미국에서의 지형학과 수문지리학의 최근 연구동향 = Recent Research Trends in American Geomorphology and Hydrogeography

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 최근 3년간(2002~2004년) 미국 지리학대회와 두 개의 미국 지리학회지에 발표된 논문 중 지형학과 수문지리학 분야의 논문을 검토하여 최신 연구동향을 파악하고, 미래의 한국 지리학계를 이끌어 나갈 신진 연구자들에게 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 지리학대회에 발표된 지형학 논문 437편 중 하천지형학이 전체의 40%를 차지하여 가장 많고 환경지형, 빙하·주빙하지형의 순으로 논문이 많이 발표되었다. 수문지리학에서는 총 452편의 논문 중 법제도적 측면의 연구가 20%로 가장 많고, 수문지형학, 수문모델 순으로 논문이 많이 발표되었다. 미국 지리학회지에는 총 21편의 논문이 게재되었으며, 하천/수문 환경을 연구한 논문이 압도적으로 많았다. 연구방법으로 GIS를 이용한 논문은 지형학이 전체의 29%, 수문지리학이 35%로 조사되었다. 이는 연구방법으로 GIS 뿐만 아니라 지리통계방법이나 필드조사, 정성적 방법 등이 함께 이용되고 있음을 나타낸다. 이러한 방법론적인 다양성은 종합 하천유역관리와 같은 복합적인 환경문제의 해결과 관련된 것으로 보이며, 지형학자와 수문지리학자들이 전통적인 영역을 초월하여 인간-환경지리학자, 인문지리학자들과의 연계를 강화하려는 노력의 일환으로 해석할 수 있다. 지형학자와 수문지리학자들은 당면한 또는 앞으로 다가올 환경문제의 원인을 구명하고 이를 해결하려는 노력을 계속할 것으로 예상된다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We examined research trends in geomorphology and hydrogeography in America based on papers presented at the annual meetings of the Association of American Geographers(AAG) and papers published in two AAG journals between 2002 and 2004. Among the 437 papers in geomorphology, 40% of the papers concerned fluvial geomorphology, followed by environmental geomorphology and glacial and periglacial geomorphology concern. Among the 452 papers in hydrogeography, about 20% of the papers focused on water, law and institutional aspects, followed by hydrogeomorphology and hydrologic modeling. Twenty one papers examining geomorphology and hydeogeography were published in two AAG journals, and fluvial geomorpholoy was the dominant theme. GIS was used for 29% papers in geomorphology and 35% of papers in hydrogeography(35%), suggesting that other methods, including geostatistics, field survey, and qualitative methods, are employed as well. This methodological diversification seems to be associated with solving such complex environmental problems as integrated watershed management and implies that geomorphologists and hydrogeographers are expanding their traditional territories and are making close connections with humanenvironment geographers and human geographers. Geomorphologists and hydrogeographers are likely to continue examining the causes of and solving environmental problems that humans are currently facing and might face in the future.
