Outline of Final Research Achievements

A earthquake tsunami occurs is along the plate boundary but they are co-exists tropical cyclone active regions in the tropical to mid-latitudes. In the case of Okinawa, clear overlapping of tsunami and typhoon induced boulders, and therefore understanding coastal boulder characteristics by tsunamis and tropical cyclone waves is important to know.
In this study, the distribution of coastal boulders transported from the ocean to land were survey in the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean Ocean. It can evaluate the historic gigantic tsunami and typhoons, potentially. The main objective is to conduct extensive and detailed field investigations on the size, position, physical properties and coastal topography of tropical coast. Based on the results of survey, the distributions and characteristics of boulders in the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean Sea will be summarized for the estimation of magnitude historical of events of tsunami and tropical cyclones.
