  • The NSDI concept has changed with the development of the NSDI. While the NSDI was initially established as a separate entity, recently more attention has been given to the SDI hierarchy, from a local level to a global level. As an advanced NSDI, the USA, the UK and Canada emphasize more on better citizen services through an e-Government GIS portal such as the USA's Geospatial One-Stop. This study hypothesizes that the characteristics of NSDIs can be different from each nation in terms of vision, structure, evolution stages and a degree of integration with the e-Government. Rather than to describe differences just fur comparison, more characteristics of NSDIs are identified and the comparisons are developed as recommendations for the future NGIS(National Geographic Information System) in Korea.

  • 유수의 침식과 퇴적작용은 지형의 변화를 일으키며, 이런 지형변화는 하천 흐름, 지하수 흐름 등의 변화를 가져오며 이는 다시 지형변화의 원인이 된다. 이런 일련의 과정이 되풀이되는 것을 지형발달이라 하며, 이는 수문 현상에도 지대한 영향을 미친다. 지형발달의 주요 인자에는 강우와 지반 융기 등이 있으며 각 주요 인자들은 복합적으로 지형발달에 영향을 준다. 하지만 지형발달 탐구 시 실제 지형을 대상으로 탐구하기에는 한계가 분명히 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 컴퓨터를 이용해 수식을 계산하여 수치적으로 지형발달을 모의하는 모형을 이용하여, 지형발달에 영향을 주는 강우와 지반 융기를 중점적으로 탐구하였다. 지형발달모형을 이용하면 더욱 다양한 관점에서 지형발달과정의 역동성을 파악하는 새로운 시도들이 가능하다. 특히 특정 환경 조건에서의 논리적인 지형의 반응을 통한 해석이 가능해져, 환경 변화로 어떠한 지형변화 또는 지표물질 수지 변화가 있을지를 예측할 수 있다(변종민, 2011). 또한, 지형발달 일련의 과정들을 살펴볼 수 있기 때문에 시 공간적 제약에서 벗어날 수 있다. 그러므로 지형발달모형은 강우와 융기 조건에 따른 지형발달을 모의하기에 적합하다. 본 연구는 LEGS을 이용하여 강우와 융기 조건에 따른 지형발달 모의를 진행하였다. LEGS는 지표수의 흐름을 탐색하는 방법으로 GD8을 이용한 물리 기반의 수치적 지형발달모형이다(Paik, 2012). 본 연구에서는 강우의 변동과 융기 조건의 변화가 지형발달에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것을 발견하였다. 특히, 유역의 표고차이 등과 같은 정량적인 지표의 변화에 주목하여 각종 분석을 하고, 물리적 원인을 고찰하였다.

  • 한 지점의 수문 반응을 결정짓는 주요 인자 중의 하나는 유역의 형상과 유역 내 하계망 구조이다. 유역의 형상과 하계망 구조는 지질시간 규모에 걸쳐 서서히 형성된 것으로, 주로 지반운동, 암석 및 지질구조, 그리고 이에 대응하는 지표 침식 정도에 의해 결정된다. 따라서, 암석 및 지질구조가 균질하다면, 유역의 특성은 지반운동과 지표 침식에 의해 좌우될 것이다. 본 연구는 지반운동의 시간적인 분포가 서로 다른 조건일 때 유역 특성이 각각 어떠한지를 수치지형발달모형(numerical landscape evolution model)을 이용한 모의실험을 통해 이론적으로 탐색해보았다. 구체적으로 모의 기간 동안의 총 지반융기량은 동일하더라도, 융기율이 전 기간동안 동일한 조건, 융기율이 특정 시점에 집중되는 조건, 그리고 융기율이 높았던 때와 낮았던 때가 반복되는 조건 등 세가지 시나리오를 실험하였다. 각 조건에 대해, 유역 형상과 하계망 구조는 어떻게 형성되는지를 살펴본 것이다. 모의결과 유역의 형태와 하계망 구조는 총융기량보다는 융기율의 시간 분포에 결정적인 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 융기율의 시간분포는 유역의 전반적인 경사(하천 종단의 요형도)와 충적하상 및 기반암하상 하도의 분포 등에 큰 영향을 주었다.

