The basal metamorphic complex of the central Sobaegsan Massif consists of pelitic & psammitic paragneisses, various kinds of granitic gneisses and lesser amounts of amphibolite. The granitic gneisses could be clearly distinguished from the pelitic and psammitic paragneisses on the basis of major-element geochemistry. A number of geochemical plots reveals that granitic gneisses were derived from calc - alkaline igneous rocks.

Several studies investigating the behavior and environmental distribution of rare earth elements (REEs) have been reviewed to determine the geochemical processes that may affect their concentrations and fractionation patterns in groundwater and whether these elements can be used as tracers for groundwater-rock interactions and groundwater flow paths in small catchments. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), equipped with an ultrasonic nebulizer and active-film multiplier detector, is routinely used as an analytical technique to measure REEs in groundwater, facilitating the analysis of dissolved REE geochemistry. This review focuses on the distribution of REEs in groundwater and their application as tracers for groundwater geochemistry. Our review of existing literature suggests that REEs in ice cores can be used as effective tracers for atmospheric particles, aiding the identification of source regions.

중부 옥천대에 분포하는 대보 화강암질 저반의 주원소, 미량원소 조성으로부터 조구조환경과 기원물질의 특징을 연구하였다. 화강암류는 흑운모 화강암, 조립질 반상화강암 및 화강섬록암으로 나눌 수 있다. 화강암류의 불규칙적인 Na, K 함량변화는 분별정출작용만으로 설명될 수 없고 기원물질의 불균질성이나 다양한 기원물질의 불완전한 혼합을 반영하는 것으로 생각된다. 대보 화강암에서 나타나는 친석 원소(LIL element)의 부화와 낮은 Ta/Hf비는 정상적인 칼크 알칼리 계열의 대륙 연변부 호 화강암의 특징과 부합된다. 희토류원소 변화양상으로 보아 $SO_2$ 함량이 높은 흑운모 화강암을 보다 염기성인 화강섬록암의 후기 분화체로 보기는 어렵다. 대보 화강암의 ${\varepsilon}_{Nd}(t)$값과 친석 원소의 함량은 서로 체계적인 변화를 보이지 않아 그들의 지화학적 특징이 초생적인 용융체와 지각 물질 사이의 혼합에 의해 규정되었을 가능성을 배제한다. 대보 화강암의 지구화학적 특징은 주로 기원물질의 고유한 불균질성을 반영한다고 보아진다.

고대 도 토기와 같은 고고학 유물을 만든 원료(태토)의 기원지 규명에 적합한 지구과학적 인자를 도출하기위한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구방법은 경북 경주, 경산 및 경남 함안지역에서 생산되었거나 출토된 토기와 토기채취지역 주변에 분포하는 암석과 토양을 채취하여 이들의 광물조성 및 화학조성을 비교하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 토기는 구워지면서 광물조성이 바뀌기 때문에 광물조성의 비교에 의한 태토 및 원암의 유추는 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 주성분조성을 이용한 일반적인 화학조성간의 상대적인 비교 또한 원암-태토(토양)-토기로 가면서 대부분의 화학조성비가 변하기 때문에 상호간의 상관성이 거의 없음을 확인하였다. 반면에 희토류원소 분포도는 암석-토양-토기로 진행되면서 상대적인 분포도가 주성분조성변화에 비해 거의 없고, 희토류원소의 하나인 Nd의 동위원소비에 의한 모델연대에서도 유사성을 보여주었다. 그리고 Nd 동위원소와 Sr 동위원소 또한 태토와 토기간에 연관성이 있음을 보여주었다. 이 연구결과 고고학적 유물의 재료를 밝혀내는데 있어서 희토류원소의 분포도와 Nd, Sr 동위원소의 지구화학적 특성이 다른 지구화학적 연구기법에 기법에 비해 더 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 확인할 수가 있었다.

