Geochemical and tectonic evolution of arc-backarc hydrothermal systems : implication for the origin of Kuroko and epithermal vein-type mineralizations and the global geochemical cycle / Naotatsu Shikazono.
Miocene-pliocene hydrothermal ore deposits in and around the Japanese Islands -- Present-day mineralization and geothermal systems in and around the Japanese Islands -- Hydrothermal flux from back-arc basin and island arc and global geochemical cycle -- Influence of hydrothermal CO2 flux on tertiary climate change.
Summary
Many Neogene hydrothermal ore deposits have been formed on and near the Japanese islands from the middle Miocene to the present day and today many subaerial and submarine active geothermal systems are active. This book summarizes the geochemical and tectonic features, and the evolution of various types of ore deposits and current island arc and backarc hydrothermal systems in Japan starting with the Mesozoic.
