  • Preface: The 6th International Conference on Environmental Resources Management (ICERM) 2024
    Djati Mardiatno; Sayantan Das; Takeshi Hasegawa; Annisa Triyanti; Tsung-Yi Lin; Dian Nuraini Melati; Anabelle Moatty; Kyaw Zaya Htun, Anthropogenic pressure and climate change are the main issues of environmental degradation, posing significant challenges to sustainable landscape [1,2]. These issues are recognized as major global risks with long-lasting consequences [3]. Landscape management is an integrated approach that may be helpful to address these issues by combining policies and practices to address environmental degradation and promote sustainable land use planning [4]. This approach plays an important role in achieving sustainable livelihoods by integrating multiple objectives such as ecological, economic and social [5,6]. Proper landscape management can lead to numerous ecological benefits, including improved land restoration, increased forest cover, enhanced ecosystem services, and maintain the biodiversity [5,6,7]. In the economic and social context, land management can be beneficial for promoting food security, reducing vulnerability to climate change, and improving welfare [5,6,7].

    Department of Environmental Geography, the Faculty of Geography Universitas Gadjah Mada, has a long history of conducting research on environmental management. The concept of sustainable land management aligns with the department’s research framework, which emphasizes the analysis of land, water, social, and economic factors to improve population welfare and reduce risk. To address current issues and discuss efforts related to sustainable land management, the department is organizing the 6th International Conference on Environmental Resources Management (ICERM) to showcase the latest scientific advancements.

  • Cooling timescale and process of welded facies of Youngest Toba Tuff, North Sumatra, Indonesia
    Shohei Shibata; Gabriela Nogo Retnaningtyas Bunga Naen; Yasuaki Kaneda; Indranova Suhendro; Chie Kusu; Takeshi Hasegawa, Last, Abstract

    The 74 ka Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) super-eruption is one of the largest caldera-forming eruptions on Earth. Thick welded facies (~100 m) of the YTT are exposed 30 km northwest of the source caldera. In this outcrop, an entablature of columnar joints, consisting of multiple domains can be well observed. The domain is cracked by a vertical master joint (cooling plane), from which a chilled margin and many columnar joints developed laterally. In this study, the paleomagnetic method was applied to evaluate the cooling history and genetic processes of the YTT welded facies. Oriented samples were collected from both the cooling plane (CP) and the interior part of the domain (ID), and all samples were subjected to a thermal demagnetization experiment. Samples from CP and ID show slightly different directions that can be confirmed by the significance test. Compared to CP, the characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) mean direction of ID shows shallower inclination and northern declination (Dm=357.5°, Im=2.2°, α95=2.5°) that is consistent with previous data of YTT. The mean angular difference of CP and ID is calculated to be 3.2° ± 2.1°. To generate such an angular difference would take 22.8 ± 15.2 years, assuming the fastest changing rate of geomagnetic secular variation (0.14°/year). This suggests that there exists a time lag of tens of years for acquiring thermal magnetization between CP and ID. Temperature profiles of YTT calculated using the conductive cooling model support the result that the interior part of the ignimbrite remained hot at ~ 600 °C for 30 years after deposition. Based on these findings, we conclude that the slight difference in paleomagnetic directions indicates heterogeneity in cooling timescale between quenched (CP) and slowly cooled (ID) portions within thick the welded YTT., IOP Publishing

  • Petrogenetic relationship of pre-caldera and caldera-forming magmas from Maninjau volcano, West Sumatera, Indonesia
    Yasuaki Kaneda; Indranova Suhendro; Shohei Shibata; Gabriela Nogo Retnaningtyas Bunga Naen; Festus Tongwa Aka; Takeshi Hasegawa, Last, Abstract

    The 220–250 km3 (VEI 7) caldera-forming eruption of Maninjau (West Sumatra, Indonesia) in 52 ±3 ka played a major role for changing the landscape in the Padang Volcanic Field. Besides forming thick and widespread ignimbrite plateau (especially in the vicinity of Bukttinggi), the eruption successfully exposed the stratigraphy of pre-caldera rocks which predominantly constructed of lava (hereafter referred to as somma lava). Since our knowledge regarding the relationship between the pre-caldera somma lavas and silicic caldera-forming activity is lacking, we aimed to study the petrological characteristics of these eruptive materials. Somma lavas are mostly classified as medium-K andesite to dacite (SiO2 = 57–64 wt.%) except for one rhyolitic sample (SiO2 = 77 wt.%). Although whole-rock chemistry of somma lavas largely shows coherent compositional trends that a priori suggest mixing with caldera-forming magmas, there are considerable compositional gaps between them on some SiO2 against incompatible-element (e.g., Sr and Zr) diagrams. Rayleigh fractionation models suggest that it is difficult to generate the caldera-forming silicic magma by differentiation of somma lava magma. Considering the incoherences of petrological and chronological features between Maninjau somma lavas and ignimbrites, we suggest that the caldera-forming large silicic magma evolved as an independent system after the termination of pre-caldera magmatism., IOP Publishing

  • Application of a recently developed method of oriented drill coring to accumulative tephra layers: identification of the Matuyama–Brunhes geomagnetic reversal in Akan caldera-forming eruption deposits
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Chie Kusu; Makoto Okada; Aoi Hiratsuka; Kuniaki Nishiki; Yuki Sato; Masaru Koshigai; Takuya Matsuzaki; Yuhji Yamamoto, Lead, Abstract

    We adapted a recently developed technique of oriented drill coring (100 m in depth) for paleomagnetic measurements, including additional techniques such as half-cutting of the drill cores and accurate cube sampling using an apparatus that precisely guides the cube into the half-cut drill core surface. Our techniques were successfully applied to sequential tephra layers (including loess) at Akan Quaternary caldera volcano in eastern Hokkaido, Japan. Directions of remanent magnetization for a total of 129 specimens were measured by Spinner magnetometer with thermal and alternating field demagnetizations. We detected clear Matuyama–Brunhes geomagnetic reversal between the depths of 20.59 m and 21.30 m, where inclinations change from 65.1 to –44.3°. With these techniques, we can in future obtain useful geologic information (e.g., radiometric ages and absolute paleo-intensities) from volcanic rocks around the Matuyama–Brunhes boundary in Akan volcano. This will clarify more detailed processes of the geomagnetic polarity transition. Our study demonstrates the utility of oriented drill cores from successive tephra and loess layers for high resolution investigate of continuous paleo-geomagnetic records. The new techniques can be adopted to other geological fields on Earth, like in studies of marine sediments, providing continuous paleomagnetic direction data from drill core.

  • Paleomagnetism and paleomagnetic dating to large volcanic bombs: an example from the historical eruption of Azuma–Jododaira volcano, NE Japan
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Bunta Kikuchi; Shibata Shohei; Yuhji Yamamoto; Takumi Imura; Masao Ban; Kae Tsunematsu; Chie Kusu; Makoto Okada; Tsukasa Ohba, Lead, Abstract

    Vulcanian activity is one of the most common eruption styles of arc andesitic volcanism on Earth. It ejects and deposits volcanic bombs around the source crater. Although paleomagnetic studies of volcanic bombs are limited, such studies can potentially provide more opportunities for high-resolution paleomagnetic dating of volcanic activity. In this study, paleomagnetic dating was applied to large (> 1 m) volcanic bombs around active craters in the Azuma volcano group, NE Japan. Oriented samples were collected from the interior parts of five large volcanic bombs situated on gentle slopes, a few hundred meters from the source crater. More than six core samples were collected from each bomb and all samples were subjected to a range of rock magnetic experiments, including anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and thermal/alternating field demagnetization (THD/AFD) analyses. The Characteristic Remanent Magnetization (ChRM) directions for specimens from all bombs were well-defined, have small α95 (< 2.5º), and are in close agreement with each other. Comparing our measured overall mean direction (Dm = 355.5º, Im = 49.8º, α95 = 1.6º) with modeled geomagnetic field estimates and a reference secular variation curve for this area (using MATLAB-based archaeomagnetic dating tool), we suggest that the volcanic bombs were produced in the historical Meiji period (1893–1895 CE) eruption. In addition, a combination of the data of ChRM, AMS, thermomagnetic analyses, hysteresis measurement, and XRF analysis indicates that the volcanic bombs were derived from a plug of lava in the conduit under the solidification point (ca. 800 °C), but above the Curie point of the titanomagnetite remanence carrier (around 300 °C). We show that volcanic bombs can be powerful for paleomagnetic dating if certain sampling conditions, such as quantity, situation, size and portion are satisfied.