A new type of uranium occurrence in Korea was identified in pegmatitic and hydrothermally altered granite in the Daejeon area. The U-bearing parts typically include muscovite, pink-feldspar and sericite as alteration minerals. In this study, the geochemical characteristics and alteration age of the granitic rocks were examined to provide evidence for hydrothermally-enriched uranium. The K-Ar ages of muscovite coexisting with U-bearing minerals were determined as 123 and 128 Ma. The U-bearing rocks have relatively low ($CaO+Na_2O$), high $K_2O$ contents, and high alteration index values by major element geochemistry. The trace element geochemistry shows that the uraniferous rocks have significantly low Th/U ratios and strongly differentiated features. The rare earth element patterns indicate that the uraniferous rocks have a low total REE and LREE contents with depletion of Eu. Considering the geochemical variation of the granitic rock major, trace and rare earth elements, it can be concluded that uranium enrichment in pegmatites and altered granite should be genetically related to post-magmatic hydrothermal alteration of K-metasomatism after emplacement of the two-mica granite. This is the first report for geochemical characteristics of Mesozoic granite-related U-occurrences in South Korea. This study will help further research for uranium deposits with similarities in geological setting, mineralogy and age data between South China and Korea, and can also be expected to help solve the source problems related to high uranium concentrations in some groundwater occurring in the granitic terrane.

We report field relationship, petrography and major and trace element chemistry for the central part of the Seoul granitic bathlith of Jurassic age occurring in the Kyonggi massif. The batholith consists mainly of biotite granite (BG) and garnet biotite granite (GBG) with minor tonalite-quartz diorite and biotite granodiorite with or without hornblende. The mode data, along with the those reported by Hong (1984) for the biotite granite (south-BG) in the southern part of the batholith, indicate that the many of BGs and majority of GBG and south-BG are leucocratic. Major element data indicate that these predominant rocks of the batholith are peraluminous. Variation trends in Harker diagrams for the major and trace elements suggest that the BG and GBG are not related by a simple crystal fractionation process. The same is true between the central (BG and GBG) and the southern (south-BG) parts of the batholith, suggesting that the central and southern parts of the Seoul batholith may consist of three separate intrusions. Tectonic discriminations using major and trace element data and the age of emplacement suggest that the batholith represents Jurassic plutonism related to an orogeny, perhaps to a subduction-related continental magmatic arc.

경상분지내에 분포하는 백악기 현무암질 화산암류는 신동층군내에 하부로부터 칠곡현무암질암 및 청용사현무암질암이, 하양층군내에 학봉현무암질암류, 오십봉현무암, 세천동현무암질암류, 함안현무암질암류, 하마현무암질암류 및 채약산현무암질암류가 시·공간적으로 분산되어 퇴적암층내에 개재되는데 오십봉현무암과 채약산현무암질암류를 제외하면 층후 및 연장에 있어서 규모가 작은 것이 특징이며 칠곡현무암질암은 신라역암층내 역으로만 산출될 뿐 그 근원지는 밝혀지지 않는다. 영양소분지 지역에 분포하는 오십봉현무암과 세천동현무암질암류는 주성분 및 유동성이 적은 미량원소의 거동으로 보아 칼크알칼리계열의 특성이 잘 보존되어 있으나 칠곡현무암질암, 학봉현무암질암류, 함안현무암질암류 및 채약산현무암질암류는 주성분 화학조성상 알칼리계열암으로 분류되는 반면 미량성분 조성상 화산소환경의 칼크알카리계열의 마그마를 기원으로 하고 있다 한편 청용사현무암질암 및 하마현무암질암류는 주·미량성분상 공히 알칼리계열의 암석군으로 구분되며 판내부에서의 알카리계열의 화산 활동의 산물로서 상부대륙지각의 영향을, 특히 청용사현무암질의 경우 크게 받은 것으로 해석된다.

