Research Abstract

We collected sedimentary samples from Hakodate Bay, Hokkaido and analyzed fossil records to examine response of cold-water ecosystem to climatic changes. The youngest graded gravely to sandy bed in Hakodate Bay was discovered to contain abundant glassy spheres of 0.5-2.0mm in diameter. The stratigraphic distribution and the processes of formation and supply of the glassy spheres, and the history of natural and anthropogenic events influencing Hakodate Bay, lead to the following conclusions:
1)the glassy spheres may be formed by explosions of large steamships in the east head of the bay during the World War II (July,14,1945); and
2)during Typhoon Toyamaru in 1954, the storm surge and associated currents could have carried abundant sediment, including the glassy spheres, seaward and deposited them as the youngest graded bed in Hakodate Bay.
The storm bed may be useful as a key bed that can be used to understand depositional process and environmental changes in Hakodate Bay.
