Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Izu-Bonin subduction zone has been regarded as so-called ”Mariana-type subduction zone” where M>7 interplate earthquakes did not occur inherently. Ishibashi and Harada (2013) and Harada et al. (2013) proposed a hypothesis that the 1605 Keicho earthquake was a giant/great earthquake along in the Izu-Bonin subduction zone from re-examination of historical documents and tsunami numerical simulation. In order to confirm their hypothesis, we performed tsunami trace survey on the Bonin Islands. As a result, we discovered more than 3 tsunami deposit layers at the Sakai-ura beach and 4-5 tsunami deposit layers at the river mouth of the Yatsuse River in the Chichi Island. C14 dating shows these layers deposited in 17-18 A.D. However, we could not identify the 1605 tsunami deposit from these layers due to the dating accuracy.
