Research Abstract

A method to estimate hydraulic conditions of turbidity currents from grain-size distribution of turbidite sandstones was established. The one-dimensional mixed grain-size model of turbidity currents was used as a forward model for the analysis, and the optimizing calculation of the model for reproducing grain-size distribution measured in the sandstone bed enabled to estimate paleo-hydraulic conditions of turbidity currents with high accuracy. The method developed in this study was applied to a turbidite bed in the Pleistocene Otadai Formation, and the velocity and sediment concentration of the turbidity current was successfully reconstructed.
