Surface wave (SW) surveys, which have been applied to numerous application fields ranging from micro-scale ultrasonic analysis to geological scale analysis, are widely used to monitor near-surface stability. The survey method is basically made through analysis on dispersion of SW propagating along the earth surface, in order to delineate shear velocity structure of subsurface. SW survey data are inverted with assuming one-dimensional (1D) layered-earth in order to recover shear wave velocities of each layer, after being analyzed to make the dispersion curve that shows phase velocity of SW with respect to frequency. This study reviews surface wave surveys with explaining the basic theory including the characteristics of dispersion and the procedure of general data processing. Even though surface wave surveys can be categorized into active and passive methods, this paper focuses only on active surface wave methods which includes continuous SW (CSW), spectral analysis of SW (SASW) and multichannel analysis of SW (MASW). Passive method will be reviewed in the subsequent paper.

In contrast to the short-term nature of lunar missions in the past, lunar missions in new space era aim to extend the presence on the lunar surface and to use this capability for the Mars exploration. In order to realize extended human presence on the Moon, production and use of consumables and fuels required for the habitation and transportation using in-situ resources is an important prerequisite. The Global Exploration Roadmap presented by the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG), which reflects the space exploration plans of participating countries, shows the phases of progress from lunar surface exploration to Mars exploration and relates in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) capabilities to each phase. Based on the ISRU Gap Assessment Report from the ISECG, ISRU technology is categorized into in-situ propellant and consumable production, in-situ construction, in-space manufacturing, and related areas such as storage and utilization of products, power systems required for resource utilization. Among the lunar resources, leading countries have prioritized the utilization of ice water existing in the permanent shadow region near the lunar poles and the extraction of oxygen from the regolith, and are preparing to investigate the distribution of resources and ice water near the lunar south pole through unmanned landing missions. Resource utilization technologies such as producing hydrogen and oxygen from water by hydroelectrolysis and extracting oxygen from the lunar regolith are being developed and tested in relevant lunar surface analogue environments. It is also observed that each government emphasizes the use and development of the private sector capabilities for sustainable lunar surface exploration by purchasing lunar landing services and providing opportunities to participate in resource exploration and material extraction.

The passive surface wave method measures seismic signals from ambient noises or vibrations of natural phenomena without using an artificial source. Since passive sources are usually in lower frequencies than artificial ones being able to ensure the information on deeper geological structures, the passive surface wave method can investigate deeper geological structures. In the passive method, frequency dispersion curves are obtained after data acquisition, and the dispersion curves are analyzed by assuming 1D-layered earth, which is like the method of active surface wave survey. However, when computing dispersion curves, the passive method first obtains and analyzes coherence curves of received signals from a set of receivers based on spatial autocorrelation. In this review, we explain how passive surface wave methods measure signals, and make data processing and interpretation, before analyzing field application cases.

First steps of Planetary exploration are usually conducted with the use of autonomous rovers. These rovers are capable of finding its own path and perform experiments about the planet's surface. This paper makes a proposal for a multi-agent system which effectively take the advantage of a blackboard system for share knowledge and effort of each agent. Agents use Reactive Model with the combination of Belief Desire Intension (BDI) Model and also use a Path Finding Algorithm for calculate shortest distance and a path for travel on the planet's surface. This approach can perform a surface exploration on a given terrain within a short period of time. Information which are gathered on the blackboard are used to make an output with detailed surface soil variance results. The developed Multi-Agent system performed well with different terrain sizes.

Active method MASW(Multi channel Analysis of Surface Waves), which is one of the surface wave exploration methods, has the difficulties to supply enough shear wave velocity log, caused by short spread length and lack of low frequency energy. To make up this defect, the passive method MASW survey is taked and analysised in Daeku subway construction site, Jungpyung-dong Gyeongsan city. The passive method MASW using the microtremor, improve the quality of the overtone record by applying the azimuth correction caused offline sources. And combing with active overtone record which is acquired by same geometry has the benefits of improve shallow depth resolution and extend possible investigation depth. To take the optimized acquisition parameters, the 2m, 4m, and 6m geophone spacing is tested. And 2m spacing overtone image could make the reliable shear wave velocity log.