  • Multi-method constraints on the age and timescale of silicic small-volume eruptions of Puketerata Volcanic Complex, Taupō Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
    Szabolcs Kósik; Takeshi Hasegawa; Martin Danišík; Károly Németh; Makoto Okada; Bjarne Friedrichs; Axel K. Schmitt, Abstract

    Accurate dating of young eruptions from explosive volcanoes is essential for forecasting future eruptions and for defining the hazardscape of volcanic fields. However, precise dating of Quaternary eruptions is often challenging due to limited number of applicable dating methods or lack of datable eruptive phases. Moreover, small volume eruptions (e.g., monogenetic type), despite their significance on regional scale, have traditionally deserved less attention than their large volume counterparts. Puketerata is a maar-lava dome complex in the central Taupō Volcanic Zone (New Zealand), encompassing mafic and silicic phreatomagmatic eruptions with well-preserved pyroclastic deposits sourced from closely spaced vents. Its most recent activity is estimated to ca. 16 ka based on medial and distal stratigraphic surveys. Here, we carried out two independent age determinations and an additional paleomagnetic analysis on the volcanic succession of the Puketerata maar-lava dome complex with an aim to unravel the timing of volcanic activity. Combined U-Th disequilibrium and (U-Th)/He dating of zircon from two lava domes yielded eruption ages of 11.3 ± 2.6 ka and 11.3 ± 1.7 ka, which are concordant with the radiocarbon ages of 11.3–11.7 ka obtained on charcoal from the base of the pyroclastic sequence. Paleomagnetic data on the lavas from the two lava domes suggest at least ~ 100 years difference between their emplacements. Our geochronological results and new stratigraphic observations suggest that the volcanic/magmatic history of the Puketerata is complex with multiple eruptions within a small, confined area, where the most recent eruptions occurred only at ca. 11.5 ka, which is significantly younger than previously thought. This provides an additional datum for volcanic hazards assessment and stratigraphic correlations in New Zealand.

  • Varying stages of ecological succession in lakes subdivided by volcanic eruptions at Akan Caldera, Japan
    Isamu Wakana; Yasuro Kadono; Jotaro Urabe; Yuki Tamura; Yoshifusa Suzuki; Hiroyuki Yamada; Yoichi Oyama; Keiji Wada; Takeshi Hasegawa; Masashi Ohara, Abstract

    Ecological succession within lakes generally proceeds as eutrophication and shallowing occur and the aquatic biota of the lakes is altered. The eutrophication rate depends on the lake size and the area and fertility of the watershed. If the watershed fertility of several different lakes is equivalent and the lakes’ formation time and initial environment are similar, the trophic status of each lake is expected to increase over time depending on the ratio of the watershed area to lake size. To test this supposition, we surveyed the topography and water quality of 10 lakes of varying sizes in Akan Caldera, Japan, which were formed thousands of years ago by fragmentation due to volcanic eruptions within the caldera. The ratio of the accumulated watershed area to lake size was positively correlated with total phosphorus concentration, an indicator of trophic status, and lake types were classified as oligotrophic, mesotrophic, eutrophic, and dystrophic. In addition, 21 species of macrophytes were found in the lakes, and the species composition of each lake was divided into five types corresponding to combinations of the lake types. The discovery of such diversity in a group of lakes with a similar origin paves the way for new comparative studies., Springer Science and Business Media LLC

  • No evidence for tephra in Greenland from the historic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE: implications for geochronology and paleoclimatology
    Gill Plunkett; Michael Sigl; Hans F. Schwaiger; Emma L. Tomlinson; Matthew Toohey; Joseph R. McConnell; Jonathan R. Pilcher; Takeshi Hasegawa; Claus Siebe, Abstract. Volcanic fallout in polar ice sheets provides important opportunities to date and correlate ice-core records as well as to investigate the
    environmental impacts of eruptions. Only the geochemical characterization of volcanic ash (tephra) embedded in the ice strata can confirm the source
    of the eruption, however, and is a requisite if historical eruption ages are to be used as valid chronological checks on annual ice layer
    counting. Here we report the investigation of ash particles in a Greenland ice core that are associated with a volcanic sulfuric acid layer previously
    attributed to the 79 CE eruption of Vesuvius. Major and trace element composition of the particles indicates that the tephra does not derive from
    Vesuvius but most likely originates from an unidentified eruption in the Aleutian arc. Using ash dispersal modeling, we find that only an eruption
    large enough to include stratospheric injection is likely to account for the sizable (24–85 µm) ash particles observed in the Greenland
    ice at this time. Despite its likely explosivity, this event does not appear to have triggered significant climate perturbations, unlike some other
    large extratropical eruptions. In light of a recent re-evaluation of the Greenland ice-core chronologies, our findings further challenge the previous
    assignation of this volcanic event to 79 CE. We highlight the need for the revised Common Era ice-core chronology to be formally accepted by the wider
    ice-core and climate modeling communities in order to ensure robust age linkages to precisely dated historical and paleoclimate proxy records., Copernicus GmbH

  • Geochemical composition of dykes along the Cameroon Line (CL): Petrogenesis and similarities with the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province
    Asobo Nkengmatia Elvis Asaah; Tetsuya Yokoyama; Hikaru Iwamori; Festus Tongwa Aka; Jules Tamen; Takeshi Kuritani; Tomohiro Usui; Takeshi Hasegawa; Eric Martial Fozing, We report whole-rock geochemistry and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic compositions of mafic dykes intruded in the Precambrian granito-gneissic basement complex, exposed at Nyos, Batibo, Dschang and Foumban on the Cameroon Line. The dykes are alkaline (Batibo), transitional (Foumban), and subalkaline (Nyos, Batibo and Dschang) with SiO2 of 45–54 wt% and MgO of 2–9 wt%, similar to dykes reported in other areas of the Cameroon Line (CL) and the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). The abundances of rare earth elements (REE) and the Primitive Mantle normalised patterns for the Nyos, Batibo and Dschang dykes are similar to those of MORB, indicating that the dykes formed at shallower depths by a higher degree of partial melting relative to the Foumban dykes and the alkaline lavas of the CL. The transitional basaltic dykes with steeper REE patterns have their sources at deeper levels in the lithospheric mantle, possibly the garnet-spinel transition zone and were generated by a lower degree partial melting of the lithospheric and plume components. The Nyos and Batibo subalkaline dykes show similar isotopic compositions with a spectrum extending from depleted (DMM-like) to enriched (EM1-like) mantle, indicating the similarity in their source components. The Dschang dykes show distinct isotopic characteristics with relatively unradiogenic Nd-Pb isotope compositions compared to the Batibo and Nyos dykes. The Foumban transitional dykes with characteristic wide ranges in Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions reveal varying contributions from enriched mantle components (EM1 and EM2) in addition to its plume signature similar to those of CL lavas. The Nyos and Batibo dykes alongside other dykes on the CL have low TiO2 abundances (<2 wt%), negative PM-normalised Nb-anomalies, and moderately to strongly enriched REE patterns, and isotopic composition that overlaps with those of CAMP, suggesting a similar lithospheric origin., Elsevier BV

  • High–μ signature in lavas of Mt. Oku: Implications for lithospheric and asthenospheric contributions to the magmatism of the Cameroon Volcanic Line (West Africa)

