With the development of semantic web technologies in information retrieval area, the necessity for thesaurus is recently increasing along with internet lexicons. A thesaurus is the combination of classification and a lexicon, and is the topic map of knowledge structure expressing relations among concepts(terms) subject to human knowledge activities such as learning and research using formally organized and controlled index terms for clarifying the context of superordinate and subordinate concepts. However, although thesaurus are regarded as essential tools for controlling and standardizing terms and searching and processing information efficiently, we do not have a Korean thesaurus for geology. To build a thesaurus, we need standardized and well-defined guidelines. The standardized guidelines enable efficient information management and help information users use correct information easily and conveniently. The present study purposed to build a thesaurus system with terms used in geology. For this, First, we surveyed related works for standardizing geological terms in Korea and other countries. Second, we defined geological topics in 15 areas and prepared a classification system(draft) for each topic. Third, based on the geological thesaurus classification system, we created the specification of geological thesaurus. Lastly, we designed and implemented an internet-based geological thesaurus system using the specification.

Remarkable scientific and technological achievements are mainly shown in the 'super-convergence' or 'convergence of convergence' among cross- disciplinary fields, and advanced countries are promoting the 'high-risk, high-return research' ecosystem. Google LLC is carrying out numerous new challenges in terms of a non-failure perspective. Innovative research by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has produced such breakthroughs as the Internet, GPS, semiconductors, the computer mouse, autonomous vehicles, and drones. China is pioneering a 'Moon Village' and planning the world's largest nuclear fusion energy and ultra-large particle accelerator project. Japan has also launched 'the moonshot technology development research system' to promote disruptive innovation. In Korea, the government is preparing a new research program to tackle the global scientific challenges. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the reasonable geoscientific challenges to be addressed and to conduct a preliminary study on these topics. For this purpose, it is necessary to conduct long-term creative research projects centered on young researchers, select outstanding principal investigators, extract innovative topics without prior research or reference, simplify research proposal procedures, innovate the selection solely based on key ideas, and evaluate results by collective intelligence in the form of conferences.

GIS has been regarded as one of important tools or methodologies for various geoscience applications. Recently, spatial data integration schemes for site-specific or field-specific thematic mapping are newly developed and utilized. However, these kinds of approaches are somewhat insufficient quantitative assessment of integrated layers towards known targets in-detailed . Moreover, GIS analysis scheme is rarely extended to scientific approaches. In this study, simple approach of Multi-Buffer Zone Analysis , related to GIS analystical aspect, is addressed and an actual application for predicting or favorable mapping of mineral occurrences, one of GIS-based geoscientific approaches, is performed, As for geo-processing in GIS itself, this scheme can be regarded as extension or adaptiation of cell-based buffering or proximity analysis to geoscientific data interpretation. This study is based on rationale that surface geological pattern around primitives such as a point, a line, or a polygon in GIS, representing significant geological features, can be efficiently utilized to delineate complex geological behaviors or events, especially handling multiple dta sets originated from multiple sources such as airborne geophysical/radiometric exploration, field survey, and even a classified image of remote sensing. Conclusively, this methodology associated wit GIS is though to be helpful to analyze the spatial pattern of multiple data, pointing given sources, and is expected to effectively utilize for exploratory analysis of cell-based resultant layer integrated with complex or different data sources.

야외지질학습은 교실에서 경험할 수 없는 물질과 현상을 관찰하고 직접 경험할 수 있는 기회를 제공받을 수 있어서 매우 중요하다(Orion 1989). 또한 체험활동으로서 교실에서 학습한 내용의 구체적인 예를 제공하여 교육과정을 촉진시키는데 중요한 요소로 인식되고 있다. 일반적으로 야외 활동은 교실 활동보다 학생들의 경험과 훨씬 더 밀접히 관련되어 있기 때문에 보다 의미가 있을 수 있다. 야외실습 중에서 얻은 경험은 학생들이 그가 관찰한 것에 대해 읽도록 동기화시키고, 교과서와 자연조건에서의 실제적 경험 사이의 차이를 연결해 주는 다리를 제공해 줄 수 있다(홍정수, 장남기, 1997). 야외학습을 위한 적절한 장소는 먼저 학습주제나 목표와 부합되는 곳이어야 하며, 지리적으로 가깝고 안전한 곳이어야 한다(김찬종, 2008). 그렇기 때문에 각 지역별로 학습주제와 부합된 지역을 선정하여 야외지질 학습자료를 개발하는 것은 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전북 남원 일대를 중심으로 한 야외지질 학습자료를 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 전북 남원지역은 한반도의 중요지괴에 해당하는 영남육괴 지리산지구에 해당하며 편마암 복합체를 기저로 이를 관입하는 수 차례의 화성활동과 지구조운동으로 복잡한 지질양상을 보인다. 또한 지리산 지역은 평안분지와 경상분지의 일부가 보존되어 있고 지질시대를 달리하는 각종 화성암류가 골고루 분포하여 각 지질시대별로 화성활동과 지구조 운동이 활발했음을 시사해준다. 본 연구에서는 남원 지역의 지질학적 특징을 관찰하기 용이한 지역을 대상으로 총 5곳을 선정하였다. 남원 시내에 소재한 춘향대교 아래 지역은 중생대 쥐라기에 관입한 저반상의 남원화강암과 페그마타이트가 다수 분포하는 곳이다. 이 지역에서는 무수히 많은 관입암체를 찾을 수 있는데 다수의 지진과 지각변동이 있었음을 알 수 있다. 두 번째 장소는 다양한 바위들을 관찰할 수 있는 구룡계곡 일대이다. 이 장소는 오랜기간 동안 물의 흐름에 의해 풍화와 침식을 받은 다양한 크기의 바위를 관찰하고 구별함으로써 풍화에 따른 원마도의 관계, 바위들의 배치 형태를 통해 고지형 및 고수류의 방향을 유추해 볼 수 있다. 남원에서 장수 방향에 위치한 만행산 주변에는 흑운모편마암에 우세한데, 이 지역에서는 흑운모편마암에 나타나는 변성구조로 볼 때 높은 열과 압력을 받은 광역변성작용을 받는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 관입암체 내에 다양한 맥들이 관입을 해와 이를 통해 관입암체들의 상대연령을 판단해보는 학습자료로 활용될 수 있다. 네 번째 장소는 남원시 인월면 인풍리 소재의 인월 피바위 지역이다. 이 지역에서는 압쇄상 화강암이 주로 관찰되는데 이는 기원암인 반상화강암이 동력변성작용을 받아 생성된 것이다. 다섯 번째 지역은 지리산 내의 뱀사골로 지리산 인근에 분포하는 대표적인 편마암인 반상변정질 편마암을 관찰할 수 있다. 변정이란 변성작용을 받는 동안 형성되는 것으로 변성작용을 받는 동안 생긴 것도 있으나 경우에 따라 생성당시 원래 모암속에 포함되어 있는 반정들도 있다.

