Abstract

Recent studies on the evolution of Japanese riverine coastal plains and sea-level changes in the late Quaternary are reviewed. Studies on the landforms and sediments of the plains have been done in many riverine coastal plains using various research techniques. Landforms and sediments of the riverine coastal plains have changed remarkably since the last glacial maximum. Several studies have clarified the paleogeography of the plains, and also pointed out that the landform evolution of the plains has been influenced by minor fluctuations of sea-level changes in the late Holocene.
