백두산 화산의 대규모 분화로 인한 우리나라 PM_2.5 영향 및 피해범위를 정량적으로 예측하기 위하여 우리나라에 직접 피해를 주는 worst-case 기상 시나리오를 적용하여 3차원 대기화학모델링 시스템 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ(Weather Research & Forecasting - Sparse Matrix Operation Kernel Emission - Comunity Multi-scale Air Quality)을 구동하였다. 과거 10년(2005~2014년)간 백두산 분화 worst-case 우선순위 중 우리나라에 가장 큰 직접 피해를 주는 대표 worst-case 시나리오를 적용하여 대상 사례일(2012.5.16)에 VEI 4의 대규모 화산 분화를 가정하여 화산 분화로 인한 초미세먼지(PM_2.5)의 영향을 분석하였다. 우리나라 지역별(시군구) PM_2.5의 영향을 예측하고 취약계층 등을 반영한 노출평가를 실시하여 취약지역을 도출하였다. 또한, 시군구의 영향을 보다 상세규모(9 km × 9 km)로 분석하여 시군구 지역 내 취약지역을 도출하였다. 백두산 분화 대표 worst-case(2012.5.16.) 분석결과, 국내 PM_2.5 피크농도는 24,547 ㎍/㎥로 낙하 화산재(5억 4천만톤) 처리가 가장 큰 문제로 대두되었던 미국 세인트헬렌스 화산 분화(1980년) 사례보다 더 극한 상황이 될 것으로 예상된다. 또한, PM_2.5 고농도 지역의 분석결과, 파주, 김포, 고양, 강화, 산청, 하동에서 고농도가 나타났다. 반면, 인구 노출분석 결과 인구 밀집지역인 파주가 특히 취약지역으로 나타났고, 취약계층 노출분석 결과 또한, 취약계층 인구가 많은 파주, 남양주, 화성이 취약지역으로 나타났다. 시군구 지역을 상세규모로 분석함으로써 하동 북부 등 시군구 지역 내에서의 고농도 지역을 도출할 수 있었다. 화산재해 발생 시 대기오염물질의 고농도 지역도 중요하지만 인구 및 민감군, 취약계층 밀집지역 등을 고려한 대응 및 대책 마련이 필요하겠으며 시군구에 대한 일률적인 대책보다 시군구 지역 내 고농도 지역 등의 선별을 통한 취약 지역별 대책 마련이 필요하겠다. 본 연구는 화산재해의 재난선포 기준 개발 및 선제적 대응체계 개발의 초석 마련에 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

The ASTER TIR (thermal infrared radiometer) sensor has 5 spectral bands over 8 to 12 ${\mu}$m region. Rock type classification using the ASTER TIR nighttime data was performed in the Erta Ale range of the Ethiopian Rift Valley. Erta Ale range is the most important axial volcanic chain of the Afar region. The petrographic diversity of lava erupted in this area is very important, ranging from magnesian transitional basalt to rhyolites. We tried to classify the rock types based on the spectral behavior of each volcanic rock types in thermal infrared range and estimated SiO$_{2}$ content with emission data by the ASTER TIR.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physico-mechanical properties and characteristics on reduction of formaldehyde and total volatile organic compound (TVOC) emission from particleboard (PB) with added volcanic pozzolan. Pozzolan was added as a scavenger at the level of 1, 3, 5, and 10 wt.% of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin for PB manufacture. The moisture content, density, thickness swelling, water absorption and physical properties of PBs were examined. Three-point bending strength and internal bond strength were determined using a universal testing machine. Formaldehyde and TVOC were determined by desiccator and 20L small chamber methods. With increasing pozzolan content the physical and mechanical properties of the PBs were not significantly changed, but formaldehyde and TVOC emissions were decreased. Because pozzolan has a rough and irregular surface with porous form, it can be used as a scavenger for PBs at a content up to 10 wt.% without any detrimental effect on the physical and mechanical properties.

The hot corrosion behavior of plasma sprayed 4 mol% $Y_2O_3-ZrO_2$ (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with volcanic ash is investigated. Volcanic ash that deposited on the TBCs in gas-turbine engines can attack the surface of TBCs itself as a form of corrosive melt. YSZ coating specimens with a thickness of 430-440 ${\mu}m$ are prepared using a plasma spray method. These specimens are subjected to hot corrosion environment at $1200^{\circ}C$ with five different duration time, from 10 mins to 100 h in the presence of corrosive melt from volcanic ash. The microstructure, composition, and phase analysis are performed using Field emission scanning electron microscopy, including Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. After the heat treatment, hematite ($Fe_2O_3-TiO_2$) and monoclinic YSZ phases are found in TBCs. Furthermore the interface area between the molten volcanic ash layers and YSZ coatings becomes porous with increases in the heat treatment time as the YSZ coatings dissolved into molten volcanic ash. The maximum thickness of this a porous reaction zone is 25 ${\mu}m$ after 100 h of heat treatment.

