전 지구적 기온상승으로 인하여 해수면 상승 및 자연생태계가 파괴되고 있다. 이에 Geo 관련 연구자들은 지구 온난화, 이산화탄소 배출량, 미세먼지 확산 등의 방대한 지구환경정보를 공유 및 교환하고 활발한 지식 교류를 하기 위한 포털 환경이 요구되고 있다. 국외 여러 환경단체들은 이러한 포털 환경구축을 통해 지구 환경정보를 연구하고 있다. 한국에서도 지구온난화 영향분석, 미세먼지 확산분석, 이산화탄소 배출량 분석 지상 식생변화 모니터링 등의 분야에서 위성 관측 영상 및 지구환경자료를 이용한 서비스가 더욱 절실하다. e-Science 환경 구축의 대표 응용 분야 중의 하나로 발전, 확산시킬 필요성 때문에 정확하고 방대한 지식정보의 신속한 처리 및 서비스를 할 수 있는 GeoGrid 기반 기술 개발 방법과 환경 구축 방법에 대해 연구하였다.

There are lots of variations on speed, acceleration and engine power during vehicle driving. It is well known that Green House Gas emissions by these dynamic driving properties are not precisely estimated by the average speed based emission estimation model which has been currently used in Korea. MOVES are selected as an appropriate transferable model among Micro-level emission estimation models. Based on MOVES, a novel emission estimation model can be used in Korea is developed. In this model, MOVES concept of emission estimation method and the MOVES method of estimating the Micro-level emission rate map is adopted. The results from the proposed model were compared with those from the average speed based emission model. The comparison results show the estimated base emission maps are good to be applied in Korea, but needed to be adjusted to consider the vehicle size differences between the two countries. Therefore, the factors for calibrating vehicle size difference were calculated and applied to acquired the micro-level emission maps for the Korean standard vehicle types.

Greenhouse gas emission from agricultural land is recognized as an important factor influencing climatic change. In this study, the national $CO_2$ emission was estimated for paddy soils, using soil GHG emission model (DNDC) with $1km^2$ scale. To evaluate the applicability of the model in Korea, verification was carried out based on field measurement data using a closed chamber. The total national $CO_2$ emission in 2015 was estimated at $5,314kt\;CO_2-eq$, with the emission per unit area ranging from $2.2{\sim}10.0t\;CO_2-eq\;ha^{-1}$. Geographically, the emission of Jeju province was particularly high, and the emission from the southern region was generally high. The result of the model verification analysis with the field data collected in this study (n=16) indicates that the relation between the field measurement and the model prediction was statistically similar (RMSE=22.2, ME=0.28, and $r^2=0.53$). More field measurements under various climate conditions, and subsequent model verification with extended data sets, are further required.

The global warming caused by GHG has emerged as a global environmental problem. For this reason the continued efforts to reduce GHG emission by international cooperation and each country are in progress. This study was performed for a successful accomplishment of Korea's ETS aims in 2015, that is to reduce GHG emission, maintain competitiveness of the domestic industries and to reinforce competitiveness of the environmental management of domestic companies through comparing analysis research of major overseas ETSs with main features of Korea's ETS and the analysis of semiconductor industry. In this study, the cases of already being implemented ETS countries such as the European Union, the United States and New Zealand etc. have been investigated by comparing to Korea's ETS. We also suggested the detailed political proposals to stabilize the introduction of Korea's ETS at the enterprise level.

In this study, we analyzed the long-term distribution patterns of $CH_4$ determined from the Moo-Ahn (MAN) observatory in relation with those derived from the world major background monitoring sites. Comparison of the data were made using those data sets collected for the period between Aug. 1995 to Dec. 1991. The mean $CH_4$ concentration of MAN observatory was measured to be 1898${\pm}$85.3 ppb, recording the highest concentration of all the monitoring sites. When the concentration of $CH_4$ for different stations was compared over latitudinal scale, its concentration appeared to increase systematically as a function of latitude with an exception of MAN (and the other Korean monitoring site at Tae Ahn). Moreover, such phenomenon was more distinctive in Northern than Southern Hemisphere. According to the analysis of the monthly distribution patterns of $CH_4$ at MAN observatory, its concentration level began to increase from the months of February/March and peaked during August. In addition, when the level of oscillation in monthly concentrations (between the maximum and minimum values) was checked, differences were significant between MAN and other monitoring stations. If the rate of concentration change was checked using the data sets collected for this limited time period in terms of linear regression analysis, results for MAN showed the highest annual increasing rate of 16.5 ppb. It is hence suggested that the largest variability in the $CH_4$ distribution patterns at MAN observatory may be reflected by the high irregularity in its source/sink processes.

