Professor Im Chul-hee (Department of Forest and Environmental Systems) published a book and appeared on a TV show about satellites and the Korean Peninsula
- 24.12.06 / 이정민
Professor Im Chul-hee of the Department of Forest Environment System at Kookmin University published a book titled “The Korean Peninsula as Seen from Space” in the first half of this year, which was introduced on several TV programs.
This book, co-produced by Professor Lim Chul-hee of Kookmin University and the National Institute for Unification Education of the Ministry of Unification, and published by 21st Century Books, breaks away from the existing rote unification education and encourages readers to think about the issues on the Korean Peninsula on their own.
It looks at the environment, society, military and politics of the Korean Peninsula through advanced satellites in space, and presents North Korea and the Korean Peninsula issues from a new perspective. In particular, the book combines augmented reality (AR) technology to provide time-series satellite images and commentary from the author, which is drawing attention as an example of overcoming the limitations of paper books with technology.
“The Korean Peninsula as Seen from Space” has been covered by various media outlets since its publication, and it was aired twice on UNITV, the Ministry of Unification's broadcasting channel, with Professor Lim Chul-hee appearing to explain the contents of the book. He also appeared on the radio program “A Better Korea” on the National Unification Broadcasting Corporation to introduce the issues of forest devastation and climate change in North Korea that are discussed in the book.
In particular, the book has been featured in various media outlets since its publication, including two episodes of “Unification Talk” on UNITV, the broadcasting channel of the Ministry of Unification, in which Professor Lim Chul-hee appeared to explain the contents of the book.
Professor Lim Chul-hee, the author, emphasized that “the role of satellites is expanding worldwide, and our university has a role to play in future-oriented applications such as the environment and climate change,” and said, “We will improve our students' ability to use satellites through related courses.”
