| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tectonic geomorphological analysis using high-resolution DEMs has enabled us to identify fault-related landforms in alluvial lowlands throughout Japan. We conducted a series of studies on tectonic landforms, surficial geology, and histories of residential-area changes, mainly for the alluvial lowlands around the Uemachi upland, north of the Atsuta upland, and in the central Iiyama City. Based on the results, we discussed distributions of fault-related landforms, relationships between fault-related landforms and surficial geology, and geomorphic-environment changes caused by active fault earthquakes in the alluvial lowlands.