Particulate sulfate in $PM_{2.5}$, sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$) and size-segregated aerosol particle number concentrations were measured at a site ($32^{\circ}19'N$, $129^{\circ}59'E$) on the southwestern Japan coast from 5 March to 10 April, 2010. Results show frequent episodic increases of sulfate and $SO_2$. Compared to the average concentration of sulfate $4.4{\pm}2.7\;{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ in the whole observation period, episodic sulfate reached $10.5-20.1\;{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$. The variation of sulfate always synchronized with aerosol particles in the size range of $0.1-0.5 {\mu}m$, indicating the episodic sulfate was a consequence of the increase of the sub-micron particles. $SO_2$ did not have remarkable increase in any episodes of sulfate increase. During the passage of low pressure systems which loaded Asian dust in postfrontal air, concentrated sulfate appeared right behind the front but before dust arrival, suggesting the dominance of dust-free particulate sulfate. Weather and backward trajectory analyses revealed that air parcels with high sulfate passed eastern and northeastern China or Korean peninsula before arriving at the site. In contrast, those with high $SO_2$ passed an active volcano, Mt. Sakurajima, about 100 km in the south, suggesting the $SO_2$ was more likely from the volcanic emission. The ratio of sulfate to total sulfur compounds $({SO_4}^{2-})/({SO_4}^{2-}+SO_2)$ was 0.31-0.89 in continentally originated air while was 0.25-0.43 in the air having passed the volcano, showing more efficient conversions of $SO_2$ to sulfate in the air from the continent. The close dependence of the conversion on humidity in the continentally originated air was confirmed.

백두산에서는 2002년부터 화산성 지진활동의 증가, 정밀 수준측량 관측을 통한 지표면 팽창, 특정 화산가스 방출량의 증가, 온천수의 온도 증가 등 화산 전조활동이 활발해짐으로써 나타나는 전조현상들이 관측되었다. 이러한 관측결과 중 정밀 수준측량 데이터를 활용한 백두산 천지 칼데라 주변의 수직, 수평 지표변위 경향 분석을 통해 2002년 이후 2009년까지 지표가 팽창하는 경향을 나타냄으로써 백두산 지하 마그마 챔버의 부피가 증가하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이후 2010년을 기점으로 지표가 수축하는 경향을 나타내기도 하였으나 이후 다시 팽창하는 경향을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 북측 사면에서 2002년부터 2003년까지 칼데라 외륜산 일대의 지표면이 46.33 mm 융기 팽창한 것을 바탕으로 지하 마그마 챔버의 부피 변화량을 계산해 보면, 약 0.008 $km^3$ ($7.7-8.0{\times}10^6m^3$)의 부피가 증가한 것으로 계산되었다. 이는 백두산 산정부로부터 지하 약 5 km 지점에 천처 마그마 챔버가 형성되고 0.008 $km^3$의 마그마가 주입된 것으로 해석된다.

Carbon dioxide is one of the major driving forces causing climate changes, and many countries have been trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from various sources. Soil stores more carbon dioxide(two to three times) amounts than atmosphere indicating that soil organic carbon emission management are a pivotal issue. In this study, we developed a Soil Organic Carbon(SOC) storage estimation model to predict SOC storage amounts in soils. Also, SOC storage values were assessed based on the carbon emission price provided from Republic Of Korea(ROK). Here, the SOC model calculated the soil hydraulic properties based on the soil physical and chemical information. Base on the calculated the soil hydraulic properties and the soil physical chemical information, SOC storage amounts were estimated. In validation, the estimated SOC storage amounts were 486,696 tons($3.526kg/m^2$) in Jindo-gun and shown similarly compared to the previous literature review. These results supported the robustness of our SOC model in estimating SOC storage amounts. The total SOC storage amount in ROK was 305 Mt, and the SOC amount at Gyeongsangbuk-do were relatively higher than other regions. But the SOC storage amount(per unit) was highest in Jeju island indicating that volcanic ashes might influence on the relatively higher SOC amount. Based on these results, the SOC storage value was shown as 8.4 trillion won in ROK. Even though our SOC model was not fully validated due to lacks of measured SOC data, our approach can be useful for policy-makers in reducing soil organic carbon emission from soils against climate changes.

