예로부터 전설과 설화는 신성함과 주술적 의미, 상상력이 가미된 교훈적 의미를 담아 구전되어 온 것으로, 창녕의 '문호장 발자국'은 국내 여러 지역에서 전해지는 다수의 사람·동물 관련 설화 중 주인공이 남긴 실체(발자국)가 공룡발자국으로 확인된 첫 사례이다. 본 연구에서는 '문호장 발자국'에 대한 지질학적 기초자료 수집/분포도 작성, 3차원 디지털 기록화/시각화를 바탕으로 한 과학적 분석과 더불어, 설화·전설 속 발자국 사례 분석에 따른 인문학적 고찰을 시도하였다. 중생대 초식공룡(용각류)이 남긴 보행렬(총 13개의 발자국으로 구성)이 앞·뒷발자국의 형태와 보존 상태로 인해, 옛사람들에게 자연암반에 찍힌 사람발자국으로 인지되었음을 밝힘으로써, 초자연적인 존재에 대한 두려움, 과학적 해석의 한계가 분명했던 당시 사회상과 설화적 인식을 유추할 수 있다. 더불어 전설로 세대를 잇고, 매년 제사와 굿으로 마을의 평안과 안녕을 기원하는 대상의 실제적 증거로서, 보존·관리되어 온 '문호장 발자국'의 과학적·인문학적 탐색을 통해, 전통문화와 자연유산이 어우러져 서로의 가치를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

송악산과 사람 발자국 화석지 주변에서 측정된 절대 연대 측정 결과와 야외 지질 조사를 근거로 할 때, 하모리-송악산 지역의 층서는 하부로부터 광해악 현무암, 명명되지 않은 퇴적층, 송악산 응회암, 하모리층 및 사구층으로 구성되어 있으며, 발자국 화석이 산출되는 사계리 지역은 하부로부터 광해악 현무암, 사람 발자국 화석 산출 지층 그리고 사구층으로 구성되어 있다. 하모리층은 송악산 응회암이 형성된 후 퇴적된 지층이라는 규정과 절대 연령 측정 결과 및 현지에서 조사된 바에 의하면, 사람 발자국 화석이 산출되는 지층은 하모리-송악산 지역의 송악산 응회암층 상부에 놓이는 하모리층이 아니라 하부에 분포하는 명명되지 않은 퇴적층과 대비된다. 따라서 사람 발자국 화석의 형성 시기는 $^{14}C$ 측정 결과인 약 15,000년 전으로 해석하는 것이 합리적으로 생각된다.

The world today has reached a certain level where it is impossible to get the quality education at the tertiary level without the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). ICT has made life better, communication easier and faster, teaching and learning more practical through computers and other technology based learning tools. However, despite these benefits ICT has equally contributed immensely to environmental problems. Therefore there is the need to use ICT resources efficiently in universities for environmental sustainability so as to save both the university environment and the world at large from the effects of global warming. This paper evaluates the carbon footprints from the use of ICT devices and comes up with a proposed green ICT framework to reduce the carbon footprints in universities. The framework contains techniques and approaches to achieve greenness in the data center, personal computers (PCs) and monitors, and printing in order to make ICT more environmentally friendly, cheaper, safer and ultimately more efficient. Concerned experts in their respective departments at Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU) Malaysia evaluated the proposed framework. It was found to be effective for achieving efficiency, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

This study intended to the optimal conservation method and to make an application scheme for the fossil locality of the Quaternary Hamori Formation at the northeastern coast of Mt. Songak. Many kinds of innumerable fossils are found from the Hamori Formation in the study area: Footprints of hominid, trace fossils of invertebrates, bird, artiodactyla, proboscidea, carnivores, unclassified footprints, and body fossils (arthropoda, gastropoda, mollusca, and plants). The formation has been outcropped and eroded out with innumerous fossils by the strong wave action of storm and typhoon. Korean government recognized the dangerous situation of the important fossils and decided to conserve the formation for the national heritage. Method D1 (conservation hall or museum on the fossil locality) may be the best way to protect the fossil locality from all the natural activities and to do the research, exhibition, education, and sightseeing together. The application of the geologic materials from the fossil locality should preferentially focus on the collection and research which should be accompanied by exhibition, education, and sightseeing. The application scheme may be stepped into three stages during 10 years: (1) systematic conservation and publicity during 2005-2007, (2) establishment of wellorganized museum during 2008-2010, and (3) international museum with the optimized roles 2011-2014.

Building information is extremely important for many applications within the urban environment. Sufficient techniques and user-friendly tools for information extraction from remotely sensed imagery are urgently needed. This paper presents an automatic and manual approach for extracting footprints of buildings in urban areas from airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data. First a digital surface model (DSM) was generated from the LIDAR point data. Then, objects higher than the ground surface are extracted using the generated DSM. Based on general knowledge on the study area and field visits, buildings were separated from other objects. The automatic technique for extracting the building footprints was based on different window sizes and different values of image add backs, while the manual technique was based on image segmentation. A comparison was then made to see how precise the two techniques are in detecting and extracting building footprints. Finally, the results were compared with manually digitized building reference data to conduct an accuracy assessment and the result shows that LIDAR data provide a better shape characterization of each buildings.

