Outline of Final Research Achievements

Because the age of the tephra layer is also linked to the age of the volcanic eruption that provided the tephra, the disaster prevention The significance of the above is also great. The Tephra Formation forms a coincidental time plane and serves as a benchmark for stratigraphic ages of not only volcanic eruptions but also the surrounding area. It has been used as a geological and archaeological indicator of time. Therefore, a high degree of dating accuracy has been required.
In this study, we applied the Uighur matching method to historical tephra dating samples from peat layers. The accuracy of this method was confirmed by the application of the new method. The introduction of this new method of dating has improved the accuracy of tephra sedimentary dating. We have found that it can be improved.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

テフラ層の年代決定は、そのテフラの供給源である火山噴火の年代決定にもつながるため、防災上の意義も大きい。また、テフラ層は、同時間面を形成し、火山噴火のみならず、周辺の地質層序の基準となるため、地質学や考古学上の時間指標となるものである。そのため、高い年代決定精度が求められてきた。
本研究は、泥炭層から得られたテフラ層の放射性炭素年代試料にウイグルマッチング法という新たな暦年校正手法を導入することでテフラ層の堆積年代決定精度を格段に向上させることができた。
