초록

호수나 습지 퇴적물을 대상으로 동위원소분석을 실시하여 얻은 결과들은, 다양한 해석들을 통해 고기후를 복원하는데 일조할 수 있다. 호소퇴적물의 경우 보통 유기 무기 탄산염 등을 추출하여 산소 탄소 동위원소 분석을 실시하게 된다. 산소동위원소 분석은 과거의 기온과 습도 변화를 정량적 정성적으로 복원하는데 이용되며, 탄소동위원소 분석결과는 호수의 주위환경 변화나 인간의 영향 등을 파악하는데 유용하다. 그리고 고산습지의 피트 층에 존재하는 반부패상태의 물이끼는 탄소동위원소분석의 좋은 시료이며 기온, 대기 중 이산화탄소압 등 고기후 정보를 제공해준다. 해안의 염습지나 염하구 등의 습지지역에서는 육상기원의 유기물과 해상기원의 유기물이 서로 탄소동위원소비율값에서 차이를 보인다는 점을 이용하여 해수면 상승에 관한 연구를 할 수 있다. 또한 탄소동위원소비율이 상이한 C4 식물과 C3 식물이 염도에 따라 분포가 변한다는 점을 이용하여 몬순과 관련된 연구를 할 수도 있다. 우리나라의 경우 아직까지 동위원소분석방법을 이용한 고환경 연구들이 활성화되어있지 않은 상태이며, 이는 연구방법에 대한 관심 부족과 국내에서는 적절한 시료 채취에 어려움이 존재한다는 점에 기인한다. 제주도의 하논, 무제치늪이나 용늪 같은 고산습지, 그리고 해안의 염습지 등에서 얻은 퇴적코어들에 동위원소 분석을 시행하면, 우리나라 고환경 연구에 도움이 되는 흥미로운 결과가 산출될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Stable isotope analyses on lake or wetland sediments are useful to reconstruct paleoclimate. Organic and inorganic carbonates obtained from lake sediment are isotopically analyzed to get oxygen and carbon isotopic ratios. Oxygen isotope ratios can be used to quantitatively and qualitatively reconstruct paleo-temperature or humidity while carbon isotope ratios be used to reveal environmental changes around the lake or human impacts on the area. Peat mosses in peat bogs are nice samples for the carbon isotope analysis, which derives paleo-temperature and paleo-atmospheric $CO_2$ changes. In coastal area, the reconstruction of past sea-level is possible because terrestrial originated organic matter is carbon isotopically different from marine originated organic matter. Also, scientists can do research on Asian Monsoon based on the fact that $\delta^{13}C$ of C3 plants and C4 plants are consistently different each other and that they are distributed differently with respect to salinity. In Korea, paleoenvironmental studies using stable isotopes are not popular yet because of low academic interests on the methodology and difficulties of obtaining proper sediment samples. Interesting results can be produced to answer paleoenvironmental questions of Korea if scientists isotopically analyze sediment cores from a paleo-lake such as Hanon in Jeju island, peat bogs such as Mujechi-Neup and Yong-Neup, and coastal wetlands.
