Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated calcareous microfossils and oxygen isotopes of foraminifera of the Kazusa Group in the Boso Peninsula, Japan, to establish an age model around the northwestern Pacific region. A high-resolution age model from ca. 1100 to 700 kyrs was firstly constructed based on oxygen isotope stratigraphy of planktonic and benthic foraminifera. Quaternary biohorizons of calcareous nannofossils were evaluated in comparison with the age model and new bioevents were found. The age model constructed by this study can be applicable to clarify geologic ages of formations and understand paleoceanographic changes around the northwestern Pacific.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で構築した新しい年代モデルは,とくにこれまでデータの空白地域であった北西太平洋海域の更新世における地球科学的研究を行う上で,重要な年代学的基盤となる.また,評価された石灰質微化石の基準面は,最新の年代が付けられることとなった.この年代モデルはこれまでよりも詳細な年代決定を可能にするため,様々な地域の地層の年代決定に適用されることにより,地層の形成過程をこれまでよりも詳しく復元することが可能になる.
