The Ito ignimbrite, the product of a big eruption at Aira caldera about 24,500 y B. P., is distributed very extensively around the caldera in south Kyushu. The region within about 70 km from the center of the caldera was the previously known extent of distribution of the ignimbrite. Recent field research revealed, however, Iocal but extensively-scattered distribution of the ignimbrite in many places beyond the previously known extent of distribution northwest to northeast of the caldera. The farthest site of distribution of the ignimbrite is located about 90 km north of the caldera, indicating that the Ito pyroclastic flow originally spread at least 20 km farther than the previously known extent. The ignimbrite in the remote region is characteristically fine-grained compared with the one near the source. Both pumice and lithic fragments in the ignimbrite decrease, as a whole, in size with distance from source. However, the size of lithic fragments increases in the mountainous area beyond 70 km from source. This is because lithic fragments were incorporated into the pyroclastic flow from local land surface probably due to increased turbulence of pyroclastic flow during the passage on the irregular basal relief. The most remote ignimbrite, at a site 90 km from source, attains to about 35 m in thickness and contains abundant lithics of 5-15 cm in diameter, suggesting that the Ito pyroclastic flow spread farther beyond.

Prior to the onset of magmatic activity at the Nakadake first crater, Aso Volcano (SW Japan) from July 2019 to June 2020, multiple small eruptions occurred between April and May 2019. The May 3-5 eruption was one of the largest events during the pre-magmatic activity period. An ash-fall deposit from the early stage of that eruption (15 : 00-18 : 00 in JST on May 3) was distributed to the south of the source crater, whereas the ash erupted after 20 : 00 on May 3 was dispersed southwestwards. The May 3 15 : 00-18 : 00 ash was composed mainly of fine particles (<0.25 mm in diameter) and fell as accretionary lapilli (<0.8 mm). In contrast, ash after 20 : 00 on May 3 consisted mainly of 0.5 mm grains but lacked silt and clay content. Based on an isomass map, the total discharged mass of the May 3-5, 2019 eruption was about 700 tons. Although lithic (50 %) and altered glass (30-40 %) grains were dominant in both ash-fall deposits, they also included small amounts of black to pale-brown fresh glass shards (2-4 %) inferred to be juvenile material originating from newly ascending magma. After the May 3-5 event, small ash emissions occurred intermittently until July 2019. The proportions of fresh glass shards included in the May-July 2019 ash-fall deposits gradually increased; ash erupted in early July contained 7 % fresh glass grains. Small-scale magmatic activity began on July 26, 2019, and continued to mid-June 2020. The April to early July 2019 ash emissions at Nakadake first crater are inferred to be precursor phenomenon of the late July 2019 to mid-June 2020 magmatic eruptions. It is very important to clarify temporal variations in the mass and component characteristics of erupted materials for understanding the sequence of events and predicting future eruptive activity.

Nakadake volcano, the current active center of the Aso central cones (Kyushu), is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan. It has been active since ca. 22-21 cal ka, and has formed the old edifice (22-21 cal ka), the young edifice (around 5 cal ka) and the youngest pyroclastic cone (until present). The lava flows from the young edifice spread on the flank of the volcano several times around 5 cal ka. These lavas are supposed to give stratigraphic markers for constructing the eruptive history of Nakadake volcano, but the similarity in chemical composition and lithology hampers distinguishing and correlating them. We have conducted a paleomagnetic study to distinguish and correlate the lavas since the paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) provides a high-resolution age information. If lava units have a temporal difference of more than 50 years, they could be distinguished by their paleomagnetic directions. The samples were collected from 9 lava flows and 8 agglutinate layers (welded scoria-fall deposits) and were subjected to the paleomagnetic and rock-magnetic measurements. These samples, from visual inspection, appear to be influenced by chemical alteration in the surface of the outcrop by sulfides of volcanic gases. To check a rock-magnetic effect of the chemical alteration of the lavas and agglutinates, thermomagnetic analyses were made on chip samples from the top (surface of rock) and bottom (inside of rock) of the collected paleomagnetic cores. The thermomagnetic analyses indicate that the core top and bottom samples show the same behaviors, in spite of the difference in color, and the carriers of magnetization of each core are titanium rich (titanium content, x, is about 0.6) and poor (x is about 0.1-0.2) titanomagnetites. The natural remanent magnetization of each sample shows a simple, single vector component in alternating field demagnetization experiments, which well defines the primary component. Site mean directions can be categorized into three different direction groups. These data suggest that the eruption producing lava flows and/or agglutinates occurred at three different ages. Furthermore, the paleomagnetic directions of one group is not consistent with the directions of the eruptive ages of Nakadake young edifice assigned from the previous stratigraphic studies. Comparing these directions with the paleomagnetic secular variation curve which has been drawn from basaltic volcanoes in the northwestern part of Aso central cones, the ages of the direction groups can be assigned to around 6.0-4.3 cal ka and 3.5 cal ka, respectively. This result demonstrates that paleomagnetic studies can greatly contribute for establishing the eruptive histories of volcanos.

