This paper presents some basic concepts on possible cooperative framework for contributing to disaster mitigation during volcanic eruptions with the intention of enhancing discussion among members of the Volcanological Society of Japan. At first, this paper describes some examples of problems that have been argued during recent volcanic eruptions because of improper risk communication of volcanologists, and then, outlines the present state of a coordination system for effective disaster assistance by multiple stakeholders with a focus on recent efforts in public health and medical communities. Preliminary ideas on “Expert Assistance Team during Volcanic Crises” are also presented for further discussions.

The Tokachidake volcano group, central Hokkaido, is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan; three magmatic eruptions occurred from the crater area on the northwestern flank of Tokachidake in the 20th century. The Sandan-yama, Kamihorokamettokuyama, and Sampōzan edifices are on the southern flank of the volcano, and the first two bound the west-facing Nukkakushi crater. Although fumarolic activity and hydrothermal alteration are ongoing at Nukkakushi crater, its eruptive history remains unknown. Therefore, we performed a geological investigation of the Nukkakushi crater area. Based on topographical features, we inferred the following eruptive history. Sampōzan and Kamihorokamettokuyama formed during ca. 70-60 ka, after which the northern flank of Sampōzan collapsed and a new edifice (Nukkakushi volcano) was built within the collapse scarp. Finally, the collapse of the western flank of Nukkakushi formed Nukkakushi crater—perhaps during the Holocene, according to previous work. We identified eight Holocene eruptive products generated from the Nukkakushi crater area, the most recent of which was generated from a crater on the western flank of Sandan-yama sometime since the early 18th century. We also recognized three debris avalanche/landslide deposits that were generated within the last 750 years. Comparing the eruptive products of the northwestern crater area of Tokachidake with those of the Nukkakushi crater area revealed that magmatic eruptions from the two craters alternated until 1.8 ka. Their distinct magmatic compositions suggest the simultaneous existence of two isolated magma systems beneath Tokachidake and Nukkakushi, at least until that time. Since 1.8 ka, magmatic eruptions at the northwestern crater area of Tokachidake and phreatic eruptions at the Nukkakushi crater area have occurred in parallel. Moreover, around Nukkakushi crater, small-scale collapses/landslides have occurred. Previous studies recognized hydrothermal changes at Nukkakushi crater area, originating from the northwestern crater area of Tokachidake around the last two magmatic eruptions; it is therefore presumed that the Nukkakushi crater area was hydrothermally altered, even during periods of little eruptive activity. Such continuous and pervasive hydrothermal alteration explains the frequent collapses of edifices. The parallel yet contrasting eruptive activities in these adjacent areas are important for forecasting future eruptive activities and mitigating volcanic hazards.

Statistical treatment of volcanic eruptions clearly shows the regularity of power law between the frequencies and the scales not only in the global scale but also in regional and individual volcano scales. However, ancient smaller eruption events tend to be not recorded, compared with recent data. In the log frequency-VEI plot, incompletely normalized frequency which ignores the time-dependent nature of the database, provides a gentler regression line than when the data time-dependence is considered; that is, the former reflects low numbers of small eruptions insufficiently recorded. The slopes of the regression lines are similar, irrespective of area scales. This regularity may help our understanding about the potential of future large eruptions in not only individual volcanoes but also caldera regions. Volcanic activity in Japan has been quiet recently; no VEI 4 eruptions occurred after the early 20th Century, and no VEI 5 eruptions did since the middle 18th Century. Considering the regularity of volcanic eruptions in the arc scale, it is likely that Japan will experience these large eruptions near future.

How subduction begins and its consequences for global tectonics remain one of the essential outstanding problems of plate tectonics. Two different endmember mechanisms for subduction initiation have been hypothesized: spontaneous, and induced (or forced). Numerical models suggest that subduction initiation is induced by externally forced compression along a preexisting discontinuity in an oceanic plate such as a fracture zone or transform faults. However, it has been pointed out that spontaneous subduction must have occurred at some points in Earth's history to initiate plate tectonics, and recent numerical models demonstrated that lateral thermal/compositional buoyancy contrast along plate discontinuity or within lithosphere can cause spontaneous subduction initiation. Recent geological and geophysical surveys in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana fore-arc have revealed igneous processes in the initial stages of subduction. The oldest magmatism after subduction initiation generated MORB-like fore-arc basalts, which was associated with seafloor spreading caused by onset of sinking of slab into mantle. Then boninitic magmatism followed by tholeiitic to calc-alkaline arc lavas collectively makes up the extrusive sequence of the fore-arc crust. This magmatic evolution from initial basaltic magmatism to establishment of normal arc magmatism took several million years. Fore-arc stratigraphy observed in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc shares some of the key geologic and petrologic characteristics with many supra-subduction zone ophiolite, which implies that fore-arc crustal section produced in the initial stage of oceanic island arc formation could correspond to in-situ section of supra-subduction zone ophiolite prior to obduction. Recent ocean drilling projects targeting initial stage of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc inception revealed that subduction initiation to form the Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc took place spontaneously. The drilling results also revealed that the whole arc was established on the ocean crust produced associated with subduction initiation.

