Erosive marine terraces provide valuable evidence for reconstructing past tectonic uplift and sea-level fluctuations. Following the devastating earthquake near the Noto Peninsula in 2024, we used the relationship between terrace formation and landscape change to investigate patterns of uplift and earthquake recurrence. To conduct this analysis, we collected sediment samples from multiple terraces and successfully applied feldspar luminescence dating to establish their depositional ages. The results demonstrate the reliability of this method and enable further investigations of long-term seismic activity and coastal landscape evolution for both Noto Peninsula and Sado Island.