Ohba, This study presents geochemical data for mafic lavas from Mt. Oku to investigate the mantle source for Mt. Oku lavas and regional variations in isotopic ratios along the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL). The investigated mafic lavas present trace element and isotope signatures akin to ocean island basalts (OIB) and cover the entire range of the CVL. Major and trace element compositions of the studied lavas indicates that they have undergone fractionation of olivine + clinopyroxene + Fe-Ti oxide ± Cr–spinel with insignificant crustal contamination. The lavas were generated by <2% partial melting from a heterogeneous source containing less than 4% garnet. Major and trace elements abundances indicate the presence of hydrous minerals indicative of modal metasomatism. The highest value of radiogenic 206Pb/204Pb (20.7) so far measured along the CVL is reported in this study. The isotopic features of the lavas suggest that the HIMU signatures are dominantly inherited from the asthenosphere (primary source) and melting of enriched components hosted in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM; secondary source). Lavas from Mt. Oku present more comprehensive ranges of Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic composition than those from the continent-ocean-boundary (COB). The isotopic composition of Mt. Oku lavas with 206Pb/204Pb > 19.5 differs from those of the COB but are similar to FOZO. The isotopic composition of Mt. Oku lavas (87Sr/86Sr = 0.7030–0.7036, 143Nd/144Nd = 0.5127–0.5129, 206Pb/204Pb = 17.9–20.7) suggest that the lavas are the result of contributions from the asthenosphere and the SCLM. Using a combination of Sr–Nd–Pb isotope display on a 3D plot and Sm/Yb, we identify four essential components denoted; A, B, C and D involved in the petrogenesis of Mt. Oku lavas and the approximate melting depth. While A and B are from the asthenosphere with HIMU mantle flavour, C and D owe their origin from the SCLM with EM1 and DMM characteristics, respectively. Although depleted in Sr-Nd isotopes, D is radiogenic in 206Pb/204Pb, indicating the influence of metasomatism. Therefore, the petrogenesis of Mt. Oku lavas involves the mixing of at least three mantle end-members: HIMU–DMM–EM1. The “fanning” of samples from”A" towards the other components (B, C and D) indicates a HIMU–like end–member dominance in Mt. Oku magmatism. Considering the geophysical studies on mantle convection and plumes, we have developed a schematic model that explains the petrogenesis of the CVL lavas. The continuous spectrum from relatively depleted to HIMU characteristics of CVL lavas is associated with the progressive change in source components (i) SCLM with ± pockets of enriched metasomes to (ii) SCLM + asthenosphere sources and finally to (iii) typically asthenospheric source material ± pockets of enriched metasomes. Lavas derived from stage (i) exhibit geochemical variability involving DMM–like and EM1–like signatures. The magma generated at Stage (iii) is dominated by the HIMU mantle component and accounts for over 85% of CVL lavas., Elsevier BV

  • Eruption Styles and Processes of the 7.6 ka Caldera-forming Eruption of Mashu Volcano, Eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Reconstruction of a High-resolution Eruption Sequence Based on Geologic, Petrologic and Paleomagnetic Methods and Recognition of Low Aspect Ratio Ignimbrite (LARI)
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Shohei Shibata; Tetuso Kobayashi; Nobutatsu Mochizuki; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa; Hiroshi Kishimoto, Lead, Based on detailed fieldwork, petrological and paleomagnetic investigations, we present a revised stratigraphy of deposits from the 7.6 ka eruption at Mashu volcano and the formation process of its summit caldera, eastern Hokkaido, Japan. As previously described, the eruption products consist of an initial phreatomagmatic unit (Ma-j) and the overlying three pumice-fall layers (Ma-i, -h, and -g), which are in turn overlain by pyroclastic-flow deposits (Ma-f). In the present study, we divide Ma-f into 4 subunits: Ma-f1/2, Ma-fAc, Ma-f3a and Ma-f3b in descending order. Ma-f3b is a valley-ponding, pumice-flow deposit with limited distribution. Ma-f3a comprises clast-supported facies (fines-depleted ignimbrite: FDI) and matrix-supported (normal ignimbrite) facies, the two changing across topography. The FDI is characterized by a gray, fines-depleted, lithic-breccia-rich layer with materials incorporated from the substrate. Impact sag structures from large (>50 cm) dacite ballistic blocks were recognized at the base of the Ma-f3a within 10 km from the source. Ma-fAc is a minor eruption unit consisting of accretionary lapilli. Ma-f1/2 is a most voluminous (8.8 km3), widely distributed and weakly stratified ignimbrite. Both Ma-f3a and Ma-f1/2 can be classified as “low aspect ratio ignimbrite (LARI)”. Dacite lithic fragments are ubiquitously observed throughout the sequence and are not considered to be juvenile; they have distinctly different chemical compositions from the pumice fragments in the early pumice-fall (Ma-g~Ma-i) and pyroclastic-flow (Ma-f3b) deposits, but those of pumice clasts in the late pyroclastic-flow units (Ma-f3a and Ma-f2) lie between the two on a FeO*/MgO vs. SiO2 diagram. The 7.6 ka caldera-forming eruption of the Mashu volcano was initiated by Plinian fall (Ma-j~-g), and then, a small-volume high aspect ratio ignimbrite (Ma-f3b) was deposited by a valley-confined pyroclastic flow that was generated by partial column collapse. After that, a violent pyroclastic flow was generated probably during a strong explosion of a dacite lava edifice on the summit of Mashu volcano. This flow emplaced Ma-f3a. The caldera collapse that followed the explosion generated a climactic pyroclastic flow that emplaced Ma-f1/2. Ma-f3a flow was extremely fast. Ma-f1/2 flow was related to sustained flow due to low settling velocity and high discharge volume. These are supported by field observations and numerical simulation that shows the ability of the flow to surmount high topographic obstacles and spread widely. The 7.6 ka caldera-forming process of Mashu volcano was driven not only by subsidence of roof block but also by violent explosions., The Volcanological Society of Japan

Nche, © 2019 Elsevier Ltd This study presents major elements, trace elements and Sr–Nd–Pb isotope data for fifteen (15) representative volcanic rock samples from volcanic edifices of Lakes Barombi Mbo (n = 9) and Barombi Koto (n = 6), located in the Kumba graben along the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL). The samples are dominantly basalts and trachy-basalts with MgO ranging from 7 to 9 wt.%. The lavas from the edifice of Lake Barombi Mbo are slightly richer in TiO2 (mean 3.3 wt%) and lower in CaO (mean 9.2 wt%) relative to those from the edifice of Lake Barombi Koto (2.9 wt% and 10.3 wt%, respectively). Trace element characteristics of the lavas suggest an enrichment of the source by carbonatitic metasomatism and melting of a heterogeneous source at varying depth in the garnet-spinel transition zone. Trace elements and isotopic composition of the lavas suggest insignificant crustal contamination. Modelling of the degree of partial melting suggest that the magmas were formed at varying depth (60–80 km) and by ~2% partial melting of a source containing less than 4% garnet. Samples from Lake Barombi Mbo formed at a higher degree of partial melting (2%–0.5%) and at a shallower depth relative to those from the volcanic edifice of Lake Barombi Koto (mostly <0.5%) and Mt. Cameroon. Interestingly, the relationship of Zr/Hf and 206Pb/204Pb suggests that the magma was affected by carbonatitic metasomatism whose effect decreased from Mt. Cameroon to Lake Barombi Mbo. Our results suggest that Lakes Barombi Mbo and Barombi Koto lavas are typical of lavas with HIMU-like signature and involved contributions from a dominantly sublithospheric mantle (SLM) and minor contributions from the sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). The SLM material rose and was hosted in the SCLM prior to melting., Elsevier {BV}

  • Eruption history and petrogenesis of rocks from Nyos volcano (NW Cameroon): Evidence from lithostratigraphy and geochemistry

Here we report results of a lithostratigraphic and petrogenetic study of Nyos volcano that allows us to confirm its phreatomagmatic (maar) origin. Eruptive products are divided into 2 units, the phases of each of which are closely related in time. Unit A comprises 4 phases, the last (A-4) represents the cataclysmic phreatomagmatic formation of Nyos maar and may have been triggered by collapse of the vent system of the previous (A-1 to A-3) phases, and/or reactivation of basement faults. After a repose period, activity shifted NE of the maar to form Unit B products. The B-1 phase of this unit deposited the scoria now covering most of the Lake Nyos area. Unit B-2 constructed the Fon's cone. A small lava flow (Unit B-3) represents the latest phase of volcanic activity of Nyos volcano. Based on area-thickness estimation methods, a total of ca 0.8 km(3) of eruptive material was produced from the volcano. Geochemical data suggest that magma of the 2 units probably formed by melting of the same garnet-bearing OIB-like asthenospheric mantle source, and evolved mainly by crustal contamination and fractional crystallization in independent magma batches that erupted without mixing. Our results provide a basis for advice on general hazard mitigation in the Lake Nyos area. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved., ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

  • Upper Triassic mafic dykes of Lake Nyos, Cameroon (West Africa) I: K-Ar age evidence within the context of Cameroon Line magmatism, and the tectonic significance