Meakandake Volcano is a post-caldera active stratovolcano located on the south-eastern rim of Akan Caldera, eastern Hokkaido, Japan. Recent eruptive activity has occurred in 1955-1960, 1988, 1996, 1998, 2006, and 2008 at Ponmachineshiri, which is one of several volcanic bodies that form the stratovolcano. These events indicate that Ponmachineshiri has a high potential for future eruptions. In order to better understand the hazards posed by Meakandake Volcano, this study focused on the modern eruptive activity of Ponmachineshiri during the last 1,000 years. The authors conducted field observations at outcrops in the summit area, excavation surveys on the volcanic flanks, component analysis for pyroclastic deposits, and radiocarbon dating for intercalated soil layers. As a result, at least four layers of pyroclastic fall deposits derived from Ponmachineshiri during the last 1,000 years were recognized, ranging from Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) levels of 1 to 2. In chronological order, the major pyroclastic fall deposits consist of Pon-1 (10th to 12th century; VEI 2), Pon-2 (13th to 14th century; VEI 2), Pon-3 (15th to 17th century; VEI 1), and Pon-4 (after AD 1739; VEI 1), with small-scale (VEI<1) phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruption deposits intercalated within Pon-1, Pon-2, and Pon-3 pyroclastic fall deposits. The presence of scoria and minor pumice in the Pon-1, Pon-2, and Pon-3 pyroclastic fall deposits suggests that these eruptions were phreatomagmatic events. On the other hand, the absence of juvenile materials in the Pon-4 pyroclastic fall deposits suggests that the activity was a phreatic eruption. The decreasing proportion of juvenile materials in eruptive deposits over the last 1,000 years is consistent with a reduced magma contribution and indicates that the development of the hydrothermal system is likely to play an important role in future eruption scenarios for Meakandake Volcano.

A phreatomagmatic explosion is a type of eruption observed on the Earth’s surface. This explosion is common because Earth is a water planet and its surface is extensively covered with water. The mechanism of this explosion can be explained as follows: magma and water mix, following which efficient heat conduction occurs and the water evaporates, finally causing the explosion. However, the mechanism of mixing of the high viscosity magma with water during its ascent remains elusive, although it often causes a phreatomagmatic explosion. In this paper, we review the previously proposed mechanisms of phreatomagmatic explosion and then, based on the petrological and geophysical observations for the 2015 eruption of Kuchinoerabujima Volcano, evaluate whether the recognized mechanisms can explain the mixing of high viscosity magma with water. To explain such an explosion, we consider a new model based on the rheological view of the magma. The laboratory experiments have revealed that the high viscosity magma exhibits shear-induced brittle fracturing, resulting in dilatancy and increased permeability. In addition, the fracturing is a common process observed in high viscosity silicic magmas intruded into shallow parts of the upper crust. Based on these observations, we propose that the shear-induced brittle failure of the high viscosity magma in a volcanic conduit causes the decompression of fluid in the magma and water in the crust diffuses into the magma, resulting in heating and pressurisation of water and additional fracturing (magma fracturing and water diffusion model). The feedback between pressurisation, fracturing, and additional thermal interactions results in an explosion. This hypothesis is attractive because of the efficient mixing of high viscosity magma and water, thus facilitating a spontaneous interaction during magma ascent. To strengthen this hypothesis, additional laboratory experiments and field-based observations will be necessary in future studies.

Zircon fission-track (FT) and uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating were carried out to determine the ages of the Biei, Tokachi, and Sounkyo pyroclastic flow deposits in the Biei and Kamikawa areas of central Hokkaido, northern Japan. We collected pumiceous tuff samples of the Biei pyroclastic flow deposits from two sites in the middle and lower reaches of the Biei River, and Tokachi pyroclastic flow deposits from one site to the west of Tokachi caldera. A sample of welded tuff from the Sounkyo pyroclastic flow deposits was obtained from one site in the lower reaches of the Antaroma River. The FT ages of the Biei pyroclastic flow deposits are 0.81±0.08 Ma and 0.72±0.08 Ma, identical to each other within 1σ error. However, they differ from an age of 1.91±0.06 Ma reported previously from the upper reaches of the Biei River. Based on the present data and previous results on the ages and petrographical characteristics of the deposits, they can be divided at least two geological units with different eruption ages. A FT age of 0.058±0.018 Ma (1σ) was obtained from the Sounkyo pyroclastic flow deposits. On the basis of previous studies concerning the distribution and petrographical characteristics of the deposits, this age was obtained from Hb-type pyroclastic flow deposit among the Hb- and Py-type flows of the Sounkyo pyroclastic flow deposits. The Tokachi pyroclastic flow deposits yielded a U-Pb age of 1.24±0.02 Ma (2σ), which falls within the wide range of ages reported in previous studies. Because the Tokachi pyroclastic flow deposits have a wide distribution and a wide range of ages, they can be divided into several geological units with different eruption ages, as with the Biei pyroclastic flow deposits.

