| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To assess the usability of beryllium-10 contained in the coastal marine sediments as a proxy of environmental changes on land, beryllium-10 in the marine sediments collected from various sedimentary environment were analyzed. Ratio of the beryllium-10 brought from the land contained in the beryllium-10 of the coastal marine sediments is 70 % or more. The beryllium-10 variation during past 4 million years recorded in the coastal marine sediment, obtained from offshore of the East Africa, shows a long-term variation that is synchronized with the vegetation change in East Africa. There is a possibility that the beryllium-10 variation of coastal marine sediments reflects the environmental changes of land.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
東アフリカは乾燥地域であり、過去数百万年間の連続的な気候・環境変動の復元は非常に困難である。本研究により、連続性に優れたアーカイブである海洋堆積物のベリリウム10から陸域の気候・環境変動を復元できる可能性が示された。これにより、東アフリカの過去数百万年間にわたる連続的な気候・環境変動が復元され、東アフリカ地域の気候・環境変動と人類進化との関係の議論に進展をもたらすと期待される。
