Nantai volcano (2,486m a.s.l.), a near-conical stratovolcano with a summit crater ~1km wide, is located along the volcanic front of NE Japan. To date, the eruptive history and characteristics of this volcano have been poorly studied, except for an explosive eruption that occurred at ~17 cal. ka BP (Stage 2 eruption). In this paper, we present the results of investigation of the stratigraphy of recent proximal eruption products, the tephrostratigraphy of the northeastern foot of the volcano, and new radiocarbon ages. The results show that at least six eruptions of Nantai volcano have occurred after Stage 2 eruption, and we refer to these as Stage 3 eruptions. We identify four tephra layers and one pyroclastic flow deposit in the soil sections above the Stage 2 pumice flow deposit, at the northeastern foot of the volcano. These are classified in the ascending order as: (1) Nantai-Bentengawara Tephra 4 (Nt-Bt4), (2) Bentengawara Pyroclastic Flow Deposit, (3) Nt-Bt3, (4) Nt-Bt2, and (5) Nt-Bt1. The Nt-Bt2 is phreatic fallout with no juvenile material; the other tephra layers are phreatomagmatic fallouts containing juvenile pyroclasts together with ash aggregates. Six Stage 3 eruption products are identified within and around the summit crater: (1) a blocky lava flow (Osawa Lava) exposed on the northern crater wall, (2) a partly dissected scoria cone and (3) a poorly-preserved tuff ring (and its resedimented deposits) on the steep crater floor, (4) a subaqueous lava and associated lava fragments sandwiched by lacustrine deposits, (5) a tuff breccia containing hydrothermally-altered lava block and clayey matrix, and (6) a stratigraphically uppermost phreatomagmatic tephra (Nantai-Yudonoyama Tephra). All the proximal eruption products, except for the subaqueous lava, can be correlated with the tephra layers and the pyroclastic flow deposit on the northeastern foot based on stratigraphic positions, lithologies, and geochemical affinities. Our study reveals that five tephra-forming eruptions (ca. 14, 12, 8, 7.5, and 7 cal. ka BP) and one non-explosive subaqueous eruption (between 12 and 8 cal. ka BP) occurred during Stage 3, from a discrete eruption center inside the summit crater. Moreover, the tephra-forming eruptions were diverse in style, with strombolian (12 cal. ka BP), phreatomagmatic (14, 8, and 7 cal. ka BP), and phreatic (7.5 cal. ka BP) eruptions. Eruption style was determined primarily by vent position and spatiotemporal variations in local hydrological factors (e.g., the presence or absence of a crater lake, wet lacustrine deposits, and streams).

A systematic K-Ar age determination has been made on thirty-seven samples from the Older Ontake volcanic products, Ontake Volcano, central Japan, with analytical uncertainties mostly within ±5% (1σ level). The “Kuragoehara Lava”, which the previous researchers used as a key bed for stratigraphic correlation, gives significantly different eruption ages in each disthbution area, and some lavas classified into the same stratigraphic units among each area also show quite diffrent K-Ar ages. Hence, a revised volcano-stratigraphy is proposed based on the radiometric data obtained in the present study. The Older Ontake Volcano may be a compound volcano consisting of more than four stratovolcanoes with different vents. The first one, “;Tobu Volcano Group”, erupted at around 750-650 ka on the wide eastern side. The second one, “Tsuchiurazawa Volcano”, erupted at around 680-570 ka mainly in the western area. The third one, “Uetawarayama Volcano”, produced lavas at around 540-520 ka, and the products filled along valleys in the western area. The last one, “Mikasayama Volcano” erupted at around 440-420 ka in the southeastern area. The inactive period between the Older and Younger Ontake volcanic products continued for more than three hundred thousand years. The present study has revealed that the K-Ar age determination is effective for estimating a time gap between the Quatermary volcanic products whose stratigraphic relation can not be well defined in field.

Recent achievements in seismic studies of volcanic structure are summarized in this article. Seismic studies of volcanic structure was enhanced and advanced extensively in 1990's. The advance of the study was supported by new compact and light weighted digital recorders and by popularization of 3-D travel time inversion algorithm. Seismological characters in volcanic structure were revealed and were represented as high and low velocity anomalies, concentrated seismicity and intra-crust seismic reflectors. Important problems for seismic studies of volcanic structure are presented as more penetration, more resolution and more quantification of seismic characters in active volcanoes, which should be solved in next decade.

