  • The lava-calcification which was found in Geunjisul located in Jeju-do (Korea) was investigated to analyse the cause of calcification through the internal factor of cave structure and surroundings in company with relevant ecological system. The volcanic cave is degenerated after formation from volcano lava extravasation, however, the cave became more stronger with solidification and petrification by the reinforced structure of calcification as the cement in concrete buildings unprecedentedly if the lava-calcification occurred in the cave. Such a Progressive Phenomena of lava-calcification was verified in progress first in Geonjigul located at Hyubjae-ri, but those would be found in other simiiar case of caves distributed and connected with seaside of shelly sand beach.

  • This study analyzed on characteristics of the ground-water capture zone in coastal areas and mid-mountainous area according to pumping rate. For this study, it targeted Jejudo island where is the volcanic island. To analyze, MODFLOW model and MODPATH model, which are the ground-water flow analysis models, were used. As a result of research, the following conclusions could be obtained. As a result of analyzing influence of a change in pumping time upon length of capture zone, the length of capture zone in coastal area was indicated to be greater in the changing ratio compared to the length of capture zone in mid-mountainous area. Next, in the coastal area, the pumping rate and the capture-zone length are changing similarly. However, in mid-mountainous area, the length of capture zone was indicated to grow when the pumping rate comes to exceed 1,500m3/day. As a result of analyzing influence of a change in pumping time upon capture area, the tendency of a change in the area was indicated similarly in coastal areas and mid-mountainous area. Especially, it could be known that the larger pumping rate leads to the more definite increase in tendency to a change in capture area. Based on this study, it was allowed to be possibly used in the suitable pumping rate in coastal areas and mid-mountainous area of the volcano island in the future. A follow-up research is judged to necessarily analyze the influence of tubular-well group upon capture zone by additionally analyzing a change in capture zone targeting the concentrated tubular well.

  • This study built the volcano Data Base(DB) of 289 active volcanoes around the Korean Peninsula, Japan, China (include Taiwan), and Russia Kamchatka area. Twenty nine more hazardous volcanoes including Baekdusan, Ulleungdo and 27 Japanese volcanoes that can cause a widespread ash-fall on the Korean peninsula by potentially explosive eruption were selected. This selection was based on the presence of volcanic activity, whether or not containing dangerous explosive eruption rock types, distance from Seoul, and volcanoes having Plinian eruption history with volcanic explosivity index (VEI) 4 or more. The results of this study are utilized for screening high-risk volcanoes that may affect the volcanic disaster caused by a widespread fallout ash. By predicting the extent of spread of ash caused by these hazardous volcanic activities and by analyzing the impact on the Korean peninsula, we suggest that it should be used for helping to predict volcanic ash damages and conduct hazards mitigation research as well.

  • Four unrecorded species (Barbella flagellifera, Isothecium hakkodense, Mnium orientale and Fissidens gardneri) and with one unrecorded genus, Barbella, are reported new to the Korean moss flora. B. flagellifera (Meteoriaceae) was found on a tree at alt. 300-350 m of parasitic Seogeomun-oreum Volcano on Jeju Island. The species are mainly distributed in subtropic regions. I. hakkodense (Lembophyllaceae) was found around the top of Seongin-bong on Ulleung Island. This species is similar to I. subdiversiforme, however, it can be distinguished by the morphologies of branch leaves and alar cells. M. orientale (Mniaceae) was collected from Mt. Jiri. This is similar to M. heterophyllum, however, it can be distinguished by plant size, number of teeth in leaf margin and cell size on leaf. F. gardneri (Fissidentaceae) was found along the valley of Mt. Palyeong, Jeollanam Province. This species is similar to F. obscurirete, but distinguished by the size of the plants and their leaves as well as the costal lengths of the leaves.

  • The Jipum Volcanics, occurred in western Yeongdeok, are a stratigraphic unit that is composed of rhyolitic pyroclastic rocks, tuffites, andesitic hyaloclastites, rhyolite lavas, tuffaceous conglomerates and andesite lavas. The SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating yielded eruption ages of $68.5{\pm}1.6Ma$ from the rhyolitic pyroclastic rocks. Around the time, the unit was generated by dominant rhyolitic volcanisms and locally added by concomitant andesitc volcanisms from another vents. The rhyolitic volcanisms first produced the pyroclastic rocks by phreatomagmatic explosions from rhyolitic magma, later made of the rhyolite lava dome by lava effusions from reopening of the rhyolitc magma at the existing vent. At the time between first and second rhyolitic volcanisms, the tuffites were deposited at a shallow depression in the distal volcanic edifice, and andesitic volcanisms first made of the hyaloclastites by quench fragmentation when hot andesite lavas flew into the depression to contact with cold water. and the Jipum volcano was finally covered with the thin andesitic lavas by lava effusions from another vent.

  • 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.

