Shelf sequence and characteristic bounding surfaces in a wave-dominated setting: latest Pleistocene-Holocene examples from Northeast Japan

Yoshiki Saito
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented modem models for coastal to shelf sequences in a microtidal and wave-dominated setting, based on detailed analyses of latest Pleistocene-Holocene sequences on the Pacific side of Northeast Japan.

Vertical tectonic crustal movements along the Japanese coastlines inferred from late Quaternary and recent relative sea-level changes

Jun'ichi Okuno, +4 more
- 01 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the average rates of tectonic crustal movement along the Japanese coastlines on three typical timescales of ∼50-yr, ∼6-kyr and ∼125kyr based on tide gauge and Holocene RSL observations and the altitudes of marine terraces formed at the Last Interglacial (LIG) phase at ∼125-ka.

Recent Japanese Research on Relative Sea Level Changes in the Holocene and Related Problems

Yoko Ota, +2 more
- 15 Apr 1990 - 
TL;DR: A review of studies conducted between 1980 and 1988 on relative sea level changes and coastal evolution during the Holocene in Japan can be found in this article, where the authors discussed the progress of excavation on the holocene lowland and coral reefs, and the significance of small drowned valleys as a suitable field for the reconstruction of sea level change.

Seismic-driving of sand beach ridge formation in northern Honshu, Japan?

James Goff, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a series of immediate and delayed after-effects created by a cascade of geomorphological processes linking the earthquake with beach ridge formation is examined for the Sendai Plain.
