The long term land-cover changes and the pattern of morphological changes in foredune ridges and unvegetated dunes were investigated for about 30 years through analysing aerial photographs in Shinduri coastal dunefield, Korea. As a result, forested dune area increased while unvegetated dune area decreased continuously since 1967. Foredune ridges retreated landward about 80m away from the former coast-line in the middle part while they advanced seaward after construction of dike in the northern part during last 3 decades. Unvegetated dunes in the middle part of the dunefield were eroded at seaward side and moved landward away. These facts mean not only coastal dune area has been affected by man-made effects such as afforestation and coastal developments but also shinduri coastal dune area has been stabilized by plants and has been negative sediment budget.

In this paper, we present the design, functions and performance analysis of the virtual machine (VM) based on the Lua interpreter for On-Board Control Procedure Execution Environment (OEE). The development of the OEE has been required in order to operate the lunar explorer mission autonomously which is planned by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) autonomously. The concept of On-Board Control Procedure (OBCP) is already being applied to the deep space missions with a long propagation delay and a limited data transmission capacity since it ensure he autonomy of the mission without the ground intervention. The interpreter is the execution engine in the VM and it interpreters high-level programming codes line by line and executes the VM instructions. So the execution speed is very more slower than that of natively compiled codes. In order to overcome it, we design and implement OEE using register-based Lua interpreter for execution engine in OEE. We present experimental results on a range of additional hardware configurations such as usages of cache and floating point unit. We expect those to utilized to the OBCP scheduling policy and the system with Lua interpreter.

인공위성 기반의 원격탐사자료는 홍수, 가뭄 등 자연재해에 대한 모니터링 및 예측에 활용되어 왔으며, 특히 인공위성을 이용한 광역적 강수량 추정 자료는 지형적 제약을 받는 지상관측자료와 비교하여 시공간적으로 연속적이고 균질한 강수량 자료 취득이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 우리나라의 경우 상대적으로 조밀한 지상관측망이 구축되어 있어 공간적으로 상세한 강수량 정보를 생산할 수 있는 여건을 갖추고 있지만, 북한 지역의 경우 기상, 수문, 통계자료에 관한 자료의 접근 및 품질의 제한성으로 인해 미계측 지역에 대한 강수량의 추정에 한계가 있다. CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations) 데이터는 1999년부터 미국국제개발처 (U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID), 미국항공우주국 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA), 미국해양대기청 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA)의 지원으로 개발된 전지구 강우데이터 자료이다. CHIRPS는 1981년부터 현재까지 전지구 강우자료를 0.05도 격자 해상도로 제공하고 있으며, 강수량의 추세 분석 및 가뭄 모니터링을 위해 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CHG (Climate Hazards Group)에서 제공하고 있는 인공위성을 이용한 광역적 강수량 추정 자료인 CHIRPS와 남한 및 북한의 지상관측 강수량 자료와의 비교를 통해 위성으로부터 유도된 격자 강수량자료의 정확도 및 지역적인 강수추정의 불확실성을 평가하고, 수자원 및 재해 분야 이용 가능성을 검토하고자 한다.

This study summarizes some important results from the studies on clouds and aerosols, and their effects on climate in the northeast Asia that were made mainly by Korean scientists and some other scientists from around the world. Clouds and aerosols are recognized as one of the most important factors that contributes to uncertainties in climate predictions and therefore become the subject of active research in the western developed countries in recent years. However, the researches on clouds and aerosols are very weakly done in Korea except ground based measurements of aerosol physical, chemical and optical properties. These measurements indicate that aerosol loadings in the northeast Asia are generally much higher than other parts of the world. On the other hand, researches on clouds are few in Korea. Satellite and ground remote sensing, numerical modeling and aircraft in-situ measurements of clouds are highly needed for better assessment of the role of clouds on climate in the northeast Asia.

This paper is designed for hardware to be applied to JPEG2000 standard in the fields of digital photography, remote sensing, aerial remote telemetry, medical imaging, high resolution, and high compression telemetry applications. The software implementation of the JPEG2000 standard for image compression has disadvantages that the processing speed is very slow compared to the conventional JPEG, also the degradation occurs when the DWT level of the JPEG2000 standard is improved. In order to solve this problem, we designed and applied JPEG2000 compression/decompressor. In this paper, the hardware of the JPEG 2000 compression/storage device shows optimal compression speed, faster processing speed, and the image quality for still images by changing the optimal DWT level.

NASA has a plan for the Artemis manned lunar mission in 2020. In 2030s, not only America but also other countries are considering to prepare for human to stay on the Moon at least for a month and necessary technology is currently being developed. With this plan, the mostly considered thing is lunar in-situ resource utilization. The most essential resources could be water and oxygen for sustain human life on the Moon. These resources are not supposed to be brought from the Earth, and it is economically sensible if they are obtained from the lunar surface. Because oxygen can be used as both oxidizer and propellent when a rocket departs from a lunar base directly to Mars, technology for extraction method of oxygen resource and its utilization has been being developed worldwide. This paper introduces oxygen distribution on the Moon and major oxygen extraction methods.

