ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS：PR］ES］ENTED AT THE SYMPOSIUM ON GEOTECTOMCS AND ENERGY RESOURCES IN EAST ASIA The Intemational Symposium entitled“Geotectonics and Energy Resources in East Asia”was held in September1988，as a part of the Institute for Transfer of Industrial Technology Programme of the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology． Thirteen experts in the field of geotectonics and resource assessment presented papers at the symposium．The abstracts of the papers are appeared in the following Pages． The result of the symposium will bear fruit in the near future as geotectonic maps and basin maps of East Asia in the course of the inter－ national activities conducted by CPMP（Circum－Paci丘c Map Project）and CCOP （Committee for Co－ordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in