The bulk and partition geochemistry was studied in two sediment cores collected from the axial valley of the north-central Fonualei Rift and Spreading Center (FRSC), Lau back-arc Basin, southwest Pacific. The sediments consist of mostly volcanic ash, although minor amounts of biogenic and other components were present in some intervals. The major element composition of bulk sediments recalculated to a carbonate-free basis was in good agreement with the magma compositions of the adjacent Tofua Arc and the FRSC, with only significant difference in Mn content. The enrichment of Mn and other associated elements (e.g. Cu, Co, Ni, and P) is attributed to hydrothermal input to the sediments, as evidenced by their significant partitioning in the non-detrital phases according to the partition geochemistry. Hydrogenetic and diagenetic inputs were assessed to be relatively insignificant. Estimated hydrothermal Mn fluxes during the Holocene ranged between 5.0 and 37.1 mg cm^-2 kyr^-1, with the higher values in younger sediments, suggesting enhanced hydrothermal activity. The hydrothermal Mn fluxes comparable to or higher than those reported from other spreading centers with strong hydrothermal activities may indicate the presence of unknown hydrothermal vent sites and/or topographic restriction on the dispersal of hydrothermal plumes in the northern part of the FRSC.

Stable isotope ratios of $^{18}O/^{16}O$ and $^{13}C/^{12}C$ and rare earth elements geochemistry of the Upper Triassic carbonates from the Baluti Formation in Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq were studied in two areas, Sararu and Sarki. The aim of the study is to quantify the possible diagenetic processes that postdated deposition and the paleoenvironment of the Baluti Formation. The replacement products of the skeletal grains by selective dissolution and neomorphism probably by meteoric water preserved the original marine isotopic signatures possibly due to the closed system. The petrographic study revealed the existence of foraminifers, echinoderms, gastropods, crinoids, nodosaria and ostracods as major framework constituents. The carbonates have micritic matrix with microsparite and sparry calcite filling the pores and voids. The range and average values for twelve carbonate rocks of ${\delta}^{18}O$ and ${\delta}^{13}C$ in Sararu section were -5.3‰ to -3.16‰ (-4.12‰) and -2.94‰ to -0.96‰ (-1.75‰), respectively; while the corresponding values for the Sarki section were -3.69‰ to -0.39‰ (-2.08‰) and -5.34‰ to -2.70‰ (-4.02‰), respectively. The bivariate plot of ${\delta}^{18}O$ and ${\delta}^{13}C$ suggests that most of these carbonates are warm-water skeletons and have meteoric cement. The average ${\Sigma}REE$ content and Eu-anomaly of the carbonates of Sararu sections were 44.26 ppm and 1.03, respectively, corresponding to 22.30 ppm and 0.93 for the Sarki section. The normalized patterns for the carbonate rocks exhibit: (1) non-seawater-like REE patterns, (2) positive Gd anomalies (average = 1.112 for Sararu and 1.114 for Sarki), (3) super chondritic Y/Ho ratio is 31.48 for Sararu and 31.73 for Sarki which are less than the value of seawater. The presence of sparry calcite cement, negative $^{13}C$ and $^{18}O$ isotope values, the positive Eu anomaly in the REE patterns (particularly for Sararu), eliminated Ce anomaly ($Ce/Ce^{\ast}$: 0.916-1.167, average = 0.994 and 0.950-1.010, average = 0.964, respectively), and Er/Nd values propose that these carbonates have undergone meteoric diagenesis. The REE patterns suggest that the terrigenous materials of the Baluti were derived from felsic to intermediate rocks.

Mineralogy and geochemistry of five pyrophyllite deposits in Yangsan-Milyang area such as Cheonbulsan, Dumyong, Dongrae, Youkwang, and Sungjin mines were investigated. Pyrophyllite ores consist mainly of pyrophyllite, sericite, and quartz with some amounts of kaolinite and pyrite. Polytype of pyrophyllite is 2M. Sericite has two polytypes of 1M and 2M1. The ${\delta}^{18}O$ values of pyrophyllite from the Cheonbulsan and the Dumyong mines were measured as 0.23-0.60‰ and 3.40‰, respectively, and those of montmorillonite and kaolinite from the Dumyong mine were in the range of 11.90-12.06‰. This low oxygen isotope composition provides conclusive evidence for hydrothermal activity in the studied area. Contents of major elements are more useful than those of trace elements to discriminate altered zones such as pyrophyllite, sericite, argillic, and andalusite zones from the surrounding rocks. Particularly, contents of $K_2O$, $Na_2O$ and CaO are helpful to identify alteration zones from the discriminant and the cluster analysis of multi-element data.
