被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：53.20(Geochemistry & Geophysics)The impact of climate on mountain relief is unknown, mainly due to the difficulties of measuring surface processes at the timescale of glacial-interglacial cycles. An appropriate setting for studying mountain erosion in response to Quaternary climate change is found in the Tateyama mountains in the Hida mountain range (northern Japanese Alps) due to distinct geomorphological features of glacial, periglacial, and fluvial processes. The Japanese Alps uplifted within the past ca 1-3 Myr and experienced multiple glaciations during the late Quaternary. We use ultra-low temperature thermochronometers based on the luminescence of feldspar minerals and the electron spin resonance (ESR) of quartz minerals, in combination with inverse modelling to derive rock cooling rates and exhumation rate histories at 10
-10
year timescales from 19 rock samples from three transects in the Tateyama region. While luminescence signals have already reached their upper dating limit, ESR signals (Al and Ti centres) yielded ESR ages of ca 0.3-1.1 Ma, implying surface processes active in the Pleistocene. Based on a negative age-elevation relationship, local relief reduction at a cirque-basin scale is identified over the past 1 Myr, whereas a positive age distribution with elevation for samples close to the mountain top does not follow this trend. Inverse modelling reveals rock cooling rates on the order of 30-80 deg. C/Ma, with slightly faster cooling for cirque-floor samples, which equate with erosion rates of 0.5-1 mm/yr that exceed rates from periglacial and fluvial processes in the same locality. Thus, our data suggest that Quaternary climate change coupled with distinct surface processes modified the slopes of the Tateyama mountains leading to a localised decrease in relief over the second half of the Quaternary, whilst the mountain peaks were unaffected by the relief reduction.

Over its thirty year history, fifty different subgroups have been created to address topics in nearly every aspect of nuclear data, including: experimental measurements, evaluation, validation, model development, quality assurance of databases and the development of software tools. After three decades we will review the status of WPEC, how it integrates other collections and activities organised by the NEA and how it dovetails with the initiatives of the IAEA and other bodies to effectively coordinate international activities in nuclear data.

The influence of Quaternary climate on mountain topography remains a topic of debate, largely due to the challenges associated with measuring surface processes over the recent geological past. A compelling location to investigate mountain erosion in response to Quaternary climate change is found in the Tateyama Mountains, part of the northern Japanese Alps, due to its distinct geomorphological features. The Japanese Alps uplifted within the last 1-3 million years and have undergone multiple glaciations during the late Quaternary. In this study, we employ novel ultra-low temperature thermochronometres based on the luminescence and electron spin resonance (ESR) from feldspar and quartz, respectively, in combination with inverse modelling to derive rock cooling and exhumation rate histories on timescales of 10-10 years within the Tateyama region. The four luminescence signals have already reached their upper dating limit, indicating maximum exhumation rates of ca. 1-1.5 mm/yr. In contrast, ESR signals from Al and Ti centres provided ESR ages ranging ca. 0.3-1.1 Ma, suggesting that surface processes were active during the Pleistocene. A negative age-elevation relationship reveals a reduction in local relief at the scale of the cirque basin over the past million years. However, a positive age-elevation trend observed in samples from near the mountain summit deviates from this pattern. Inverse modelling shows rock cooling rates ranging 20-80
C/Myr, with slightly faster cooling in cirque-floor samples. Thermal kinematic modelling reveals erosion rates of 0.5-1 mm/yr in the cirque basin, which are higher than those observed from periglacial and slope processes in the same area. Our data suggest that Quaternary climate change, coupled with distinct surface processes, has significantly altered the slopes of the Tateyama mountains, leading to a localized decrease in relief within individual cirque basins during the second half of the Quaternary.
