Many studies on climate change and its impacts use a single climate scenario. However, one climate scenario may not accurately predict the potential impacts of climate change. We estimated temperature and precipitation changes by 2070 using 17 of the CMIP5 Global Climate Models (GCMs) and two emission scenarios for three spatial domains: the Asian continent, six East Asia countries, and South Korea. For South Korea, the range of increased minimum temperature was lower than for the ranges of the larger regions, but the range of projected future precipitation was higher. The range of increased minimum temperatures was between $1.3^{\circ}C$ and $5.2^{\circ}C$, and the change in precipitation ranged from - 42.4 mm (- 3.2%) and + 389.8 mm (+ 29.6%) for South Korea. The range of increased minimum temperatures was between $2.3^{\circ}C$ and $8.5^{\circ}C$ for East Asia countries and was between $2.1^{\circ}C$ and $7.4^{\circ}C$ for the Asian continent, and the change in precipitation ranged from 28.8 mm (+ 6.3%) and 156.8 mm (+ 34.3%) for East Asia countries and from 32.4 mm (+ 5.5%) and 126.2 mm (+ 21.3%) for the Asian continent. We suggest climate change studies in South Korea should not use a single GCM or only an ensemble climate model's output and we recommend to use GFDL-CM3 and INMCM4 GCMs to bracket projected change for use in other national climate change studies to represent the range of projected future climate conditions.

A recent discovery of drywood termites (Cryptotermes domesticus) in a residential facility in Seoul has raised significant concern. This exotic insect species, which can damage timber and wooden buildings, necessitates an immediate investigation of potential infestation. In this study, we assessed the climatic suitability for this termite species using a species distribution modeling approach. Global distribution data and bioclimatic variables were compiled from published sources, and predictive models for climatic suitability were developed using four modeling algorithms. An ensemble prediction was made based on the mean occurrence probability derived from the individual models. The final model suggested that this species could potentially establish itself in tropical coastal regions. While the climatic suitability in South Korea was generally found to be low, a careful investigation is still warranted due to the potential risk of colonization and establishment of this species.

기후 변화로 인한 극한사상의 크기와 빈도 변화를 예측하는 것은 수공 인프라 설계에 있어 주된 관심사 중 하나이다. 보통 극한사상에 대한 강도, 빈도, 지속시간에 대한 정보가 필요하며, 이는 일반적으로 IDF(Intensity-Duration-Frequency) 곡선으로부터 추출된다. 최근 CMIP(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) 6단계에서 새로운 이산화탄소 배출 시나리오와 업데이트된 기후모델을 이용하여 미래의 기후에 대한 예측 시계열을 발표했으므로, 미래 기후 변화 시나리오를 기반으로 IDF 곡선을 새로 추정하고 미래 기간의 변화를 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 40개 지역에 대해 일단위 자료를 시단위로 축소(downscaling)한 후, 확률론적 일기생성기(stochastic weather generator)를 이용하여 30년 시단위 시계열을 100개의 앙상블로 생성하였다. 생성된 시계열로부터 연최대강수량 시계열을 재구성하여 GEV 분포와 gumbel 분포에 적용하였다. 적합도 검정(Anderson-Darling(AD) 검정 및 Kolmogorov-Smirnov(KS) 검정)을 수행하였으며, 과거 자료를 기반으로 생성된 IDF 곡선과 비교 검증하였다. CMIP5의 기후변화 자료를 사용한 결과와 CMIP6 기후변화의 결과를 비교하였으며, 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 향후 강우 강도는 증가할 것이며 강우 강도의 증가는 말기에 현저하게 관찰될 것이다. (2) 시간별 강우 강도의 미래 변화가 일단위 강우 강도보다 더 크다. (3) 강우 강도의 불확실성을 정량화하기 위해 앙상블을 사용해야 한다. (4) 강우 강도의 미래 변화에 대한 공간적인 경향이 확인된다. 시단위 시계열 앙상블을 생성하여 추정된 IDF 곡선에 대한 정보는 기후 변화의 영향을 평가하고 적절한 적응 및 대응 전략을 개발하는 데 도움이 될 것이다.

