This review focuses on the tectonics and sedimentation of major sedimentary basins and
orogenic belts (Late Proterozoic–Neogene) in the Korean peninsula. The Korean peninsula …

Convergent plate motion at∼ 320–210 Ma generated the Tongbai-Dabie-Sulu (east-central
China)-Imjingang-Gyeonggi (central Korea)-Renge-Suo (Southwestern Japan)-Sikhote-Alin …

East and Southeast Asia comprises a complex assembly of allochthonous continental
lithospheric crustal fragments (terranes) together with volcanic arcs, and other terranes of …

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 …

Precambrian basement rocks in North Korea consist of supracrustals and granitoid rocks, of
which the former comprise the late Archean Nangrim Group and the Paleoproterozoic …

Ophiolites and high‐pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks are studied to test continuation of
Paleozoic and early Mesozoic geological units from Japan to Primorye over the Japan Sea …

We have determined the Sr, Nd, Pb and Hf isotopic compositions of 13 samples from six late
Cenozoic centers of basaltic volcanism in South Korea, including Baengnyeong Island …

The crustal evolution of North Korea is poorly constrained. This study utilises detrital zircon
U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopic data, obtained from sands at the mouths of the Taedong …

Alkaline meta-granitoids, ranging in composition from syenite to alkali granite, occur in the
northwestern Gyeonggi massif. Ion microprobe U–Pb zircon analyses indicate that the …

The Imjingang belt in the central Korean Peninsula is a strong candidate to represent the
extension of the Dabie-Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) belt in China. This fold-thrust belt …