저수지는 기존의 육상 수지에 직접적인 영향 뿐 만 아니라 수체가 육상에 머무르는 시간을 늘려 수온 및 수질에는 영향을 미친다. 이들이 환경 및 지역 기후 변화에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 주요인자로 기후 변화에 미치는 긍정적, 부정적 효과와 함께 중요성이 더 증대되고 있다. 위성 원격탐사는 북한 지역 등과 같은 현장 관측 자료의 수집이 어려운 지역을 포함한 전 지구 규모에서 저수량 변화를 추정하는데 유용한 자료를 제공한다. 우리는 광학 위성 (Landsat-8/9)과 능동형 마이크로파 위성 (Sentinel-1)를 활용해 한반도 지역에 분포하고 있는 저수지의 수체 면적을 산출하기 위해 2020년부터 2022년까지 자료를 수집했다. 저수지 표면적 산출은 전통적인 NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) 및 후방산란계수 (𝜎₀)에 multi-Otsu 방법을 적용하여 이진화 영상을 얻는 방식을 이용했다. 여전히 남아있는 과탐지 영역은 최대 표면적 영상과 상대 비교를 통해 제거했다. Landsat과 Sentinel-1 위성 원격 탐사 자료 기반 저수지 표면적은 높은 유사성이 있었고, 현장 및 위성 고도계 자료 기반 수면 고도 변화와 높은 관계성를 보여주었다. 실험을 통해 위성 원격탐사 자료를 활용한 한반도 지역 저수지의 저수량 변화을 추정했으며, 현장 관측자료와 비교했다. 이 추정 기술은 전 지구 저수지 및 호수로 확장할 수 있으며, 수문 모델의 검증자료 등으로 활용될 수 있다.

In this study, the properties of shear wave velocity of coarse gravel in filldams are analyzed. Shear wave velocity is derived using the surface wave analysis method, which can be used nondestructively on the surface of filldams. These values are acquired through the tests for the rock zone of six filldams by SASW and HWAW methods. These analytical results are compared with results obtained through the frequently-used empirical method of Sawada and Takahashi.

국내에 대표적인 표면파 탐사법인 MASW, SASW, HWAW를 비교한 결과에 따르면, 세기법들의 결과가 매우 유사하게 도출되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나, 각 현장별로 획득한 탐사심도의 차이가 존재하였다. 넓은 시험 측선을 필요로 하는 SASW 및 MASW 기법의 경우 현장 상황 및 조건에 따라 15m 정도의 얕은 심도의 물성만을 획득하였다. 표면파 기법은 토사층에서는 매우 신뢰성있는 결과를 도출하였으며 2차원 영상화를 통한 넓은 영역의 물성치를 빠르고 경제적으로 획득할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 현재 지반조사 시 소수의 시추자료를 이용하여 부지의 특성을 파악하기 때문에 시추공간 물성치 및 지반구조에 대해서 확실한 파악이 이뤄지지 않고 있기 때문에 표면파 기법은 토사층의 물성산출 뿐만 아니라 시추공탐사법을 보완하여 시추공간 물성변화를 파악하는 유용한 시험법이라고 판단된다.

Surface wave exploration method has many advantages over other conventional exploration methods. Only limited accumulation of the study results has been made due to the recent development of the method. In this study the characteristics of the phase dispersion curves of four sites with different geo-technical properties have been identified. A generalized inversion method was used to obtain the shear wave velocity profiles of the study areas. The shear wave velocity profiles were compared with the columnar sections of the boreholes at the sites. This study shows that the rapid changes in the shear wave velocities are consistent with the changes in the sedimentary or lithologic faces found in the borehole measurements. This implicates that the surface wave exploration method could be used to identify changes in the physical properties of sediments or rocks.
