| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The chemical compositions of biogenic opal have a high potential to record marine environments. Here we applied cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis to diatom frustules for detecting the crystal-chemical features and examining the relation with marine environments, especially with the concentration of dissolved iron, which limits the primary production in the HNLC region. For this purpose, we conducted CL analysis using frustules of diatoms derived from the northwestern Pacific and the marginal seas and cultured with different concentrations of dissolved iron. We found significant differences in CL features between the diatom frustules under high and low dissolved iron concentration experiments, suggesting CL measurements help reconstruct past iron concentration history in the ocean.

本課題では，物質に電子線を照射した際に生じる発光現象であるカソードルミネッセンス（CL）分析を珪藻殻に世界で初めて応用し，海洋環境（特に，海洋の基礎生産に必須の栄養素である“鉄”の濃度）と珪藻殻のCLスペクトルの関係を，培養実験および様々な海域で採取した珪藻殻のCL分析に基づき検証した。その結果，珪藻殻のCLスペクトルが，生息海水中の溶存鉄濃度によって異なることが分かった。
