인간의 편의를 위해 생산된 플라스틱은 500년 이상 썩지 않고 생태계로 유입되어 육상 및 수생태계를 위협하고 있다. 2025년까지 2억 5천만 톤의 플라스틱이 바다로 유입될 것으로 예상되고, 2015년부터 미세플라스틱 관련 연구가 기하급수적으로 급증하고 있지만, 전 세계적으로 미세플라스틱 정의 및 분석 방법에 대한 표준화가 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 미세플라스틱 분석방법 표준화를 위해 우선적으로 수환경에서의 미세플라스틱 분석방법의 최신 연구동향을 조사하여 프로세스 순으로 제시하였으며, 이에 대한 분석방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 추후 미세플라스틱 표준화를 위한 기초자료로써 활용 가능하며, 표준화 이후 더욱 효과적인 미세플라스틱 관리 정책이 마련될 것으로 기대한다.

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process occurring in a wide range of astrophysical, heliospheric and laboratory plasmas. This process alters magnetic topology and triggers rapid conversion of magnetic energy into thermal heating and nonthermal particle acceleration. Efforts to understand the physics of magnetic reconnection have been made across multiple disciplines using remote observations of solar flares and in-situ measurements of geomagnetic storms and substorms as well as laboratory and numerical experiments. This review focuses on the progress achieved with solar flare observations in which most reconnection-related signatures could be resolved in both space and time. The emphasis is on various observable emission features in the low solar atmosphere which manifest the coronal magnetic reconnection because these two regions are magnetically connected to each other. The research and application perspectives of solar magnetic reconnection are briefly discussed and compared with those in other plasma environments.

The micrometeorological tower flux network is the cornerstone of the global terrestrial vegetation monitoring. The eddy covariance technique used for tower fluxes is derived from the conservation of mass and is most applicable for steady-state conditions over flat, extended, and uniform vegetation. This technique allows us to obtain surface fluxes of energy budget components, greenhouse and trace gases, and other pollutants. The quality-controlled flux data are invaluable to validate various models with temporal scales ranging from minutes to years and spatial scales ranging from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. In this paper, we review the theoretical background of this important eddy covariance technique, examine the measurement criteria and corrections, and finally suggest some measurement strategies that may facilitate coordinated flux measurements among different disciplines and provide a strong infrastructure for the global flux network.

The Earth is exposed to constant outflow of the solar wind from the outer layers of the Sun, and violent transient events taking place from active regions increase the energy flux of both radiation and particles leaving the Sun. Thus the space surrounding the Earth is a highly dynamic environment that responds sensitively to changes in radiation, particles and magnetic field arriving from the Sun. Nowadays, it becomes increasingly important to understand how the physical system of Earth-space works and how the space around the Earth connects to interplanetary space. In the present paper we describe how explosive solar events, such as CME(Coronal Mass Ejection) and flares affect the Earth-space environment and how the space weather reacts to them. Practical consequences are presented to demonstrate why a broader view of Earth's environment is greatly needed to cope with modern day's inhabitation problem in a rapidly developing space age.

Dietary lipids are important sources of energy and of essential fatty acids (EFA). Providing desired amounts of EFA is necessary for the normal growth and survival of juvenille fish. EFA requirements of fish are affected by fish species, water temperature and salinity, and different from those of terrestrial animals (Castell 1979). EFA affect the fluidity and permeability of membranes, enzymes activity and are known as the precursors of the eicosanoids. (omitted)

Cosmic radiation environments having extremely high-energy particles and photons cause severe malfunctions of electrical components in space and terrestrial regions. In this study, we revisit basic knowledge on radiation effects in ICT electrical devices, such as single event effect, total ionizing dose, and displacement damage. To avoid such soft errors and system failures, we introduce essential technical approaches from the perspectives of materials, layouts, circuits, and systems, including current research trends. By considering several techniques and Space EEE part standards, we suggest possible directions that can invoke New Space Era technology.

The prospects of current and coming solar-photovoltaic (PV) technologies are envisioned, arguing this solar-electricity source is beyond a tipping point in the complex worldwide energy outlook. Truly, a revolution in both the technological advancements of solar PV and the deployment of this energy technology is underway; PV is no longer an outlier. The birth of modern photovoltaics (PV) traces only to the mid-1950s, with the Bell Telephone Laboratories' development of an efficient, single-crystal Si solar cell. Since then, Si has dominated the technology and the markets, from space through terrestrial applications. Recently, some significant shift toward technology diversity have taken place. Some focus of this presentation will be directed toward PV R&D and technology advances, with indications of the limitations and relative strengths of crystalline (Si and GaAs) and thin-film (a-Si:H, Si, Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2, CdTe). Recent advances, contributions, industry growth, and technological pathways for transformational now and near-term technologies (Si and primarily thin films) and status and forecasts for next-generation PV (nanotechnologies and non-conventional and "new-physics" approaches) are evaluated. The need for R&D accelerating the now and imminent (evolutionary) technologies balanced with work in mid-term (disruptive) approaches is highlighted. Moreover, technology progress and ownership for next generation solar PV mandates a balanced investment in research on longer-term (the revolution needs revolutionary approaches to sustain itself) technologies (quantum dots, multi-multijunctions, intermediate-band concepts, nanotubes, bio-inspired, thermophotonics, ${\ldots}$ and solar hydrogen) having high-risk, but extremely high performance and cost returns for our next generations of energy consumers. This presentation provides insights to the reasons for PV technology emergence, how these technologies have to be developed (an appreciation of the history of solar PV)-and where we can expect to be by this mid-21st century.

