Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A geological survey was conducted to reveal the mechanism of slope failure and sediment movement in and around the Aso caldera caused by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. As a result, the geological background of the caldera wall and the post-caldera volcanoes became clear, and it was found that the mechanism of slope failure and sediment movement were different. From the trench survey of the Futagawa fault, it can be pointed out that similar slope disasters may have occurred in the past earthquakes. Furthermore, a comparative study with Aratozawa, Miyagi prefecture and Eastern Iburi district, Hokkaido, which have similar volcanic geology to Aso caldera, implied that the mechanism of collapse has some varaeties.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
熊本地震では土砂災害警戒区域に指定されていなかった緩斜面での崩壊により犠牲者が生じている.火山地域において強震時に特徴的に発生する斜面崩壊と土砂移動のメカニズム解明は,我が国をはじめとする火山と地震において特徴付けられるプレート沈み込み帯(島弧地域)において,防災・減災政策の立案に大きく寄与する.