The Cambrian quartz monzonite cliff excavated by the maar-forming explosion and exposed in its northeastern shore is intruded by mafic dykes, two of which we dated. Even though close to one another, the dykes are different in composition. The alkaline dyke yields a slightly older (Carnian) K-Ar fedspar age of 231.1 ± 4.8 Ma, while the sub alkaline dyke yields an age of 224.8 ± 4.7 Ma (Norian). Based on radioisotopic age data available over the last 48 years (347 data) for the Cameroon Line magmatism comprising eruptives and volcano-plutonic complexes, the Nyos dykes are way older than the Cameroon Line, and even pre-date the Lower Cretaceous initiation of west Gondwana fragmentation in Equatorial Atlantic domain. They would therefore not have been directly linked to the formation of the Cameroon Line. Alternatively, they might be associated with the development of intra-continental rift systems in West Central Africa that pre-dated west Gondwana breakup to form the Atlantic Ocean., Elsevier Ltd

     Toya caldera, eastern Hokkaido, was formed approximately 110 ka, and has two post-caldera volcanoes, Nakajima and Usu volcano. Caldera-forming eruptions ejected a large-scale Toya pyroclastic flow, and related co-ignimbrite ash which covered a wide area in northern Japan. Usu volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan, and has had repeated magmatic eruptions during historical time since AD 1663. The latest major eruption occurred in AD 2000. General geology and representative outcrops of eruptive deposits from Toya caldera and its post-caldera volcanoes are introduced, on the basis of a training field course at the 6th IAVCEI Collapse Caldera Workshop held in September 2016.

  • Methods of Estimating the Durations of Super Large Eruptions Based on Pyroclastic Deposits
    Hasegawa Takeshi; Mochizuki Nobutatsu; Oiwane Hisashi, Lead, The durations of caldera-forming eruptions that produce large volumes (>100 km(3)) of pyroclastic ejecta are poorly understood due to the absence of direct observations. However, clarifying the timescale of these catastrophic hazardous events is essential for understanding associated eruption dynamics and links with the eruptible portions of the underlying magma system. Case studies addressing the time scale of caldera-forming eruptions are reviewed. Three Quaternary large volume caldera-forming eruption deposits from Yellowstone (US), Taupo (New Zealand) and Kutcharo (Japan) volcanoes are inferred from deposits to have lasted for periods of at least for months to years. However, these estimations are generally based on geological evidence, such as re-worked deposits between eruption units, and not quantitative evidence. Proposed here is a new method of timescale estimation based on paleomagnetic secular variation. A sampling procedure was developed for accurate oriented samples of pyroclastic deposits including volcanic ash. This procedure makes it possible to obtain the mean remanent magnetization of a tephra layer with a 95% confidence limit of about 2 degrees, which is comparable to those of well-determined directions for lava. Based on this procedure, the 7.3 ka Kikai caldera-forming eruption was investigated as a trial. Samples for paleomagnetic measurement were collected from the basal ash-rich part of the lowermost plinian pumice fall (Koya pumice fall) at Satsuma Iwo-jima, Kyushu. The difference of 6.9 degrees in the remanent magnetizations between Koya pumice and reported data of the uppermost co-ignimbrite ash-fall(Kikai. Akahoya Ash) suggests the caldera-forming eruption of a considerable duration (>50 years) on the basis of average rate of secular variation. Paleomagnetic directions from pyroclastic deposits could be a powerful tool for estimating timescales of large explosive eruptions., TOKYO GEOGRAPHICAL SOC

  • Re-evaluation of the history of phreatic eruptions from Atosanupuri Volcano, eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Inferred from 14C ages and borehole cores of Japan Meteorological Agency
    長谷川健; 中川光弘; 宮城磯治, Lead,

    Atosanupuri Volcano is one of the active volcanoes, located in the Akan-Shiretoko Volcanic Chain, eastern Hokkaido. Tephro-stratigraphic and tephro-chronologic studies were conducted on two drill cores and new outcrops around the volcano to reveal a recent history of the explosive eruptions. Widespread tephra layers, such as the 10th century B-Tm tephra, and the 2.7 cal. ka BP Ta-c2 tephra were distinguished by the geochemical composition of volcanic glass. In addition, 14C ages of organic samples underlying the eruption deposits were obtained. Using these data, we identified seven phreatic eruption deposits, At-ph1 to At-ph7, overlying the T-c2 tephra; these include the previously described At-a and At-b tephras. At-ph7 yields the oldest 14C calibrated age (2.5-2.7 cal. ka), and the deposition ages of At-ph6 to At-ph1 range from cal. AD 554 to 1678. At-ph4 (At-b) is the thickest phreatic ejecta, with a volume of ~3 × 106 m3. Five phreatic eruptions occurred from Atosanupuri Volcano between 1,500 and 1,000 cal. BP. The youngest eruption, At-ph1 (At-a) occurred at 300 ~ 400 cal. BP, which might be documented in historical records.

  • Superconductivity and Non-Fermi-Liquid Behavior in the Heavy-Fermion Compound CeCo1−xNixIn5
    Ryo Otaka; Makoto Yokoyama; Hiroaki Mashiko; Takeshi Hasegawa; Yusei Shimizu; Yoichi Ikeda; Kenichi Tenya; Shota Nakamura; Daichi Ueta; Hideki Yoshizawa; Toshiro Sakakibara, The effect of off-plane impurity on superconductivity and non-Fermi-liquid
    (NFL) behavior in the layered heavy-fermion compound CeCo$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$In$_5$
    is investigated by specific heat, magnetization, and electrical resistivity
    measurements. These measurements reveal that the superconducting (SC)
    transition temperature T$_c$ monotonically decreases from 2.3 K (x=0) to 0.8 K
    (x=0.20) with increasing x, and then the SC order disappears above x=0.25. At
    the same time, the Ni substitution yields the NFL behavior at zero field for
    x=0.25, characterized by the -ln T divergence in specific heat divided by
    temperature, C$_p$/T, and magnetic susceptibility, M/B. The NFL behavior in
    magnetic fields for x=0.25 is quite similar to that seen at around the SC upper
    critical field in pure CeCoIn$_5$, suggesting that both compounds are governed
    by the same antiferromagnetic quantum criticality. The resemblance of the
    doping effect on the SC order among Ni- , Sn-, and Pt-substituted CeCoIn5
    supports the argument that the doped carriers are primarily responsible for the
    breakdown of the SC order. The present investigation further reveals the
    quantitative differences in the trends of the suppression of superconductivity
    between Ce(Co,Ni)In$_5$ and the other alloys, such as the rates of decrease in
    T$_c$, dT$_c$/dx, and specific heat jump at T$_c$, d($\Delta$C$_p$/T$_c$)/dx.
    We suggest that the occupied positions of the doped ions play an important role
    in the origin of these differences.

  • Evolution of the 120 ka caldera-forming eruption of Kutcharo volcano, eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Geologic and petrologic evidence for multiple vent systems and rapid generation of pyroclastic flow
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Akiko Matsumoto; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa, Lead, We investigated the eruptive sequence and temporal evolution of juvenile materials during the 120 ka Kutcharo pumice flow IV (Kp IV) eruption, which was the most voluminous (175 km(3): bulk volume) caldera-forming eruption of Kutcharo volcano. The eruptive deposits are divided into four units in ascending order. Unit 1 is widely dispersed and consists of silt-sized, cohesive ash. Unit 2 is a thin, moderately sorted pumice fall deposit with a restricted distribution and small volume (<0.2 km(3)). Unit 3, consisting of widely distributed ignimbrite, is the most voluminous. Unit 4 is also composed of pyroclastic flow deposits, but its distribution is limited to the northwest side of the caldera. Juvenile materials consist mainly of rhyolite pumice (74%-78% SiO2) associated with a minor amount of scoria (52%-73% SiO2) that are found only northwest of the caldera in Unit 3 and Unit 4. These scoriae can be classified on the basis of the P2O5 contents of their matrix glass into low-P, medium-P, and high-P types, which are almost entirely restricted to the lower part of Unit 3, Unit 4, and the upper part of Unit 3, respectively. These three types display distinct mixing trends with the rhyolitic compositions in SiO2-P2O5 variation diagrams. This evidence indicates that three distinct mafic magmas were independently and intermittently injected into the main body of silicic magma to erupt from the northwestern part of the magma system. Mafic injections did not occur in the southern part of the magma system. This petrologic evidence implies that the northwestern and southeastern flows of Unit 3 are heterotopic, contemporaneous products derived from multiple vent systems. Although Unit 2 was derived from an eruptive column, its volume is very small compared to Plinian fall deposits of typical caldera-forming eruptions. In our interpretation, the activity of the Kp IV eruption reached its climax rapidly, depositing Unit 3, without first producing a stable Plinian column. The presence of multiple vent systems could have allowed the system to bypass an initial eruptive stage with a stable Plinian column and begin its climactic stage, represented by Unit 3, rapidly. Multiple vents could have been the result of sequential injections of mafic magma in the early stages of the Kp IV eruption. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved., ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