Old historical documents on 1779 AD An’ei eruption of Sakurajima, southwest Japan were collected from distal places as well as those from neighboring area of the volcano. These records revealed that the ash-fall front traveled to the northeast at about 50-100km/h, reached as far as Tohoku district 1200km from Sakurajima, and covered area of ca. 2.33×105km2. Investigation of old documents helped to improve understanding of behavior of the volcano and environmental effects at the time of infrequent and great eruption. The wide distribution of ash-fall in 1779 Sakurajima eruption suggests that there is a high potential that ash discharged by future eruption of Sakurajima may cover down through the mainland of Japan. We should keep in mind both physical and economical effects of ash-fall in assessing the activity and making the scenario of an eruption.

A mixed eruption took place at Medake, biggest central cone of the composite volcano Akita-Komagatake, in 1970-71. This is the first magmatic eruption of the volcano in the historical age. All the former eruptions on record were phreatic explosions. The new lava is andesite, though older lavas of the central cones are basalts.

The Akita-Komagatake, located in the central part of the Ou Back-Bone Range, northeast Japan, is a Quaternary volcano with two calderas. The tephra, younger than 13,500 y.B.P., erupted from this volcano, are stratigraphically divided into thirteen formations, namely AK-13 to AK-1 in ascending order, on the basis of buried soil and loess intercalated. The tephra consists of three types of lithologies: such coarse-grained essential materials as pumice and scoria (type 1), well-sorted black to brown sandy ash (type 2), and fine-grained ash frequently including accretionary lapilli (type 3). These lithologic types are resulted from different styles of volcanic eruption: Plinian to subplinian style eruption (type 1), vulcanian to phreatoplinian style eruption (type 2) and phreatoplinian style eruption (type 3). ^<14>C measurements on humic soil or woods just below or above the tephra reveal the tendency that the explosive eruptions at the Akita-Komagatake volcano occured during three stages; 13,500 to 11,600 y.B,P., 10,000 to 7,100 y.B.P. and 4,000 to 1,000 y.B.P. In the first stage, AK-13, main part of which is called the Koiwai Pumice, and AK-12, the Yanagisawa Pumice, were erupted. During the eruption of the Koiwai Pumice, the Obonai Pyroclasitic Flow Deposits was produced. The volumes of erupted materials for the tephra including the pyroclastic flow deposit are more than 0-6 km^3, and two calderas are thought to have been formed in this stage. In the second stage, AK-11 to AK-6 were erupted. AK-9, the Arasawa Pumice (newly named in this paper), and AK-8, the Horikiri Pumice, are dominated by pumice and scoria (lithologic type 1), and their volumes of erupted materials are more than 0.1 km^3. The volumes for other tephra in this stage is more than 0.046km^3. Through the second stage to the last stage, the volumes of erupted materials tend to become smaller than 0.046km^3.

Surveys of magnetic total intensity and gravity were conducted to reveal the underground structure of Medake, one of the central cones in the cadera of Akita-Komaga-take Volcano, from which about 1.42 million m^3 of lavas flowed in the period of 1970-1971 eruption. Magnetic and gravity anomalies obtained show some characteristic features suggesting the subsurface structure. Long wave length magnetic anomalies show that Me-dake is composed of uniformly magnetized volcanic rocks, lavas and scoriae, On the other hand, short ones found at the summit of Me-dake indicate there is a body with reversal or weaker magnetization than the surroundings. The distribution of the Bouguer anomalies is characterized by a narrow area of higher values of anomalies at the summit and a trend of higher values in northwest of Me-dake and lower ones in southeast. The latter suggests the basement structure of the caldera. The former implies an exislence of more dense intrusive rocks under the ground surface. Both centers of short wave length magnetic anomaly and of the narrow area of higher value of gravity locate at the same place about 100 m northeast of the 1970 crater on the summit. Judging from the topographic features, this place is one of the old craters. To interpret magnetic and gravity anomalies, numerical analyses for demagnetization model and for more dense intrusion model with various shapes were carried out independently. Finally, magnetic anomalies can be expained by a demagnetized vertical pentagonal prism, of which size is 80 m in N-S, 150 m in E-W and 300 m in thickness and of which top is at the depth of 5-10 m. Gravity anomalies can be interpreted by a more dense vertical rectanglar prism, of which size is 30 m×110 m×300 m and the top is at 15 m deep. The zones of high ground temperature and fumaroles are found at the surroundings of the 1970 crater and the area of the higher gravity anomalies. The fumarolic area preceding the 1970 eruption was found at north of the crater. We can infer the processes of the 1970 eruption by using the interpreting subsurface model of Me-dake and the distribution of fumaroles. At the first stage of eruptive activity in 1970, magma intruded into northeast of the 1970 crater. At the second, most of magma passed through the vent conncted with the crater and flowed out. Small quantity of magma remained in the narrow part at northeast of the crater make the present magnetic and gravity anomalies and fumaroles.

