  • Internal wave with a soliton-like, large amplitudes within several kilometers, is frequently observed in the sea surface caused by tidal rectification due to sill or rough topographic changes. Internal waves can perturb current and density field, initiate bottom sediment re -suspension and mix nutrients to photic zone. Previous studies indicate that the appearance of internal wave in the Lombok Strait have been detected in SAR image data. This paper studies effect of internal wave in the Lombok Strait to chlorophyll distribution in the surrounded areas using SeaWiFS and ERS SAR images data during 1996-2001 periods. The preliminary result concludes that the internal waves presumably affect phytoplankton distribution spreading southeastward in the coast off Bali Island. The distribution of phytoplankton at southern coastline off Bali Island when internal wave occurred is elongated and distributed further to westward (from 8.8$^{\circ}$ to 10.7$^{\circ}$LS) than the area when internal wave did not occur on August 2000 (from 9.25$^{\circ}$ to 10.25$^{\circ}$LS) as shown in figure 3. It shown that the surface phytoplankton concentration near coastal area, i.e. from 8.8$^{\circ}$ to 9.25$^{\circ}$ LS, increased when internal wave is occurred.

  • The forest conditions of North Korea has been a great concern since it was known to be closely related to many environmental problems of the disastrous flooding, soil erosion, and food shortage. To assess the long-term changes of forest area as well as the canopy conditions, several sources of multitemporal satellite data were applied to the study area near Kaesung. KOMPSAT-1 EOC data were overlaid with 1981 topographic map showing the boundaries of forest to assess the deforestation area. Delineation of the cleared forest was performed by both visual interpretation and unsupervised classification. For analyzing the change of forest canopy condition, multiple scenes of Landsat and SPOT data were selected. After preprocessing of the multitemporal satellite data, such as image registration and normalization, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was derived as a representation of forest canopy conditions. Although the panchromatic EOC data had radiometric limitation to classify diverse cover types, they can be effectively used t detect and delineate the deforested area. The results showed that a large portion of forest land has been cleared for the urban and agricultural uses during the last twenty years. It was also found that the canopy condition of remaining forests has not been improved for the last twenty years. It was also found that the canopy condition of remaining forests has not been improved for the last twenty years. Possible causes of the deforestation and the temporal pattern of canopy conditions are discussed.

  • Coastal dune, as one part of beach system, contributes for beach recovery as well as preventing beach erosion by exchanging sands between beach and dune. Due to high tidal range, the boundary of sand dunes on the west coast of Korean Peninsula is outside the high water line during spring tide and erosion also occurs in high waves during spring high tide. This paper investigates the erosion status of the dunes located in the JangHang beach by analyzing images from camera monitoring system, and tide and wave data observed adjacent to the study site during the passage of 4 typhoons in 2012. It also studies the benefits of camera monitoring images in investigating the dune erosion and analyzing coastal topographic changes.

  • 최근 기후변화에 따른 태풍과 국지성 집중호우의 증가로 국토의 64%가 산지인 우리나라에서는 재해의 위험성을 증가시키고 있다. 재해 분석에 있어 기초자료로 사용되는 지형자료의 정확도는 재해분석결과에 있어 중요하며, 지형촬영방법에 따라 정확도의 차이가 매우 크다. 지형자료 중 하나인 DEM(Digital Elevation Model) 활용분야 또한 확대되고 있고 지도제작에 있어 DEM을 사용하면 지형도를 신속히 제작할 수 있고, 편집 용이, 수작업 인원 감축, 정확도 향상 및 데이터베이스의 구축이 이루어져 체계적으로 종합적인 지형정보를 관리할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 지상 LiDAR를 이용하여 생성한 DEM은 매우 정확한 방법이며, 접촉식 측량장비에 비하여 누락되는 데이터가 적으며 정밀하게 자료를 수집가능 한 것이 장점이다. 지상LiDAR를 이용한 자료 취득 시식생과 구조물에 의해 촬영 각도가 제한되는 경우 충분한 자료를 얻기 위해 여러 위치에서 스캔이 필요하다. 한편 전 세계적으로 드론의 도입으로 인해 다양한 분야에서 높은 가능성을 가지고 활용되고 있는 실정이며, 드론을 이용한 연구들도 활발히 진행 중이다. 소규모 및 중간 규모의 하천, 산지 등의 현장 조사의 경우 LiDAR장비의 진입이 어려운 구간의 촬영 시 드론을 활용하면 보다 효율적일 것으로 예상된다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 지상LiDAR와 드론을 이용하여 얻은 DEM 자료를 비교 분석하여 드론으로 생성된 DEM 자료 활용 가능성 여부를 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 지역에 지상LiDAR와 드론 촬영을 실시하여 지형자료를 각각 획득한 후 후처리 프로그램을 이용하여 영상분석을 실시하였다. 또한 측점을 선정한 후 지형 좌표의 편차, 표고의 편차 등을 비교분석하였다.

