We performed structural analyses and XRD, XGT and EPMA analyses of fault rocks of the Byobuyama fault to reconstruct the history of the fault activity at shallow depth, as a case study for improving research technique to reveal the history of active faults. The results show that fault gouge zone along the fault has experienced activities of several stages under different stress, and significant differences in the deformation and alteration mechanism exist between these stages. Especially, the flow deformation of the fault gouge indicates that a large amount of fluid was present during the deformation. Abundance of illite infers that such fault gouge was formed by relatively high temperature fluid. In addition, eluviation structure of albite may indicate a deformation under environment such as to promote reaction solution. In this presentation, we discuss the vicissitudes of deformation and alteration mechanism in the fault gouge along the Byobuyama fault.

Uplift and associated denudation of mountains affect hydraulic gradient and groundwater flow path. In the case of a safety assessment for geological disposal of radioactive wastes, uplift and denudation will be examined in terms of nuclide migration driven by deep groundwater as well as potential exposure of repositories. Provenance analysis based on sedimentological, petrological, mineralogical and geochemical approaches in downstream area is often helpful for understanding onset times and processes of uplift and associated denudation of mountains in upstream area. In this study, quick quantification analysis for heavy minerals and measurement of electron spin resonance signal for quartz to estimate provenance rocks, and paleo-current analysis using magnetic anisotropy of susceptibility for fine sand were developed.