미래 대기 이산화탄소 농도가 증가함에 따라 강수 등 기후의 변화하고, 이는 유출량을 포함한 수문 순환 뿐 아니라 지면 식생 생장에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미래 CO2 증가에 따른 식생의 변화와 이로 인한 지표 유출량의 변화에 대해 이해하고자 한다. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6차 평가보고서에서 제시한 표준 온실가스 경로 중 탄소 모듈이 포함된 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 biogeochemistry (CMIP6-BGC) 모델과 탄소 모듈이 포함안된 CMIP6 모델 결과를 활용하였다. 공통 사회경제경로 시나리오(Shared Socio-economic Pathway; SSP) 중 고탄소 시나리오인 SSP585에 따른 모델 결과물을 활용하였다. 표면 유출량 자료에 과거 기간 임계수준 방법을 (Threshold Level Method) 적용하여 동아시아 지역 극한 건조 및 습윤 상태의 빈도와 강도를 CMIP6-BGC와 CMIP6에 대해 평가하였다. CMIP6-BGC 경우, 건조 및 습윤 상태의 빈도는 각각 6.17%, 5.03% , CMIP6 경우 각각 9.29%, 6.70% 으로 예측되어, CMIP6-BGC가 CMIP6 보다 극한 상태를 과소평가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 잎 면적 지수(Leaf Area Index; LAI), 증산량 등의 변수를 분석하여, 기 도출된 CMIP6-BGC와 CMIP6 간의 극한 건조 및 습윤 상태 예측의 차이가 발생한 메카니즘을 이해하고자 하였다.

This study examined stratigraphic research containing extreme climate event during Quaternary period in Saban-ri, Haeri-myeon, Gochang by constructing 3D topographic model and 3D geological model. As a result of 3D topographic model and subsurface geological model, the geology of study area accumulated bedrock, Pleistocene series, and Holocene series chronologically. Most of the study area consist of bedrock on basement and Holocene series on upper layer. Additionally, Pleistocene series are presented as lens-shaped deposit on eastern part, and wedge-shaped deposit on northeastern part. Holocene layers consist of sand and clay-silt layer deposited sequentially where implies fluvial deposits on transgression environment. Distinctively, Pleistocene clayey silt layer and Holocene sand layer on eastern are observed as pond shape deposits that are considered as storm-related deposits originated from overwash system caused by extreme paleoclimate.

Predicting possible distributed area of Schisandra chinensis which has long term cultivation period among non-timber forest products is needed to be studied to deal with climate change. Hence, distribution of Schisandra chinensis in the 2050s and 2070s was predicted under two scenario, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, with ensemble of 5 climate models used in IPCC AR5. According to estimation using RCP 4.5, distribution of Schisandra chinensis in 2050s appeared to decrease 43% of current area and appeared to decrease 57% in 2070s respectively. Moreover, According to estimation using RCP 8.5, distribution of Schisandra chinensis in 2050s appeared to decrease 55% of current area and appeared to decrease 85% in 2070s. As a final outcome, Schisandra chinensis was estimated to extinct in the future except Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do when analyzing change between current distributed area and future distributed area. As a result, those areas were classified as vulnerable areas to climate change. Therefore, Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do were thought to be ideal for growing Schisandra chinensis. The result from this study can be used to provide basic information for selecting proper area of Schisandra chinensis considering climate change effect.

