| Research Abstract |
Investigations on melt region structures beneath spreading axes are a key to understand back-arc spreading system. We developed a compact ocean bottom magnetometer(OBM), which was designed to be attached to US ocean bottom seismograph(OBS); that became first ocean bottom seismograph and magnetometer(OBSM) in the world achieved by an international cooperation. We carried out one year ocean bottom observation near the Eastern Lau spreading axis using the instruments. Marine magnetotelluric analysis using ocean bottom data allows us to image the resistivity structures of the upper mantle beneath the spreading axis, which were compared to identify differences in melt region structures and to understand the cause of the differences.
