In this study, petrological, structural, geochemical, and geochronological analyses of the Statherian alkali feldspar granite and porphyritic alkali feldspar granite in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula were conducted to examine petrogenesis of the granitoids and their tectonic setting. Zircon U-Pb dating revealed that the two granites formed around 1.71 Ga and 1.70–1.68 Ga, respectively. The results of the geochemical analyses showed that both of the granites have a high content of K2O, Nb, Ta, and Y, as well as high FeOt/MgO and Ga/Al ratios. Both granites have alkali-calcic characteristics with a ferroan composition, indicating an A-type affinity. Zircon Lu-Hf isotopic compositions yielded negative εHf(t) values (−3.5 to −10.6), indicating a derivation from ancient crustal materials. Both granite types underwent ductile deformation and exhibited a dextral sense of shear with a minor extension component. Based on field relationships and zircon U-Pb dating, it was considered that the deformation event postdated the emplacement of the alkali feldspar granite and terminated soon after the emplacement of the porphyritic alkali feldspar granite in an extensional setting. These data indicated that there were extension-related magmatic activities accompanying ductile deformation in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula during 1.71–1.68 Ga. The Statherian extension-related events are well correlated with those in the midwestern part of the Korean and eastern parts of the North China Craton.

Reconstructing paleo-denudation rates over Holocene timescales in an Alpine catchment provides a unique opportunity to isolate the climatic forcing of denudation from other tectonic or anthropogenic effects. Cosmogenic 10Be on two sediment cores from Lake Stappitz (Austrian Alps) were measured yielding a 15-kyr-long catchment-averaged denudation record of the upstream Seebach Valley. The persistence of a lake at the outlet of the valley fixed the baselevel, and the high mean elevation minimizes anthropogenic impacts. The 10Be record indicates a decrease in the proportion of paraglacial sediments from 15 to 7 kyr cal. BP after which the 10Be concentrations are considered to reflect hillslope erosion and thus can be converted to denudation rates. These ones significantly fluctuated over this time period: lower hillslope erosion rates of ca. 0.4 mm/year dated between 5 and 7 kyr cal. BP correlate with a stable climate, sparse flooding events and elevated temperatures that favoured the widespread growth of stabilizing soils and vegetation. Higher hillslope erosion rates of ca. 0.8 mm/year over the last ~4 kyr correlate with a variable, cooler climate where frequent flooding events enhance denudation of less protected hillslopes. Overall, our results suggest a tight coupling of climate and hillslope erosion in alpine landscapes as it has been observed in other parts of the Alps.
