| Research Abstract |
We analyzed eruptive products of the 2011 eruption of Shinmoedake, Kirishima volcanic group, Japan, in order to investigate the magmatic processes that triggered the volcanic eruption. The eruption is suitable for such investigation because we have abundant geophysical observations; e.g., seismicity and crustal deformation. We found that the crystals in the products recorded pre-eruptive magmatic processes as chemical zoning within several tens of microns from the crystal rims. We revealed that (1) high-temperature magma mixed into a pre-existing magma several days before the eruption; (2) an overturn of the pre-existing magma chamber was the trigger of the eruption; and (3) the overturn could not been detected both by seismicity and crustal deformation.
