Reef sediment investigation @Amami
(Apr. 24-28, 2016)

Together with Prof. Nakamori, Shiraishi investigated the reef deposits found on Amami Oshima. We discovered structures that could be called coralline algae reefs.
Calcareous green algae such as Halimeda and Dasyclads were also commonly seen.
We were also able to observe accretionary complex components that form the base of the island, such as basalt and melange.