On May 24th 1926, the eruption of Tokachidake volcano, in central Hokkaido, efficiently melted the snow pack on the hill slope, triggering the Taisho lahar which killed 144 people in the towns of Kamifurano and Biei. A geological survey and paleomagnetic and granumetric studies were conducted on the northwestern slope of Tokachidake volcano to reconstruct the sequence of the 1926 eruption and decipher the triggering mechanism for the Taisho lahar. The Taisho lahar deposits in the proximal area of the volcano are divided into five distinct units (unit L1, L2, and A through C, from oldest to youngest). Unit L1 is an older lahar deposit that underlies the 1926 deposits. The 1926 sequence consists of debris avalanche deposits (unit A and C), a laminated sandy debris flow deposit (unit B), and a lahar deposit including scoria clasts (unit L2). Each unit contains hydrothermally altered rocks and clay material with more than 5 wt.% fragments smaller than 2mm in diameter. The progressive thermal demagnetization experiments show that the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of all samples in unit A, B and C have a stable single or multi-component magnetization. The emplacement temperatures are estimated to be normal temperatures to 620℃ for unit A, 300 to 450℃ for unit B, and normal temperature to 500℃ for unit C. On the basis of geological and paleomagnetic data and old documents, a sequence for the eruption and the mechanism of formation and emplacement of the Taisho lahar can be reconstructed. The first eruption at 12: 11 May 24th triggered a small lahar (unit L2). Collapse of central crater at 16:17 May 24th 1926 then resulted in a debris avalanche containing highly altered hydrothermal rocks with hot temperatures ranging from 300 to 620℃ (unit A). The debris avalanche flowed down the slope of the volcano, bulldozing and trapping snow. Immediately following the collapse, a hot (approximately 400℃) hydrothermal surge (unit B) melted snow and transformed into a lahar causing significant damage and deaths in the towns downstream. Just after the generation of the lahar, another collapse occurred at the crater causing another debris avalanche (unit C).

We studied high-frequency earthquake swarm associated with the eruption of the Usu volcano in 2000 using the data observed by a national seismic network in southern Hokkaido. To get a precise hypocenter location, we applied the double-difference method and station correction to hypocenter determination. Systematic shift of epicenters possibly caused by heterogeneous velocity structure of the upper crust is needed to be consistent with the initial motions of the seismograms at the nearest station. Concentration of hypocenters under the northern flank of the volcano in the initial stage suggests that the magma started its activity at about 5 km in depth at the region. Concentric expansion of swarm area occurred before the eruption and formed doughnut pattern of which center is located near the summit of the volcano. Doughnut pattern may represent relaxation of stress under the volcano which is caused by magma movement and pore pressure change under the volcano.

Formation mechanism of basaltic pyroclastic flows has not been sufficiently clarified yet because basaltic pyroclastic flows do not occur as frequently as felsic ones. We studied the Osawa pyroclastic flow 3 deposit (OsPfl-3), which took place on the western flank of the Fuji volcano between 2.9 and 3.0 ka. OsPfl-3 has two flow units and one cooling unit, which have a combined volume of 6.2 × 106m3. The flow overlies another unit composed of two scoria fallout deposits (YokSfa-2a and 2b) which sandwich a pyroclastic flow deposit (OtPfl). OsPfl-3 mainly consists of welded blocks and dense blocks with composition and petrographical characteristics of basaltic andesite. Some of the dense blocks have cracks on their surfaces and look like “cauliflower-shaped bomb”. They have a flat surface on one side with concentration of vesicles near the surface. The matrix of OsPfl-3 has dense fragments that are thought to have originated from dense lava blocks and poorly vesiculated scoria. The emplacement temperature of the blocks is estimated to be higher than 580℃ from thermoremanent magnetization measurements. These observations indicate that the blocks in the OsPfl-3 originated from welded pyroclasts, lava flow or lava lake at the summit crater. The sequence of the eruptions that formed OsPfl-3 and underlying deposits are summarized as follows: Stage 1: Deposition of fallout tephras (YokSfa-2a and 2b) and an intercalated pyroclastic flow (OtPfl) which are composed of fairly vesiculated scoria; Stage 2: Formation of lava flow or lava lake at the summit crater, and deposition of pyroclastics on the lava; Stage 3: Occurrence of the pyroclastic flow (OsPfl-3) caused by collapse of lava and pyroclastics. OsPfl-3 is prominently distributed on the western flank. This observation implies that the westward flow from the source lava that filled the summit crater could cross the lower part of the crater rim.

