  • The currently operating NASA/GFZ Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission is designed to measure small mass changes over a large spatial scale, including the mapping of continental water storage changes and other geophysical signals in the form of monthly temporal gravity field. The European Space Agency's Gravity field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) space gravity gradiometer (SGG) mission is anticipated to determine the mean Earth gravity field with an unprecedented geoid accuracy of several cm (rms) with wavelength of 130km or longer. In this paper, we present a summary of present GRACE studies for the recovery of hydrological signals in the Amazon basin using alternative processing and filtering techniques, and local inversion to enhance the temporal and spatial resolutions by two-folds or better. Simulation studies for the potential GRACE detection of slow deformations due to Nazca-South America plate convergence and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) signals show that these signals are at present difficult to detect without long-term data averaging and further improvement of GRACE measurement accuracy.

  • Selection of good mineralized area is a combination of the integration of all the available geo-scientific (i.e., geological, geochemical, and geophysical) information, extrapolation of likely features from known mineralized terrenes and the ability to be predictive. The time-space relationships of the hydrothermal deposits in the East Asia are closely related to the changing plate motions. Also, two distinctive hydrothermal systems during Mesozoic occurred in Korea: the Jurassic/Early Cretaceous deep-level ones during the Daebo orogeny and the Late Cretaceous/Tertiary shallow geothermal ones during the Bulguksa event. Both the Mesozoic geothermal system and the mineralization document a close spatial and temporal relationship with syn- to post-tectonic magmatism. The Jurassic mineral deposits were formed at the relatively high temperature and deep-crustal level from the mineralizing fluids characterized by the relatively homogeneous and similar ranges of ${\delta}^{18}O$ values, suggesting that ore-forming fluids were principally derived from spatially associated Jurassic granitoid and related pegmatite. Most of the Jurassic auriferous deposits (ca. 165-145 Ma) show fluid characteristics typical of an orogenic-type gold deposits, and were probably generated in a compressional to transpressional regime caused by an orthogonal to oblique convergence of the Izanagi Plate into the East Asian continental margin. On the other hand, Late Cretaceous ferroalloy, base-metal and precious-metal deposits in the Taebaeksan, Okcheon and Gyeongsang basins occurred as vein, replacement, breccia-pipe, porphyry-style and skarn deposits. Diverse mineralization styles represent a spatial and temporal distinction between the proximal environment of sub-volcanic activity and the distal to transitional condition derived from volcanic environments. However, Cu (-Au) or Fe-Mo-W deposits are proximal to a magmatic source, whereas polymetallic or precious-metal deposits are more distal to transitional. Strike-slip faults and caldera-related fractures together with sub-volcanic activity are associated with major faults reactivated by a northward (oblique) to northwestward (orthogonal) convergence, and have played an important role in the formation of the Cretaceous Au-Ag lode deposits (ca. 110-45 Ma) under a continental arc setting. The temporal and spatial distinctions between the two typical Mesozoic deposit styles in Korea reflect a different thermal episodes (i.e., late orogenic and post-orogenic) and ore-forming fluids related to different depths of emplacement of magma (i.e., plutonic and sub-volcanic) due to regional changes in tectonic settings.

  • 남한의 중생대 금-은광상은 주로 쥐라기와 백악기 화성활동과 각각 밀접한 관계를 보이고 있으며, 고태평양 판의 섭입양태의 변화에 따라 다음과 같이 시 공간적으로 연계되어 있다. 쥐라기 금광상(약 $165{\sim}145Ma$)은 심부 지질조건에서 유입된 광화유체로부터 형성된 전형적인 특징을 보이고 있으며, 대보조산운동 말기동안 이자나기판의 섭입방향이 동북아시아를 향하여 직각방향으로부터 사각북향으로 변환되는 동안 고응력장은 압축력 환경으로부터 전단력 환경으로 변화함으로써 이 단계에 쥐라기 금광화작용이 집중적으로 진행된 양상을 보이고 있다. 반면에 백악기 동안 섭입양태가 사각방향에서 직각방향으로 재차 변화됨으로써 전기 백악기 좌수향 주향이동단층계의 발달과정에서 후기 백악기 반암형 화성활동과 관련된 천부 지질조건에서 유입된 다양한 기원의 유체로부터 점이성${\sim}$원지성 금-은광상과 비철금속광상(약 110${\sim}$45 Ma)이 배태되고 있다. 이러한 중생대 금-은광상의 유형은 대륙충돌 이후에 나타나는 지각진화 단계와 함께 고태평양판의 섭입양태 변화에 따라 서로 다른 관입심도를 갖는 화성암체가 관입됨으로써 심부 또는 천부 지질환경의 지열수계가 형성되고, 성인적으로 서로 다른 유형의 금-은광상이 배태된 것으로 추정된다.