A large amount of pyroclastic materials (ca. 1.7 km3) was erupted during the 1707 eruption of Fuji Volcano. Variety of lithic fragments has been recognized in the pyroclastic fall deposits, namely, accessory and accidental lava fragments, gabbros, and granitoids. A great variety of petrologic features is observed in gabbroic fragments consisting of olivine gabbro norite, gabbro norite, troctolite and anorthosite. The gabbros are divided into O, P and F groups on the basis of modal ratios of olivine, plagioclase and Fe-Ti oxide. O group mainly consists of plagioclase and olivine with minor amounts of pyroxenes and Fe-Ti oxide. O group is considered to have been adcumulated in the lower part of magma chamber because of their high depletion in incompatible elements, their well-sorted grain size and sedimentary structure. P group is composed of plagioclase, pyroxenes and minor amounts of olivine and Fe-Ti oxide. F group is similar to P group, but is enriched in Fe-Ti oxide. P and F groups are orthocumulates and may be solidified in the upper part and margin of magma chamber or dike because of their porphyritic texture. Such a variety of gabbros may correspond to the difference in location of the single gabbroic body beneath Fuji Volcano. The estimated source magma of the gabbros is similar to the basalt of Fuji Volcano in chemical and mineralogical compositions indicating that they are cognate origin. Chemical compositions of olivine and pyroxenes become magnesian and those of plagioclase become calcic with the decreasing of bulk-rock FeO*/MgO ratio. It suggests that they are the products of continuous fractional crystallization. The magma of the 1707 eruption could have come up from under the gabbroic body, which was the solidified basaltic magma chamber, and have caught and brought the rocks from the gabbroic body up to the surface as cognate xenoliths during the eruption.

The Asama-Maekake volcano has been active for about 10,000 years. Although the many pyroclastic fall deposits, which mainly consist of pumice fall layers, are indicative of past sub-Plinian eruptions, the stratigraphy of the deposits over the entire history of the Asama-Maekake Volcano has not yet been revealed. This is because the pyroclastic fall deposits are distributed in the various directions from the crater. Moreover, the deposits predating the 12th century have a similar occurrence and petrography, making it difficult to correlate deposits among different localities. Therefore, little information is available for the older eruptions. The pyroclastic fall deposit in the direction not leeward of the dominant wind is focused in this study. A pyroclastic fall deposit called Miyota pumice (referred to as As-My hereafter), which is characteristically distributed in the southern direction from the crater, was targeted. The distribution of As-My has barely been mapped owing to the difficulty resulting from its poor exposure. The 14C ages of the samples of black humus soil immediately beneath As-My at two localities were dated to 5720±30yBP and 5530±30yBP. These ages are almost the same as those of the pyroclastic fall deposits As-UB (Ubagahara) and As-Kn (Kuni) distributed on the northern flank. Since the stratigraphic relation among these deposits is difficult to determine, it is not clear whether As-My, As-UB, and As-Kn are products from a single eruption or different eruptive activities. At least, it can be considered that multiple sub-Plinian eruptions occurred around 6,000 years ago. In addition, black humus soil and intercalating four pumice fall deposits including As-My at a major outcrop on the SSE flank slope (Locality M72) provided information on the activity over the last 8,000 years, back to the earliest stage of the volcano. The 14C ages of samples of black humus soil taken from immediately beneath the pumice fall deposits were 3,830±30yBP, 4,710±30yBP, 5,530±30yBP (just beneath As-My), and 7,470±30yBP. This is the first time that such sequential data concerning eruptive ages on the flank slope has been obtained. Black soil contains angular lithic fragments, which are similar to the ash grains from Vulcanian eruptions (e.g., the 2004 eruption). This suggests that Vulcanian eruptions have occurred between sub-Plinian eruptions since the early stage of the Asama-Maekake volcano. Such information from outcrops on the flank slopes with various directions is required to reconstruct the detailed eruptive history.

