Low-frequency events, such as earthquakes or eruptions, that can cause large-scale disasters are a major issue for society. These events have a long occurrence interval, and their event deposits, which are preserved for a long time, are the key to revealing their real image. In Beppu Bay, event deposit research began with active fault studies in the 1980s, and it has subsequently been conducted by many researchers and from several perspectives. This accumulated knowledge has been revealing not only the paleo-event records but also their complicated recording processes. It is important for the development of event deposit analysis to understand all recording processes, by combining these event deposit records with paleo environmental information, ancient docu-ment records, and prospective simulations.

Pleistocene marine terrace show uplifting trend on a timescale of 10 5 years along the northernmost part of the Sanriku coast. However, chronology of marine terraces along other parts of the coast has not progressed until now because of lack of tephra layering. In addition, distribution of flat surfaces previously interpreted as marine terraces is fragmentary along the southern Sanriku coast. These geomorphological and geological studies suggest that the Sanriku coast should be seg-mented into multiple deformation areas when assessing crustal deformation related to a megathrust earthquake. For the segmentation of crustal deformation area, continuing analyses of incised valley fill succession and reconsideration of the origin and chronology of flat surfaces previously interpreted as marine terraces are needed. OSL dating method is expected to clarify the formation age of marine terraces distributed along the Sanriku coast.

This paper reviews recent (from 2000 to 2016) progress in cold region Quaternary science studies undertaken by Japanese researchers in domestic and overseas sites. Studies on glacial processes, periglacial processes, and landslide processes have progressed during the past 17 years, and many peer-reviewed papers have been published in national and international journals. However, the current robust growth does not seem likely to continue for the next several decades due to aging and depopulation of researchers in this field. In addition, it was found that the Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-kenkyu), a periodical journal of the Japan Association for Quaternary Research (JAQUA), has not been chosen by researchers as a venue for publishing research papers. A major struc-tural reform of JAQUA seems to be necessary. Outreach and educational programs are also required to attract new members to JAQUA.
