We finished
the coring in Lake Kawaguchi, it was a real success! Lake Kawaguchi is a shallow lake with a
maximum depth of 12 m. It is characterized by three sub-basins – Western,
central and East basins. We investigated two sites, one in the western basin
and one in the central basin.
In the
Western basin, we cored until 5 m depth. We could not go deeper as we expected
according to the seismic profile. The coring system was blocked in a massive
mass transport deposit. In the central basin, we went until 8 m deep. Most of
the long cores were duplicated for the Japanese team. The cores that could not
be duplicate were split at Mount Fuji Research Institute.
Because "a picture is worth a thousand words", so here are the pictures of Kawaguchi-ko survey !
