공학지질도(Engineering geology map)는 토목공사의 예비단계에서 필요한 지질자료를 도면에 표시하여 지질공학 계획(Engineering geological plan)의 수립과 토목설계 정보를 제공 위하여 작성하는 특수지질도이다. (Report by the geological society engineering group working party, 1972). 공학지질도에는 지질공학, 토목 또는 건축 기술자들이 필요로 하는 지질정보를 수록하기 때문에 기존의 지질도(Geological map)와는 다르게 작성한다. 즉, 지질도는 암석의 광물조성, 석기 (texture), 층서, 지질구조 등의 지질학적 분석을 통하여 지각의 생성 메카니즘과 지구의 역사를 규명하는 것이 궁극적 작성 목표이다. 따라서 지질도에는 공학기술자들이 필요로 하는 암석과 토층의 물리적/공학적 특성이나 지하수에 대한 정량적 정보 등이 수록되지 않을 뿐 아니라 공학기술자들에게 필요한 인간 생활권 부분인 지표와 천부의 지질학적 특성이 제외되는 경우가 많다.

We should treat carefully the one related to human rights among a large number of decision-making in our daily lives. As it is necessary to obtain physical evidences in the process of criminal investigation for solving a certain crime based on the principle of evidence, it leads to an increase in demand for forensic science and forensic geology. Forensic geology could be regarded as a fusion discipline of geology and forensic investigation and it is principally concerned to the study on the connection of a suspect and a crime scene with soil evidence which could be experimented using geological data and methods. So these results could be used as valuable information in a court. After its academic foundation has been builded since the last 1970s, its research objects have been expanded from soil evidence like rocks, minerals, soils, sediments to sociocultural, political, military and medical objects like ancient relics, mines, corpses. Its role is expanded from the simple finding of a particular location to the examination of archaeological theories and historical facts, the testimony of the cause of environmental pollution and the chronic demonstration of geological distribution of plants and anthropological origination. And these bring this discipline promptly to accept developed geological methodologies and to satisfy various forensic geological needs. Specialized forensic investigation institutes work actively for the R&D activities of forensic geology. In Korea, national institute of scientific investigation works a small part of forensic geological activities in total activities of forensic investigation. In conclusion, we concern to the importance of systematic discussion of building in proper position of forensic geology through its R&D methods, application cases of its performance and etc. based on geological characteristics in our country by a specialized geoscience institute.

Volcano hazard mapping became a focus of scientific inquiry in the 1960s. Dwight Crandell and Don Mullineaux pioneered the geologic history approach with the concept of the past is the key to the future, to hazard mapping. The 1978 publication of the Mount St. Helens hazards assessment and forecast of an eruption in the near future, followed by the large eruption in 1980 demonstrated the utility of volcano hazards assessments and triggered huge growth in this area of volcano science. Numerical models of hazardous processes began to be developed and used for identifying hazardous areas in 1980s and have proliferated since the late 1990s. Model outputs are most useful and accurate when they are constrained by geological knowledge of the volcano. Volcanic Hazard maps can be broadly categorized into those that portray long-term unconditional volcanic hazards-maps showing all areas with some degree of hazard and those that are developed during an unrest or eruption crisis and take into account current monitoring, observation, and forecast information.

한반도 주요 지체구조구에 대한 최대지진을 지진 및 지질자료를 이용하여 여러 가지 방법으로 결정하였다. 한반도에서 발생한 가장 큰 지진은 MMI IX - X의 범위에 걸치며 이는 M= 7.0 - 7.7 에 해당한다. Gumbel의 극대치 제3분포를 이용하면 지체구조구별 최대지진은 M = 7.1 - 7.9의 범위에 놓이고, 응력방출 양상을 분석하면 M = 6.7 - 7.7 가 도출된다. 단층길이와 규모와의 상관관계에서 최대지진은 M = 7.4 - 7.6 에 놓인다. 한반도의 주요 지체구조구 사이에 최대지진의 현격한 차이를 나타내는 지진 및 지질학적 증거는 없다. 역사지진의 평가에서 강진들은 대략 1 계급( M=0.7) 과대 평가되는 경향이 있으므로, 한반도의 최대지진은 대략 M = 7.0으로 추정된다.

The seismicity of the Korean Peninsula shows a very irregular pattern of strain release typical of the intraplate seismicity. The Korean Peninsula may be divided into several tectonic provinces of differing tectonics. In this analysis, seismicity parameters for each tectonic province are evaluated from historical as well as instrumental earthquake data of the Korean Peninsula to examine the differences in seismic characteristics among tectonic provinces. Statistical analysis of the earthquake data made of incomplete data before the Choseon Dynasty and complete data afterwards reveals that there exist no significant differences in seismic characteristics between the tectonic provinces. It turns out the b-value in the intensity-frequency relation for the whole peninsula is about 0.6 and the maximum earthquake is about MMI X. The results of this study may be used in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of the Korean Peninsula and in estimating the design earthquake in earthquake engineering.

