As part of the MEXT Promotion of Development of a Joint Usage/Research System Project: Coalition of Universities for Research Excellence Program, a new project titled 'Transdisciplinary Network linking Space-Earth Environmental Science with History and Archaeology (from fiscal year 2024)' has been launched. One of the research groups in this project, the 'Cataclysmic Disasters and Dating Group,' involves collaboration between the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research at Nagoya University, the National Museum of Japanese History, and the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry at Yamagata University. The group aims to reconstruct past solar activity and climate change based on carbon-14 and oxygen-18 analysis, and to date extreme disaster events and historical milestones using the carbon-14 spike matching method.

This presentation will introduce the overview of this research group and its research roadmap.
