| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oxygen isotope ratio and trace elements recorded in siliceous microfossil skeletons such as diatoms and radiolarians are expected to be powerful tools for paleoenvironmental studies using sediments from areas or periods where carbonates are not preserved, however what kind of environmental information these values actually indicate is not fully understood. In this study, we developed a system that links the latest technology of automatic sorting and accumulation of fine particles with the automatic classification of microfossils using artificial intelligence, and established a method to accumulate a large amount of siliceous microfossils of a single species. This has paved the way for the analysis of small siliceous microfossils as a single species, which has been difficult in the past.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
手動では困難な小型の珪質微化石（放散虫）を自動で分類し大量に集積するシステムが構築されたことで、これまで実例のない、単種の放散虫の骨格に記録された同位体比・微量元素などの分析に道筋をつけた。これによって、古海洋研究に新たな指標の開発が可能となり、今後、多種多様な微化石に応用されることで、新規研究分野の創出にも繋がることが期待される。
