New renewable energy information becomes one of the greatest issues all over the world because of serious environment problems and limited fossil resources. The new renewable energy source information system is treated seriously for efficient management and distribution as dealing with these energy problems. However, it is difficult to manage and utilize new renewable energy information because gathering and surveying information is progressed individually in each research field. Therefore this paper will establish ISP(Information strategy Planning) and propose the basic management system based-on GIS to analyze new renewable energy such as solar energy, wind power, small hydro, biomass, geothermal etc. and build the integration management system. The proposed integration management system can provide spatial analysis using thematic map, data search, data import/export and interpolation about users quenes.

Thermal characterization of geomaterials has significant implication on the geothermal energy, disposal of nuclear wastes, geological sequestration of carbon dioxides and recovery of hydrocarbon resources. Heat transfer in multiphase materials is dominated by the thermal conductivity of consisting components, porosity, degree of saturation and overburden pressure, which have been investigated by the empirical correlation at macro-scale. The thermal measurement by Transient Plane Source (TPS) and associated algorithm for interpretation of thermal behavior in geomaterials corroborate the robustness of sensing techniques. The method simultaneously provides thermal conductivity, diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity. The newly introduced thermal network model enables estimating thermal conductivity of geomaterials subjected to the effective stress, which has not been evaluated using previous thermal models. The proposed methods shows the applicability of reliability of TPS technique and thermal network model.

We developed a new algorithm for jointly inverting dc resistivity and seismic travel time tomography data based on the multiple constraints: (1) structural similarity based on cross-gradient, (2) correlation between two different material properties, and (3) a priori information on the material property distribution. Through the numerical experiments of surface dc resistivity and seismic refraction surveys, the performance of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated and the effects of different regularizations were analyzed.

A physical model experiment with GPR and 3-D resisitivity survey were conducted to investigate the geoelectrical response of hydrocarbon-impacted zone, so called smeared zone, on the geophysical data. The results from the experiment show that GPR signals were enhanced when LNAPL was present as a residual saturation in the water saturated system (${\varepsilon}_r$ = 21) due to less attenuation of the electromagnetic energy through the medium, compared to when the medium was saturated with only water (${\varepsilon}_r$ = 21). 3-D resistivity data obtained from the former gas station site demonstrate that the highly contaminated zones could be imaged with low resistivities attributed to the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons at the aged, hydrocarbon-impacted sites. The study results also show that the geophysical methods, as a non-invasive sounding technique, can be a very useful tool for mapping hydrocarbon-contaminated zones.

Magnetic method is rapid, cheap and simple geophysical exploration technique, and has wide range of applications such as resources prospecting, geological structure investigation and even geotechnical and environmental problems. Documents during Japanese occupation says that magnetic method was used for exploring metallic ore deposits and hot spring, and that a geomagnetic observatory was operated. From mid 1950's, magnetic explorations for natural resources such as metallic ore, uranium, coal, and groundwater were intensively executed for industrialization. Magnetic survey techniques were rapidly advanced during 1970's and 1980's with improvements of instruments, growth of geophysical manpower, and availability of computers. Decline of mining industry since mid 1980's moved the exploration objects from traditional resources to new ones such as groundwater and geothermal resources. Recently appeared applications such as natural hazard assessment, and engineering and environmental studies increased the magnetic method's utility in the realm of exploration.

