The gravity measurment has been carried out at 48 gravity stations with intervals of 1.0~1.5 km along the survey line between Samcheog, Gosari and Taebaek to study subsurface geology and geologic structure in the northeastern part of the Ockchon zone. The Bouguer gravity anomaly values were obtained from the measured gravity values through the gravity corrections. The subsurface geology and geologic structure were interpreted quantitatively by means of the Fourier series method and Talwani method for 2.5 dimensional body. In the study area, the depth of Conrad discontinuity is about 10 km at Samcheog, northeastern end of the survey line, and it is increased rapidly to about 12.5 km at Miro, 15 km at Gosari and 15.5 km at Dongjeom, southwestern end of the survey line, respectively. The depth of the basement of the Ockchon zone exposed at Samcheog is increased smoothly to about 2 km at 5 km from Samcheog along the survey line, and is exposed again in the area between Singiry and Gosari. Beyond Gosari its depth is increased to about 1.7 km, and displaced 2.3 km downward by Osipcheon fault near Dogyeri and 0.5 km by Baeksan thrust near Cheolam, respectively. Many V-shaped low Bouguer gravity anomalies resulted from the fracture zone associated with faults imply the existence of Osipcheon fault and several inferred faults. The low Bouguer gravity anomaly zone between Tongdong and Dongjeom is caused by Jurassic gneissose granite. A local high Bouguer gravity anomaly at 35 km along the survey line from Samcheog is interpreted by the effect of iron deposit of high density existed at subsurface. The thickness of Great Limestone Group varies from 0.5 km to 1.4 km, that of Pyeongan Supergroup from 0.4 km to 0.9 km, and that of Yangdeog Group is about 0.3 km. The thickness of Jurassic gneissose granite varies from 1.5 to 3.0 km.

Structural interpretation by using subsurface attitude of coal seam and outcrop patterns of folds and faults shows that wrench and thrust tectonics took place simultaneously in the study area. From the interference patterns of fold axes, three generations of folding are suggested: $F_1$ (NE-SW), $F_2$ (N-S), and $F_3$ (E-W). Differential displacement of rock mass from north to south yields to E-W fold and Osypcheon Fault. Geometry of subsurface coal seam show different patterns comparing to those of surface outcrop because of shallow-depth crustal shortening which took place post Cretaceous.

The purpose of this study is to verfify a more effecive techique for calculating geothermal gradient. this study examines 370 data of temperature-logging having been collected since 1985. The daya are divided into three different grades grades according to the type of temperature-depth plots: 204 data show typical linear gradient (Grade A); 126 data do not explicitily show the gradient becase of various external effects such as water flow (Grade B); and the rest 40 data do not show the gradient at all (Grade D). The new technique for calculating geothermal gradient is to be required to use Greade-B data more effctiviely. This new technique includes (1) calculating the independer depth of atmospheric temperature in the earth; (2) drawing a distribution map of subsurface tempurature by using the distribution map of subsurface temperature by using Grade-A data at the independent depth; and (3) recalculating geothermal gradient of Grade-B data by using the distrbution map of subsurface temperature, borehole depth, and bottom temperature of Grade-B data by using the distribution map of subsurface temperature, borehole depth, and bottom temperature of Grade-B data. As a result, 330 data-both Grade-A and Grade-B data--can be used to draw a distribution map of hot spradient. The map clearly distinguishes anomaly areas, and helps interpret their relations to the distribution of hot springs, geology, geological structures, and geophysical anomaly areas. These new results reveal that the average of geothermal in south Korea is 25.6$^{\circ}C$/km, when calculated to the Kriging method.

Accoustic impedances of subsurface layers are determined from the amplitudes of reflections from the layers. Densities of the layers can also be calculated from the accoustic impedances in case where velocities are known by velocity analysis of reflection data or any other method. The accoustic impedance is a good information for direct identification of the kind of some subsurface material like coal or oil.

A time-lapse microgravity survey on a newly widen road at Muan, where limestone cavities are developed, for monitoring the change of the subsurface density distribution before and after grouting. Microgravity monitoring is identified as a quick, easy and cost effective. But, it requires strict data acquisition and quality control due to the differences of conditions at measurements. The survey was carried out two times, that is, October 2005 and September 2006. The data were adjusted for reducing the effects due to the different condition of each survey. The processed data acquired in 2005 and 2006 were inverted into the subsurface density distributions. They show the change and development of density structure during the lapsed time, which implies the effects of grouting.

