We investigate ore-forming processes from magmatic through hydrothermal to surficial systems, integrating field observations, mineral geochemistry, geochronology, and microanalytical techniques.
We are always seeking highly motivated graduate students.
We are currently studying...
Magmatic-hydrothermal Li-Sn-Nb-Ta deposits and prospects in Korea.
Cu and S isotopic processes during supergene Cu re-distributions.
Ni laterite prospects in Indonesia, Iran, and D.R. Congo.
Magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposits and prospects in Korea and in USA (e.g. Duluth complex).
IOCG (Fe oxide Copper Gold) prospects in Iran.
Magmatic-hydrothermal (skarn and carbonate-replacement) W-Mo-Fe-Zn deposits in Korea.
Geomdok Zn deposits (North Korea).
Magmatic-hydrothermal processes for porphyry Cu-Mo-Au and epithermal Au-Ag mineralizations in western USA (Bingham Canyon, Pebble, Yerington etc.), Mongolia (Erdenet Ovoo Cu-Mo etc.), Iran (Miduk Cu-Mo-Au etc.), Philippines (Santo Tomas II Cu-Au etc.), and etc.
Subseafloor magmatic and magmatic-hydrothermal processes at volcanic arcs (Brothers Volcano, Kermadec arc and at Higashi-Aogashima, Izu arc...).
Subseafloor magmatic and magmatic-hydrothermal processes at MOR (Antarctic and Indian MOR...).
