Outline of Final Research Achievements

Magmatic sulfur is released to the surface as a volcanic gas and it has a large impact on atmospheric chemistry and climate. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the partition of sulfur among gas, melt, and crystal. In this study, we investigated the partition of sulfur by performing decompression experiments. The decompression experiments were conducted at decompression rates of 1 to 900 MP/h that simulate a part of magma ascent during explosive to effusive eruptions. The experiments demonstrated that rapid decompression causes the oxidation of magma, resulting in sulfide breakdown. The partition between melt and crystal shows the dependence of decompression rate and hence we conclude that the composition of volcanic gas is controlled by the decompression rate.
