Seafloor deposits on the slope offshore Japan can become remobilised by large Earthquakes, and can then end up in the deep trench that is the ultimate site of deposition. Therefore, studying the chemical composition of these Earthquake-related mud layers can eventually help to reconstruct the past dynamics and ferocity of Earthquakes in Japan over the last tens of thousands of years. In addition, these trench sediments are highly efficient at burying carbon away from the atmosphere, and can therefore contribute significantly to storing CO2 fixed as biomass for vert long time periods, helping to balance the continuous addition of this greenhouse gas to the atmosphere by human activity.

日本近海斜坡上的海底沉积物可能会因大地震而重新流动，然后最终进入深海沟，这是最终的沉积地点。因此，研究这些与地震相关的泥层的化学成分最终可以帮助重建日本过去数万年地震的动态和猛烈程度。此外，这些海沟沉积物能够高效地将碳从大气中埋藏起来，因此可以极大地有助于长期储存作为生物质固定的二氧化碳，有助于平衡人类活动向大气中持续添加的这种温室气体。