Towada volcano is an active volcano located in the northern part of the Northeast Japan arc. Ogurayama Lava Dome (OLD), which is a dacitic lava dome located near the center of Towada volcano, has been regarded as a product of the latest eruptive episode A. In this paper, the author reports that the OLD is older than previously thought and that it was formed at the end of eruptive episode D'. The OLD overlies pyroclastic deposits of the eruptive episode E and is overlain by pyroclastic deposits of the eruptive episode C. These stratigraphic relations restrict the eruption age of the OLD to 9.2-6.2cal kyr BP. Within this time interval, two eruptive episodes (D' and D) are recognized as tephra fall deposits in the distal area. The distribution of Herai Ash from the eruptive episode D' shows that the source vent is located in the vicinity of the OLD. Furthermore, the petrological features of the OLD closely resemble those of the Herai Ash. These observations indicate that the OLD is the product of the eruptive episode D' (7.5cal kyr BP). The probable eruption sequence of the eruptive episode D' is as follows. Intermittent phreatomagmatic eruptions occurred in the earliest stage. These eruptions produced the lower part of the Herai Ash. Subsequent lava eruptions formed the OLD and accompanied intermittent vulcanian eruptions produced the main part of the Herai Ash. The source vent of the eruptive episode A is not the Ogurayama, because the Ogurayama was formed before this episode. Since the only crater topography currently recognized in the Towada volcano is the Nakanoumi crater (NC), the source vent of the eruptive episode A is considered to be the NC. Since the NC has been the main crater throughout the post-caldera stage, future eruptions will probably occur in the NC. There is the current NC at the bottom of the lake of 320m in depth. A detailed examination of probable eruption style in the future will be required for predicting volcanic hazard of Towada volcano.

The main stream of the researches for prediction of volcanic eruption in Japan has been promoted through the national program which was established in 1974. The research has been advanced based on the development of basic volcanology and on the accumulation of practical knowledge obtained through the occasional volcanic eruptions. As it was shown in the review of the recent volcanic eruptions in Japan and the measures taken to mitigate the disasters caused by these eruptions, the prediction of volcanic eruptions in Japan is, however, on the stage of empirical pattern recognition. It is still far away from prediction based on the models of the underlying dynamics of volcano. Even in such situation, public society asks when and where eruption will occur, and how long the eruption will continue. It is difficult to answer these questions; however it is necessary to provide useful information based on the monitoring of eruption and the application of the available knowledge for the mitigation of volcanic disaster. In this context, several issues which might be concerned in the research of prediction of volcanic eruption and in developing the measures to mitigate volcanic disasters are described.

This paper gives a brief review on the gravity flows sourced from volcanoes on land and under water. Pyroclastic flows are supported by internal gas and the air incorporated during flowage and run out a long distance as density currents. Ash-cloud umbrella is a special case of density current and the particle fallout from the umbrella is a transition to a dilute, pyroclastic density current. Subaqueous equivalents of pyroclastic flows are supported by internal gas and/or the water incorporated during flowage and are thus interpreted as either subaqueous pyroclastic flows in the strict sense or eruption-fed density currents. Debris avalanches and lahars are also important elements of volcaniclastic gravity flows both on land and under water. These pyroclastic and volcaniclastic gravity flows are thought to transform into traction-dominated flow, particle dispersion-dominated flow (grain or granular flow), fluid escape-dominated flow, or debris flows during flowage in response to the changes mainly of flow velocity, particle concentration, and shear stress. The details of these processes still remain in debate. The role of the heat in pyroclastic density current and subaqueous eruption-fed density current is a future subject to be solved.

Sanbe Volcano is a large lava dome, 2 km in diameter, emplaced at the center of an elliptical caldera with a long axis of 7 km and a short axis of 5 km. One crater is exposed in the center of this dome, and four peaks surround this crater. However, the basement depth of the caldera has not been determined. We have made gravity measurements around Mt. Sanbe in order to investigate the caldera morphology. The residual gravity anomaly (which is obtained after the regional gravity trend is taken away from the Bouguer anomaly, assumed to be 2.67 g/cm3 in density) is low at the center of Sanbe Caldera. Mass deficiency, estimated by Gauss's theorem, indicates that Sanbe Caldera is one of the low anomaly type calderas, as large as the Mashu caldera. Basement depression under Sanbe Caldera has been determined by three dimensional analysis, when the density contrast between the basement rocks and Sanbe volcanic rocks is 0.43 g/cm3. The depression is square shaped, with a steep rim and a flat floor. The square outline suggests that the depression part may be subsided along normal faults ; accordingly this caldera may have originated in a cauldron. The western and eastern rims of the depression correspond to the somma, but the northern and southern rims are discordant. The poor topographic expression in these areas may be due to collapse of the caldera walls. The deepest part of the basement is centered on the east side of the present crater. This deep center may be the only vent of Sanbe Volcano, because other depressions are not observed beneath the lava dome.

