Abstract

Since the paleomagnetic study was introduced in Korea about 40 years ago, its scientific findings contributed to the understanding of geologic settings and tectonic processes of the Korean Peninsula and eventually to the escalation of geology and geophysics in Korea. It is worth summarizing and introducing the up-to-date paleomagnetic results produced by the representative paleomagnetic working groups in Korea, such as K. D. Min, I. S. Kim, S. J. Doh, Y. S. Lee, D. W. Suk, the late K. H. Kim and others.
