| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey using 250-MHz antenna of gravelly braid bars in the Abe River and a sandy point bar in the Yahagi River, central Japan, to clarify the three-dimensional (3D) fluvial facies. We identified four fundamental radar depositional facies: Inclined reflections, horizontal to subhorizontal reflections, discontinuous trough-shaped reflections, and facies assemblage with a large-scale channel-shaped lower boundary, which are interpreted as bedloard sheet, unit bar, 3D dune, and cross-channel fill. Facies models are constructed from the GPR results of two bars (high sediment discharge & active bar, low sediment discharge & inactive bar). GPR analysis of flume deposits detects the channel surface, however, the bar facies model has not represented in a flume yet.
