| Research Abstract |
In order to monitor the volcanic fluid system and to elucidate the mechanism of magma ascent before eruptions, we deployed broadband seismometer and GPS networks in Aso volcano. We also conducted a series of dense array observations to monitor shallow fluid flow activities. As the result, (l) we were successful to observe extremely fast fluid movements in the shallow part of the volcano that appear to indicate a well developed shallow conduit system, (2) we have presented a model that explains the activities of long-period (15s) and short-period (1s) tremors as a result of the activities of a single conduit system of hydrothermal fluid flows. We have also developed an efficient method to compute the dynamic response of a fluid-filled crack that is flexible to many applications which may be encountered in volcano seismology.