In this study, we investigated the variations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in an agricultural reservoir during the monsoon period (June to October, 2020) with respect to the organic carbon concentration (DOC), molecular weight distribution, and optical properties. The monsoon period was divided into three phases - beginning storm (BS), during storm (DS), and after storm (AS). Our results showed significant differences in the concentrations and characteristics of DOM during the summer monsoon. The DOC concentrations were decreased after the monsoon, probably due to a dilution effect. In contrast, increasing trends were observed in the specific UV absorbance (SUVA), and relative abundances of humic-like fluorescence and larger-sized compounds. These observations implied that the large-sized and humic-like organic components with terrestrial origins strongly affected the reservoir DOM after the summer monsoon. Meanwhile, biopolymer size fraction, which is associated with algal activity, became more abundant after the monsoon. These results suggest that DOM with autochthonous sources became dominant as a result of the inflow of nutrients into the reservoir after the storm. Spatial changes in DOM within the reservoir were not pronounced as much as the temporal variations. All taken, it can be concluded that the summer monsoon simply led to the decrease of DOM concentrations while the sources and the quality of DOM underwent substantial changes, which may enrich refractory organic matter in the reservoir. This study reveals the importance of in-depth DOM quality monitoring before and after summer monsoon for effective water quality management in agricultural reservoirs.

본 연구에서는 원통형 대책구조물의 토석류 에너지 저감효과를 확인하기 위해, 대책구조물이 설치된 실제 규모의 계곡부를 수치적으로 모사한 후에 대책구조물의 배치조건을 변화시켜가면서 토석류 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석단면은 강원도 진부면 실규모 실험장에서 측량된 지상 LiDAR 데이터를 토대로 계곡부를 모델링하였고, 해석은 ABAQUS (Ver. 2021)의 Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) 기법을 이용하여 토석류-구조물의 상호 흐름거동을 모사하였다. 해석결과, 대책구조물이 설치되지 않는 조건에서의 흐름속도는 기존 실규모 토석류 실험결과와 유사한 흐름속도 변화를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 원통형 대책구조물을 설치하면 토석류의 속도를 크게 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 대책구조물을 높이면 토석류의 흐름저항이 증가함에 따라 하류부의 에너지 저감효과를 더욱 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.

KoFlux는 한국의 주요 육상생태계와 대기간의 에너지, 물, 이산화탄소의 순환을 감시하기 위해 구축한 에디 공분산 기술을 기반으로 하는 미기상학 플럭스 타워 관측지의 국내 관측망이다. KoFlux의 사명은 AsiaFlux와 동일하게 지구상의 생명의 질과 지속가능성을 보장하기 위해 아시아의 주요 생태계를 감시하고 돌보는 것이다. 구체적인 KoFlux의 목적은 (1) 생태계를 감시하고, 자료를 수집, 저장하고 배포를 가능하게 하는 하부구조와 (2) 이에 관련된 지식과 자료를 효과적으로 적용하고 배포하기 위해 정기적으로 포럼과 단기 훈련과정을 과학공동체에 제공하는 것이다. KoFlux는 아시아의 주요 육상생태계의 탄소/물/에너지 교환에 관한 생태계과학 정보와 지식을 창출하고, 과학적 연구와 적용에 있어서 다학문간 협력과 융합을 촉진하고, 지속적인 생태계 서비스를 지역사회에 제공함으로써 AsiaFlux의 비전인 "사고하는 공동체, 배움의 프런티어"를 추구하며 실천해 나간다. 현재 KoFlux 네트워크는 총 일곱 개의 관측지로 구성되어 있는데 국내의 경우 활엽수림, 침엽수림, 혼효림, 논과 비균질 농경지를 포함하며, 국외의 경우 남극과 북극의 툰드라 생태계에 위치해 있다. 등재된 관측지는 모두 표준화된 프로토콜을 사용하여 자료를 체계적으로 처리하고 있으며 자유롭게 자료 활용이 가능하도록 품질 검증된 플럭스 자료의 데이터베이스를 지속적으로 구축해 가고 있다. KoFlux는 정기적인 학술 논문 출판, 포럼 및 훈련과정을 통해, 네트워크를 성장시키고, 플럭스 관측 및 모델링 전문가간의 연결 및 정보교환을 위한 아고라를 제공하며, 관측 및 자료 분석을 위한 전문인력 양성을 위한 교육에 힘쓰고 있다. 그러나 이러한 지속적인 노력에도 불구하고 KoFlux에 등재된 산학연기관을 제외하고는 아직까지 네트워크의 성장이 제한되어 있는 실정이다. 이러한 학문간의 벽을 허물고, 네트워크에 대한 동반자 및 주인 의식을 고취시키기 위해 KoFlux는 2011년부터 서울대학교에 설립된 국가농림기상센터를 중심으로 NCAM의 주요 서비스를 담당하게 될 것이다. 이러한 일치된 협력은 현재의 감시 네트워크를 더욱 보강시키고, 차세대 과학자들을 길러내며, 우리 사회에 지속가능한 생태계 서비스의 제공을 보장할 수 있도록 이끌어 줄 것이다.