  • 강원도 산지로부터 발원하여 동해안으로 유입되는 산지하천의 경우 경사가 급하고 유로연장이 짧아 집중호우시 유사가 하류로 빠르게 이동하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 특히 동해안과 만나는 하천의 하구부에서는 하천유황과 흐름에 따라 침식과 퇴적을 반복하며 퇴적토사가 계절변화에 따라 증가하여 하구폐색현상이 발생하는 곳이 많다. 이러한 하구폐색현상은 하천 환경적으로 위험지역을 형성하여 하천생태계를 위협할 수 있고 하천유량의 원활한 소통에 방해요인으로 작용되어 재해발생 가능성을 증대시키기도 한다. 본 연구대상지역인 강원도 삼척시 가곡천은 동해안으로 유입되는 하천으로 하구부에는 경관가치가 뛰어난 솔섬이 위치하고 있으며, 모래사장으로 이루어진 해변으로 연결되어 있어 유량의 변화에 따라 주기적으로 하구폐색이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하구폐색에 따른 하천형태학적 측면의 수리특성 파악을 위해 장기간 동안의 하천모니터링 작업과 수치모델링을 수행한 결과, 하구의 폐색현상이 하천에서 댐의 역할을 하여 기점수위를 증가시키고 일정수위이상 도달하였을 때 하구가 개방됨에 따라 수리특성이 급격히 변화하여 솔섬 지형에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 하구가 개방되었을 때의 방향에 따라 솔섬주변 지형에 대한 침퇴적 양상 및 수리특성이 크게 달라지는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • Ground subsidence in urban areas due to excessive development and degraded underground facilities is a serious problem. Geophysical surveys have been conducted to estimate the distribution and scale of cavities and subsidence. In this study, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was performed near an area of road subsidence in an urban area. The subsidence arose due to groundwater leakage that carried soil into a neighboring excavation site. The ERT survey line was located between the main subsidence area and an excavation site. Because ERT data are affected by rapid topographic changes and surrounding structures, the influence of the excavation site on the data was analyzed through field-scale numerical modeling. The effect of an excavation should be considered when interpreting ERT data because it can lead to wrong anomalous results. A method for performing 2D inversion after correcting resistivity data for the effect of the excavation site was proposed. This method was initially tested using a field-scale numerical model that included the excavation site and subsurface anomaly, which was a loosened zone, and was then applied to field data. In addition, ERT data were interpreted using an existing in-house 3D algorithm, which considered the effect of excavation sites. The inversion results demonstrated that conductive anomalies in the loosened zone were greater compared to the inversion that did not consider the effects of excavation.

  • This study analyzes and compares the geomorphic characteristics and environmental changes of coastal plains such as the Anju and Hamheung Plains located in the west and east coasts of North Korea, respectively, based on topographic maps of the 1910s and satellite images of the 2000s. The Anju Plain, so called by as Yeoldusamcheonribeol, can be divided into alluvial plains, coastal plains and erosional plains. The Hamheung Plain can be regarded as alluvial plains formed by Seongcheon-river. Approximately 84.98$km^2$ tidal flats have been reclaimed to farmlands and saltpans, and the most channels of medium and small rivers have been straightened at the Anju Plain during the last one hundred years. At the Hamheung Plain, on the other hands, approximately 3.40$km^2$ land has been increased by the advances of coastal line of the Seongcheon-river delta with a maximum of 800m, and channels of Seoseongcheon-river which showed anastomosing channels have been disappeared by reclamation. Gwang-po has been decreased by artificial reclamations and river sedimentary processes.

  • Development of housing, industrial and public lands has been a cause to increase a temperature of a city higher than that of a rural area. Knowing that, the research analyzed temperature changes in a riverside district and a coastal area depending on the land usage and climate change in the areas. Add to this, the study examined a correlation between topographic characteristics and temperature changes. According to the results, the temperature was increased by $1.80^{\circ}C$ in 2007 comparing to 2003 while the wind velocity was reduced by 0.24m/s. In addition, a more number of areas were designated as build-up areas which, in return, decreased the forested land. The analysis on the correlation reported that the riverside district has more of grassland and bare land while the coastal area has more of wooded land and grassland. The study is expected to be used as fundamental data for research on heat island effect which would be different by each regional characteristic as it proposes measures to solve the heat island effect.

  • Objectives: This study investigated the effects of a hydrofluoric acid (HA; solution of hydrogen fluoride [HF] in water)-based smart etching (SE) solution at an elevated temperature on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramics in terms of bond strength and morphological changes. Materials and Methods: Eighty sintered Y-TZP specimens were prepared for shear bond strength (SBS) testing. The bonding surface of the Y-TZP specimens was treated with 37% phosphoric acid etching at 20℃-25℃, 4% HA etching at 20℃-25℃, or HA-based SE at 70℃-80℃. In all groups, zirconia primers were applied to the bonding surface of Y-TZP. For each group, 2 types of resin cement (with or without methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate [MDP]) were used. SBS testing was performed. Topographic changes of the etched Y-TZP surface were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The results were analyzed and compared using 2-way analysis of variance. Results: Regardless of the type of resin cement, the highest bond strength was measured in the SE group, with significant differences compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). In all groups, MDP-containing resin cement yielded significantly higher bond strength values than MDP-free resin cement (p < 0.05). It was also shown that the Y-TZP surface was etched by the SE solution, causing a large change in the surface topography. Conclusions: Bond strength significantly improved when a heated HA-based SE solution was applied to the Y-TZP surface, and the etched Y-TZP surface was more irregular and had higher surface roughness.

  • Open-pit mines are the critical infrastructure for acquiring natural resources. Since it could be endangered by environmental and safety problems during operations, continuous monitoring is required for this type of mine. However, the domestic level management and accumulation of present state data of the topographical alteration are incurred by the development and restoration of open-pit mines relying on digital topographic maps and site surveys. Because of it, other than an expert cannot be viewed easily examines those changes information of open-pit mines in the domestic level. If the efficient management and public access of the open-pit mine is targeted, it is easy to build a web-based three-dimensional monitoring system, utilized in the space information software of open source. Therefore, we purposed on developing an open-pit mine monitoring system to support the development and restoration of the ecology-friendly environment, which could be easily monitored by the general public for those changes within terrain and environments due to operations of the mine.