  • Large scale explosive eruptions of Akan volcano, eastern Hokkaido, Japan: A geological and petrological case study for establishing tephro-stratigraphy and -chronology around a caldera cluster
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa, Lead, Akan volcano, in eastern Hokkaido in the southern Kurile arc, occupies a rectangular caldera (24 x 13 km) with a long (1.7-0.2 Ma) and complex history. This paper combines tephrostratigraphy, tephrochronology, and petrological and geochemical evidence to elucidate the eruptive history and evolution of the caldera. Pyroclastic deposits from Akan caldera are divided into at least 40 "eruptive units", separated by paleosols, that constitute 17 "eruptive groups" (Ak1 to Ak17, in descending stratigraphic order) that are petrologically distinct and separated by indicators of longer dormancy periods such as thick (> 30 cm) paleosols and angular unconformities. The estimated volumes of most eruptive groups are less than 10 km(3) dense rock equivalent, and four groups (Ak2, Ak4, Ak7, and Ak13) are larger. Group Ak2, exceeding 50 km3, is the largest. Pyroclastic deposits from Akan caldera are intercalated with pyroclastic deposits from the adjacent Kutcharo caldera and distal air-fall ash layers from central Hokkaido, suggesting that caldera-forming episodes overlapped in central and eastern Hokkaido. Radiometric ages from these exotic deposits range from 1.46 to 0.21 Ma, indicating that caldera-forming eruptions occurred at Akan volcano for more than 1 million years at an average magma discharge rate of approximately 10(-1) km(3)/kyr. Juvenile materials in Akan caldera pyroclastics consist of dominantly aphyric, two-pyroxene dacite to rhyolite. They are characterized by a wide range of K2O compositions (0.8-2.8 wt.%) within a narrow range of SiO2 compositions (67-73 wt.%). Plots of SiO2 vs. K2O suggest that each eruptive group is the product of a distinct, ephemeral magma system rather than a single long-lived magma system. These magma systems appear to have been generated and erupted successively beneath the caldera for more than 1 million years. Each magma system thus appears to represent a relatively short period of activity, and they were separated by relatively long dormancy periods before the next magma system. In particular, a long dormancy of 400 kyr preceded eruptive group Ak2, which consists of the most voluminous and compositionally varied silicic magmas. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.

  • Effective Method for Tephra Correlation on the Basis of Petrological Characteristics: Outcrop Database of Large Scale Pyroclastic Flow Deposits around Akan and Kutcharo Volcanoes, Eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    長谷川健; 中川光弘, Lead, This paper introduces a practical use of outcrop data in determining the correlation, stratigraphy and distribution of large-scale pyroclastic flow deposits (PFL). The studied area is the Akan and Kutcharo volcanic zone in Eastern Hokkaido, Japan, which have had a long and complex history of more than 20 caldera-forming eruptions during the Quaternary. A database of the stratigraphy and glass chemistry for the more than 20 PFL can be established by studying a sufficient number of representative outcrops. We found representative outcrops where stratigraphic relationships between several PFL can be observed at the same time. We analyzed glass chemistry of juvenile pumices (>10 clasts) of the PFL. The database enables to identify all exposed PFL in this area, thus allowing us to draw detailed maps of the distribution for each PFL. The database can be also used for correlation and chrono-stratigraphic determination of reworked volcanic deposits, such as terrigenous marine deposits in Kushiro region, located on the plains at the foot of Akan and Kutcharo volcanoes., Volcanological Society of Japan

  • Sequence of the 120 ka Adatara-Dake Eruption from Adatara Volcano, Fukushima, Japan: Based on Correlations between the Outcrops of Pyroclastic Fall Deposits at the Summit and Flow Deposits on the Flank and Foot of the Volcano
    藤原健一郎; 長谷川健; 藤縄明彦, Corresponding, We performed systematic sampling and description of the Adatara-Dake tephra outcrop on the summit of Adatara volcano, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan in order to reveal the detailed eruption sequence and temporal evolution of the magma system of this volcano that erupted 120ka BP. Even though there is no recognizable eruption hiatus represented by a paleosoil layer, pyroclastic fall characteristics at the outcrop permit to divide Adatara-Dake tephra into 19 layers: A to R; from bottom to top. The earlier layers (A to L) are characterized by successive pumice fall deposits, intercalated by thin volcanic sand layers. The later layers (M to R) are rich in scoria fall and are partly welded, with agglutinate found in layers O and R. Representative clasts from each layer were analyzed to determine the grain size distribution, componentry, modal composition and whole rock chemistry. Layer M can be correlated petrologically and petrographically with the lower part of Yugawa pyroclastic flow deposit on the eastern foot and the Motoyama pyroclastic flow deposit on the western flank of the volcano. Similarly, the upper part of Yugawa pyroclastic flow correlate with layer N, meanwhile the upper part of Motoyama pyroclastic flow correlate with layers O or R. There is an increase in the lithic fraction with decreasing sorting in layer M, which we interpret to indicate increasing enlargement of vent during the phase of this layer. The scoria/pumice volume ratio also increases remarkably in layer M, suggesting that vent enlargement and sudden increase of mafic magma during phase M caused the column collapse that generated the Yugawa and Motoyama pyroclastic flows. The mafic magma composition changed after layer O, with the FeO*/MgO ratios becoming less than 2.1. After this change in chemistry in phases O to R, pyroclastic flows were continuously generated and agglutinated deposits were formed at the summit. This suggests that the eruption style of the final phase abruptly changed to relatively low column height., Volcanological Society of Japan

  • Possible Evolution of Antiferromagnetism in Zn-Doped Heavy-Fermion Superconductor CeCoIn5
    Makoto Yokoyama; Kenji Fujimura; Sara Ishikawa; Masashi Kimura; Takeshi Hasegawa; Ikuto Kawasaki; Kenichi Tenya; Yohei Kono; Toshiro Sakakibara, We have succeeded in growing single crystals of the heavy-fermion
    superconductor CeCo(In1-xZnx)5 with x<=0.07. Measurements of specific heat,
    electrical resistivity, dc magnetization and ac susceptibility revealed that
    the superconducting (SC) transition temperature Tc decreases from 2.25 K (x=0)
    to 1.8 K (x=0.05) by doping Zn into CeCoIn5. Furthermore, these measurements
    indicate a development of a new ordered phase below T_o ~ 2.2 K for x=>0.05,
    characterized by the reduced magnetization and electrical resistivity in the
    ordered phase, and the enhancement of specific heat at T_o. This phase
    transition can be also recognized by the shoulder-like anomaly seen at H_o ~ 55
    kOe in the field variations of the magnetization at low temperatures, which is
    clearly distinguished from the superconducting critical fields Hc2=49 kOe for

  • Recognition and its significance of Tarumai-d tephra in Kushiro region, eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    長谷川健; 花岡正光; 古川竜太; 重野聖之; 七山太; 中川光弘; 安藤寿男, Lead, The Ta-d tephra (8.7–9.2 cal. ka) from Tarumai Volcano in south-western Hokkaido has been newly recognized at two archeological sites and in cores taken from a bay in the Kushiro–Nemuro area, eastern Hokkaido, Japan. Identification of the tephra is based on chronological data, stratigraphic relationships (it is overlain by the 2.5 cal. kyr old Ta-c2 tephra), lithofacies, and petrological correlation (modal mineralogy and glass chemistry) with proximal Ta-d tephra deposits. In particular, the relatively high TiO2 and low K2O contents of the tephra are distinctive. The Ta-d tephra comprises lower pumiceous and upper scoriaceous parts, and is well preserved in the distal Kushiro region as a 5-cm-thick tephra layer. The Ta-d tephra may be a useful chronostratigraphic marker for the early Holocene in eastern Hokkaido and bordering regions of the Pacific Ocean., The Geological Society of Japan

