  • Mesozoic Granites and Associated Mineralization in South Korea
    The Ishihara Symposium: Granites and Associated Metallogenesis Mesozoic Granites and Associated Mineralization in South Korea Yong-Joo Jwa Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 660-701, Korea; GEMOC Key Centre, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia 1. Tectonic Setting and Distribution of Mesozoic Granites Tectonically, South Korea can be divided into four provinces based on the distribution of sedimentary basins upon Precambrian basements. The pre-Cretaceous basement comprises two Precambrian massifs, the Yeongnam Massif in the South and the Gyeonggi Massif in the north, which belong to the Sino-Korean microcontinent. They exhibit Sinian tectonic trends (SW-NE direction) and are made up of Precambrian gneiss complexes with some Proterozoic to Jurassic metasedimentary cover (Lee, 1987). The Okcheon Belt between the two massifs consists of a northeastern non- to weakly-metamorphosed Paleozoic- Mesozoic sequence which grades into the Okcheon metamorphic belt to the southwest. The Cretaceous sedimentary basins in South Korea were formed by transtension driving the movement of the sinistral strike-slip faults (Lee, 1999). The sedimentary strata, the so-called Gyeongsang Supergroup, comprises non-marine sedimentary and andesitic to rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks. The basins overlie the pre-Cretaceous sequences with a marked unconformity. The products of Cretaceous granitic magmatism are quite evident in two large Cretaceous basins; the Gyeongsang Basin and the Yeongdong-Gwangju Basin. Mesozoic granites of South Korea have been divided into two groups based on intrusion age: the younger granites of late Cretaceous to early Tertiary age, and the older granites of Jurassic age (Lee, 1974; Kim, 1975; Hong, 1987).

Brehm U.S. Embassy, Seoul Prepared by: Susan B. Phillips Seh Won KIM Report Highlights: This report provides information about the market for U.S. processed food products outside of the capital city of Seoul. Increasingly, FAS Cooperators, MAP participants, and exporters are expanding their efforts to include these other major Korean urban areas. While Seoul marketers and consumers lead the country in innovation, the ATO finds growing interest in provincial areas for U.S. processed food products. Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Unscheduled Report Seoul ATO [KS2], KS GAIN Report #KS3011 Page 1 of 8 MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PROVINCIAL CITIES INTRODUCTION There are seven metropolitan cities in Korea: Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Kwangju, Daejon and Ulsan. In order to be designated as a metropolitan city in Korea the population of the city must exceed one million. The combined population of these six metropolitan cities except Seoul (of which the city population is 10 million) is about 13 million. The Seoul-Incheon "corridor" comprises a largely urban area with a population of about 22 million people. Although the markets in the cities outside Seoul are still small, they are growing. There is potential for faster growth of imported food products in these provincial areas, while the future growth rate of the market in Seoul slows. In the past, many imported processed foods were not widely available in the retail sector of provincial metropolitan cities, but thanks to the launching of discount stores and large-scale department stores in recent years, many processed foods are now available at these outlets in these other cities.

The new HSR construction was expected to become a new engine of local economic growth. However, there was a controversy regarding whether the connection between regions intensifies the concentration of socio-economic activities in the metropolis (straw effect) or contributes to the balance of regional development (sprawl effect). More increasing attention had been devoted to studying the “straw effects” caused by the newly built HSR networks on interregional social-economic activities. Despite considerable research on the benefit achieved from HSR construction, little has focused on the negative externalities resulting from it. This paper examined the potential “straw effects” of two new HSR lines through constructing the indicator of interregional dependency that measured one city’s level of dependency on another one. In order to exclude the interference of lurking variables, five metropolitan cities were selected as case studies. The empirical results, based on a panel data model, revealed that the larger the economic scale of the target city, the lower the level of dependency on other cities, and there existed a “straw effect” on HSR development in terms of Seoul.

This morning, the program began with a Marriage Blessing Ceremony, officiated by the Regional leader of Busan and his wife. This was entitled the "2018 Universal Blessing Ceremony Given by the True Parents of Heaven Earth and Humankind," [translation tentative] was held for a group of married couples who came to solemnize their vows in this most public arena. Following this there was a 20-minute Chanyang session for everyone, organized by the Cheongpyeong training center staff. Then the program turned to the more usual schedule of National Anthem, introduction of VIPs (including the mayor of Busan and the chairman of the Busan City Council, who both attended in person), a second generation member's heartfelt testimony to True Parents and her own parents, awards to exemplary families, followed by two congratulatory addresses. The first of these was by Busan mayor Seo Byeong-su. He expressed how impressed he was by the number of people he saw lining up outside the convention center, and by the prominent members of society present in the auditorium. He recalled his meeting with Mother when she came to open the new Busan Family Federation headquarters last year (at which event he had also offered congratulatory remarks), testifying to Mother's radiance and resolve.

Rather, Korea has seen strong resistance to state power and foreign forces, which in turn has crucially shaped its path to modernity. The Kwangju uprising that occurred in May 1980 is another major event in this sequence of contentious politics. Beginning as a student protest in the southwestern city of Kwangju, the uprising escalated into an armed civilian struggle and was met by brutal acts of violence enacted by government troops. While the ten-day struggle ultimately ended in military suppression, its legacy and effect were of lasting significance. It was arguably the single most important event that shaped the political and social landscape of South Korea in the 1980s and 1990s. (Shin, 2003, p. xi).

Within one generation, Korea had transformed itself from a poor agrarian society to a modern industrial nation, a feat never seen before. What makes Korea’s experience so unique is that its rapid economic development was relatively broad-based, meaning that the fruits of Korea’s rapid growth were shared by many. The challenge of course is unlocking the secrets behind Korea’s rapid and broad-based development, which can offer invaluable insights and lessons and knowledge that can be shared with the rest of the international community.
