On February 18, 2025, master’s student Ha-eun Lee successfully presented her thesis work, “Classification of Colluvial Channels in a Mountain River: A Case Study of the ‘Seoul National University Sabang Check Dam’ Catchment in Mt. Gwanak (산지 하천의 붕적하도 분류: 관악산 ‘서울대학교 사방댐’ 유역을 대상으로),” at the 2025 Winter Conference of the Korean Geomorphological Association. Great job!
On December 14, 2024, Ph.D. candidate Seungwoo Ha presented his recent work “Possibilities for Utilizing Tangible User Interfaces in Everyday Place- Based Landform Education (일상 공간 중심 지형교육에서 실감형 사용자 인터페이스의 활용 가능성)”
On Dec. 9, 2024, we held our Zoom meeting to listen to the rehearsal of doctoral student Seungwoo for his presentation at the 2024 Winter Conference of the Korean Association for Geographical and Environmental Education (한국지리환경교육학회). It was also our last lab meeting of the year. Thank you all for your hard work!
On Oct. 30, 2024, I presented my recent research “The Physical Nature of Headwater Catchment Landscape in Mountainous Regions” conducted with Dr. Hui Chen, who is now at the Guangzhou Institute of Geography, Guangdong Academy of Sciences, at a seminar hosted by the Department of Soil, Water, and Climate in the University of Minnesota. It was the first presentation in English in my life that lasted over an hour, and I found it challenging toward the end^^.
n Sep, 27, 2024, doctoral student Seungwoo Ha set up the Tangible Landscape (실감형 경관) in his class to enhance students’ understanding of geomorphology in their everyday life space. Particularly, he utilized both the contour and flow accumulation tools within the Tangible Landscape.
On July 12–13, 2024, graduate students Hui Chen, Juyeon Kim, and Ha-eun Lee took a field trip to investigate the morphology and surface materials of several headwater catchments in Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-province.
On June 28–29, 2024, Prof. Kyungsoo Yoo (Dept. of Soil, Water, and Climate, University of Minnesota), Ph.D. student Juyeon, and I conducted a field trip around Jeongseon-gun and Daegwanryeong-myeon to observe soil characteristics primarily influenced by lithology and their associated erosion.
On June, 7, 2024, graduate students and I conducted a field trip to the Daegwanryeong Samyang Ranch (대관령 삼양목장) to collect samples for exposure age dating.
