| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Late Pliocene to early Pleistocene paleoceanographic history in the Japan Sea was investigated based on faunal and isotopic records of planktic foraminifera from the Tentokuji and Sasaoka Formations in Akita Prefecture and the Maido Formation in Aomori Prefecture. In the early Pleistocene, the studied sections were characterized by neritic water fauna and stratified surface water from isotopic analysis while relatively warmer water fauna was abundant during the late Pliocene. These faunal and isotopic changes suggest that they correspond to northern hemisphere glaciation. This study also revealed that the occurrence of Globorotalia inflata s.l. was characterized by not only higher abundance, but also rather sporadic distribution throughout the studied section.