  • Development history and magma plumbing systems of Takakura Volcano, Sengan geothermal field, Tohoku, Japan
    中谷咲子; 長谷川健; 藤縄明彦; 照井肇子, Corresponding, Takakura Volcano is located at the southern end of the Senzan geothermal field of the northeastern Japan arc, in the central part of the volcanic chain comprising Kotakakura, Takakura, and Marumori volcanoes. We have carried out a detailed geological and petrological investigation of Takakura Volcano in order to reveal its volcanic history and evolution of the magmatic plumbing system beneath the volcano. In addition, a K–Ar dating study of rock samples from the volcano was carried out. Takakura Volcano comprises two lava series: an older series (Takinosawa lava series) of the lower and eastern part of the volcano, and a younger series (Takakurasan lava series) from the present-day summit down to the southeastern and southern foot of the volcano. On the basis of field and petrological data, the Takinosawa and Takakurasan lava series can be divided into 13 (TS1–13; oldest to youngest) and 17 (TK1–17) units, respectively. One of the oldest samples of the TS1 has a K–Ar age of 0.44 ± 0.14 Ma.
    Rocks of Takakura Volcano typically belong to the low-K tholeiitic series, and predominantly comprise basaltic andesite, andesite, and rare dacite. The tholeiitic lavas can be further divided into two groups on the basis of incompatible element concentrations such as Zr and Nb (i.e., high- and low-Zr groups). Although the two groups have been erupted continuously throughout the volcano's history, the high- and low-Zr groups have distinct compositional variation trends on geochemical diagrams. Furthermore, a different modal phenocryst assemblage is evident in each group. These observations suggest that the two groups were derived from independent magma plumbing systems, which have persisted throughout the lifetime of Takakura Volcano., The Geological Society of Japan

  • Reconstructed Holocene sea level curve from the Akkeshi barrier system in eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    Shigeno Kiyoyuki; Nanayama Futoshi; Sudo Yusuke; Sagayama Tsumoru; Hasegawa Takeshi; Ando Hisao, An active barrier system is present in Akkeshi Bay and a lagoonal area along the Pacific coast of eastern Hokkaido, Japan. This rare feature consists of a so-called lagoon (the Akkeshi-ko lagoon), a flood tidal delta, a barrier, and a tidal inlet that leads into the outer sea of Akkeshi Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Large oyster reefs were living on the flood tidal delta until their sudden extinction in the early 1980s. The processes involved in the formation of this barrier system during a postglacial transgression period are not well understood. Here, we use sedimentological, paleontological, and radiocarbon dating methods to analyze Holocene drillcore obtained from the Akkeshi fishing port in 2009 and borehole log data previously obtained from public works around the Akkeshi lowlands. The data obtained from both drillcore and borehole logs indicates that: (1) postglacial transgression occurred in this area some 11,400 years ago and reached 50 m below the present sea water level, with the barrier system in the study area established 8800 years ago. (2) The preservation of this barrier system is due to the stable sea level in this area. The sea level has been constant for the past 5500 years, and has led to the development of oyster reefs on the tidal flood delta. (3) The current topographically distinctive barrier system has been affected by sudden uplifts associated with giant earthquakes. These events occur every few hundred years, with the barrier undergoing prolonged but relatively rapid post-earthquake subsidence at about 1 cm/year, as observed after a giant 17th century earthquake., The Geological Society of Japan

  • The eruption history and silicic magma systems of caldera-forming eruptions in eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa; Hiroshi Kishimoto, Lead, The eruptive history and magma systems of large-scale explosive eruptions (VEI>5) in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, are reviewed on the basis of recently reported high-resolution tephrostratigraphy. More than 70 large-scale explosive eruptions have been recorded from the Akan, Kutcharo, Atosanupuri, and Mashu caldera volcanoes in the past 1.7 Ma. The total tephra volume of these eruptions is estimated to be approximately 1000 km(3). The discharge rate increases remarkably from 0.2 km(3)/kyr to 2.0 km(3)/kyr at approximately 0.2 Ma. The discharge rate is still high owing to the recent frequent activity of the Mashu caldera. The silicic magma systems of the Akan, Kutcharo, and Mashu calderas formed independently. On the other hand, the magma olAtosanupuri is associated with that of Kutcharo caldera., JAPAN ASSOC MINERALOGICAL SCIENCES

  • Tephrostratigraphy and petrological study of Chikurachki and Fuss volcanoes, western Paramushir Island, northern Kurile Islands: Evaluation of Holocene eruptive activity and temporal change of magma system
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa; Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto; Yoshihiro Ishizuka; Wataru Hirose; Sho-ichi Seki; Vera Ponomareva; Rybin Alexander, A tephrostratigraphic and petrological study of the Chikurachki (1816 m)-Tatarinov-Lomonosov volcanic chain (CTL volcanic chain) and Fuss (1772 m), located at the southern part of Paramushir Island in the northern Kurile Islands, was carried out to reveal the explosive eruption history during the Holocene and the temporal change of the magma systems of these active volcanoes. Tephra successions were described at 54 sites, and more than 20 major eruptive units were identified, consisting of pumice fall, scoria fall and ash fall deposits, each of which are separated by paleosol or peat layers. The source volcano of each recognized tephra layer was confirmed by correlation with proximal deposits of each eruption center with respect to petrography and whole-rock and glass chemistry. The age of each layer was determined by radiocarbon dating and the stratigraphic relationship with the dated, widespread tephra from Kamchatka according to the thickness of paleosols bracketed between tephra layers. The Holocene activity in this region was initiated by eruptions from the Tatarinov and Lomonosov volcanoes. After the eruptions, the Fuss and Chikurachki volcanoes started their explosive activities at ca. 7.5 ka BP, soon after the deposition of widespread tephra from the Kurile Lake caldera in southern Kamchatka. Compared with Fuss located on the back-arc side, Chikurachki has frequent, repeated explosive and voluminous eruptions. Whole-rock compositions of the rocks of the CTL volcanic chain and Fuss are classified into medium-K and high-K groups, respectively. These suggest that magma systems beneath the CTL volcanic chain and Fuss differ from each other and have been independently constructed. The rocks of the Chikurachki volcano are basalt-basaltic andesite and have gradually evolved their chemical compositions; when graphed on a SiO(2)-oxide diagram, these form smooth trends from mafic to more felsic. This suggests that the magma system evolved mainly by fractional crystallization. In contrast, matrix glass chemistries for Fuss pumices are distinct for each eruption and show different K(2)O levels on a SiO(2)-K(2)O diagram. This implies that the magma system of Fuss has been frequently replaced. Both volcanoes have been active under the same subduction system. However, the Chikurachki volcano will continue eruptive activity under a stable magma system with a higher magma discharge rate, whereas Fuss may continue construction with an intermittent supply of distinct, small magma batches.

