Age-Dating Research Group
Operates advanced infrastructure for age-dating research and planetary material analysis, and carries out international joint utilization projects. Conducts luminescence dating of Quaternary faults on the Korean Peninsula for earthquake disaster response, and performs precise analysis of primordial materials of the solar system.
Research Content
National project for earthquake disaster response / Luminescence dating research of Quaternary faults
Research Infrastructure
Integrates advanced infrastructure such as high-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometers and isotope microscopes, while conducting one-stop geochronology research by linking OSL/ESR dating systems with femtosecond laser analysis convergence systems.
- In the field of planetary material research (Chang-Sik Jung, Ki-Wook Lee, Yeon-Joong Jung, Jung-Min Kim, Yoo-Young Lee, Young-Min Kim), world-class surface dating and isotope analysis techniques are used to lead research on the tectonic history of the Korean Peninsula and early solar system meteorites.
- In the field of luminescence dating (Jung-Heon Choi), research on earthquake response through Quaternary fault dating is uniquely pioneered, while also leading studies in archaeology, anthropology, and cultural heritage.
