This study aims to analyze the regional geomorphology of the Chugaryeong Tectonic Valley which has been one of the most important areas for Korean geomorphological research. Though the Chugaryeong Tectonic Valley has been thought important for the tectonic settings and orographic processes in Korea, geomorphological and geological discussions still are sustaining for finding out evidences of the settings. The Chugaryeong valley region has many geomorphic themes such as tectonic structure, volcanics, river, mountain, terrace, lake and sediment layers. The research of the valley focuses on the comprehensive analysis of the previous references mainly including geomorphic naming, geomorphology and geology, and history of the study for estimating the origin of tectonic valley, formation of the lave plateau, change of river structure by dissection, restoration of the landform before lava eruption, and the processes and age dating of the various landforms. Conclusively, the Chugaryeong Tectonic Valley may be recognized as the linear region of the tectonic and volcanic landforms with other various applied geomorphic settings.

In the vicinity of the Antarctic-Scotia plate boundary off Elephant Island(EI), geophysical data(multichannel seismic and gravity data) reveal rapid structural variation of the Shackleton Fracture Zone(SFZ) along its strike. The SFZ ridge terminates in front of the Antarctic Peninsula margin, whereas the transform fault of the SFZ continues farther southeast near EI and the width of the SFZ broadens toward the southeast. Accordingly, the SFZ transform fault changes its morphology along its strike as (1) a graben structure along the high Shackleton ridge in Drake Passage, (2) a half-graben structure in oceanic crust just southeast of the Antarctic-Scotia plate boundary, and (3) splay faults deforming the margin of EI. Two phases of tectonic deformation are clearly observed along the transform fault. Major extensional deformation had formed a large-scale half-graben during roughly about $10{\sim}20$ Ma when Drake Passage had opened. And then, the Shackleton fault has been reactivated with reverse sense, which has been caused by recent convergence between Antarctic and Scotia plates due to westward movement of the Scotia plate since 6 Ma.

지질학적으로 선구조는 지체구조해석을 비롯한 광물자원 및 지하수탐사, 자연재해분석, 지질구조해석등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 이러한 선구조를 추출하는 방법은 많은 연구자들에 의해 연구되어 왔다. 최근 컴퓨터의 발달로 선구조를 객관적이고 손쉽게 추출하고자 하는 연구가 진행되었고, 이번 연구는 이처럼 컴퓨터를 이용한 선구조의 자동화된 추출을 목적으로 하였으며, 지형을 잘 나타내주는 수치표고모델을 이용하여 지형적인 특징을 규명될 수 있는 선구조를 추출하였다. 먼저, 수치표고모델에 5도간격으로 만들어진 일정크기의 필터를 적용하여 계곡에서 높은 값을 갖은 영상과 능선에서 높은 값을 갖는 영상을 각각 만들었다. 이 영상에서 threshold를 통해 얻어진 이진영상을 세선화하여 계곡과 산맥을 구해 내었고, 각각의 산맥과 계곡을 이루는 요소들을 직선이라 가정하였을 때의 오차를 구하였다. 이 값이 일정 범위안에 들어가고 일정 길이 이상인 경우에만 선구조로써 선택을 하였다.

