This study was carried out for reading the change of local meteorological environment according to dam construction of Nakdong-river using meteorological data analysis, and modeling. The meteorological data analysised are mean temperature, foggy day, precipittion day and sunshine time. As tile result of analyzing meteorological data of before and after the construction of dam in Andong and Hapchon, some discrepancy were observed by month because the lakes have different effect on the region as wind field. The common phenomenons that are revealed after dam construction are increase of foggy day and decrease of sunshine time.

본 연구는 낙동강 하구 주변해역의 파랑 특성을 분석하기 위해 2007년 춘계(4월, 5월)에 낙동강 하구 중앙 해상 지점에서 관측된 파랑자료와 기상청에서 운영하고 있는 거제도 해양기상 부이에서 동일시점에 관측된 결과와 비교 검증하고 관측기간동안의 두 지점에서의 기상인자(기압, 기온, 풍속 및 풍향)와의 상관성을 비교하였다. 이상에서 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 2007년 춘계(4월과 5월)의 거제도 해양기상 부이 파랑 관측자료가 최대파고 약 3-4m, 유의파고 약 2m, 주기 약 5-8sec의 범위에 해당하는 반면에 낙동강 하구에서의 파랑 관측자료는 파고가 대체적으로 1m미만의 상태로 정온한 상태를 보이며 주기는 4-7sec의 범위를 가진다. (2) 춘계 파랑 관측자료에서 바람에 의한 파랑 감쇄가 없을 경우 거제도 해양기상 부이에서부터 천수 또는 굴절에 의한 파랑변형의 효과로 인해 낙동강 하구 중앙부까지 파랑이 전달되면서 최대파고값은 약 2.2m, 유의파고값은 약 1.3m정도 감소된다. (3) 낙동강 하구역으로 내습하는 해양파랑은 대상해역의 기상조건, 특히 바람의 영향(풍속 및 풍향)에 따라서 증감하는 것을 알 수 있는데, 특히 풍향이 역풍이 부는 경우 유의파고는 감소하는 경향을 나타내며 풍속이 클수록 그 감소 기울기도 더욱 커짐을 알 수 있다.

자연환경이나 지역생태계는 다양한 요인에 의하여 변화가 일어나지만 그 중에서도 수온의 변화는 하천생태계에서 주변환경에 영향을 미치는 큰 요인 중 하나이다. 하지만 현재까지 수온 변화에 관한 연구는 수온이 하천환경에 미치는 영향력에 비해 활발히 진행되지 못하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2015년부터 2021년까지 홍천강의 겨울철 얼음의 면적 변화를 통해 수온의 변화를 연구하고자 한다. 현장조사 결과를 참고하여 광학 위성영상을 분류하였으며, SAR 위성 영상은 GLCM 텍스처 분석법을 이용하여 입력 자료의 한계를 극복하고자 하였다. 사용된 모든 영상의 정확도 검증을 수행한 뒤, 산출된 월 평균 얼음 면적과 인접한 기상대의 기온자료와 비교를 하였다. 수온과 얼음의 면적이 상관관계가 있음을 알 수 있었으며 본 연구결과는 접근이 힘들거나 시스템이 갖춰지지 않은 소규모 하천의 환경변화 연구에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

In this study a multi-site daily precipitation generator which generates the precipitation with similar spatial correlation, and at the same time, with conserving statistical properties of the observed data is developed. The proposed generator is intended to be a tool for down-scaling the data obtained from GCMs or RCMs into local scales. The occurrences of precipitation are simultaneously modeled in multi-sites by 2-parameter first-order Markov chain using random variables of spatially correlated while temporally independent, and then, the amount of precipitation is simulated by 3-parameter mixed exponential probability density function that resolves the issue of maintaining intermittence of precipitation field. This approach is applied to the Nakdong river basin and the observed data are daily precipitation data of 19 locations. The results show that spatial correlations of precipitation series are relatively well simulated and statistical properties of observed precipitation series are simulated properly.

Growing complexity in ecosystem structure and functions, under impacts of climate and land-use changes, requires interdisciplinary understandings of processes and the whole-system, and accurate estimates of the changing functions. In the last three decades, observation networks for biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem functions under climate change, have been developed by interested scientists, research institutions and universities. In this paper we will review (1) the development and on-going activities of those observation networks, (2) some outcomes from forest carbon cycle studies at our super-site "Takayama site" in Japan, and (3) a few ideas how we connect in-situ and satellite observations as well as fill observation gaps in the Asia-Oceania region. There have been many intensive research and networking efforts to promote investigations for ecosystem change and functions (e.g., Long-Term Ecological Research Network), measurements of greenhouse gas, heat, and water fluxes (flux network), and biodiversity from genetic to ecosystem level (Biodiversity Observation Network). Combining those in-situ field research data with modeling analysis and satellite remote sensing allows the research communities to up-scale spatially from local to global, and temporally from the past to future. These observation networks oftern use different methodologies and target different scientific disciplines. However growing needs for comprehensive observations to understand the response of biodiversity and ecosystem functions to climate and societal changes at local, national, regional, and global scales are providing opportunities and expectations to network these networks. Among the challenges to produce and share integrated knowledge on climate, ecosystem functions and biodiversity, filling scale-gaps in space and time among the phenomena is crucial. To showcase such efforts, interdisciplinary research at 'Takayama super-site' was reviewed by focusing on studies on forest carbon cycle and phenology. A key approach to respond to multidisciplinary questions is to integrate in-situ field research, ecosystem modeling, and satellite remote sensing by developing cross-scale methodologies at long-term observation field sites called "super-sites". The research approach at 'Takayama site' in Japan showcases this response to the needs of multidisciplinary questions and further development of terrestrial ecosystem research to address environmental change issues from local to national, regional and global scales.

