  1. Republic of Korea and IIASA Highlights (2008-2014) June 2014

  2. CONTENTS • Summary • National Member Organization • Some Leading Korean Personalities Associated with IIASA • Research Partners • Research Collaborations: Selected Highlights • Capacity Building • Further Information

  3. SUMMARY (2008-2014)

  4. NATIONAL MEMBER ORGANIZATION • National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) • Professor Min Keun Chung, President of NRF, is the IIASA Council Member for Korea • The Director of NRF’s Center for International Affairs, Dr. Soon-Ro Cho, is the NMO Secretary for Korea

  5. SOME LEADING PERSONALITIES IN KOREA AND ASSOCIATED WITH IIASA Jong-Guk Song JoonSik Lee Soogil Young Seung-JickYoo

  6. RESEARCH PARTNERS • 17 institutions in Korea, including: • Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center of Korea (GIR) • Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) • Korea Forest Research Institute (KFRI) • Korea University • Konkuk University (KU) • Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport • National Institute of Environmental Research of Korea (NIER) • Pukyong National University • Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI) • Seoul National University

  7. RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS Selected Highlights: • Six shocks and Korea • GAINS-KOREA • Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage • Water Futures and Solutions • Projecting changing population in Korea • Shrinking Korean Chum Salmon

  8. SIX SHOCKS AND KOREALow probability but high impact events

  9. SIX SHOCKS AND KOREAPrioritizing policies that maximize resilience

  10. GAINS – KOREA Impact Map in GAINS-Korea Prototype (PM2.5) Year 2010 Year 2030

  11. Activities • Source classifications of CAPSS mapping to gains sectors • Fuel mapping between CAPSS and GAINS Emission factors Source and Fuel mapping Calculate activities by GAINS sectors BUILDING GAINS-KOREA Energy & Mobile :Powerplant, industry, domestic, road and non-road transportations From CAPSS : Uncontrolled emission factors from CAPSS for all sectors except VOCs Industry process : Industry process (part) and fugitive dust except agriculture From GAINS : Solvent use for VOC sectors VOC - Solvents use(reversely calculated using GAINS emission factors) and industry process (part) Calculate weighted average of emission factors by detailed SCC of CAPSS Emission factors Activities Agriculture - Agriculture and fugitive dust of agriculture GAINS-Korea Tech. Penetration Control Efficiency Calculate technologies penetration - Technologies mapping between CAPSS and GAINS Technology mapping Use GAINS control efficiency according to technology mapping

  12. BIOENERGY WITH CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (BECCS) • Optimal location of green-field biomass plants (20 MW) in Korea • Red shows bioenergy plants without carbon capture and storage • Blue indicates BECCS unit locations on a light yellow background (geologically suitable formation for capture and storage of carbon). Source: Kraxner F, Aoki K, Leduc S, Kindermann G, Fuss S, Yang J, Yamagata Y, Tak K & Obersteiner M (2014). BECCS in South Korea - Analyzing the negative emissions potential of bioenergy as a mitigation tool. Renewable Energy, 61:102-108

  13. WATER FUTURES AND SOLUTIONS An integrated analysis of global water challenges and solutions Founding Partners: Results to be published at:

  14. PROJECTING CHANGING POPULATION IN KOREA

  15. PROJECTING CHANGING POPULATION IN KOREACONVENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

  16. PROJECTING CHANGING POPULATION IN KOREACONVENTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

  17. PROJECTING CHANGING POPULATION IN KOREA

  18. PROJECTING CHANGING POPULATION IN KOREAFRAGMENTATION

  19. PROJECTING CHANGING POPULATION IN KOREAFRAGMENTATION

  20. SHRINKING KOREAN CHUM SALMON • Changing environmental conditions (commercial fishing, climatic change) are changing the traits of fish (growth and size at maturation) • ~ 30 case studies including Korean Chum Salmon • Implications for future size of fish stocks, and that evolutionary changes can take a long time to reverse Urbach D, Kang M, Kang S, Seong KB, Kim S, Dieckmann U & Heino M (2012). Growth and maturation of Korean chum salmon under changing environmental conditions. Fisheries Research, 134-136:104-112

  21. CAPACITY BUILDING • 11 doctoral students from Korea have won places on IIASA’s Young Scientists Summer Program since 2008.

  22. CAPACITY BUILDING Southern-African Young Scientist Summer Program: (SA-YSSP) • Kyeongah Nah (SA-YSSP ’12-’13 & University of Szeged), a Korean national, developed a model for predicting malaria incubation times under latitudinal and climate-induced changes in season lengths.
