Reference excerpt

Ji Hee Kim is a South Korean Antarctic researcher, best known for being the Principal Investigator for comprehensive environmental monitoring and construction of the long term environmental database at South Korea's King Sejong Station.

Early life and education Kim received her BSc in biology at Mokpo National University in 1991 and her MSc in biology at Seoul National University in 1993, and a PhD at the same university in 2000. She started her research work at the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) in 1998 before she completed her PhD. She has been a key member of the polar ecology laboratory at KOPRI.

Career and impact Kim has led many projects at KOPRI, particularly after the construction of Jang Bogo Station, South Korea's second Antarctic research station. Kim was a key member of the expedition team searching for the proper site and later Principal Investigator for the preparation for the Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation. She is the Principal Investigator for comprehensive environmental monitoring and construction of a long term environmental database in the King Sejong Station.

Awards and honours Kim was awarded a KOPRI medal in 2005 and 2010. She was also awarded the Ministerial Award of Land Transport and Maritime Affairs in 2012.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ji Hee Kim

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ji Hee Kim claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ji Hee Kim before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ji Hee Kim ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ji Hee Kim

In research: Ji Hee Kim appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ji Hee Kim in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ji Hee Kim is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century South Korean scientists, 21st-century South Korean women scientists, 21st-century earth scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ji Hee Kim outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
