheon and Gyeonggi-do, 42 in Ghungcheongnam-do, 9 in Jellabuk-do, and 5 in Jellanam-do), and 30 on the South Sea coast (16 in Jellanam-do, 2 in Gyeongsangnam-do, and 12 in Jeju).

대외적으로 중국의 경제 성장과 항만의 급속한 발전은 환황해경제블록(Pan Yellow Sea Economic Bloc)의 규모와 역내 교역을 크게 증대시켜 우리나라 서해안권의 발전을 유도하고 있다. 국내적으로는 중국이 제1의 교역 대상국으로 바뀌면서 국가경제의 성장 축이 경부축에서 서해안축으로 중심이동을 하고 있다. 이러한 현상을 반영하듯 국내의 각종 통계지표와 컨테이너 및 비 컨테이너부문의 물동량예측에서 서해안에 위치한 항만들은 높은 성장세를 지속하고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구에서는 서해안시대를 주도할 새로운 중심지로서 잠재력이 높은 새만금지역을 대상으로 하여 발전가능성을 모색하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 연구의 결과, 새만금항만은 한중간의 공급사슬의 확대 및 항만간 네트워크 증대측면에서 향후 발전가능성이 확인되었다. 또한 환황해권의 교류증가, 중국항만 시설부족에 따른 환적화물 처리 등의 여러 가지 변수에 의하여 성장잠재력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하항의 근본적인 한계에 직면해 있는 군산항의 보완적인 측면에서 새만금 방조제를 통하여 인접지역(새만금 지역)을 연계하여 개발하는 것은 시대변화에 부응하는 바람직한 방향으로 분석되었다.

In order to examine the feasibility of Carbon Capture & Sequestration, a major technological strategy for the national goal of greenhouse gas reduction, this paper studies the various methods and corresponding costs for the transportation of $CO_2$ captured at the domestic thermal power plants, as well as performing comparative analysis with overseas CCS demonstration projects. It is predicted that the investment cost would be about 98 million USD when the using land-based pipelines to transport captured $CO_2$ from the thermal power plant located in the south coast. And using marine-based offshore pipelines, it will cost about twice the amount. When the captured $CO_2$ is transported from the power plant in the west coast instead, the cost is expected to increase substantially due to the transportation distance to the storage site being more than double to that of the south coast power plant case.

북한의 항만 및 해운의 현황과 문제점을 파악하는 것은 향후 한반도 평화 시대에 남북 간 교역을 대비하는데 중요한 의의를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 남북 항만을 기항한 선박들의 운항 현황을 Port-MIS 선박입출항 데이터를 활용하여 연도별/화물별(선박종류별)/(북한)항만별로 분석하였다. 특히, 남북 간 교역이 가장 활발했던 3개 연도(2006~2008년)의 남북 항만 간 선박입출항 자료를 시각화 작업을 통해 해상 운송의 흐름을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 2006년부터 2008년까지 해주↔인천간 해상화물이 가장 많았으며, 서해안권에서는 해주↔목포, 남포↔인천 루트가, 동해안권에서는 나진↔부산 루트가 활발했음을 파악할 수 있었다. 북한의 동해안권과 서해안권 모두 다양한 운송루트를 보이고 있는 선박은 일반화물선으로 나타났다. 이러한 일반 화물선의 경우, 한국의 서해안에 위치한 항만은 북한의 서해안에 위치한 항만끼리, 한국의 동해안에 위치한 항만들은 북한의 동해안을 각각 운항하는 경향이 나타나고 있었다. 본 연구는 남북 간 교역의 흐름을 용이하게 파악할 수 있어, 향후 남북 항만 간 연안 운송 관련 연구와 정책을 수립하는데 기초 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