Recently, there have been various researches on the cost reduction and savings during the construction activities with the development of automation and computerized information system. Considering the cost savings during the construction, the development of the geological and geotechnical information system with high practical use becomes very important since the geologic and geotechnical data are required for the design of the various structures. Currently, the geological and geotechnical data are collected and distributed as a geological/geotechnical map or engineering geology map and map with other specific purpose through geoinfo system at Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources, Korea Mineral Resources GIS at Korea Mineral Resources Corporation, Geotechnical Information Portal System at Korea Institute of Construction Technology, Geotechnical Information System at the City of Seoul and the Ocean Data Integration Material System at Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration. Furthermore, the information on the groundwater is monitored and collected via Integrated Ground Water Information Service at Korea Water Resources Corporation and Rural Groundwater net at Korea Rural Community Corporation. Therefore, in this study, the contents of the geological and geotechnical data collected from the above mentioned government organization are compared and the DB and distribution system with higher utilization are suggested based on the comparisons with those from other countries such as United States of America, Japan and Germany.

We present gravity anomaly maps based on KIGAM's gravity data measured from 2000 to 2018. Until 2016, we acquired gravity data on about 6,400 points for the purpose of regional mapping covering the whole country with data density of at least one point per $4km{\times}4km$ for reducing the time of the data acquisition. In addition, we have performed local gravity surveys for the purpose of mining development in and around the NMC Moland Mine at Jecheon in 2013 and in the Taebaeksan mineralized zone from 2015 to 2018 with data interval of several hundred meters to 2 km. Meanwhile, we carried out precise gravity explorations with data interval of about 250 m on and around epicenter areas of Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes of relatively large magnitude which occurred in 2016 and in 2017, respectively. Thus we acquired in total about 9,600 points data as the result. We also used additional data acquired by Pusan National University for some local areas. Finally, gravity data more than 16,000 points except for the repetition and temporal control points were available to calculate free-air, Bouguer, and isostatic gravity anomalies. Therefore, the presented anomaly maps are most advanced in spatial distribution and the number of used data so far in Korea.

Spatial data integration using multiple geo-based data sets has been regarded as one of the primary GIS application issues. As for this issue, several integration schemes have been developed as the perspectives of mathematical geology or geo-mathematics. However, research-based approaches for statistical/quantitative assessments between integrated layer and input layers are not fully considered yet. Related to this niche point, in this study, spatial data integration using multiple geoscientific data sets by known integration algorithms was primarily performed. For spatial integration by using raster-based GIS functionality, geological, geochemical, geophysical data sets, DEM-driven data sets and remotely sensed imagery data sets from the Ogdong area were utilized for geological thematic mapping related by mineral potential mapping. In addition, statistical/quantitative information extraction with respective to relationships among used data sets and/or between each data set and integrated layer was carried out, with the scope of multiple data fusion and schematic statistical assessment methodology. As for the spatial integration scheme, certainty factor (CF) estimation and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied. However, this study was not aimed at direct comparison of both methodologies; whereas, for the statistical/quantitative assessment between integrated layer and input layers, some statistical methodologies based on contingency table were focused. Especially, for the bias reduction, jackknife technique was also applied in PCA-based spatial integration. Through the statistic analyses with respect to the integration information in this case study, new information for relationships of integrated layer and input layers was extracted. In addition, influence effects of input data sets with respect to integrated layer were assessed. This kind of approach provides a decision-making information in the viewpoint of GIS and is also exploratory data analysis in conjunction with GIS and geoscientific application, especially handing spatial integration or data fusion with complex variable data sets.