Due to the limited areal space for installation, borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) at depths deeper than 300 m are considered for geothermal heating and cooling in the urban area. The deep vertical closed-loop BHEs are unconventional due to the depth and the range of the typical installation depth is between 100 and 200 m in Korea. The BHE in the study consists of 50A (outer diameter 50 mm, SDR 11) PE U-tube pipe in a 150 mm diameter borehole with the depth of 300 m. In order to compensate the buoyancy caused by the low density of PE pipe ($0.94{\sim}0.96g/cm^3$) in the borehole filled with ground water, 10 weight band sets (4.6 kg/set) were attached to the bottom of U-tube. A thermal response test (TRT) and fundamental basic surveys on the thermophysical characteristics of the ground were conducted. Ground temperature measures around $15^{\circ}C$ from the surface to 100 m, and the geothermal gradient represents $1.9^{\circ}C/100m$ below 100 m. The TRT was conducted for 48 hours with 17.5 kW heat injection, 28.65 l/min at a circulation fluid flow rate indicates an average temperature difference $8.9^{\circ}C$ between inlet and outlet circulation fluid. The estimated thermophysical parameters are 3.0 W/mk of ground thermal conductivity and 0.104 mk/W of borehole thermal resistance. In the stepwise evaluation of TRT, the ground thermal conductivity was calculated at the standard deviation of 0.16 after the initial 13 hours. The sensitivity analysis on the borehole thermal resistance was also conducted with respect to the PE pipe diameter and the thermal conductivity of backfill material. The borehole thermal resistivity slightly decreased with the increase of the two parameters.

제주도는 지질학적으로 제4기에 형성된 화산섬으로 지금까지 고온의 지열징후는 보고된 바 없으나, 남한에서 가장 최근까지 화산활동이 있었던 것으로 기록되어 있어 화산활동과 관련된 심부 지열자원 부존 가능성은 아직 열려있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제주도에서 지열부존 가능성을 타진하고 제주도 심부 지질구조 파악을 목적으로 2차원 및 3차원 자기지전류 (MT) 탐사를 수행하였다. 탐사는 중산간지역에서 한라산을 중심으로 동, 서, 남, 북의 4방향 4측선과 제주 서부지역에 남북방향의 1측선을의 총 5개 측선에 대해 수행하였으며, 이에 대한 MT 탐사자료의 2차원 및 3차원 역산을 통하여 한라산 하부 및 주변의 심부 지질구조를 파악하고자 하였다. 역산 해석 결과는 천부 구조는 기존 시추조사 결과 밝혀진 층서구조의 형태를 잘 나타내어 획득된 자료의 신뢰도가 높음을 지시하였다. 즉, 제주도 최 상부를 피복하고 있는 현무암 등의 화산암류는 고비저항(수백 ohm-m)으로, 그 하부의 해성 미고결퇴적층(U층 및 서귀포층)은 저비저항으로, 그리고 최하부의 응회암이나 화강암으로 구성된 기반암은 1,000 ohm-m 이상의 고비저항 층으로 잘 구분되어 나타났다. 특히, 제주도에서 특징적으로 해수면 하부 수십 ~ 수백 m에 존재하는 것으로 알려진 미고결퇴적층이 10 ohm-m 내외로 측선 전반에 걸쳐 나타났다. 이는 기존의 시추결과에서 미고결 퇴적층이 제주도 전역에 걸쳐 해수면 하부 100 m 내외의 심도에서 관찰되는 것과 일치하는 결과이다. 기반암 하부에서는 특징적으로 모든 측선의 중앙부에서 저비저항 이상대가 영상화되었으며 이는 2차원 역산과 3차원 역산해석에서 공통적으로 나타났다. 특히, 3차원 해석에서는 이러한 저비저항 이상대가 한라산 정상에서 서북쪽 부근에 나타나는데 이는 과거의 화산활동과 관련된 지질학적인 구조에 의한 영향일 가능성과 측선의 양단과 중앙에서 주변 바다의 영향이 다르게 나타나기 때문일 가능성으로 볼 수 있다. 즉, 전자는 심부에 발단된 각각의 파쇄대가 모든 측선의 중앙부에서 교차하거나 이를 통한 한라산의 생성과정과 연관된 지질학적인 구조일 가능성을 의미한다. 만약 한라산을 형성한 화성활동의 영향이 아직 지하 심부에 남아있다면 지열수의 부존 혹은 마그마의 통로가 되었을 단층의 영향으로 한라산 하부에 저비저항 이상대로 나타날 가능성이 높다. 그러나 후자에 의한 가능성도 배제할 수는 없으므로 향후 주변바다에 대한 영향을 고려한 3차원 역산해석이나 심부시추 등을 통한 상세한 지질조사 등 추가적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