전남 담양군 서부 지역에 있는 병풍산, 삼인산과 같은 산지를 개석하는 영산강 지류인 대전천과 수북천이 형성한 퇴적층의 성격을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 퇴적 환경을 분석하기 위하여 현장 조사와 최근에 이뤄진 한국지질자원연구원의 시추 조사 결과를 이용하였다. 영산강 주변의 지류 유입 부분과 상류 부분의 퇴적층의 심도는 지금까지 추정되던 것보다 얇은 4~7m내외인 것으로 나타났다. 퇴적층의 기저는 기반암의 풍화대로 이루어져 있으며 전반적인 기복 경사는 현재의 지표면과 상당히 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 영산강의 유로가 퇴적물로 피복되기 이전에 비하여 급격히 변화하지는 않은 것으로 사료된다. 한편, 지류 주변의 퇴적물은 각력으로 입자의 크기가 크고 점토 등이 포함되어 분급이 불량한 산지 홍수성 퇴적층이다. 산록면이나 배후 산지의 전면부에 단구 퇴적물 또는 사면 퇴적물의 형태로 존재하는 사면 물질이 주된 퇴적물의 공급원 이었다. 일부에서는 다각형 구조가 나타나 퇴적물의 생산과 공급과정에 다양한 지형 형성이 과정이 복합적으로 작용하는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 퇴적층으로 구성된 평야에 산재하는 구릉들은 주로 기반암의 풍화 산물로 구성되어 있으며, 구릉의 말단부에서 퇴적층이 나타나는 경우 층후가 매우 얇았다. 따라서 현재 수북천과 대전천 유역 가운데 퇴적이 우세한 구역은 기복면이 얇게 피복한 지형으로 부분적으로 기반암 풍화대의 기복에 의해 지배되는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

One key step in the plant restoration process is the collection of seeds from the field. For the selection of source populations of target plant species for translocation purposes (reintroduction or reinforcements), several approaches are possible. A practical method involves the use of data from reciprocal transplant studies. If no direct data are available, knowledge of population genetics and the phylogeography of the target species can serve as an alternative. In this short review, we briefly propose guidelines for those collecting seeds for plant species restoration based on population genetics theory, focusing on two main questions: Where does the plant material come from and how are sources designated, and how are seeds efficiently collected from local populations? While genetic data on a larger scale (phylogeography and population genetics) are needed to form a reply to the first question, similar data on a smaller scale (fine-scale genetic structures within populations) are necessary to shed light on the second issue.

Due to the growing impact of non-point source pollution and limitation of water treatment technology, a new policy of water quality management, called a source protection, is now becoming more important in drinking water supply. The source protection means that the public agency purchases the pollution sensitive area, such as riparian zone, and prohibit locations of point and non-point sources. Many studies have reported that this new policy is more economical in drinking water supply than the conventional one. However, it is very difficult to determine location and size of the pollution sensitive zone in the watershed. In this paper, we presented the scientific criteria for the priority of the pollution sensitive zone, along with a case study of the upstream watershed of the Paldang Reservoir, Han River. This study includes applications of the analytical hierarchy process(AHP) and a watershed-based land prioritization(WLP) model. After major criteria affecting water quality were selected, the AHP and geographic analysis were performed. The WLP model allowed us to include both quantity and quality criteria, using AHP as the multi-criteria method in making decision and reflecting local characteristics and various needs. By adding a travel-time function, which represents the prototype effectively, the results secured adaptability and scientific objectivity as well. As such, the WLP model appeared to provide reasonable criteria in determining the prioritization of land acquisition. If the tested data are used with a validated travel-time and AHP method is applied after further discussion among experts in such field, highly reliable results can be obtained.

South Korea experiences few large scale erosion and sedimentation problems, however, there are numerous local sedimentation problems. A reliable and consistent approach to modelling and management for sediment processes are desirable in the country. In this study, field measurements of sediment concentration from 34 alluvial river basins in South Korea were used with the Modified Einstein Procedure (MEP) to determine the total sediment load at the sampling locations. And then the Flow Duration-Sediment Rating Curve (FD-SRC) method was used to estimate the specific degradation for all gauging stations. The specific degradation of most rivers were found to be typically 50-300 tons/㎢·yr. A model tree data mining technique was applied to develop a model for the specific degradation based on various watershed characteristics of each watershed from GIS analysis. The meaningful parameters are: 1) elevation at the middle relative area of the hypsometric curve [m], 2) percentage of wetland and water [%], 3) percentage of urbanized area [%], and 4) Main stream length [km]. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of existing models is in excess of 1,250 tons/㎢·yr and the RMSE of the proposed model with 6 additional validations decreased to 65 tons/㎢·yr. Erosion loss maps from the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), satellite images, and aerial photographs were used to delineate the geospatial features affecting erosion and sedimentation. The results of the geospatial analysis clearly shows that the high risk erosion area (hill slopes and construction sites at urbanized area) and sedimentation features (wetlands and agricultural reservoirs). The result of physiographical analysis also indicates that the watershed morphometric characteristic well explain the sediment transport. Sustainable management with the data mining methodologies and geospatial analysis could be helpful to solve various erosion and sedimentation problems under different conditions.
