Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted the resistivity surveys, the ground deformation analysis of InSAR images, the thermal observation, and the geochemical analysis of hot-spring waters in the Jigokudani valley of Tateyama volcano, where phreatic eruptions repeatedly occurred in the past and the volcanic activity has been increasing. These analyses revealed a typical cap structure consisting of near-surface cap rock overlying a gas reservoir, which has been detected in many volcanoes known to undergo repeated phreatic eruptions. We confirmed that the shallow subsurface of the Jigokudani Valley is in the pressurized and high-temperature state. In addition, we clarified that all hot springs are formed by the mixing of magmatic fluid and local meteoric water and have a common parent fluid that differentiates into three types in the shallow hydrothermal system. From these findings, we consider that the shallow ground of Jigokudani Valley is satisfying the requirements for causing a phreatic eruption.