  • Mekong River is the world's $10^{th}$ longest river and runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. And Tonle Sap Lake, the largest fresh water body in Southeast Asia and the heart of Mekong River system, covers an area $2,500-3,000Km^2$ in dry season and $10,000-16,000Km^2$ in wet season. As previously noted, the water within Sap river flows from the Mekong River to Tonle Sap Lake in flood season (between June and October) and backward to Mekong River in dry season. Recently the flow regime of Sap River might be significantly affected by the development of large dams in upstream region of Mekong River. This paper aims at basic study about the large scale flood inundation of Cambodia using by CAESAR-Lisflood. CAESAR-Lisflood is a geomorphologic / Landscape evolution model that combines the Lisflood-FP 2d hydrodynamic flow model (Bates et al, 2010) with the CAESAR geomorphic model to simulate flow hydrograph and erosion/deposition in river catchments and reaches over time scales from hours to 1000's of years. This model is based on the simplified full Saint-Venant Equation so that it can simulate the interacted flow of between Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake especially focusing on the flow direction change of Sap River by season.

  • The contemporary South Korean landscape is characterised by a massive display of modern apartment buildings. They are omnipresent in their monotonous manifestation and represent the dream of the Korean population. Serial mass housing is a typology that has had a great diffusion all over the world, but how has modern housing developed in South Korea? To this end, what are the resulting local adaptations?. This paper retraces these key evolutional aspects. Methodologically, it draws on a scholarly literature review as well as on-site photographic surveys, developed in connection with an educational program at the Korea Tech University. The result is the analysis of both the urban and architectural transformation from the early modernisation period to the present condition of contemporary housing. A historical background introduces Korean traditional urban houses, to be used as a context to describe the contemporary modern city that has developed since the 1960s. The main emphasis is then placed on the urbanisation process that fully matured during the 1980s together with a focus on the mass housing typology as the main pivot in the urban transformation. Finally, the paper will draw a parallel between modern Western theories and Korean applications.

  • Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a critical indicator of soil fertility. Its importance in maintaining ecological balance has received widespread attention. However, global temperatures have risen by 0.8℃ since the late 1800s due to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in severe disruptions in SOC dynamics. To study the impacts of temperature variations on SOC and soil respiration, we used the Soil Carbon and Landscape co-Evolution (SCALE) model, which was capable of estimating the spatial distribution of soil carbon dynamics. The study site was located at Heshan Farm (125°20'10.5"E, 49°00'23.1"N), Nenjiang County in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China. We validated the model using observed soil organic carbon and soil respiration in 2015 and achieved excellent agreement between observed and modeled variables. Our results showed considerable influences of temperature increases on SOC and soil respiration rates at both erosion and deposition areas. In particular, changes in SOC and soil respiration at the deposition area were greater than at the erosion area. Our study highlights that the impacts of temperature elevations are considerably dependent on soil erosion and deposition processes. Thus, it is important to implement effective soil conservation strategies to maintain soil fertility under global warming.

  • With the rapid evolution of diagnostic tools, particularly next-generation sequencing, the identification of genetic diseases, predominantly those with pediatric-onset, has significantly advanced. However, this progress presents challenges that span from selecting appropriate tests to the final interpretation of results. This review examines various genetic testing methodologies, each with specific indications and characteristics, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate genetic test in clinical practice, taking into account factors like detection range, cost, turnaround time, and specificity of the clinical diagnosis. Interpretation of variants has become more challenging, often requiring further validation and significant resource allocation. Laboratories primarily classify variants based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Clinical Genomic Science guidelines, however, this process has limitations. This review underscores the critical role of clinicians in matching patient phenotypes with reported genes/variants and considering additional factors such as variable expressivity, disease pleiotropy, and incomplete penetrance. These considerations should be aligned with specific gene-disease characteristics and segregation results based on an extended pedigree. In conclusion, this review aims to enhance understanding of the complexities of clinical genetic testing, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management of rare genetic diseases.

  • Coastline changes evolution of different intensities at all times under the influence of natural and anthropogenic effects. In this paper, we extracted the coastline of the Tumen River estuary from 1985 to 2020 using the digitizing method, verified the accuracy using the visual interpretation results, and analyzed the changes of the coastline of the Tumen River estuary through the area method and the baseline method. The results showed that the coastline showed an erosion trend during 35 years, with an average erosion rate of 0.05 m/year, an average erosion distance of 3.06 m, and an erosion area of 19.25 ha. Among the human activities that retarded the erosion of the coastline, these activities had a long-term impact on the natural morphology of the coastline.
