Sediment layers prove 6 temblor occurrences in past 7,300 years

Professor Makoto Okamura of Kochi University points to samples of sediment layers, recovered from below the bottom of a pond in Mie Prefecture, western Japan, on May 13, 2015, as evidence that six huge earthquakes had occurred over the past 7,300 years. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo

    Japan researchers to seek to have Chiba stratum represent geologic age

    Photo taken April 25, 2017, shows a stratum in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture, where evidence of the last geomagnetic reversal occurring 770,000 years ago was found preserved in good condition. Based on this stratum, Japanese researchers will file an application in May 2017 with an international geological organization to have the name "Chibanian" represent the middle Pleistocene stage.

        Yoshinari Hayato, associate professor at the University of Tokyo's Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, explains work in the control room at Super-Kamiokande, the world's largest underground neutrino detector facility, in Hida, Gifu Prefecture, central Japan, on Oct. 9, 2015. The detector was instrumental in research by Japanese scientist Takaaki Kajita, who was named a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics on Oct. 6 "for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass."