Under climate change, it is likely that the suitable area for forage crop cultivation would change in Korea. The potential cultivation areas for italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.), which has been considered one of an important forage crop in Korea, were identified using the EcoCrop model. To minimize the uncertainty associated with future projection under climate change, an ensemble approach was attempted using five climate change scenarios as inputs to the EcoCrop model. Our results indicated that most districts had relatively high suitability, e.g., >80, for italian ryegrass in South Korea. Still, suitability of the crop was considerably low in mountainous areas because it was assumed that a given variety of italian ryegrass had limited cold tolerance. It was predicted that suitability of italian ryegrass would increase until 2050s but decrease in 2080s in a relatively large number of regions due to high temperature. In North Korea, suitability of italian ryegrass was considerably low, e.g., 28 on average. Under climate change, however, it was projected that suitability of italian ryegrass would increase until 2080s. For example, suitability of italian ryegrass was more than 80 in 10 districts out of 14 by 2080s. Because cold tolerance of italian ryegrass varieties has been improved, it would be preferable to optimize parameters of the EcoCrop model for those varieties. In addition, it would be possible to grow italian ryegrass as the second crop following rice in Korea in the future. Thus, it merits further study to identify suitable areas for italian ryegrass cultivation after rice using new varieties of italian ryegrass.

국내·외로 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) 모델은 유역 단위에서 유출 및 수질을 예측하는데 활용되고 있다. 하지만 SWAT 모델의 결과물은 데이터 테이블 형식으로만 이루어져 있기 때문에 모델 사용자가 유역 내 하천별 수문 모의 결과물을 직관적으로 확인하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 최근 다양한 분야에서 3D 가상환경을 구축하는데 디지털 트윈 기술의 활용성이 증가하고 있다. 디지털 트윈 기술은 현실의 공간을 가상환경으로 구축해 실시간 현실의 상황을 파악하여, 의사결정 지원을 제공한다는 장점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 디지털 트윈 기술과 SWAT 모델을 연계하여, 모델의 결과값을 가상환경 3D 지도인 CESIUM에 실시간으로 표출할 수 있는 디지털 트윈 기반 SWAT 모델 수문 모의 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 3D 지형에 SWAT 모델을 통해 모의 된 하천의 수위 및 SS에 대한 표출이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 기후나 유역환경에 따른 유역 내 수문 변화를 시·공간적으로 파악할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 향후 본 연구에서 개발된 디지털 트윈 기반 SWAT 모델 수문 모의 시스템은 홍수 및 가뭄과 같은 재해에 대응할 수 있는 유역 및 하천관리 대책을 효율적으로 수립하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The research was carried out in order to find climate factors which determine the distribution of Machilus thunbergii, and the potential habitats under the current climate and three climate change scenario by using classification tree (CT) model. Four climate factors; the minimum temperature of the coldest month (TMC), the warmth index (WI), summer precipitation (PRS), and winter precipition (PRW) : were used as independent variables for the model. The model of distribution for Machilus thunbergii (Mth-model) constructed by CT analysis showed that minimum temperature of the coldest month (TMC) is a major climate factor in determining the distribution of M. thunbergii. The area above the $-3.3^{\circ}C$ of TMC revealed high occurrence probability of the M. thunbergii. Potential habitats was predicted $9,326km^2$ under the current climate and $61,074{\sim}67,402km^2$(South Korea: $58,419{\sim}61,137km^2$, North Korea: $2,655{\sim}6,542km^2$) under the three climate change scenarios (CCCMA-A2, CSIRO-A2, HADCM3-A2). The Potential habitats was to predicted increase by 51~56%(South Korea: 49~51%, North Korea: 2~5%) under the three climate change scenarios. The potential expand of M. thunbergii habitats has been expected that it is competitive with warm-temperate deciduous broadleaf forest. M. thunbergii is evaluated as the indicator of climate change in Korea and it is necessary for M. thunbergii to monitor of potential habitats.

The purpose of this study is to build a new dataset of spatially interpolated climate data of South Korea by performing various geo-statistical interpolation techniques for comparison with the LDAPS grid data of KMA. Among 595 observation data in 2017, 80 % of the total points and remaining 117 points were used for spatial mapping and quantification,respectively. IDW, cokriging, and kriging were performed via the ArcGIS10.3.1 software and Python3.6.4, and each result was then divided into three clusters and four watersheds for statistical verification. As a result, cokriging produced the most suitable grid climate data for instantaneous temperature. For 1-hr accumulated precipitation, IDW was most suitable for expressing local rainfall effects.