Nitrate contamination has received much attention at local as well as regional scales. The domestic situation is not out of exception, and it has been reported to be very serious, particularly within agricultural areas as a result of excessive usage of nitrogen fertilizers. Meanwhile, nitrate can be naturally attenuated by denitrification in subsurface environments. The denitrification occurs through biotic (biological) and abiotic processes, and numerous previous studies preferentially focused the former. However, abiotic denitrification seems to be significant in specific environments. For this reason, this study reviewed the previous studies that focused on abiotic denitrification processes. Firstly, the current status of nitrate contamination in global and domestic scales is presented, and then the effect of geological media on denitrification is discussed while emphasizing the significance of abiotic processes. Finally, the implications of the literature review are presented, along with future research directions that warrant further investigations. The results of previous studies demonstrated that several geological agents could play a vital role in reducing nitrate. Iron-containing minerals such as pyrite, green rust, magnetite, and dissolved ferrous ion are known to be powerful electron donors triggering denitrification. In particular, it was proven that the rate of denitrification by green rust was comparative to that of biological denitrification. The results indicate that abiotic denitrification should be taken into account for more accurate evaluation of denitrification in subsurface environments.

산불은 연소 과정에서 다양한 오염물질을 배출하여 심각한 환경 문제를 초래할 수 있다. 최근 지구 온난화와 기후변화의 영향으로 전 세계적으로 산불의 규모와 빈도가 증가하여 환경에 미치는 영향 역시 급증할 것으로 예상된다. 한국은 산불 발생이 빈번한 동해안 지역에 원자력 발전소가 위치하고 있어, 중대 사고에 대비하여 산불 환경에서 방사성 핵종의 거동 특성에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 본 리뷰 논문에서는 산불이 지하수 토양 환경에 가져오는 변화와 오염 특성을 검토하고, 산불로 변화된 지하수 토양 환경에서의 방사성 핵종 거동을 고찰하였다. 특히, 변화된 지중환경의 여러 특성 중 방사성 핵종의 거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인들을 고려하였으며, 보다 구체적인 메커니즘 이해를 위해 산불이 초래하는 지하수 토양 환경 변화와 오염에 대한 연구의 필요성을 기술하였다.

본 연구에서는 부산광역시 도심지역인 부산진구 양정동에서 동구 수정동까지의 주로 경부고속철도 터널 통과 예정지역 지반조사로부터 얻어진 시추공 자료, 지하수위 자료, 공내 유향 유속 자료 그리고 현장수리시험 분석 자료를 바탕으로 천부지층과 수리지질 특성의 관련성을 평가하였다. 지하수위(Y)와 지형고도(X)의 관계식은 Y=0.75X-7.00 이며, 상관계수는 0.75로서 비교적 높은 편이다. 매립층, 충적층, 풍화대의 두께와 지하수위의 상관성을 살펴본 결과, 풍화대의 두께(A)의 자연로그값과 지하수위(Y)의 상관성이 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, 그 회귀식은 Y=exp(9.974A)-14.155과 같다. 지하수 유향 유속 결과, 지하수 유향은 대체적으로 남쪽-남서쪽으로 향하고 있으며, 이는 지역적인 지하수위 분포와 대체로 일치한다.

Climate change has often resulted in severe droughts in a rice-farming season (i.e., April to June), and the large amount of water resources were needed to cope with droughts during the season. Therefore, the subsurface dam, which is able to store groundwater resources in the alluvium aquifer, has been considered to be an alternative for securing more groundwater resources. In this study, suitable sites assessment criteria for agricultural subsurface dam using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were established for adequate drought management. Moreover, the criteria were applied to the existing five agricultural subsurface dams to verify their applicability of groundwater supply for each subsurface dam. The assessment criteria were divided into three major categories (geology, hydrology and business condition) and classified to 12 individual sub-categories with weighting. From the assessment, Ian subsurface dam and Wooil subsurface dam were identified as the best and the worst suitable site, respectively, and this result was in accordance with the average amount of annual groundwater supply by each subsurface dam during the period of 2011-2017.
