Geochemical approaches using a portable XRF contribute to studies on simple and rapid methods for detecting paleotsunami deposits. Calibration curves for quantitative analyses were prepared using 25 geochemical standard samples. Geochemical characteristics of paleotsunami deposits (ca. 1000, 3500, and 4000 cal BP) from the Shizuoka plain were obtained. Most of the quantitative data collected with the portable XRF were good agreement with reported values measured with stationary-type energy dispersive XRF in previous studies. Therefore, a portable XRF was applied in geochemical studies of samples from the Shizuoka plain. Relatively high Si/Ti, Ca/Ti, and Sr/Ti atomic ratios were observed in paleotsunami deposits from layers aged ca. 1000, 3500, and 4000 cal BP. Moreover, relatively high Cr/Ti ratios were found in lower paleotsunami deposits (ca. 4000 cal BP). Fe/Ti and S/Ti ratios increased in peaty clay layers just below the paleotsunami deposits in the core. On the other hand, Cl was not detected in the cores. Most of the paleotsunami deposits were distinguished from other layers in the cores using a cluster analysis with the portable XRF data. Therefore, a portable XRF is useful for characterizing paleotsunami deposits from the Shizuoka plain.","PeriodicalId":51539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography","volume":"IA-11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135218879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Column samples containing tsunami deposits are collected at Noda village, Iwate prefecture, and Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai city, and the distribution of element concentrations are continuously measured. The model is trained by Multilayer perceptron using Noda samples as training data. Combination of elements and number of layers and perceptron are determined by the brute-force search method applied to the Noda samples. The results show that all event deposits determined in the Wakabayashi samples are tsunami deposits. These results indicate the possibility of highly accurate discrimination without being affected by sampling points or depositional ages, or by selecting appropriate supervised data. To combine the techniques of machine learning and geochemical discrimination, simple determination systematics are developed for tsunami deposits using supervised data and analyses of evaluation data.","PeriodicalId":51539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geography","volume":"C-23 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135218877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TPACK-related strengths and weaknesses of the lessons illuminate the challenges the participants faced while trying to incorporate GST into practice. Overall, participants were proficient in aligning the selected GST with the curriculum goals or instructional strategies targeted.