  • Depositional ages of Quaternary sequences in the Kushiro region, eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Correlations and chronology on the basis of high-resolution tephro-stratigraphy
    長谷川健; 中川光弘; 伊藤順一; 山元孝広, Lead, We investigated the correlation between pyroclastic materials in terrigenous marine deposits of the Kushiro region and pyroclastic deposits in the Akan volcanic area, eastern Hokkaido, with respect to Quaternary stratigraphy, glass chemistry, contents and assemblages of phenocrysts, and age determinations using tephro-chronology. A high-resolution Pleistocene tephro-stratigraphy of the Akan volcano was previously established for the Ak1–Ak17 sequence (youngest–oldest). The Akan eruptive deposits are intercalated with time-marker tephras derived from the adjacent Kutcharo volcano (KpI–KpVIII, youngest to oldest), central Hokkaido, and from unknown sources. In this study, pyroclastic materials in marine deposits in the Quaternary Otanoshike Formation, Kushiro region, were sampled at four type localities.
    The Otanoshike Formation, covered by two pyroclastic flow deposits, contains two volcanic ashes, one in the lower part and one in the upper part of the formation. The lower and upper ashes correlate with the LowK-1 (source unknown) and Ak5 tephras, respectively. The overlying lower and upper pyroclastic flow deposits correlate with the KpVI and KpIV, respectively. The ages of the LowK-1 and KpIV tephras were estimated at ca. 0.8 and 0.1 Ma, respectively. These ages indicate that deposition of the Otanoshike Formation started by at least 0.8 Ma and finished before 0.1 Ma.
    The Kushiro Formation, composed of the lower Takkobu and the upper Toro members, contains many reworked tephras, all originating from the Ak13–Ak17 tephras, implying that the Kushiro Formation formed before the Ak12 eruption. The Ak14 and Ak10 eruption ages are estimated at ca. 1.5 and 1.0 Ma, respectively, suggesting that deposition of the Kushiro Formation spanned the 1.5–1.0 Ma time period., The Geological Society of Japan

  • 14Cages for the ejecta from Kutcharo and Mashu calderas, eastern Hokkaido, Japan.
    山元孝広; 伊藤順一; 中川光弘; 長谷川健; 岸本博志, Eruption ages of the ejecta from Kutcharo and Mashu calderas were systematically determined by 14C dating. 16 charred samples were newly obtained from the Mashu and Nakashumbetsu Tephra Formations around the calderas and dated by AMS and β-counting methods. Examined units are Ma-d, Ma-e, Ma-f, Ma-j, Ma-k, Ma-l and Ml-a in the Mashu ejecta and 6 Nakashumbetsu tephra layers including Kutcharo Pumice Flow Deposit I (KpI), which is the youngest caldera-forming product from Kutcharo caldera. Results of the 14C dating range from 3,660 ±40 yBP to 36,080±1,300 yBP, and are consistent with the tephrostratigraphy. Calendar age for KpI was newly calculated at almost 40 ka and this age shows there was about 70,000 years recurrence interval between KpI and KpIV caldera-forming eruptions. Mashu caldera has appeared on the eastern part of Kutcharo caldera immediately after the KpI eruption, and calendar age for its main caldera-forming eruption were determined at ca.

  • Eruptive history of post-caldera volcanoes of Kutcharo caldera, eastern Hokkaido, Japan, as inferred from tephrostratigraphy in the Konsen and Shari areas for the period 35-12ka.
    長谷川健; 岸本博志; 中川光弘; 伊藤順一; 山元孝広, Lead, The eruptive history of post-caldera volcanoes of Kutcharo caldera (Atosanupuri, Nakajima, and Mashu), eastern Hokkaido, Japan, was re-examined based on tephrostratigraphy above the layer KpI (35 ka), which is the youngest caldera-forming ignimbrite produced from the caldera. The studied areas are located to the east (Konsen) and north (Shari) of Kutcharo caldera. Between KpI and Ma-l (12 ka; the first eruption of the caldera-forming stage of Mashu volcano), at least 24 explosive eruptions Ml-a to (M1-d, Ch-a to Ch-d, and Nu-a to Nu-r, in descending order) are recognized in the Konsen area, and 10 (KoP, NaP, WTfl-2, KgSc, WTfl-1, KuSc, TyP, HkP, Ds-Oh, and YmP) are recognized in the Shari area. In addition, more than 20 thin scoria layers were found. Eight tephra layers in the Shari area can be correlated with those in the Konsen area, based on stratigraphy and petrology (e.g., glass chemistry and the mineralogy of juvenile materials) . The main phenocryst phases in these tephras are plagioclase, two pyroxenes, and Fe-Ti oxides, although some layers contain olivine and Nu-q includes hornblende. These tephras are divided into the following three groups based on the K2O content of glass: Low-K (K2O=0.4-0.9 wt.%), Medium-K (1.6-2.5 wt.%), and High-K (4.2-4.9 wt.%) . Nu-q, characterized by the presence of hornblende and a High-K composition, was possibly produced by the Daisetsu Ohachidaira caldera of central Hokkaido. The Medium-K group consists of 10 porphyritic (>11% phenocrysts), white-colored tephra layers. All other tephras, including the thin scoria layers, are assigned to the Low-K group. Based on geological and petrological data, and correlations with proximal deposits and edifices of each post-caldera volcano, we infer that the source volcanoes of the Medium-K and Low-K groups were the Atosanupuri/ Nakajima volcanoes and Mashu volcano, respectively. These results indicate that 10 explosive eruptions occurred at the Atosanupuri/Nakajima volcanoes over the period from 25 to 13 ka, with a total tephra volume of 16 km3. Mashu volcano produced more than 50 plinian eruptions (total tephra volume >90 km3) over the period from 35 to 1 ka, with no dormant periods exceeding several thousand years in duration., The Geological Society of Japan

  • Gravity structure of Akan composite caldera, eastern Hokkaido, Japan: Application of lake water corrections
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Akihiko Yamamoto; Hiroyuki Kamiyama; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa, Lead, Akan volcano, eastern Hokkaido, Japan, is characterized by a rectangular-shaped caldera (Akan caldera: 24 kin by 13 km) with a complex history of caldera-forming eruptions during the Quaternary. A new Bouguer anomaly map of the caldera is presented on the basis of a gravity survey around Akan volcano. As part of and in addition to this survey, we applied gravimetry over the frozen caldera lake including lake water corrections. The Bouguer map shows the distribution of at least three sub-circular minima indicative of multiple depressions inside the caldera. Lake water corrections, performed by a numerical integration method using rectangular prisms, sharpen edges of the sub-circular minima. This gravity feature is consistent with geological investigations suggesting that caldera-forming eruptions of Akan volcano occurred from at least three different sources. It is concluded that Akan caldera can be described as a composite caldera with three major depressed segments., TERRA SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO

  • Tephrostratigraphy and Eruption Style of Mashu Volcano, During the Last 14,000 years, Eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    KISHIMOTO Hiroshi; HASEGAWA Takeshi; NAKAGAWA Mitsuhiro; WADA Keiji, Corresponding, The eruptive history of Mashu volcano, located at the southeastern rim of Kutcharo caldera in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, has been divided into three stages: stratovolcano building, caldera-forming and central cone building. Tephrostratigraphy and eruption styles of the latter two stages were reinvestigated in conjunction with petrological analysis. We found new evidence of several eruptions from the volcano. These data, combined with recent 14C ages and the presence of wide-spread tephras, allow us to evaluate the temporal evolution of eruptive activity and styles of Mashu volcano during the last 14,000 years. After the formation of the stratovolcano, activity of the caldera forming stage started with plinian eruption (Ma-l) about 14cal ka. Approximately 7.5cal ka, climactic caldera-forming activity began with a phreatomagmatic eruption (Ma-j) followed by plinian falls (Ma-i~g), and a catastrophic pyroclastic flow (Ma-f) occurred resulting to the formation of the summit caldera, 7.5×5.5km in diameter. Total volume of the climactic eruption deposit is estimated to be 18.6km3. Temporal variation of pumice/lithic fragment and white (silicic)/gray (mafic) pumice ratio with eruption sequence suggest withdrawal of a zoned magma chamber with more silicic magma overlying more mafic one through the newly opened and enlarging vent. In the central cone building stage, at least eight eruptions (Ma-e, Ma-e´, Ma-d, Ma-c4~-c1 and Ma-b, in ascending order) have occurred repeatedly during the last 6,000 years. The latest eruption (Ma-b: ca. 0.9cal ka) was the largest one in this stage. Although most of the tephra layers in this stage are composed of pyroclastic fall deposits, thin pyroclastic flow deposits can also be recognized from the two eruptions (Ma-e and-d). Juvenile materials in the Mashu tephras are commonly pyroxene dacite (SiO2=64-72wt.%, K2O=0.5-0.7wt.% in whole-rock compositions). The pumice of the caldera-forming stage are nearly aphyric (1~6wt.%), whereas those of the central cone building stage are more porphyritic (13~24wt%). They can be also distinguished in SiO2-oxides diagrams. Most of Mashu tephras consist of gray fine ash layers including blocky lithic/pumice fragments and accretionary lapilli, indicative of magma-water interactions. In the case of large eruptions, such as the climactic caldera-forming eruption (Ma-j~f) and Ma-b, eruptive styles changed from the wet to dry due to increase of the magma/water ratio. The long-term magma discharge rate was 0.8 and 0.3km3 DRE/ky during the last 14,000 and 6,000 years, respectively. Mashu volcano can be interpreted as one of the most productive and active volcanoes in Japan during Holocene., The Volcanological Society of Japan

