The geology of North Korea is very poorly known. In this paper, twenty-seven granitic
samples from the Tumangang belt and the Rangnim massif, including diorite, granodiorite …

Abstract The Korean Peninsula occupies a critical part of East Asia, and thus understanding
its tectonic development has a significant impact on comprehending the crustal evolution of …

Previous age data were reviewed for 98 sites of Phanerozoic granitoids in the southern part
of the Korean Peninsula. Subduction-related granitic magmatism has occurred in …

Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) zircon U–Pb ages and whole-rock
chemical compositions of Early to Middle Jurassic plutons from the central to southern …

Study of whole-rock geochemical and isotope (Sr-Nd) characteristics of Jurassic plutons
from South Korea shows differences in chemical compositions that might reflect the Jurassic …

Abstract The Gavilgarh-Tan Shear Zone (GTSZ) is a crustal-scale shear/fault zone that
dissects the unclassified basement gneisses separating two major supracrustal belts, viz …

Abstract The Gyeongsang Basin, the largest Cretaceous nonmarine sedimentary basin in
Korea, formed as a continental back-arc basin related to NNW-directed subduction of the …

This study used new and published U-Pb geochronological, chemical, and Sr-Nd-Hf-O
isotopic data (n> 2500) from Jurassic granite-granodiorite-diorite-monzonite-gabbro plutons …

During subduction, continental margins experience shortening along with inversion of
extensional sedimentary basins. Here we explore a tectonic scenario for the inversion of two …

The Funatsu Shear Zone is an early Mesozoic dextral ductile shear zone located in the Hida
Belt of southwest Japan, consisting mainly of granite mylonites. The Jurassic Funatsu …
