The Pohang Maritime Police Station in North Gyeongsang Province said at 1 p.m on the 5th that a minke whale was caught in fishing boat A (7.93t class) which was working on the sea about 3.7km east of Homigot Lecturer in Nam-gu The mixed minke whale measured 7m 67cm in length and 4m in circumference and was known to be a female after requesting the Whale Research Center of the National Institute of Fisheries Science "I reported that a minke whale was wrapped in a barrel rope and died while working on a barrel net in the relevant sea area." The Coast Guard issued a "calf handling certificate" to Captain A because no signs of illegal capture were found and the mixed whale was sold at 76.19 million won at the Homigot Fisheries Cooperative those who illegally capture whales face up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 30 million won ※ This service is provided by machine translation tool OneFootball's home page Search Settings

RedemptionFC Seoul travels to the historic Pohang Steelyard on Saturday as both teams look to bounce back from recent setbacks in the K League 1 The Round 10 fixture pits ninth-placed Pohang Steelers against a Seoul side sitting in sixth with both teams desperate to find consistency as the season approaches its midpoint Pohang's inconsistency has been their defining characteristic this season and three losses perfectly illustrating their up-and-down campaign Their most recent outing saw them fall 2-0 away to Jeju United ending a six-game unbeaten run that had shown promise and two losses placing them three spots higher in the table Kim Gi-Dong's men are winless in their last two matches most recently suffering a 2-1 home defeat to high-flying Gwangju FC despite a late Jesse Lingard goal FC Seoul's preparations have been complicated by Jesse Lingard's brief return to the UK for family matters though the English midfielder is expected back in time for Saturday's clash His availability will be crucial for Seoul especially with midfield stalwarts Ki Sung-Yueng and Jeong Seung-Won both sidelined for 1-2 months with injuries Pohang manager Park Tae-Ha has dealt with significant squad turnover this season which has contributed to their inconsistent results Veterans Shin Kwang-Hoon and Baek Sung-Dong provide experience in a team still searching for its identity while Brazilian Juninho Rocha has integrated well since his January arrival from Asan Mugunghwa Seoul's defensive reinforcements have been a bright spot this season while Yazan Alarab has earned the nickname "Seoul's Wall" for his commanding performances in central defense The visitors will likely rely on Lingard's creativity and Lucas Silva's threat in the final third though their midfield absences could prove problematic against Pohang's experienced central unit of Oberdan Alionço and Baek Sung-Dong Pohang typically employ quick transitions and wing play at home Their recent 2-1 win over FC Anyang at the Steelyard demonstrated their ability to perform in front of their own fans making this a potentially tricky fixture for Seoul This match presents a fascinating contrast between Seoul's more settled squad and defensive solidity against Pohang's home advantage and desperation to climb the table Seoul's midfield injuries could prove decisive potentially neutralizing their usual control in the middle of the park Pohang's home form gives them a slight edge but Seoul's resilience – evidenced by their four draws this season – suggests they won't be easily beaten competitive

which enables ultra-high-resolution seismic surveys on a smaller survey scale The region is renowned for abundant shallow gas deposits and faults Based on acoustic impedance contrast and abnormal behavior observations two seismic anomalies termed channel and polka-dot anomalies have been identified in the seismic volume Seismic attribute analysis based on the signal amplitude and structural characteristics reveals that these anomalies correspond to shallow biogenic gas deposits Structural interpretation of the seismic volume revealed that the contractional deformation resulting from post-Miocene neotectonics has resulted in uplift and reverse faulting in the Pohang region contributing to the formation of anomalies The channel anomalies correspond to gas-saturated tidal channels that formed during eustatic sea-level changes in the post-Last Glacial Maximum period The polka-dot anomalies are located in topographic lows and are overlain by neotectonic sediment The different behaviors of these anomalies in a seismic volume can be attributed to the different thicknesses of overburden overlying each of the anomalies and the understanding of Quaternary structures and their geological implications in the coastal region of the southeastern Korean Peninsula is relatively insufficient due to lack of 3D (three-dimensional) seismic data with promising quality and 3D interpretation of the region a conventional 3D seismic survey cannot be employed in Yeongil Bay the small-scale seismic volume obtained by the EOS3D survey performed in Yeongil Bay revealed that the region contains features that can aid in the structural interpretation of the regional geology of the coastal region of the southeastern Korean Peninsula: seismic anomalies Each of these anomalies can be used as a direct or indirect indication of the possible presence of hydrocarbon resources Seismic anomalies can also help