수변식생(riparian vegetation)은 하천 지형학적 프로세스에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 하나로, 최근 기후변화와 더불어 중요성이 커지고 있다. 내성천은 사질 곡류 하천으로, 2014년과 2015년 유량 감소에 의해 급격한 식생의 정착이 나타났다. 내성천 수변식생의 정착 및 활착은 수문-지형학적 프로세스에 영향을 미쳤고, 결과적으로 하도와 범람원의 형태를 변화시켰다. 이와 같은 변화를 예측하고 분석하는 것은 이수, 치수 및 방재 정책과 생태계 사이의 균형 및 조화를 추구하는 정책결정에 필수적이다. 그러나 식생을 고려하지 않은 기존의 수문-지형 모델링에서는 이와 같은 변화를 재현할 수 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 흐름, 식생, 지형의 상호작용이 하천 지형에 미치는 영향을 시각화 및 분석하고, 식생을 고려하지 않은 기존의 모델들의 결과와 비교하고자 한다. 본 초록은 이를 위해 수문-지형학 모델인 D-Flow-FM을 수변 식생 모델과 결합한 커플링 모델(Van Oorschot et al., 2016)을 활용하여 내성천에서 2013년부터 2019년까지의 발생한 지형학적 프로세스와 식생 사이의 상호작용을 재현한 예비결과이다. 식생 모델 결과는 내성천 현장조사 자료와 원격탐사 자료를 이용해 검보정하였다. 식생을 고려한 모델의 하천 형태는 식생을 고려하지 않은 모델의 결과에 비해 좁고 깊은 형태로 나타났으며, 지형학적 변동성이 적게 나타났다. 이는 유량 변화와 관련하여 생태-지형학적 프로세스로 인한 수변 식생 변동성이 강의 형태에 영향을 미쳤다는 것을 보여준다. 모의된 하천의 형태학적 특성이나 식생의 분포 특성은 항공사진과 비교했을 때 준수한 수준이다. 본 모델은 기후변화에 따른 식생의 변동성이 하천에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 데에 활용할 수 있으며, 수문-생태-지형학적 프로세스에 의한 하천의 변화를 예측하고 분석하는 데에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

일본 우주항공연구개발기구(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA)는 2007년부터 2017년까지 달 탐사선 셀레네(Selenological and Engineering Explorer, SelEnE)가 관측한 데이터를 수집하고, 연구했다. JAXA는 지구 상층 대기에 존재하는 산소가 자기장의 꼬리 부분에 실려 달로 이동한다는 사실을 발견했다. 하지만 이 연구는 아직 진행 중이며 달의 산화 과정 규명에 추가 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 생성적 적대 신경망(Generative Adversarial Networks, GAN)으로 달 분화구의 영구 그림자 영역을 제거하고, 물과 얼음을 발견하여 선행 연구의 완성도를 향상하고자 한다. 실험에 사용할 모델은 CIPS(Conditionally Independent Pixel Synthesis)다. CIPS는 실제 같은 영상을 고해상도로 합성한다. 합성할 데이터의 최적인 가중치 초기화 및 파라미터 갱신 방법, 활성 함수 조합은 실험을 통해 확인한다. 필요에 따라 앙상블 학습을 할 수도 있다. 성능평가는 FID(Frechet Inception Distance), 정밀도, 재현율을 사용한다. 제안한 방법은 진행 중인 연구의 시간과 비용을 절약하고, 인과관계를 더욱 명확히 밝히는 데 도움 될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Kompsat EOC-1 imagery, high resolution air-photo imagery and Shalstab model were used to analyze the geomorphic characteristics of the place of debris flow occurred by typhon "RUSA" in 2002, Macheon-Myen, Gyeongsang prefecture, Republic of Korea. On gully-head over 35 degree of slope angle, almost debris flow started, where slope angle is more than internal friction angle. The result simulated by Shalstab model presented larger vulnerable area to debris flow than the area where debris flow really occurred, this error would be attributed to the assumption for steady-state condition with full saturated surface. To predict the debris flow accurately, further study for rainfall and soil water flow will be needed.

The term "peaceful uses of outer space" in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty appears in official government statements and multilateral outer space related treaties. However, the examination of the state practice leads to the conclusion that this term is still without an authoritative definition. As far as the meaning of 'peaceful use' in international law is concerned the same phrases in the UN Charter, the 1963 Treaty of Banning Nuclear Weapons Tests in the Atmosphere in Outer Space and Under Water, the 1956 Statute of IAEA, the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the 1972 United Nations Conference of the Human Environment were analysed As far as the meaning of 'peaceful uses of outer space' is concerned the same phrases the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, the 1979 Moon Treaty and the 1977 Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques(ENMOD) were studied. According to Article IV of the 1967 Outer Space treaty, states shall not place in orbit around the earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kind of weapons of mass destruction, install such weapons on celestial bodies, or station such weapons in outer space in any other manner. The 1979 Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies repeats in Article III much of the Outer Space Treaty. This article prohibits the threat or use of force or any other hostile act on the moon and the use of the moon to commit such an act in relation to the earth or to space objects. This adds IN principle nothing to the provisions of the Outer Space Treaty relating to military space activities. The 1977 ENMOD refers to peaceful purposes in the preamble and in Article III. As far as the UN Resolutions are concerned, the 1963 Declaration of Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exp1oration and Use of Outer Space, the 1992 Principles Relevant to the Use of Nuclear Power Sources in Outer Space(NPS) were studied. And as far the Soft Laws are concerned the 2008 Draft Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapon in Outer Space and of the Threat or Use of Force against Outer Space Objects(PPWT), the 2002 Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Prolifiration(HCoC) and 2012 Draft International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities(ICoC) were studied.
