  • Preliminary Survey on the Tetori Group in Southern Ishikawa, Japan 石川
    石川県立自然史資料館研究報告 第3号 Bulletin of the Ishikawa Museum of Natural History, 3: 49-62 (2013) Preliminary survey on the Tetori Group in southern Ishikawa, Japan Yoshihiro KATSURA 石川県南部に分布する手取層群に対する予備調査 桂嘉志浩 Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Itoshiro and overlying Akaiwa subgroups of the Tetori Group are distributed in the Shiramine Area of Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The Kuwajima Formation, the upper division of the lower subgroup, is considered to have been deposited under lacustrine and associated alluvial environments. It has yielded a reasonable number of vertebrate remains that are small, allochthonous, and mostly disarticulated. The Akaiwa Formation, the lower division of the upper subgroup, is suggested to have been formed by fluvial systems with strong currents and rapid deposition. Except for plant fragments, fossils are uncommon. Vertebrates, including dinosaurs, occur in the Kitadani Formation, the upper division of the upper subgroup, in northeastern Fukui Prefecture, and this formation crops out in the Shiramine Area. Therefore, there is a chance that articulated large vertebrate fossils are preserved in the subgroups exposed in the area. However, the indurated nature of the rocks, precipitous topology, thick vegetation cover, and overall poor exposures represent significant challenges to making such a discovery. Further, based on the taphonomy of the observed vertebrates, finding well-preserved large vertebrates in the area will be difficult and require much time and financial support. Organizing a survey group of trained

  • Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology
    Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology Ito, Kazumasa Head of planning office, Research Center for Sustainable Communities, CTI Engineering Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan Senior Councilor, Technical Coordination and Cooperation Division, Foundation for River Improvement and Restoration Tokyo, Japan Lecturer Musashi Institute of Technology Dept. of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo, Japan Abstract : About 50% of the population and 75% of the properties concentrate on the flood plain in Japan. The rivers have intimate relationship with our lives. Those conditions have been seen after modern river improvement projects that began about a century ago. The technology which was introduced from foreign countries was improved in conformity with geographical features and the climate condition of our nation, and has redeveloped as a Japanese original technology. In 1940's, Japan had serious natural disasters that were caused by large- scale typhoons. Those typhoons wiped out everything completely. Even though the government realized the importance of flood control and management after those natural disasters, civil work still aimed to economic development. Those construction works have become the one of factors for concentrating population and degrading natural environment in urban areas. Deterioration of river environment has become serious issue in urban development and main cause of pollution. The approaches for environmental restorations which were started about 30 years ago aimed to harmonize with nature environment and cities and human lives. There have been going on many projects called “river environmental improvement projects”, the “nature friendly river works” and “natural restoration projects.” The society has tried to find a way to live in harmony with nature.

Twenty-four previously known, 2 new, and 4 unidentified species in 17 gen- era and 12 families are recorded. Three dubious literature records are also mentioned. All 30 con- firmed species, except Sanguinicolidae gen. sp. (Aporocotylidae), are described and figured. Life cy- cles are discussed where known. Philopinna kawamutsu sp. nov. (Didymozoidae) was found in the connective tissue between the vertebrae and the air bladder near the esophagus of Nipponocypris tem- minckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Genarchopsis yaritanago sp. nov. (Derogenidae) was found in the intestine of Tanakia lanceolata (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Asymphylodora innominata (Faust, 1924) comb. nov. is proposed for A. macrostoma Ozaki, 1925 (Lissorchiidae). A key to the families, genera, and species of these digeneans is provided. Host-parasite and parasite- host lists are given. Key words: adult digeneans, Trematoda, parasites, morphology, life cycle, Philopinna kawamutsu sp.

  • Hakusan Tedorigawa, Japan
    Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark Hakusan Tedorigawa, Japan Geographical and geological summary 1. Physical and human geography The aUGGp is located on the west coast of Japan, in Ishikawa Prefecture. It covers all of Hakusan City, with a total area of 754.93 km2. It includes Mt. Hakusan (2,702m elevation), and the Tedori River basin flowing from Mt. Hakusan to the Sea of Japan. The plains by the sea have a relatively mild climate, averaging 13-14oC. Annual precipitation is 2,000 to 3,000mm – higher than the Japan average. The mountains have an average temperature about 2oC lower, and annual rainfall exceeds 4,000mm. Mt. Hakusan is the highest peak, and the surrounding area is one of the world’s high snowfall areas. Up to 10m of snowfall can be seen, with surrounding villages receiving about 2.5m on average. Much snow melts in spring, with almost all melted by autumn. The abundance of moving water has brought many blessings to the residents, and shaped the topography. The Tedori River is one of the steepest in the world, with an average gradient of 1/27. This formed many erosive features such as V-shaped valleys and gorges in the upper to mid-river, and transports sediment downstream. Mt. Hakusan’s flora and fauna are considered some of the best in Japan, and are protected through the Mount Hakusan Biosphere Reserve, and the Hakusan National Park, etc. Mt. Hakusan is the western-most alpine area of Japan, and as such is the western most distribution of many alpine species. Furthermore, with the golden eagle at the top of the ecosystem, Mt.