interpret the evolution of regional geology by providing valid reference points Based on the 3D seismic volume obtained from the EOS system this study aims to analyze the physical characteristics of the seismic anomalies based on the seismic attribute analysis of said anomalies and the history of the regional geology of the East Sea the interpretation of the coastal region of the southeastern Korean Peninsula is performed to specify the geological process that resulted in the formation of said anomalies in respect to the East Sea formation this study aims to provide a geological reference by the characterization of seismic anomalies in different regions in the world with similar physical behavior but also the comprehension of the East Sea formation and the neotectonic regime which has been identified as one of the major driving factors in the deformation of the East Sea and the southeastern Korean Peninsula to provide insight into the contractional deformation process of the post-rift back-arc formation the region of study has been subjected to various geophysical surveys in recent years with the objectives of hydrocarbon prospecting and identification of potential candidates for CO2 sequestration shallow faults and folds due to contractional deformation are abundant in the region of study The processing workflow is divided into two major stages: individual trace processing and stacked cube generation debubbling is applied to remove the bubbling effect from the gas bubbles produced by an airgun These bubbles oscillate and produce subsequent pulses that result in source-generated noise This process is carried out by performing source estimation in order to extract the waveform followed by deterministic deconvolution After eliminating bubble effects from the extracted waveform a convolution was applied to obtain de-bubbled data traces with larger offsets are stretched in a time-varying manner causing their frequency content to shift toward the lower end of the spectrum seismic attributes describe seismic data from different points of view according to the interpretation objective by decomposing the seismic data into attributes Seismic attributes record information from prestack and poststack data Since the data already underwent a stacking process poststack attributes are used in this study Poststack attributes treat seismic data as images of the subsurface of the Earth Among the countless seismic attributes considered in this study several attributes are chosen based on their ability to highlight possible hydrocarbon deposits The attributes are divided into two criteria based on their objective: geophysical and geological The following section provides a conceptual explanation of seismic attributes Geophysical attributes used in this study highlight the characteristics of the data itself Envelope The envelope is an amplitude measure that envelops the seismic trace The envelope is a representation of the amplitude \(E(t)\) of an oscillatory function \(f(t)\) The envelope is independent of the phase or polarity The envelope can be represented as a complex-valued function \(S(t)\) as follows: Displaying the sweetness of the data reduces the contribution of high-frequency events Regions of higher amplitudes and lower frequencies sediments with lower amplitudes and higher frequencies This characteristic is particularly advantageous when identifying gas reservoirs which are examples of high-amplitude gas reservoirs This approach highlights the position of reflector distortion This distortion may be due to various factors ranging from fractures to gas deposits Chaos attributes are often utilized for identifying channel infill chaos attributes are used to highlight the signal distortion beneath anomalies which means that it produces the same response for the same seismic signature in both low- and high-amplitude regions Authors must ensure that their Methods section includes adequate experimental and characterization data necessary for others in the field to reproduce their work which indicate paleochannels in the region; hence the identification of polka-dot anomalies based on attribute analysis will be provided in the later section Further discussion on these incisions is provided in a later section this candidate was eliminated since there is no evidence of carbonate deposits on the eastern Korean Peninsula and since the acoustic impedance does not match that of the polka-dot anomaly the diameter of pinnacle reefs often reaches a few hundred meters which is much greater than the size range of the polka-dot anomaly in this study The size of the dolines ranges up to a few tens of meters which is similar to the size of the polka-dot anomaly there is no sedimentary evidence on the eastern continental margin of the Korean Peninsula indicating karst formation; hence This candidate was eliminated since the sizes of the concretions (a few centimeters to a few meters) do not match the dimensions of the polka-dot anomalies the phase behavior observed in the data indicates that the acoustic impedance of the polka-dot anomalies is lower than that of the surrounding material which would not be true if they were concretions since precipitated minerals almost always result in greater acoustic impedance than the surrounding material Illustration of the EOS-streamer operated on a 40-ton vessel with a single unit of 10 in3 airgun source.

