Research Abstract |
In order to understand the dynamic magma system of volcanoes, we attempted to develop new age dating methods then applied them to natural volcanic ejecta. Consequently, we established new U-Th-Ra disequilibrium dating method by using multi collection ICP-MS, and determined the duration of magma supply sequences of Fuji volcano. Additionally, we examined new K-Ar dating combining the spiked and the unspiked sensitivity method to determine eruption ages less than 0.1 Myrs. This method could be successfully applied for lavas from Bratan volcano in Indonesia. The dynamic eruption model regarding supervolcan eruptions driven by melt buoyancy was established.