  • 우리나라의 대표적인 화산도서지역인 제주도는 연 평균 강우량이 1,975mm로 우리나라 최대 다우지역이며, 투수성이 좋은 다공질 화산암류 및 화산회토로 이루어져 있어 지하수 함양율이 총 강우량의 48.5%로 국내에서 가장 높은 수문지질 여건을 지니고 있다. 또한, 강우 후에는 143개의 하천 중 6개의 하천을 제외한 나머지 하천에서 내륙과 달리 평상시 건천의 형태로 유지되고 있으며, 지표수의 발달이 매우 빈약하다. 이러한 연유로 인해 제주도는 수자원의 대부분을 지하수에 의존하고 있으며, 향후 지속적인 수자원을 확보하기 위해서는 지표수의 개발이 절실하게 필요한 실정이다. 제주도는 지하수와 관련된 연구는 부분적으로 진행되어 왔으나 제주도 하천에 대한 유량 관측과 수문모델을 적용하여 유출량을 산정하는 연구는 거의 없는 편이다. 본 연구에서는 장기 강우-유출 모형인 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 상시 유출이 이루어지고 있는 제주도 서귀포 유역에 포함되는 예례천, 궁산천, 영천을 선정하였으며, SWAT 모형의 입력자료인 기상자료와 지형자료(DEM, Land Use, Soil Type)를 구축하여 직접유출량 및 실제증발산량을 산정하였다.(2002. 01. 01~2008. 12. 31) 각 년도별 평균 직접유출량 및 평균 실제증발산량 산정 결과 예례천 유역은 570.14mm, 444.15mm로 나타났으며, 궁산천은 570.51mm, 585.41mm이며, 영천은 444.15mm, 602.51mm로 나타났다. 위의 연구결과는 장기 일 유출량 모의에 대하여 전체적으로 우수한 결과를 보이고 있으며, 향후 많은 유출량 자료를 확보하여 본 연구의 결과와 비교 검정한다면 제주도 하천의 장기 일 유출량 모의 할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 또한 제주도의 유역 전반의 통합 관리 측면에서 뛰어난 적용성과 폭 넓게 활용함으로써 우수한 연구 결과를 도출할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of Teacher Participation-oriented Education Program (TPEP) for Elementary School Teachers to Improve Class Expertise in Science Classes with a focus on visual attention. The participants were two elementary school teachers in Seoul and taught science subjects. The lesson topic applied to this study were 'Structure and Function of Our Body' in the second semester of fifth grade and 'Volcano and Earthquake' in the second semester of fourth grade. The mobile eye tracker SMI's ETG 2w, which is a binocular tracking system was used in this study. In this study, the actual practice time, participant's visual attention, visual intake time average, and visual intake time average were analyzed by class phase. The results of the study are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the actual class execution time, the actual class execution time was almost in line with the lesson plan after the TPEP application. Second, visual attention in the areas related to teaching and learning activities was high after applying TPEP. Factors affecting the progress of the class and cognitive burdens were identified quantitatively and objectively through visual attention. Third, as a result of analyzing the visual intake time average of participants, there was a statistically significant difference in all classes. Fourth, as a result of analyzing the visual intake time average of participants, the results were statistically significant in the introduction(video), activity 1, activity 2, and activity 3 stages in the lecture type class. The Teacher Participation-oriented Education Program (TPEP) for Elementary School Teachers to Improve Class Expertise in Science Classes can extend elementary science class expertise such as self-class analysis, eye tracking, linguistic, gesture, and class design beyond traditional class analysis and consulting.

  • This studied area is divided into the mountains and the valleys. The former is nearly consisted of the badland, the latter is consisted of alluvial plains in the valley, fluvial terrace at the side of the river, alluvial fans between mountains and river terrace. There are many tors, mushroom rocks, sugarloaves, weathering pits, castle coppies, columnar rocks, pinnacles, balanced rocks carved on tuff by means of erosion in the Chiricahua Nat'l Monument. Willcox Playa is alkalic crust where was lake in pleistocene epoch at the time wetter than present. Alkalic crust was made of Ca, Na, K etc. There are sand dunes around here where was lake side in the past. We found many kinds of fossils at the 2,000ft thick horizons of valley alluvium. Pediment and alluvium bordered at the base of Mt. Dragoon wavily. Exfoliation and spalling and sheeting resulted in boulders around here. Tucson is alluvial plain filled in thick 7,0000ft valley. Volcano, fault, erosion, alluvium were and are processing in this area.

  • Eruptive mechanisms and processes at Udo tuff cone can be inferred from indicative characters of products, bedforms and lithofacies, and ring faults. In terms of bedforms and lithofa-cies in particular, massive lapilli tuff beds and chaotic lapilli tuff beds are derived from subaerial falls of aggregated tephra of wet tephra finger jets, occurring dominantly at the lower sequences of proximal part at the tuff cone. Crudely stratified lapilli tuff are derived from subaerial falls of slightly aggregated tephra of less wet tephra finger jets, whereas reversely graded lapilli tuff beds are from slightly disaggregated subaerial falls of continuous uprush. Both beds frequently occur in the middle sequences at proximal and near medial part of the tuff cone. Block and lapilli tephra lenses, ash-coated lapilli tephra beds(lenses) and thin-bedded tuff beds are derived from extremely disaggregated subaerial falls of dry tephra in the continuous uprush, frequently occurring at the upper sequences of medial part at the tuff cone. Udo tuff cone is a basaltic volcano emergent through the sea water surface while water could flood across or into the vent area. Emergence of the tuff cone was from the type-Surtseyan eruption characterized by earlier tephra finger jets and later continuous uprush columns of tephra with copious volumes of steam. Explosions began when boiling of wter produced a bubble column reducing the hydrostatic pres-sure, allowing exsolution of gases from the magma. This expansion of magma into a vesiculating froth fragmented the magma and permitted mixing of magma and water so that a more vigorous generation of steam could proceed. Tephra finger jetting explosions continued to build the crater rims, then remove water from the vent that their deposits flowed like slsurries until the continuous uprush explosion ensued. Continuous uprush explosions were associated with most rapid accumula-tion of tephra. The increasing volume rate led to partial removal of water from the vent area by the newly tephra ring so that more vigorous activity could be attended by a reducing water supply. This might restrain surplus of cold water entering the vent and thus enhance the vigour of the eruption by allowing optimal heat exchange. Eventually the crater became so deep and unsuported that piecemeal sliding, or massive subsidence on indipping ring faults, filled and closed the vent, and the cycle of explosions and collapse began anew.