This figure was generated using the Adobe Illustrator software (https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html) and therefore cannot be explained by contractional deformation in the late middle Miocene From the multiattribute analysis performed in the previous section we have identified the physical characteristics of the seismic anomalies the formation of channel and polka-dot anomalies are investigated with respect to the context of the post-rifting contractional deformation of the East Sea This indicates the anomalies have been formed due to the geological process that took place in the post-Miocene era Considering that channel anomalies are constrained in the uplifted region of the study area and the channel anomalies resemble that of the tidal channel we suggest that the post-Miocene contractional force must have been present so that the formation could be uplifted and exposed to the tidal environment The overburden of the polka-dot anomalies can also be explained by this phenomenon since the overburden consists of post-neotectonic deposits Based on the fact that the channel anomalies are dendritic into the structural high and considering the current sea level of the region we can also propose that the region had undergone a sea level drop after the uplifting Detailed descriptions of these geological processes are provided in the following sections This feature is not found in the polka-dot anomalies This can be attributed to the difference in overburden on each anomaly A channel anomaly is located within the structural high region which has been uplifted by neotectonics and consequently eroded These processes led to a decrease in the overburden pressure and hence the easier leakage of shallow gas the polka-dot anomalies are located in the region of the topographic low This region has thicker sediments than the region containing a channel anomaly The heavier overburden pressure suppressed the escape of shallow gas from the reservoir some of the gas leaked into the overlying formation 3D shallow water seismic data was acquired by the EOS streamer system in Yeongil Bay Conventional marine seismic data processing sequence was applied and brief seismic interpretation revealed that the data contains two major seismic anomalies This study provides an insight into a process of contractional deformation in back-arc basin via two major steps: a multiattribute analysis of seismic anomalies and geological reconstruction of anomalies formation A multiattribute analysis was performed from both geophysical and geological perspectives to further characterize the physical behavior of the anomalies local dip angle and chaos attributes revealed the signal-hindered region beneath the channel anomalies indicating a possible fluid saturation in the channel anomalies A chaos attribute analysis revealed a pair of shallow faults which are used to constrain the temporal information of contractional deformation that the region has undergone A porous lithology was highlighted by the RMS amplitude analysis the channel anomalies in the data were identified as shallow gas deposits several candidates were proposed based on the physical geometry and shape after multiattribute analysis utilizing RMS amplitude the polka-dot anomalies present in the data were concluded most likely to be shallow gas deposits This paper attributes the formation of these anomalies to two major geological events in the post-Miocene to Pleistocene age in the evolution of the southeastern Korean Peninsula The post-Miocene neotectonic contractional deformation resulted in the uplifting in the region of study the LGM led to the erosion and excavation into the structural high of the region leading to the formation of tidal channels the overburden was deposited on top of the channel and polka-dot anomalies The difference in thickness of overburden has led to the different rates of gas leakage in these anomalies this paper provides an insight into the geology of the continental margin of the southeastern Korean Peninsula where a geological interpretation of Quaternary structures has not been actively studied yet The data that support the findings of this study are available from the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) but restrictions apply to the availability of these data which were used under license for the current study Data are however available upon reasonable request to J Ha (jihoha@kigam.re.kr) and with permission of KIGAM Geological structure of the japan sea and its tectonic implications Chishitsu Chosasho Geppo;(Japan) 39 ( 1988) Regional strike slip in the eastern continental margin of Korea and its tectonic implications for the evolution of ulleung basin Kim, H.-J., Han, S.-J., Lee, G.