  • Correlations of distal ash layers in the Akan pyroclastic deposits, eastern Hokkaido, with large-scale pyroclastic flow deposits distributed in central Hokkaido, Japan
    HASEGAWA Takeshi; ISHII Eiichi; NAKAGAWA Mitsuhiro, Lead, Six distal rhyolitic ash layers (HR-1∼HR-6 in descending order) are interbedded in the pile of large-scale pyroclastic flow and pumice fall deposits derived from Akan volcano, eastern Hokkaido, during Pleistocene. These layers characteristically contain hydrous minerals such as hornblende and biotite, which are not common in the rocks of Quaternary volcanoes in eastern Hokkaido. Based on mineral assemblage, glass chemistry, and stratigraphy, these can be correlated with the early to middle Pleistocene large-scale pyroclastic flow deposits (pfld) distributed in central Hokkaido. The HR-5 and -6 layers have been already correlated with the Tokachi pfld (1.3∼1.46 Ma) in the central Hokkaido. In addition, we have newly correlated these ash layers to pfld in the central Hokkaido, as follows: HR-4 to the Tokachimitsumata pfld (1 Ma), HR-2 to the Kamishikaribetsu pfld and, HR-1 to the Kamiasahigaoka pfld, respectively. K-Ar ages for plagioclase in pumice of Kamiasahigaoka pfld is determined to be 0.51±0.14 Ma. These dates suggest that the large-scale felsic explosive volcanism had continued in both of central and eastern Hokkaido for at least eight hundred thousand years long during the early to middle Pleistocene. Especially, there is no evidence for dormancy, such as paleosol and erosional gap, between Ak14 and intercalating HR-5, indicating that large explosive eruptions simultaneously occurred in central and eastern Hokkaido. HR-1∼HR-6 could be Quaternary good time markers not only in eastern Hokkaido but also in Pacific Ocean and Kurile Islands because these tephras are more than 50 cm in thickness around Akan volcano., The Geological Society of Japan

  • Inception of anticline growth near the Omagari Fault, northern Hokkaido, Japan
    ISHII Eiichi; YASUE Ken-ichi; OHIRA Hiroto; FURUSAWA Akira; HASEGAWA Takeshi; NAKAGAWA Mitsuhiro, To know the beginning age of the anticline growth near the Omagari Fault in Neogene siliceous rocks, northern Hokkaido, Japan, this study is focused on determining differences in sedimentation rate as the anticline grew during sedimentation, at the sites of two boreholes, which are proximal (HDB-11) and distal (HDB-10), respectively, with respect to the anticlinal axis. We have investigated i) the petrographic and chronologic characteristics of tuff layers within mudstones in terms of several parameters: modal compositions, glass refractive indexes, glass chemical compositions and fission track ages; ii) the depth distribution of the opal-A/opal-CT diagenetic boundary between diatomaceous mudstone and siliceous mudstone; and iii) the effective porosity of the mudstones. Two tuff layers as key beds, HT1 and HT2, were found at HDB-10 and HDB-11, and yielded fission track ages of 2.9 Ma and 2.2 Ma, respectively. The sedimentation rates at HDB-10 and HDB-11 between HT1 and HT2 were estimated to match with the inferred basin trend or to have been nearly equal, based on their fission track ages, the thicknesses and the effective porosity of the mudstones. The depth distribution of the opal-A/opal-CT boundary and the effective porosity indicated that the maximum burial depth of HT2 was significantly shallower at HDB-11 than at HDB-10. Previous studies have found that maximum burial occurred at/before 1.0 Ma, suggesting that the sedimentation rate at HDB-11 was slower than at HDB-10 for the 2.2∼1.0 Ma period overall. We therefore infer that the anticline began to grow between 2.2 and 1.0 Ma. The inception of the anticline growth might be caused by the beginning of the active tectonism in and around this area., The Geological Society of Japan

  • Stratigraphy of Early to Middle Pleistocene pyroclastic deposits around Akan caldera, eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    HASEGAWA Takeshi; NAKAGAWA Mitsuhiro, Lead, Stratigraphy of pyroclastic deposits around Akan and Kutcharo calderas in eastern Hokkaido was investigated in order to reconstruct the eruptive history of the Akan volcano, and to clarify the stratigraphic relationships among pyroclastic deposits of Akan and other volcanoes. In addition to the geological data, source volcano of each deposit was identified using petrological features of juvenile materials, such as their phenocryst assemblages, whole-rock and glass chemistry. On the basis of the presence of significant time intervals, indicated by paleosol and erosional gap, we recognized at least 40 eruptive units of pyroclastic deposits (Akan pyroclastic deposits). Many of them are successions of pyroclastic fall deposits followed by pyroclastic flow deposits. Based on petrological features of juvenile materials of each unit, we grouped these units into 17 eruptive groups (Ak1 to Ak17 in descending order). Each group is composed of a single or sequential series of eruptive units. Whole-rock chemistry of juvenile materials is different from one group to another. This suggests that activities of each eruptive group were derived from distinct magma system.
    We found several exotic pyroclastic flow deposits and distal air-fall ash layers within the Akan pyroclastic deposits. Pyroclastic flow deposits from adjacent Kutcharo caldera are interbedded between Ak2 and Ak3. One of them was dated to be 0.34 Ma. Distal rhyolitic ash layers from central Hokkaido (1.3−1.46 Ma) are recognized within Ak14. These dates suggest that the large-scale explosive volcanism at Akan volcano started in the Early Pleistocene and repeated many times for more than one million years. During the activity, the magma system was repeatedly renewed to produce eruptive group characteristics. This complex and long-term eruptive history of Akan volcano is probably reflected in the rectangle shape of Akan caldera. The shape of the possible composite caldera is different from the circular shapes of many other calderas.

  • Gravity structure of the Akan Caldera and its vicinity, Eastern Hokkaido, Japan
    Takeshi Hasegawa; Akihiko Yamamoto; Hiroyuki Kamiyama; Mitsuhiro Nakagawa, Lead, We performed gravity surveys and compiled pre-existing gravity data to obtain gravity anomalies of the Akan Caldera, eastern Hokkaido, and a new gravity map around the caldera was produced. In particular, we conducted gravity surveys on the frozen lake surface in winter to reveal a fine gravity structure. A new Bouguer anomaly map shows that the Akan Caldera is characterized by three closed mimima and takes its minimum value (∼70 mgal) in the central area of the caldera. It is consistent with our geologic studies suggesting that the Akan Caldera is multiple caldera. Characteristic low anomalies in the Akan Caldera gradually increase towards topographic rim outside and reach their maximum around the rims. Post-caldera volcanoes are distributed not along topographic caldera rim but along a periphery of the low-anomaly region, which is situated inside the topographic rim.

  • Gravity and density variations of the tilted Tottabetsu plutonic complex, Hokkaido, northern Japan: implications for subsurface intrusive structure and pluton development
    H Kamiyama; A Yamamoto; T Hasegawa; T Kajiwara; T Mogi, An exposed cross section of the tilted Tottabetsu plutonic complex allows direct evaluation of its original 2-D cross-sectional shape and pretilting vertical density variations in both the pluton and the country rocks, which serves as a strong constraint in gravity modeling that complements information on the 'missing' pretilting horizontal dimension of this tilted pluton. The pluton is stratified with the uppermost thin granitic unit (similar to 1-km thick) and the underlying thick gabbro-diorite units (similar to 9-km thick) that preserve a stratigraphic record of numerous hotter replenishments in the form of alternation of originally horizontal mafic sheets and cumulate layers. Both the pluton and the country rocks show systematic density increase with pretilting crustal depth, but density contrast of the pluton with the country rocks varies between each unit. The 2-D cross-sectional shape and gravity analysis revealed that the pluton had a vertically-elongated shape with vertical side walls before tilting. The vertical side walls, together with the stack of the originally horizontal sheets and cumulate layers, suggests that the pluton grew only vertically by piston mechanism. The very thick, exposed cross section provides unequivocal evidence for development of such a pluton with this unusual shape and mass distribution, which has been inferred elsewhere only by some geophysical studies., TERRA SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO
