Description

<p> In order to evaluate coastal geomorphic changes and potential impacts of tsunami-induced sediment transport in Kochi Prefecture caused by the Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake, numerical simulations of sediment transport over a wide area of Tosa Bay have been performed. The regional features of potential impact was provided. The tsunami-induced sediment transport can cause not only large-scale erosion and sedimentation around the coastal zone but also increase in tsunami hazards. Note that the influences depend significantly on uncertainties in bed materials, i.e. grain sizes and distributions of erodible/noerodible surfaces. The uncertainties in the simulations will be improved through acquisition of detailed sedimentary data. Further discussions considering the regional characteristics of tsunami-induced sediment transport will provide the resilient countermeasures to tsunami disaster.</p>
