Abstract
The purpose of this symposium was to draw more preasely the curve of postglacial sealevel change and to examine its relationships with the coastal landform development. The speakers and commentators were as follows; (1) M. Nakayama et al. (on Hokkaido), (2) K. Nitobe (on Aomori Prefecture), (3) K. Omoto et al. (on Sendai Bay area), (4) Y. Toyoshima (on San-in), (5) Y. Ota et al. (on Kikaishima), (6) T. Nakata et al. (on Nansei Islands), (7) I. Akojima (on Jomon sealevel), (8) T. Takahashi (on rock-coast and high sealevel), (9) M. Oya (on some examples from Asian continent), (10) Y. Yoshida (on Antarctica), (11) H. Moriwaki (Review of previous sealevel change curves), (12) T. Wako (Comment on sealevel identification), (13) S. Fujii (Comment on Hokuriku and Atlantic coast), (14) M. Nogami (Comment on glacial mass balance and sealevel change rate). The problems discussed in this symposium were well summarized by H. Iseki as follows (1) The sealevel changed with fluctuations around Japanese islands and the proposed curves of sealevel change are proved to have some similarities. (2) The identification of former sealevel became more accurate. (3) Possibility of adoption of other dating than radiocarbon method. (4) Need of glaciological examination of sealevel change.