Nantai Volcano is a symmetrical stratovolcano, situated in the southern part of the Northeast Japan arc. Many geologic studies hitherto have suggested that the stratovolcano was formed during the Main stage, and the overlying pyroclastic materials and a lava flow were formed in the Later stage. Because no sedimentary gap is found between any deposits of the Later stage, it is inferred that all of the activity in the Later stage took place successively around 12ky BP (15-14 cal ka BP) and went dormant until now. However, we found a pyroclastic flow deposit named Bentengawara Pyroclastic Flow Deposit (BPFD) at the northeastern flank of the Nantai volcano about 2km from the summit crater. This deposit overlies an 80cm thick deposit of weathered ashy sediments that in turn overlies the Arasawa Pumice Flow Deposit, a member of the Later stage. The lower half of the BPFD consists of volcanic lapilli and ash that is remarkably fine-depleted while the upper half contains abundant scoria of mainly lapilli-block sized clasts. The deposit also includes a small number of breadcrust blocks and occasional accessory lava blocks and fragments of charred wood. The breadcrust blocks consist of a dense outer crust that is significantly fractured and a vesiculated interior. It is noteworthy that the edges of the cracks are sharp and never rounded, suggesting that the vaporization of the inner magma that produced these cracks took place just before or immediately following the settlement of the blocks. Paleomagnetic data from three breadcrust block samples indicate that the magnetic vectors of high temperature components are aligned with our present-day poles. Two pieces of charred wood were measured for their 14C ages with results of 12-11 cal ka BP. The whole rock chemistry of scoria and breadcrust blocks are determined to be significantly different from any of the rocks of the Later stage, but the accessory block in the BPFD has the similar chemistry to the Osawa Lava, the last product of the Later stage. We therefore suggest that the BPFD was deposited after the Later stage with a short (~3ka) dormant period between them. Since the age is possibly around 10ka, the Nantai volcano should be counted as active volcano based on the definition provided by the Meteorological Agency of Japan.

北海道クッタラ火山登別地熱地域,大湯沼の北東200m地点において,トレンチ調査(深さ6.3m)を行い,登別地熱地域の噴火史を解明した。トレンチ断面の層序は,12層の水蒸気噴火堆積物(厚さ3-100cm)と,それらに挟在するB-Tmテフラ,Us-bテフラからなる。12層の水蒸気噴火堆積物は,変質したデイサイト質石質岩片(最大粒径80cm)と粘土質のマトリクスから構成され,サグ構造を示すことから,登別地熱地域から噴出したと考えられる。各々の水蒸気噴火堆積物は土壌層を挟在し,12回の噴火が休止期を挟んで繰り返し起きたことを示す。水蒸気噴火堆積物の直下土壌層の放射性炭素年代測定値,および広域テフラとの対比により,水蒸気噴火は,約BC6450年,BC5370年,BC3980年,BC3440年,BC1990年,BC1710年,BC1280年,BC900年,BC200年,AD980年,AD1480年,およびAD1663年以降に起きたと推定される。登別地熱地域では,過去8500年間に12回以上の水蒸気噴火が起こり,噴火の頻度は700年に1回程度であると考えられる。

Free CO2 gas of deep (mantle+subducting slab) origin has been discharging accompanied by cold spring water of Hyoshimizu Hot Spring located at the eastern coast of Himeshima island, which is a Pleistocene volcanic island located northeast of Kyushu, Japan. On the western side of this island, it can be also observed free gas upwelling off the coast of Nishiura village. Therefore, we sampled upwelling bubble gas for the first time and report chemical and isotopic compositions of the sample gas. The major chemical component of the bubble gas from the Nishiura submarine gas discharge (Nishiura SGD) is CO2 as in the gas associated with the Hyoshimizu Hot Spring. The He-Ar-N2 relative composition and the 3He/4He-4He/20Ne relation of the Nishiura SGD gas are common with those of the free gas of Hyoshimizu Hot Spring and indicate that the Nishiura SGD gas will be of deep origin. However, the Nishiura SGD gas is rich in CH4 while its concentration in the free gas in Hyoshimizu Hot Spring is negligibly small. The carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of CH4 in the Nishiura SGD gas suggests that it should be of abiogenic origin. Since we found gases released on the eastern and western coasts of Himeshima island are both derived from deep, it is expected that such deep-originated gas seeps out to the atmosphere from ground inland of Himeshima island.