The brightness of Io's magnetic footprint, an indicator of electromagnetic interaction at the satellite, appears to be strongly connected to the satellite's distance from the plasma equator. As a result, the brightest footprints were detected when Io is near the interception location between the satellite's orbital plane and the plasma equator. However, volcanic activities on Io show strong correlation with the equatorward shift of Jupiter's main auroral oval, consequently causing the disappearance of Io's footprint. The same conclusion was suggested via the observation of Jupiter's hectometric radio emission, called HOM, which closely corresponds to Jupiter's auroral activity. The plasma environment near the Jovian satellites was found to vary significantly at different observational epochs. The electron density increased by approximately a factor of three from the Voyager epoch (1979) to the Galileo epoch (1995), while the electron density was found to be significantly higher (~ 5 times) in the Cassini epoch (2001). In this current study, the magnetic footprints were clearly brighter ten years ago (from peak brightness in 1998-2001) than the footprints detected in 2007. For volcanic activities on Io in 2007, there are two clear activities in February and late May. The magnetic footprint appeared to be dimmer in March 2007, expected to be the result of volcano activities in Feb 2007. However, the magnetic footprint brightness in June appeared to be slightly brighter than the footprints observed in May. The reason could be the time delay between the brightening of the sodium nebula on approximately May 31st and, a while later, the enhancement of flux tube content peaking on approximately June 5th. On the other hand, Io's magnetic footprints were observed during June 1st - 10th when they may not yet have been affected by the increase in mass outflow due to the increase of plasma density.

During the post green revolution era, wheat and rice were the main crops of concern to cater the food security issues of Pakistan. The use of semi dwarf high yielding varieties along with extensive use of fertilizers and surface and ground water lead to substantial increase in crop production. However, the higher crop productivity came at the cost of over exploitation of the precious land and water resources, which ultimately has resulted in the dwindling production rates, loss of soil fertility, and qualitative and quantitative deterioration of both surface and ground water bodies. Recently, during the past two decades, severe climate changes are further pushing the Pakistan's wheat-rice system towards its limits. This necessitates a careful analysis of the current crop water requirements and water footprints (both green and blue) to project the future trends under the most likely climate change phenomenon. This was done by using the FAO developed CROPWAT model v 8.0, coupled with the statistically-downscaled climate projections from the 8 Global Circulation Models (GCMs), for the two future time slices, 2030s (2021-2050) and 2060s (2051-2080), under the two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs): 4.5 and 8.5. The wheat-rice production system of Punjab, Pakistan was considered as a case study in exploration of how the changing climate might influence the crop water requirements and water footprints of the two major crops. Under the worst, most likely future scenario of temperature rise and rainfall reduction, the crop water requirements and water footprints, especially blue, increased, owing to the elevated irrigation demands originating from the accelerated evapotranspiration rates. A probable increase in rainfall as envisaged by some GCMs may partly alleviate the adverse impacts of the temperature rise but the higher uncertainties associated with the predicated rainfall patterns is worth considering before reaching a final conclusion. The total water footprints were continuously increasing implying that future climate would profoundly influence the crop evapotranspiration demands. The results highlighted the significance of the irrigation water availability in order to sustain and improve the wheat-rice production system of Punjab, Pakistan.

군산 산북동 공룡과 익룡발자국 화석산지는 국내 최대의 전기 백악기 공룡발자국 화석지이며, 모든 발자국은 대형 조각류와 수각류 공룡들이 전기 백악기에 한반도에 서식하였음을 지시하는 중요한 증거이다. 산북동 화석산지는 2021년 보호각 설치 이전까지 야외 환경에서 방수포로 보호되어 있었다. 이로 인해 화석의 기반암에는 전단력, 하중 감소, 온습도변화, 산성비, 염분 및 미생물 등이 복합적으로 작용하여 발자국의 손상이 가중되었다. 이 연구에서는 발자국 화석 중 형태 및 보행렬 확인이 가능한 12개 보행렬의 159개 발자국을 대상으로 각각의 손상정도를 평가하고 6개의 손상유형으로 분류하였다. 화석산지 전체 표면에 대한 초음파 물성평가 결과, 대부분 완전풍화단계(CW)를 보였다. 또한 연구대상 화석산지에는 다양한 풍화양상이 나타나 층준별 표면의 오염원을 분석한 결과, 화석산지의 신선부와 오염물은 지점별로 양상은 상이하나 조성은 거의 유사하였다. 이를 바탕으로 공룡 및 익룡발자국 화석산지의 효율적인 보존관리체계를 구축하였으며 각 발자국의 보존처리 유형을 제안하였다.