최근 국외 여러 연구에서 지역 및 종관규모의 기류움직임과 연계된 오염물질 수송이 풍하측 도시 또는 배경지역의 오존농도 상승에 큰 영향을 미침을 밝히고 있다 (Lam et al, 2001; Chan and Chan, 2000). 한반도 역시 중국과 동아시아 주요 국가의 빠른 경제성장으로 인해 대기질의 변화에 중요한 요인으로 장거리 수송의 영향을 고려하지 않을 수 없다. 특히 중국의 북경을 중심으로 한 황해연안에서 배출되는 다량의 오염물질은 (Streets and Waldhoff, 2000) 편서풍대의 풍하측에 위치해 있는 우리나라에 직접적으로 영향을 주며, 초근 심각한 대기환경문제로 부각되고 있는 오존농도 상승에도 기여하게 된다.

"녹색건축 인증제도"는 건축물의 자재생산단계, 설계, 건설, 유지 관리, 폐기에 걸쳐 건축물의 전 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 에너지와 자원의 사용 및 오염물질 배출과 같은 환경 부담을 줄이고, 쾌적한 환경을 조성하기 위한 목적으로 건축물의 친환경성을 평가하여 인증하는 제도이다. 우리나라는 2002년부터 제도를 운영해오고 있지만 LCA를 기반으로 한 평가기준이 미비하고, 인증대상 확대에 따른 수요를 대처하기 어려운 구조이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 G-SEED와 국외 인증제도의 비교분석을 통해 문제점을 도출하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 IoT 환경에서의 G-SEED : EB 시스템 설계를 목적으로 하였다.

다양한 신재생 에너지 발전 중에서 수력발전은 풍력발전과 더불어 탄소배출이 가장 적은 에너지 발전 중 하나이며, 정부의 "2050 탄소중립" 발표에 따라 근래 수력발전에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 국내의 지리적 특성상 수력발전의 규모가 국외에 비해 소규모이며, 대규모 수력발전의 경우에도 설치가능지역이 고갈되어 다수의 소규모 수력 발전소 설치라는 방향성이 불가피한 현실이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 이용하여 소규모 수력발전에 가장 많이 사용되는 콘크리트 댐 형상에 대한 구조해석을 실시하고 정수압 하에서 각 콘크리트 댐의 변형 거동 및 안정성을 분석하였다.

The need for seawater desalination is increasing in terms of securing various water resources, but few studies are available as for the environmental impact of hypersaline concentrated water (brine) discharged from desalination plants. Domestic studies are concentrated mainly on toxicity evaluation that phytoplankton, zooplankton larvae and green algae (Ulva pertusa) are negatively affected by concentrated water. The mortality of Paralichthys olivaceus showed a linear relationship with increasing salinity, and Oryzias latipes died 100% at concentrations above 60 psu. Foreign studies included monitoring cases as well as toxicity evaluations. The number of species decreased around the area where the concentrated water discharged. The hypersaline concentrated water affects the pelagic and benthic organisms. However, the fishes escaped when exposed to salinity, and the pelagic and benthic organisms resistant to salinity survived the hypersaline environment. The salinity limit and distance from the outlet was presented as the regulatory standard for bine discharge. There were differences in regulatory standards among country and seawater desalination plants, and these regulatory standards have been strengthened recently. In particular, California Water Boards were revised to ensure that the maximum daily salinity concentration does not exceed 2 psu above the ambient salinity level within 100 m of the outlet.

The market trends of automatic meter reading associated with smart water meters were investigated. Also, recent developments and field applications of key technology for automatic meter reading associated with smart water meters were analyzed. Smart water meters have been manufactured mostly in United States and Europe and have been expanded their business to Asia. Integrated water management system combining with the additional functions such as real-time consumption metering, cost notification, water conservation, leak detection, water quality monitoring, and flow control have been operated in automatic meter reading. Both water quality and quantity data measured from smart water meters and sensors were transferred to data concentration units through neighborhood area network, and then were transferred to integrated server through wide area network. The data transfer methods were determined by comprehensively considering urban scale, density of smart water meters, power supply and network topologies. Common data collection methods such as fixed network to data concentation units, vehicles drive by, people walk by, and drone fly by have been applied. The automatic meter reading associated with smart water meters are spread throughout the world, and both water and energy savings result in saving the money and reducing the greenhouse gases emission.