ペルー・チリ海溝に沿ってのプレートの沈み込む角度は, 約30度であるが, その上面が深さ100kmのところで水平になっている部分がある.現在の活火山のギャップは, まさに水平なスラブがあるところと一致している.そして, これら両者は2~3百万年前から出現したと考えられる.沈み込んだスラブが, 30度の傾きをもったまま, さらに深部まで続く領域と水平になっている領域との違いは, その上部のマントル・ウェッジ部の構造-特に温度構造-を決定的に違わせている.一般に島弧の火山活動は, (1)沈み込むスラブがもたらす含水鉱物からの脱水反応によるH₂Oの供給と, (2) H₂Oが供給されれば溶融相が形成される状態(Potential melting状態)が必要条件と考えられる.したがって, 深さ100kmで水平に"沈み込む"スラブは, (2)の条件を満たさない温度構造を形成していると考えられる.ナスカ海嶺とペルー・チリ海溝との会合点以北に分布する活火山のギャップの領域では, 下部地殻も上部マントルも部分溶融の状態にないらしい.地殻熱流量のデータは不十分ではあるが, これと矛盾していない.一方, 南部ペルー(及び北部チリ)においては, 重力異常などから推定される地殻の厚さが60km以上の部分(アルティプラーノ)に活火山が存在する.そこでは30度の角度で沈み込むスラブ, 厚い地殻, 地殻熱流量が90mW/m²以上であることなどから, 深さ50km以深のガブロ質の組成をもった地殻は, 少くとも部分溶融の状態にあると結論できる.このようにして推定された温度構造から考えると, 中部アンデスにおける現在の火山活動は, 下部地殻の部分溶融状態と密接な関係にあるといえよう.

The Myojin-sho volcano is one of the active submarine volcanos in the northern part of the Izu-Ogasawara arc about 400 km south of Tokyo. This volcano is a somma edifice of the Myojin-sho caldera, 6.5 km×8 km in diameter and 1000 m deep. The topography, seismic profiler, magnetic and gravity surveys around the Myojin-sho caldera were conducted by the Hydrographic Department, Japan (JHD) in 1998 and 1999. The geophysical structures of the caldera were derived, and the possible cause of the caldera formation is discussed. The residual gravity anomalies were calculated from the observed free-air anomalies by subtracting the gravity effect of 2-layer subbottom model structure, which amounts to 10 m Gals in a localized zone from the caldera to the northern somma. Bouguer gravity anomalies with the assumed density of 2.0 and 2.4 g/cm3 also show the positive anomaly over the same zone, which is accompanied by the acoustic and magnetic basement depression. Moreover, it seems that the sediment volume nearby Myojin-sho caldera cannot compensate the volume loss of caldera (20 to 41 km3). These features insist that the Myojin-sho caldera is caused by the collapse of the pre-caldera edifice rather than the explosion. The origin of the high gravity caldera may be ascribed to the magma pocket causing the depression, instead of the high density erupted material filling the caldera floor. The magnetization intensity of 4.8-5.3 A/m at the Myojin-sho volcano is derived from the magnetic anomaly, which may claim that the Myojin-sho volcano consists of andesitic to basaltic rock rather than dacitic rock. On the other hand, magnetization of the central cone of Takane-sho volcano is estimated to be 1.1-1.9 A/m, which is consistent with the fact that dacite pumices were sampled.

So far the ground deformation associated with a magma supply system of Aso Volcano had not been discussed because any clear signals in ground deformations and volcanic earthquake activity had been hardly observed near the Nakadake active crater during its activity enhancement cycles. In this article, however, the deflation source and magma supply system is investigated by the long-term geodetic surveys. The secular subsidence is observed in the Kusasenri area about 3km west of the Nakadake active crater from the 1951’s levelling survey in compiled levelling surveys along the Bouchuu-line since 1937. While the ground deformation near the active crater has been obscure. The source of this deflation near the Kusasenri area is estimated on the basis of the spherical pressure source model through the non-linear least square method with using recent survey data which include the Bouchuu-line and an extended survey route. The deflation source is located beneath the Kusasenri area at about 5km depth. However, recent volume changes at the spherical deflation source are smaller than before 1959. The location of the deflation source coincides with the low P- and S-wave velocity body in the 3D seismic velocity structure. This fact supports a hypothesis that the low seismic wave velocity body represents a magma reservoir. Therefore this magma reservoir beneath the Kusasenri area must be connected to the Nakadake active crater. We inferred a rigid conduit in the magma supply system from the obscure ground deformation in the vicinity of the Nakadake crater.