The brightness of Io's magnetic footprint, an indicator of electromagnetic interaction at the satellite, appears to be strongly connected to the satellite's distance from the plasma equator. As a result, the brightest footprints were detected when Io is near the interception location between the satellite's orbital plane and the plasma equator. However, volcanic activities on Io show strong correlation with the equatorward shift of Jupiter's main auroral oval, consequently causing the disappearance of Io's footprint. The same conclusion was suggested via the observation of Jupiter's hectometric radio emission, called HOM, which closely corresponds to Jupiter's auroral activity. The plasma environment near the Jovian satellites was found to vary significantly at different observational epochs. The electron density increased by approximately a factor of three from the Voyager epoch (1979) to the Galileo epoch (1995), while the electron density was found to be significantly higher (~ 5 times) in the Cassini epoch (2001). In this current study, the magnetic footprints were clearly brighter ten years ago (from peak brightness in 1998-2001) than the footprints detected in 2007. For volcanic activities on Io in 2007, there are two clear activities in February and late May. The magnetic footprint appeared to be dimmer in March 2007, expected to be the result of volcano activities in Feb 2007. However, the magnetic footprint brightness in June appeared to be slightly brighter than the footprints observed in May. The reason could be the time delay between the brightening of the sodium nebula on approximately May 31st and, a while later, the enhancement of flux tube content peaking on approximately June 5th. On the other hand, Io's magnetic footprints were observed during June 1st - 10th when they may not yet have been affected by the increase in mass outflow due to the increase of plasma density.

Size-and time-resolved aerosol samples were collected using an eight-stage Davis rotating unit for monitoring (DRUM) sampler from 23 March to 29 April 2001 at Gosan, Jeju Island, Korea, which is one of the super sites of Asia-Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment(ACE-Asia). These samples were analyzed using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence for 3-hr average concentrations of 19 elements including Al, Si, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, and Pb. The size-resolved data sets were then analyzed using the positive matrix factorization(PMF) technique to identify possible sources and estimate their contributions to particulate matter mass. PMF analysis uses the uncertainty of the measured data to provide an optimal weighting. Twelve sources were resolved in eight size ranges($0.09{\sim}12{\mu}m$) and included continental soil, local soil, sea salt, biomass/biofuel burning, coal combustion, oil combustion, municipal incineration, nonferrous metal source, ferrous metal source, gasoline vehicle, diesel vehicle, and volcanic emission. The PMF result of size-resolved source contributions showed that natural sources represented by local soil, sea salt, continental soil, and volcanic emission contributed about 79% to the predicted primary particulate matter(PM) mass in the coarse size range ($1.15{\sim}12{\mu}m$) while anthropogenic sources such as coal combustion and biomass/biofuel burning contributed about 58% in the fine size range($0.56{\sim}2.5{\mu}m$). The diesel vehicle source contributed mostly in ultra-fine size range($0.09{\sim}0.56{\mu}m$) and was responsible for about 56% of the primary PM mass.

우리나라는 2008년부터 심해저 광물자원 확보를 위하여 남서태평양 통가국 EEZ 내 Tofua arc의 해저 화산열도에서 해저열수광상에 관한 조사를 지속적으로 수행하고 있다. 통가국 라우분지 TA 25 해저산에서 해저 열수 활동에 의하여 형성된 광물들의 특성과 분포를 규명하기 위하여 X선회절분석, 주사전자현미경 관찰, X선형광분석과 유도결합 플라즈마 방출분광분석을 실시하였다. 연구에 사용된 시료는 TA 25 해저산 주변에서 채취된 7개의 코어 시료와 9개의 해저퇴적물 시료이다. 열수분출구 모든 지역에서 중정석, 섬아연석, 클리노클레이스 등이 존재하고, 열수분출구 A 지역에는 석고, 스멕타이트 및 카올린 광물, 열수분출구 B와 C 지역에는 스멕타이트, 카올린 광물, 황동석과 황철석, 열수분출구 D 지역에는 석고, 황동석, 황철석, 침철석 등이 분포한다. 점토부분에 대한 분석 결과 칼데라 중심부 지역을 제외한 모든 지역에서 스멕타이트와 소량의 카올리나이트가 포함되어 있는 것으로 보아 이질변질작용에 해당하는 열수변질이 있었음을 알 수 있다. 열수분출구 B, C, D 지역은 여러가지 종류의 황화광물과 비소화광물이 존재한다. 광물조성, 주성분과 미량성분 분석 결과로 판단할 때 열수분출구 B, C, D 지역이 비교적 강한 고온의 열수변질작용, 열수분출구 A와 칼데라 중심부 지역은 열수의 영향을 적게 받았거나 저온의 열수변질작용을 받은 것으로 판단된다. 추후 열수광상 탐사는 열수분출구 B, C, D 지역에서 수행되어야 할 것으로 여겨진다.
