Alpensia Sliding Centre Invitation PyeongChang, Republic of Korea · 2nd International Training Period (ITP) : 21 October–29 October 2017 The Overview of PyeongChang General Information of Korea, Gangwon & PyeongChang Korea (officially the "Republic of Korea") is a historical state in Northeast Asia located on the Korean Peninsula, which is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast. It is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait and the East Sea. The southern and western parts of the peninsula have well-developed plains, while the eastern and northern parts are mountainous. The population of the Koreans is about 50 million. Korea is chiefly populated by a highly homogeneous ethnic group, the Koreans, who speak the Korean language. Gangwon-do is a mountainous province, (a much greater part is occupied by mountains) and is usually divided into two areas, Yeongdong and Yeongseo, with the Taebaek Mountains, which form the backbone of the Korean Peninsula, in the middle. PyeongChang is a county located in mid-southern region of Gangwon Province, Korea. Being located inland on a plateau, PyeongChang presents a continental climate with big temperature swings between day and night, with overall lower temperature compared to other regions of same altitude. Having a relatively large area among Counties, it presents complicated weather patterns, and different weather conditions even within the same region. The high-altitude region in northeast part of the county presents a very distinctive weather pattern. It is relatively cool in the summer, with average temperature of 19.1 ℃, but comes under heavy snowfall during the winter, due to Northeastern airstream risen by the Taebaek Mountains.

  • The Mission to North Korea Ben Torrey
    The Mission to North Korea Ben Torrey The article that follows this one is unusual for the depth of insight and direct experience with which its author writes on the religious psychology of North Korea. Ben Torrey has put readers of the INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN OF MISSIONARY RESEARCH in his debt both by editing George Kap-Hun Kim’s translation of Hyun-Sik Kim’s article and by supplying an introduction that situates Kim’s life and work within the wider context of mission to North Korea. Torrey himself grew up in South Korea, where he joined with his parents in pioneering Jesus Abbey, a community of prayer high in the Taebaek Mountains of Kangwon Do. Following graduation from college in the United States, he directed a community service organization for over two years and then, with his wife, Liz, spent a year in Korea at Jesus Abbey. Upon returning to the United States for the second time, the Torreys settled in Connecticut, where Ben served as a self-support- ing pastor with the Evangelical Apostolic Church of North America while working in the fields of computer systems development and knowledge management. Seeing the need for the church and South Korean society to prepare properly for the inevitable opening of North Korea, Torrey, in conjunction with Jesus Abbey, began the Fourth River Project in 2003. He was also given responsibility to direct Jesus Abbey’s Three Seas Training Center. The Torreys returned to Korea in October 2005 in order to pursue this work full time.—Editor he Democratic People’s Republic of Korea—North owned private businesses operating with permission of the TKorea—presents us with a great missiological challenge.

  • Military Transformation on the Korean Peninsula: Technology Versus Geography
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Military Transformation on the Korean Peninsula: Technology Versus Geography Being a Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Hull By Soon Ho Lee BA, Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea, 2004 MA, The University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2005 MRes, King’s College London, United Kingdom, 2006 1 Acknowledgement I am the most grateful to my Supervisor Dr. David Lonsdale for his valuable academic advice and support during the long PhD journey. To reach this stage, I have had invaluable support from my family back in Korea and my dear wife Jin Heon. I would also like to thank my family for being so patient while I was researching. During this journey, I have obtained a precious jewel in my daughter, Da Hyeon. I will pray for you all my life. I would like to give special thanks to my late grandfather who gave me the greatest love, and taught me the importance of family. 2 Thesis Summary This thesis provides an explanation of one RMA issue: the effectiveness of contemporary military technology against tough geography, based upon case studies in the Korean peninsula. The originality of the thesis is that it will provide a sound insight for potential foes’ approach to the dominant US military power (superior technology and sustenance of war). The North Korean defence strategy – using their edge in geography and skill – tried to protect themselves from the dominant US power, but it may be impossible to deter or defeat them with technological superiority alone.

    Population Genetic Structure of Wild Boar And Dispersal Performance Based On Kinship Analysis In The Northern Region of South Korea Seung Woo Han ( [email protected] ) Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7148-4087 Han Chan Park Yeongnam Daehakgyo: Yeungnam University Jee Hyun Kim Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine Jae Hwa Suh NIBR: National Institute of Biological Resources Hang Lee Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine Mi Sook Min Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine Research Article Keywords: Wild boar, Microsatellites, Population Genetics, Dispersal, Kinship Analysis, Conservation Genetics Posted Date: May 7th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-368091/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/16 Abstract Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is one of the most challenging mammalian species to manage in the wild because of its high reproductive rate, population density, and lack of predators in much of its range. A recent outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) and the transmission into domestic pigs in commercial farms empower the necessity of establishing management strategies of the wild boar population in the northern region of South Korea. A population genetic study, including the dispersal distance estimation of wild boars, is required to prepare ne-scale population management strategies in the region. In this study, both population structure analysis and dispersal distance estimation based on kinship were conducted using 13 microsatellite markers. The results revealed a high level of genetic diversity compared to a previous study.

Snowfall in north-eastern part of South Korea is the result of complex snowfall mechanisms due to a highly- contrasting terrain combined with nearby warm waters and three synoptic pressure patterns. All these factors together create unique combinations, whose disentangling can provide new insights into the microphysics of snow in the planet. This study focuses on the impact of wind flow and topography on the microphysics drawing of twenty snowfall events during the ICE-POP 5 2018 (International Collaborative Experiment for Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic winter games) field campaign in the Gangwon region. The vertical structure of precipitation and size distribution characteristics are investigated with collo- cated MRR (Micro Rain Radar) and PARSIVEL (PARticle SIze VELocity) disdrometers installed across the mountain range. The results indicate that wind shear and embedded turbulence were the cause of the riming process dominating the mountain- ous region. As the strength of these processes weaken from the mountainous region to the coastal region, riming became less 10 significant and gave way to aggregation.

Snowfall in north-eastern part of South Korea is the result of complex snowfall mechanisms due to a highly- contrasting terrain combined with nearby warm waters and three synoptic pressure patterns. All these factors together create unique combinations, whose disentangling can provide new insights into the microphysics of snow in the planet. This study focuses on the impact of wind flow and topography on the microphysics drawing of twenty snowfall events during the ICE-POP 5 2018 (International Collaborative Experiment for Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic winter games) field campaign in the Gangwon region. The vertical structure of precipitation and size distribution characteristics are investigated with collo- cated MRR (Micro Rain Radar) and PARSIVEL (PARticle SIze VELocity) disdrometers installed across the mountain range. The results indicate that wind shear and embedded turbulence were the cause of the riming process dominating the mountain- ous region. As the strength of these processes weaken from the mountainous region to the coastal region, riming became less 10 significant and gave way to aggregation.