동굴이 휴양명소로 자리잡아 감에 따라 동굴에 대한 관심이 늘어나고 있는 때에 우리나라에 분포하고 있는 동굴의 구조적 특성을 밝히는 것은 중요한 일이다. 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라에 분포한 동굴을 유형별로 분류하고, 그 중 대표적인 석회동굴과 화산동굴의 구조적 특성을 밝히는 것이다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리나라에는 260개 이상의 동굴이 분포하고 있는데, 강원도와 충청북도 지방에 75％ 이상이 집중되어 있으며, 이것은 이들 지역이 우리나라의 지체구조사 옥천지향사에 해당하는 곳이어서 석회석이 발달한 때문이다. 둘째, 우리나라의 동굴은 성인상으로 분류하면 석회동굴 ·화산동굴 ·해식동굴 ·저리굴 등으로 나눌 수 있는데, 석회동굴이 가장 많고, 화산동굴은 제주도에 주로 분포한다. 셋째, 동굴지형면에서 석회동굴은 이차 생성물의 성장으로 인해 다양한 볼거리를 제공하는 반면에, 제주도의 화산동굴은 규모면에서 세계적이라는 것이 특징이고, 몇몇 동굴에서는 해안가 패사류의 퇴적으로 인해 석화동굴에서만 볼 수 있는 이차 생성물이 발달된 곳도 있다. 마지막으로 동굴생물적 측면에서는 동굴의 깊이가 클수록 진동굴성 동물이 비교적 많이 발견된다. 또한 본토의 석회동굴과 제주도의 화산동굴 내에 분포하는 동굴생물은 다소 그 종류에서 차이가 나타나고 있다. 특히 제주도의 화산동굴에는 그곳에만 독특하게 사는 동굴생물들이 발견되어 종의 이름에 ‘제주도...’ 라고 명명하는 것이 특징이다.

Reflection seismic survey has been conducted using R/V Yuzmogeologia of Russia on the area of between northern part of Powell basin and South Scotia Ridge. 48-channel seismic data have been processed using Promax system. Hesperides and Eastern Deep located in the central part of the South Scotia Ridge show similar geological structure comprising two distinct sedimentary layers. The lower layer filled with fault breccia is considered to be formed with the expansion of the deeps. The upper layer is filled with pelagic sediments which implies this layer is formed after the spreading of the deeps has stopped. The south branch of the South Scotia Ridge is characterized by bigger width than the north branch. Topographical depression shown in the south branch is formed by many faults accompanied with the seafloor expansion of Powell basin.

This study tried to reveal relative surface denudation resistance and ranking by geologic types in the Southern Korean Peninsula using an 1:250,000 digital geologic map and ASTER GDEM. Among rock types such as igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, metamorphic rock showed the greatest resistance to surface denudation. The most resistant rock to surface denudation by geologic periods (e.g., the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic) was found from the Precambrian. Among the major tectonic settings in the Southern Korean Peninsula such as the Gyeonggi massif, Okcheon belt, Yeongnam massif, Gyeongsang basin and Pohang basin, the Okcheon belt indicated the greatest resistance. The most and least resistant rocks from the representative nine rocks in the Southern Korean Peninsula were Paleozoic limestone, and Cretaceous sedimentary rock and Cenozoic sedimentary rock, respectively. This study suggests that Paleozoic limestone, Cretaceous volcanic rock, Paleozoic sedimentary rock and Precambrian gneiss can be regarded as hard rocks with high elevation, steep slope and complicated relief, while soft rocks with low elevation, gentle slope and simple relief are Jurassic granite, Cretaceous sedimentary rock and Cenozoic sedimentary rock.

A physically based model for rainfall-runoff simulation in agricultural watersheds equipped with tile drains is developed from the TOPMODEL framework. The model is based on detailed topographical information provided by the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), which is available in the Geographic Information System GRASS. Nine possible flow generation scenarions are suggested and used in the development of the model. The storage and delaying effects in the soil matrix and in the tile system are simulated with a second order linear reservoir. The model can identify the portions of the hydrators resulting from tile flow, subsurface flow and surface runoff.

Earthquakes can cause serious loss of life and significant property damage. Thus, the study of active faults is important in evaluating future fault activity and hazards caused by future earthquake events. Structural mapping and the tracing of active faults are the primary steps in studies of active faults. Until now, active faults in South Korea have been mapped using aerial photography, satellite images, and low-quality DEMs. Lineament analysis as a means of identifying active faults is relatively difficult in Korea due to geological characteristics (weak tectonic activity) and dense vegetation cover. In this paper, we introduce the basic concept of the LiDAR technique (a new prospective remote sensing method) and a data analysis method that can overcome these problems. This paper will contribute to a better understanding of the airborne LiDAR technique and its application to South Korea. Some preliminary results from Korean and USA LiDAR data show the usefulness of this technique for tracing lineaments, active faults, and terraces in South Korea.