A model is presented which explains the temporal relation between an eruption and a succeeding earthquake, taking a basaltic stratovolcano, Izu-Oshima volcano, as an example. In the model, volcano is assumed to consist of an underground reservoir and a long pipe connecting the reservoir to the surface. As the compressional crustal strain is gradually stored toward the earthquakes to occur, the volcano, located near the potential fault, is also deformed and contracts to some degree. Then the magma in the reservoir is squeezed up through the pipe. The rise of the magmatic head above a certain level in the pipe causes an eruption, which, once started, may proceed as a self-moving machine. Later, when the earthquake occurs, the strain that squeezed up the magma is released. And the head of the magma falls off resulting in the end of the eruption, in case it has still continued. The bottom of the summit crater of Oshima volcano showed remarkable rise and fall in this century amounting to some 400 meters. The bottom can be regarded as the head of the magma column, since red hot glow was frequently observed during the period. There were two maxima of the height of the bottom, January 1923 and June 1951. Shortly after each of the maxima, occurred great earthquakes with magnitude larger than 8, September 1923 and November 1953 along the Sagami trough which runs some 20km northeast of the volcano toward northwest, branching off from the Japan trench. The area including the volcano has been under compressional tectonic stress with the maximum pressure axis in a horizontal N30°W direction, during at least these hundreds of thousand years. On the other hand, recent fault-model studies of the 1923 earthquake indicate that the fault trace of the earthquake almost coincides with the Sagami trough and that the slip vector of the southwestern block, in which the volcano is located, is toward northwest almost horizontal with slight down going component. This tectonic situation implies that the strain which had been accumulated prior to the occurrence of the great earthquakes along the Sagami trough was caused by the same origin, probably the motion of the Philippine sea plate against the Japanese plate, with what has produced the compressive stress field of the volcanic area. The model appears to be successfully applied for the interpretation of the relation between the eruption of Akita-Komagatake volcano which started on September 17, 1970 and the October 16 earthquake with the magnitude of 6.2 at the epicentral distance of 55km. The frequency of explosion discontinuously dropped down to one half or lower level, three days after the earthquake together with the cessation of Strombolian type of eruption. The preliminary mechanism study of the earthquake showed that there is some component of thrust motion indicating the accumulation of contractional strain prior to the earthquake. The volcano to which the proposed model is applied is thus able to be regarded as a sensitive natural indicator of tectonic crustal strain, and also at the same time as being in a near critical condition ready to erupt.

Examples are presented in which arrangement of lateral and post-caldera cones indicates the probable regional stress field in the late Quaternary. Izu-Oshima, Hakone and Fuji are among the larger stratovolcanoes to the southwest of Tokyo, the former two having collapse calderas on their summit. Parasitic and post-caldera cones and craters of the three volcanoes are following a trend of similar direction, some of them being produced by fissure eruptions on their flank. The zones trend in the direction of about N 35° W at Fuji, N 45° W at Hakone and N 30° W at Oshima. Dikes are also found in these zones running mostly parallel to them. The trend of fissures of fissure eruptions on the flanks of Fuji and Oshima is also similar to the zones of recent activity. Because sites of flank eruption are regarded as points where radially formed dikes around the central magma column have penetrated the flank, the above described distribution of craters in these volcanoes would indicate a concentration of radial dikes in a specific direction at the three adjacent volcanoes. Considering that dikes are fossil tension cracks formed perpendicularly to the axis of the minimum principal compressional stress, the concentration of parasitic craters can be explained by the stress field caused by the pressure increase in the magma column superimposed on the preexisting regional field with the maximum principal stress axis in a NW direction. The nearly identical, preexisting stress field in the three adjacent volcanoes suggests that the field is part of a more regional one including the area of the volcanoes. This suggestion is strongly supported by the presence of active, conjugate strike-slip faults in the same general area, i.e. on the Izu-peninsula. The maximum compressonal axis indicated by the faults is again in a direction of about N 30° W and oriented horizontally. The last movement of the fault system was observed in 1930, at the time of the Kita-Izu earthquake, whose magnitude was 7.0.
