Abstract

Granitic continental crust is a unique feature of the Earth and, as such, the origin and growth of granitic continental crust is a major focus of research in the earth sciences. This special issue focuses on petrochemistry and isotope petrology, geology petrography of granites, U-Pb zircon geochronology, K-Ar geochronology, crust-mantle structure beneath Northeast Japan, and evolution of the continental crust. These topics provide usuful information on petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of the arc crust of the Japanese Islands.
