Joint press release (in Japanese)

Highlights

• Robust paleotsunami history was estimated by continuous radiocarbon dating.
• Paleotsunami history of large tsunamis can be reconstructed by dating at potentially inundated only by large tsunamis.
• Tsunami interval is greater during the past 400 years than it was earlier along the Sanriku coast.