The purpose of this paper is to give an analysis of the spreading of disaster information in the case of 1888 A.D. eruption of Bandai Volcano. A socio-historical approach focusing on newspaper articles, magazines, and other printed matters is adopted to analyze the disaster process. The 1888 eruption of Bandai Volcano was the first experience of a great natural disaster for the Meiji government, which was just under the process of developing the modern nation. The social structure of information in the transit time and its relation to the modernization process in the educational field of physical geography, will be discussed. The newspaper articles about the Bandai Eruption can be characterized into the following three stages in chronological order; l) Reports on the outbreak of the disaster, the initial damage, and the dispatch of the government officials for investigations of the volcano. 2) Further reports on the damage and the donation campaign raised by the newspapers. 3) More on donation campaigns for much more donations among the general public. These three stages clearly show that the social background had changed from the pre-modern society. Having gone through the contemporary understandings about volcanic eruptions and earthquakes with the age of Bandai eruption, and taking the modernization of educational system into consideration, the following reasons for the changes can be pointed out; (a) After the Meiji Restoration accompanied with the so-called "Scientific Revolution" of Japan, the young generation raised under the modern educational system had more scientific attitude to natural phenomena than those of previous generations. (b) The combined effect of the traditional system of charity activities and the new type of donation which was raised by newspapers and other media, such as disaster photographs or charity performances were quite effective in helping the people struck with the disaster under the conditions of the insufficient governmental relief.

Aso Volcano in central Kyushu, SW Japan, is one of the largest caldera volcanoes in the world. Aso caldera, 25 km north-south and 18 km east-west, was formed by four gigantic ignimbrite eruptions: Aso-1 (270 ka), Aso-2 (140 ka), Aso-3 (120 ka) and Aso-4 (90 ka). The only outlet of the caldera, named as Tateno gorge, is located at the western edge of the caldera. Since the gorge’s formation history remains poorly studied, a detailed geologic study has been conducted to clarify the stratigraphic relationships between lavas and Aso ignimbrites, and evaluate the formation age of the gorge. The gorge walls are composed mainly of pre-Aso volcanic rocks (0.8-0.4 Ma), and densely welded Aso-2 pyroclastic flow deposits occur on both northern and southern walls of the gorge. Andesitic lava flows (Hokamaki lava) are found between the Aso-1 and Aso-2 ignimbrites in the gorge, and the lavas show potassium-rich characteristics that are indicative of the whole-rock chemistry of magmatic products from Aso Volcano. Additionally, welded Aso-1 blocks were observed in the gravel beds (lahar deposits) underlying the Hokamaki lava from borehole cores. The evidences suggest that the origin of Tateno gorge, which was draining a pre-existing caldera, formed after the Aso-1 ignimbrite eruption (270 ka), and thereafter Hokamaki lavas and the Aso-2 pyroclastic flows (140 ka) passed through the gorge.

Mt. Mihara of Izu-Oshima Volcano exploded on November 16, 1987 after one year's rest of its eruptivity. The eruption followed an intensive activity of earthquakes at the summit which began in January 1987. We studied the earthquakes and their mechanisms with a closely installed seismograph network around the summit. We found that most of the earthquakes occurred very narrow portion just below the summit crater with radius of 300 m. Their focal depths are shallower than 100 m above sea level. Most of the focal mechanisms are of normal types. The seismic activity ceased after this event. These facts show that the earthquakes were caused by small break of the bottom of the crater which was filled with the lava of the 1986 eruption, probably due to the load of the lava. The event on November 16 was the final break of the bottom which supported the load of the lava above it. The explosion on November 16 was caused by the sudden fall of both the bottom and the lava above it. The pressurized gas in the cavity below the bottom moved explosively upward in exchange of the falling body.

Associated with the 1914 great eruption at Sakurajima volcano, southwestern Japan, the maximum height of volcanic cloud is discussed based on collected documents, sketches and photographs in those days. A series of photographs up to around 10 : 40 on January 12 (in Japanese Standard Time) represents that the volcanic cloud height attained to 7,000 to 8,000 m above sea level. After then, it proved that several documents reported the height to be 9,500-15,000 m, or even more than 18,000 m a.s.l, although it is difficult to obtain reliable evidences. Considering these reports and other observations from a distance, the height of 15,000 m is tentatively proposed here as a possible maximum value. According to an empirical relation, an eruption rate of small pyroclastic materials is suggested as, roughly speaking, 5,000 tons per second or 20 millions of tons per hour, if the volcanic cloud was 15,000 m in height.
