Outline of Research at the Start

本研究は,豪雨による溶岩ドーム崩壊の可能性の有無を示すことを目的とする.噴火以降の長期データが蓄積された雲仙普賢岳において,現地調査でデータの不足を埋め,最新の画像処理・データ融合技術を用いて,過去に遡る形でドームの3次元形状と雨量についての高精度の時系列データセットを再構築する.データセットから溶岩ドーム全体の変位量とその時間変化を明らかにし,11層のローブで形成される溶岩ドームの地下構造に基づいてすべり面を推定したうえで,雨水の浸透が溶岩ドームの変形に及ぼす影響を評価する.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

At Mount Unzen's Fugen-dake, concerns persist regarding the collapse of the lava dome, and monitoring efforts have continued even after the eruption ceased. Based on the assumption that gravitational deformation is the primary cause of such collapses, displacement measurements have been conducted from three observation stations located at the foot of the volcano. However, in this study, differential analysis of topographic survey data obtained via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) revealed significant displacements occurring in directions different from those detected by the monitoring stations. Although displacement patterns vary depending on the location within the dome, the dome as a whole exhibits synchronized large-scale displacements. These findings suggest that not only gravitational deformation, but also the formation of slip surfaces within the dome, potentially triggered by rainfall, are contributing factors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

噴火初期の水蒸気爆発を除いて,降雨が溶岩ドーム崩落に及ぼす影響はほとんど議論されていなかった.溶岩ドームの変形に関する長期的な測量データは世界的にも極めて貴重であり,溶岩ドーム内部でのすべり面形成を示唆する本研究の成果は,降雨が火山体への浸透を通して火山体の破壊や変形を引き起こすことを意味する.これは,火山特有の現象として知られ,雲仙普賢岳に隣接する眉山でも1792年に深刻な被害をもたらした山体崩壊の予測技術の開発に繋がる点で重要である.本研究で用いた詳細な地形測量や,航空レーザー測量や衛星搭載合成開口レーダーなど,近年の発展が著しいリモートセンシング技術を用いたリスク評価が可能となろう.
