[G03-03] Scientific evaluation on geomorphological topics in Japanese geoparks

*Takayuki Ogata1 (1.Disaster Prevention Research Center for Island Regions, University of the Ryukyus)

Keywords:Geomorphology, Geopark, Outreach

Geomorphological topics are likely to be misunderstood of many geoparks in Japan. Especially, process geomorphology is rarely interpreted in geoparks where landscapes are controlled by weathering, erosion, transportation and sedimentation. In addition, extinct theories seem to remain in interpretation of geoparks. These problems are common to many situations of geoscientific outreach. This presentation reports and discusses geomorphological interpretation in cases of “landslide” and “uplifted peneplain” in TV programs “buratamori-Okinawa” and “buratamori-Amami” produced by NHK.
