Stratigraphy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A field that reads changes in the Earth's environment from the study of strata.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading strata to explore changes in the Earth.
Through geological study of strata, the Stratigraphy Lab aims to read the chronological succession of phenomena that occurred at the Earth's surface and to clarify the mechanisms of global environmental change.
The lab studies the history of subduction zones and continental margins from sedimentary rocks, and past earthquakes and tsunamis from strata.
It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences major of the College of Geoscience.
This major treats fieldwork as one of its key foundations and holds many field excursions.
Key terms
- Sedimentary rock
- Rock formed when sand, mud, the remains of organisms, and other material accumulate on the sea floor or lake bed and harden.
- Subduction zone
- A place where an oceanic plate, a slab of rock, sinks beneath another plate.
- Tectonics
- The field that deals with the mechanisms and history of the movement and deformation of the rock plates at the Earth's surface.
ResearchResearch themes
The Stratigraphy Lab aims to read the chronological succession of phenomena that occurred in the Earth's surface environment through geological study of strata, and to clarify the mechanisms of global environmental change. Depending on the faculty member, the research covers either the history of subduction zones and continental margins explored through sedimentary rocks, or past earthquakes and tsunamis explored through strata.
*Illustrative imageHistory of subduction zones and continental margins
This research examines the tectonic history of subduction zones and continental margins from sedimentary rocks. Main graduation research topics in the lab include the reconstruction of the stratigraphy of a back-arc basin in eastern Thailand.
*Illustrative imageRecords of earthquakes and tsunamis preserved in strata
This research clarifies past earthquakes and tsunamis from strata. Main graduation research topics in the lab include the history of earthquake and tsunami occurrence in Muge Town, Tokushima Prefecture, and the reconstruction of the history of tsunami inundation in Hidaka Town, Wakayama Prefecture.