The Lankawi archipelago is located in 30 km western offshore near the Thailand-Malaysia border in west coast of the Malay Peninsula and consists of 99 (+5) tropical islands, covering an area of about $479km^2$. Together with biodiversity in flora and fauna, the Lankawi archipelago displays also geodiversity that includes rock diversity, landform diversity, and fossil diversity. These biodiversity and geodiversity have led to the Lankawi islands as a newly emerging hub for ecotourism in Southeast Asia. As a result, the Lankawi islands have been designated the first Global Geopark in Southeast Asia by UNESCO since July 1st, 2007. The geodiversity of Lankawi Geopark today is a result of a very long depositional history under the various sedimentological regimes and paleoenvironments during the Paleozoic, followed by tectonic and magmatic activities until the early Mesozoic, and finally by surface processes that etched to the present beautiful landscape. Paleozoic strata exposed in the Lankawi Geopark are subdivided into four formations that include the Machinchang (Cambrian), Setul (Ordovician to Early Devonian), Singa (Late Devonian to Carboniferous), and Chuping (Permian) formations in ascending order. These strata are younging to the east, but they are truncated by the Kisap Thrust in the eastern part of the islands. Top-to-the-westward transportation of the Kisap Thrust has brought the older Setul Formation (and possibly Machinchang Formation) from the east to overlay the younger Chuping and Singa formations in the central axis of the Lankawi islands. Triassic Gunung Raya Granite intruded into these sedimentary strata, and turned them partially into various types of contact metamorphic rocks that locally contain tin mineral deposits. Since Triassic, not much geologic records are known for the Lankawi islands. Tropical weathering upon rocks of the Lankawi islands might have taken place since the Early Jurassic and continues until the present. This weathering process played a very important role in producing beautiful landscapes of the Lankawi islands today.

지진예측 분야는 규준에 의한 방법이 일반 구조물에 적용하기에 무난하며, 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 방법은 확정론적 방법과 시간독립 확률론적 방법이라 하겠다. 물론 시간종속 확률론적 방법과 베이지만 방법이 연구되고 있지만, 아직은 실무에서는 사용되고 있지 않는 실정이다. 지진예측 분야에서는 아직도 많은 불확실성이 내재하며, 그 불확실성은 전문가의 판단에 의하여 서로 다른 안전폭을 결정함으로써 또는 안전율을 중복되게 적용함으로써 필연적으로 서로 다른 결과를 구하게 된다. 심지어 미국 동부의 경우 전문가에 따라 지반가속도가 2배 이상 차이가 나기도 하며, 그 전문가들이 모두 그 분야에서 능력을 인정받고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라의 경우도 기록기에 의한 자료 및 지질학적 연구가 미흡하고 역사기록도 한정되어 있는 실정이나, 원자력발전소의 위험성과 파급효과를 고려할 때 우리나라 특성에 맞는 지진예측 방법이 좀 더 연구되어야 할 것이다.

연안과 천해의 저질은 그 상층 해수의 변화에 영향을 받으며, 또한 반대로 상층의 수질을 변화시키기도 한다. 저질은 지질학적 기원을 갖는 기부위에 상층의 물에서 가라앉는 부유현탁물질과 수중생물의 배설물, 생물의 사체 등의 유기질이 층을 이루면서 형성된다. 저질은 화학적, 생물적 변화나 물의 유동에 의한 영향을 받지만 변화속도가 비교적 작고, 상층 수질의 변화 결과를 누적적으로 받기 때문에 수질변화의 평균적 이력(履歷)을 간직하며, 수역의 오염의 진행경향이나 그 속도에 대해서 수질만으로는 알 수 없는 장기간의 영향에 대한 적산적(積算的)관점에서의 정보를 보유하고 있다. 이 조사해역은 굴을 비롯한 패류 양식장이 밀집분포하고 있는 해역이며, 진해만에서 수하식 양식장의 분포비중이 가장 큰 해역으로서 양식의 역사도 30년이 넘는다. 이 해역은 외해와의 해수교류가 원활하지 못하여 양식생물의 배설물과 양식장의 탈락물이 이 육지로부터 유입되는 오염부하물질과 더불어 그대로 해저에 퇴적되고 있는 곳이라고 할 수 있다. 이 연구는 양식장 저질의 유기오염의 수준을 평가하여 양식장 및 연안해역의 관리를 위한 자료로 제공하고자 하였다.

During the last several years, the geographic information system(GIS) technology has emerged as a very effective tool for analyzing complicated groundwater system Linking GIS to spatially distributed hydrogeological data and groundwater models offers many advantages in the analysis of urban groundwater system. This paper describes the urban hydrogeological application of GIS in Seoul area. This study constructs an urban hydrogeological database via pre- and post-processing of various types of urban hydrogeological data, such as groundwater-level fluctuation, topogaphic data, water chemistry data, subway pimping station data, tidal effect of the Han River, and hydrogeological parameters. A hydrogeological model has been designed to enable importing data from the database and providing the model output for the repetitive manipulation and display in GIS.