in Tight K League ContestEarly Strike Proves DecisivePohang Steelers secured a narrow 1-0 victory over FC Seoul at the Steelyard on Sunday with Oberdan's early goal proving the difference in a closely contested K League 1 fixture The Brazilian midfielder struck in the 7th minute finishing with his left foot after Jorge Teixeira created the opening during a swift counter-attack It was Oberdan's third goal of the season and ultimately enough to lift Pohang to sixth in the table FC Seoul thought they had equalized just before the interval when Lucas Silva found the net but VAR intervened to rule the effort offside compounding a frustrating afternoon for Kim Gi-Dong's side Seoul's problems began early when Willyan was forced off after just nine minutes with a right leg injury adding to their ongoing midfield crisis with Ki Sung-Yueng and Jeong Seung-Won already sidelined nearly made an immediate impact but saw his effort strike the woodwork in the first half as Seoul's luck deserted them The visitors pushed hard for an equalizer after the break with January signing Marko Dugandžić coming closest in the 85th minute only to be denied by a crucial save from Pohang goalkeeper Hwang In-Jae Defender Kim Ju-Sung then headed narrowly wide in stoppage time as Seoul's final chance went begging The result sees Pohang avoid back-to-back defeats and register their third consecutive home win Park Tae-Ha's side demonstrated tactical discipline throughout particularly in defense where they withstood significant late pressure the defeat marks their first consecutive losses of the season extending their winless run to four matches highlighting the congested nature of the K League 1 table where just five points separate second from tenth place Both teams fielded lineups reflecting their contrasting tactical approaches – Pohang in their balanced 4-4-2 with the effective strike partnership of Lee Ho-jae and Jorge Teixeira while Seoul deployed their familiar 4-2-3-1 featuring

Pohang goes online Posco Future M has started operations at its new plant in Pohang dedicated to producing nickel-cobalt-aluminum cathode materials for electric vehicle batteries which shipped its first batch over the weekend will help meet the growing demand for high-performance EV battery components are key for making EV batteries more efficient Posco Future M secured a 40 trillion won ($29.6 billion) supply contract with Samsung SDI to provide NCA cathode materials from its Gwangyang facility Posco Future M accelerated the launch of the Pohang plant bringing it online three months ahead of schedule The company will have a combined capacity of 82,500 metric tons of NCA cathode materials annually with the Pohang plant having an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons and its larger facility under construction in Gwangyang adding another 52,500 tons per year by 2025 Both Pohang and Gwangyang will also produce single-crystal cathode materials -- an innovation that enhances battery performance by improving thermal stability and extending battery life Posco Future M became the first in Korea to mass-produce single-crystal NCMA cathode materials in 2023 and the new facilities will strengthen its ability to produce NCA versions as well With the addition of NCA cathode materials Posco Future M is broadening its product lineup which already includes NCM and NCMA materials This diversification positions the company to meet a wider range of customer needs as the EV market grows and diversifies are especially valuable for enhancing battery performance which should improve Posco Future M’s profitability Posco Future M’s long-term strategy focuses on expanding production capacity at its Pohang and Gwangyang sites “We expect to hit a total annual production capacity of 248,500 tons by 2026 split between 106,000 tons from Pohang and 142,500 tons from Gwangyang including the new NCA plant we’ve just completed,” said a company official The plan to unify the candidacies

one of its steel wire rod mills in the city of Pohang this week in response to rising global competition from Chinese producer Steel wire rod is used to make a wide range of automotive components including parts for suspension and steering systems It is also a key material used by the construction sector The Unit 1 Wire Rod Mill at the company’s Pohang steel manufacturing complex had been in operation for 45 years and was the oldest of the company’s four wire rod mills It produced 28 million tons of wire rod products since it was first opened in February 1979 Its closure will help the company rebalance supply with demand and improve profitability and efficiency with production now concentrated at its three remaining A Posco official told reporters: “We’ve seen an influx of cheap foreign wire rod products in the domestic market Given such conditions and the competitiveness of the old facility we’ve decided to reduce supplies of low-priced items.” The company had previously
