Abstract

Smaller rivers in Japan can be characterized as having short distances from the mountainous areas of the source of sediment production to the estuary and steep slopes. Therefore, sediment produced from the mountains and river channels at the time of flooding immediately contributes significantly to the sediment dynamics at the estuary and coast in a short period of time. On the other hand, there have been few observations or studies that have measured the volume of landslides and riverbed fluctuations in the mountains in the entire basin before and after the occurrence of flooding, and quantitatively linked them to the amount of landslide movement and shoreline changes in the entire basin. This paper discusses the Chitose River basin (basin area A: 30km2, river channel distance L: 0.179km, stream gradient I: 1/14) and the Niizaki River basin (A: 16km2, L: 0.213km, I:1/17), which have an estuary on the Yugawara coast in Kanagawa Prefecture. The effect of sediment production from mountains and riverbeds at the time of flooding on coastal sediment dynamics on July 3rd, 2021.
