IAVCEI CEV-CVS field workshop： Phreatomagmatic volcanoes of Jeju Island, Korea

A scientific field workshop sponsored by two commissions （Commission on Explosive Volcanism -- CEV and Commission on Vol- canogenic Sediments-CVS） of the Interna- tional Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth Interior （IAVCEI） took place in Jeju Island, South Korea from 13-17 November 2007. This was organised by Prof. Dr. Young Kwan Sohn （Gyeongsan National University, Jinju） and Dr. Ki Hwa Park （Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources, Daejon）.

Historical Changes and Characteristics of Rehabilitation, Management and Utilization of Forest Resources in South Korea

This study analyzed the causes of forest devastation, the characteristics of forest rehabilitation process, and the success factors of reforestation. And it reviewed the management of rehabilitated forest resources and identified the income sources of mountain villages in South Korea. The devastation of forest starting from the early twentieth century was continued to the 1950＇s. The main causes of deforestation were the illegal cutting of trees for fuel and the slash-and-burning agriculture in forest. The success factors of reforestation were the decrease in the dependence on forest of fuel source, strict administration system and national participation. Sustainable forest management could be made possible through the practical use of social issues like public work project for prevention of landslide damages caused by the thinned logs left in the forest. Also it could be possible by making people realize that the public benefit was obtained from forest and the income sources of mountain villages were supplemented by non-timber forest products and tourism. Food and Agriculture Organization indicated Korea as the country that forestation was succeeded in a very short period. Korea seems to be not ordinary because economic growth was accomplished with rehabilitating natural environment. Korean forestation can become a good prototype of combining environmental rehabilitation and economic development.     

Regional Distribution of Perceived Temperatures Estimated by the Human Heat Budget Model （the Klima-Michel Model） in South Korea

The regional distribution of perceived temperatures (PT) for 28 major weather stations in South Korea during the past 22 years (1983–2004) was investigated by employing a human heat budget model, the Klima-Michel model. The frequencies of a cold stress and a heat load by each region were compared. The sensitivity of PT in terms of the input of synoptic meteorological variables were successfully tested. Seogwipo in Jeju Island appears to be the most comfortable city in Korea. Busan also shows a high frequenc...     

Ternary forecast of heavy snowfall in the Honam area,Korea

The objective of this study is to improve the statistical modeling for the ternary forecast of heavy snowfall in the Honam area in Korea. The ternary forecast of heavy snowfall consists of one of three values, 0 for less than 50 mm, 1 for an advisory (50–150 mm), and 2 for a warning (more than 150 mm). For our study, the observed daily snow amounts and the numerical model outputs for 45 synoptic factors at 17 stations in the Honam area during 5 years (2001 to 2005) are used as observations and potential pre...

韩国南极国家行动:动因、举措及策略

南极地区位于地球的最南端,其独特的地理位置和自然环境一方面推迟了人类对其争夺和改造,另一方面也积累和形成了特殊的资源储量和战略价值。在物质资源日益匮乏的今天,南极作为尚待开发的新边疆,其战略意义日渐突显。韩国在南极有着广泛而特殊的利益,为了实现这些利益,改变后发参与的不利局面,韩国在南极科研、政治、经济等领域采取了诸多积极举措,并且形成了一套灵活务实的策略。随着国内外形势的发展,韩国未来将制定正式的南极政策文件,在原有实践基础上加大参与力度,并充分发挥企业的支援作用,实现国内优势向国家能力的转换,从而更好地推进其南极战略。     

韩国的深海底矿物勘探

韩国因国内陆地资源贫乏,故一直在寻求稳定的战略矿物资源的补充来源。对海外矿物供应的依赖和本国资源蕴藏的不足已暴露出韩国经济承受偶发性外部冲击的脆弱性。为了解决这些基本问题,韩国政府已把深海采矿业看     

Statistical prediction of heavy rain in South Korea

1. Introduction In recent decades, extreme weather events seem to be growing in frequency and risk due to water-related disasters. According to the World Meteorological Or- ganization report (ISDR and WMO, 2004) on World Water Day, 22 March 2004, the economic losses caused by water-related disasters, including floods, droughts and tropical cyclones, are on an increasing trend as follows: the yearly mean in the 1970s was about 131 billion US dollars, 204 billion dollars in the 1980s, and …     

韩国海洋机构与战略变化及对我国影响浅析

韩国海洋机构经历了综合、分散到集中综合管理的发展过程,海洋综合管理能力和海上控制力量逐步加强,而且随着各个阶段韩国海洋发展战略的提出并得到逐步实施,其海洋技术和海洋产业也得到了长足发展,有力地促进了韩国海洋开发和海洋产业体系形成,为韩国经济的高速发展提供了坚实的基础,同时也为我国海洋机构调整提供了借鉴。由于韩国海洋经济发展增强了其海洋扩张能力和步伐,对我国海洋权益维护和海洋经济发展等方面都带来一定程度的影响,我国应借鉴韩国强化海洋机构和制定实施海洋战略促进海洋开发和海洋经济发展等方面的经验,提高海洋意识,构建现代海洋观念,加快海洋综合管理机构建立,制定实施海洋发展战略。
