  • In this study, teaching-learning activities were developed based on computational thinking (CT) in high school Earth Science I Solid Earth domain. And their effects and implications were examined. To this end, 8 sessions unplugged activities based on problem solving were developed, and applied it to 65 high school students. As a results, significant changes have been were confirmed in both student's perception about CT and CT. After that, based on student's responses to self-reports and interview, the affecting factors for perception about CT and CT in the earth science problem solving process were investigated. In addition, implication that should be considered in terms of design and progress of teaching-learning based on CT were derived. Based on these results, the necessity and operation of teaching-learning activities was suggested for developing CT through various subjects including earth science.

  • Land Surface Temperature (LST) is the radiological surface temperature which observed by satellite. It is very important factor to estimate condition of the Earth such as Global warming and Heat island. For these reasons, many countries operate their own satellite to observe the Earth condition. South Korea has many landcovers such as forest, crop land, urban. Therefore, if we want to retrieve accurate LST, we would use high-resolution satellite data. In this study, we made LSTs with 4 LST retrieval algorithms which are used widely with Landsat-8 data which has 30 m spatial resolution. We retrieved LST using equations of Price, Becker et al. Prata, Coll et al. and they showed very similar spatial distribution. We validated 4 LSTs with Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST data to find the most suitable algorithm. As a result, every LST shows 2.160 ~ 3.387 K of RMSE. And LST by Prata algorithm show the lowest RMSE than others. With this validation result, we choose LST by Prata algorithm as the most suitable LST to South Korea.

  • Rare earth metals have been made from rare earth compounds which were prepared from rare earth ore concentrates through successive processes such as leaching(i.e. extraction of rare earth elements to liquid media), separation, purification, precipitation. Here, process for treating monazite and bastnasite ore concentrates were briefly reviewed, and metallothermic reduction and fused salt electrolysis methods were introduced as the extraction technologies for rare earth metals.
