Research Subject(s)
I explore traces of past earthuake and tsunami (event deposit) based on field survey and geochemical analyses. My main interest is chronology of such event deposits. I am investigating a high-precison radiocarbon dating method for better hazard assessment.

Research Activities

Many earthquakes and tsunamis have been occurred around Japan islands. Traces of such events were records as event deposits in geological stratum. I explore the chronology of event deposits to know the event history for better hazard assessment.
