Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to provide geological archives of paleontological, sedimentological, and geochemical analyses for modern tsunami deposits, such as tsunami deposits generated with the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Tsunami deposits for the analyses were taken in eastern Hokkaido, Sendai plain, Minami Soma City (Fukushima Prefecture), Hasunuma coast (Chiba Prefecture). As the results of the analyses, we revealed vertical changes in grain size and geochemical components (e.g., biomarkers, and water-leachable ions) and lateral changes in grain size and thickness of the deposits. Changes in diatoms and foraminifera assemblages within tsunami deposits probably represent process of erosion, transporting, and redepositing sediments during the tsunami inundation.
