1.Discovery of the volcanic ash layer of the Shikumi river basin
A fresh outcrop (stratum) appeared along with the canal construction work within the Momonoki in the Tsunan Town, prefectural road Ketto-Kamigo strait line in August, 2016. Because it was an interesting geologic pattern, we invited experts, observed the formation, gathered samples and recorded strata.
2.Transition of nature in Suganuma area
Suganuma village is located in the northern part of Mt. Naeba foothills at an altitude of 630 to 650 m. It is where became a waist village about 50 years ago.
As the name of Suganuma, the area is a terrain and geology where water tends to stay. There have been almost unspoiled ponds, wetlands and forests since becoming a waste villageMany mammals and birds, including dragonflies, could be confirmed. Several endangered species have also been found.
Many materials to be left are left, including shellfish and lignite. Continuous investigation is required for gradual transition from wetland to forest.
