  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the geological environment changes of tidal flat in the Hampyeong Bay. Especially, it centers on the changes in the sedimentary environment using remote sensing data. Multi-temporal Landsat data were used in this study. Remote sensing methods can be effectively applied for quantitative analysis of geological environment changes in tidal flat.

  • A groundwater potential map (GPM) was built for the Nakdonggang River Basin based on ten variables, including hydrogeologic unit, fault-line density, depth to groundwater, distance to surface water, lineament density, slope, stream drainage density, soil drainage, land cover, and annual rainfall. To integrate the thematic layers for GPM, the criteria were first weighted using the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) and then overlaid using the Technique for Ordering Preferences by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) model. Finally, the groundwater potential was categorized into five classes (very high (VH), high (H), moderate (M), low (L), very low (VL)) and verified by examining the specific capacity of individual wells on each class. The wells in the area categorized as VH showed the highest median specific capacity (5.2 m3/day/m), while the wells with specific capacity < 1.39 m3/day/m were distributed in the areas categorized as L or VL. The accuracy of GPM generated in the work looked acceptable, although the specific capacity data were not enough to verify GPM in the studied large watershed. To create GPMs for the determination of high-yield well locations, the resolution and reliability of thematic maps should be improved. Criterion values for groundwater potential should be established when machine learning or statistical models are used in the GPM evaluation process.

  • The photoluminescence (PL) emission of Si nanocrystals synthesized by 400 keV Si ion implanted in $SiO_2$ is studied as a function of ion dose and annealing time. The formation of nanocrystals at around 600 nm from the surface was confirmed by RBS and HRTEM, and the Si nanocrystals showed a wide and very intense PL emission at 700-900 nm. The intensity of this emission showed a typical behaviour with a fast transitory increase to reach a saturation with the annealing time, however, the red shift increased continuously because of the Ostwald ripening. The oversaturation of dose derived a decrease of PL intensity because of the diminishment of quantum confinement. A strong enhancement of PL intensity by H passivation was confirmed also, and the possible mechanism is discussed.

  • The thermal effluent discharged from nuclear power plants can affect the offshore ecosystem change. The ability of measuring sea surface temperature in high resolution with Airborne MSS thermal spectral band(8.5 $\mu$m ~ 12.5 $\mu$m) and Landsat ETM+(10.4$\mu$m ~ 12.5 $\mu$m) gives us an information of spread range of thermal effluent. This information can be used as one of major factors fur analyzing the impact of the fish farm damage around the nuclear power plants. Every season from November 1999, this research has been conducted to investigate the extent of diffusion of thermal effluent discharged from KoRi, UlJin and WolSung Nuclear Power Plant located at the coastline of the East Sea of Korea.
