  • An Overview of Analogue Models Compared to Natural Calderas ⁎ Valerio Acocella
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Earth-Science Reviews 85 (2007) 125–160 www.elsevier.com/locate/earscirev Understanding caldera structure and development: An overview of analogue models compared to natural calderas ⁎ Valerio Acocella Dipartimento Scienze Geologiche Roma Tre, Roma, Italy Received 1 August 2006; accepted 15 August 2007 Available online 28 August 2007 Abstract Understanding the structure and development of calderas is crucial for predicting their behaviour during periods of unrest and to plan geothermal and ore exploitation. Geological data, including that from analysis of deeply eroded examples, allow the overall surface setting of calderas to be defined, whereas deep drillings and geophysical investigations provide insights on their subsurface structure. Collation of this information from calderas worldwide has resulted in the recent literature in five main caldera types (downsag, piston, funnel, piecemeal, trapdoor), being viewed as end-members. Despite its importance, such a classification does not adequately examine: (a) the structure of calderas (particularly the nature of the caldera's bounding faults); and (b) how this is achieved (including the genetic relationships among the five caldera types). Various sets of analogue models, specifically devoted to study caldera architecture and development, have been recently performed, under different conditions (apparatus, materials, scaling parameters, stress conditions). The first part of this study reviews these experiments, which induce collapse as a result of underpressure or overpressure within the chamber analogue. The experiments simulating overpressure display consistent results, but the experimental depressions require an exceptional amount of doming, seldom observed in nature, to form; therefore, these experiments are not appropriate to understand the structure and formation of most natural calderas.

  • Tomographic Image of the Crust Beneath the Aira Caldera in Southern Kyushu
    IAVCEI 2013 Scientific Assembly - July 20 - 24, Kagoshima, Japan Forecasting Volcanic Activity - Reading and translating the messages of nature for society 4W_1B-P5 Date/Time: July 24 Poster Tomographic image of the crust beneath the Aira caldera in southern Kyushu Hiroki Miyamachi1, Paul Karson Alanis2, Hiroshi Yakiwara1, Takeshi Tameguri3, Masato Iguchi3 1Kagoshima University, Japan, 2Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Philippines, 3Kyoto University, Japan E-mail: [email protected] Associated with the Philippine Sea plate subduction, a nearly straight chain of active Quaternary volcanism runs almost parallel to Nankai Trough in the central part of southern Kyushu. In this region, there are four large calderas: the Kakuto, the Aira, the Ata and the Kikai calderas. We applied the tomography method with a fine grid configuration to the P- and S-wave arrival times of 829 local earthquakes well observed at 101 stations in central and southern Kyushu, and revealed the detailed three-dimensional seismic velocity structure of the crust, especially the region beneath the Aira caldera. In a shallow range from 0 to 10 km depth, low velocity zones (LVZs) are found in the eastern part of Kyushu, where basement rocks are made up of uplifted sedimentary marine terraces (Nakada et al., 2002). The LVZs are also distributed along the volcanic front between Kirishima volcano to Kaimon volcano. Meanwhile, the hypocenters occurred in the inland area are obviously concentrated in regions with a relatively higher velocity and a low Poisson’s ratio at a depth of 10 km. At 20 km depth, the most interesting feature is that a distinctly high Poisson’s ratio zone is located exactly beneath the Aira caldera.

  • Shallow Magma Pre-Charge During Repeated Plinian Eruptions At
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Shallow magma pre-charge during repeated Plinian eruptions at Sakurajima volcano Received: 19 October 2018 Naoki Araya1, Michihiko Nakamura1, Atsushi Yasuda2, Satoshi Okumura1, Tomoki Sato 1,3, Accepted: 28 December 2018 Masato Iguchi4, Daisuke Miki4 & Nobuo Geshi5 Published: xx xx xxxx Vigorous explosive eruptions that produce continuous high eruption plumes (Plinian eruptions) are generally assumed to tap a magma reservoir. The 1914 Plinian eruption at the Sakurajima volcano located on the Aira caldera rim is one such case, where the main magma reservoir was assumed to be located approximately 10 km beneath the caldera. However, we report that estimated magma storage depths immediately prior to the eruption were much shallower (0.9–3.2 km) on the basis of pressure at which volatiles within the phenocryst melt inclusions and plagioclase rims were fnally equilibrated. The same is observed for two historic Plinian eruptions in 1471 and 1779. This depth is even shallower than the shallowest magma reservoir estimated from the pressure source for geodetic deformation during recent Vulcanian explosions (4 km beneath the crater). We propose that the magmas were fed from a thick conduit pre-charged from deeper reservoirs. The ground subsidence observed after 1914 within the Aira caldera may have been caused by conduit recharge following the eruption. Voluminous conduit recharge could be key to forecasting the next possible large eruption at the Sakurajima volcano. Forecasting the initiation of future eruptions is a challenging but rewarding task in volcanology. A common and promising approach is to learn from pre-eruptive processes of past, similar eruptions1–5.

  • Shallow Velocity Structure Beneath the Aira Caldera and Sakurajima Volcano As Inferred from Refraction Analysis of the Seismic Experiment in 2008

We found that a basement layer with a velocity of 4.6-5.0 km/s, which corresponds to geologically the Shimanto Group, inclines toward the central part of the Aira caldera. A low velocity zone with a velocity of 4.2-4.4 km/s is located in a depth range 1.5-3 km in the central part of the caldera. This low velocity zone suggests high activity of the magma plumbing system from the deep magma reservoir distributed beneath the caldera. It is found that the basement layer steeply falls down from 1 km to 2.5 km in depth along the northwestern boundary of the Kagoshima graben.

  • Thermomechanical Controls on Magma Supply And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Thermomechanical controls on magma supply and volcanic deformation: application to Aira Received: 10 March 2016 Accepted: 03 August 2016 caldera, Japan Published: 13 September 2016 James Hickey1,†, Joachim Gottsmann1, Haruhisa Nakamichi2 & Masato Iguchi2 Ground deformation often precedes volcanic eruptions, and results from complex interactions between source processes and the thermomechanical behaviour of surrounding rocks. Previous models aiming to constrain source processes were unable to include realistic mechanical and thermal rock properties, and the role of thermomechanical heterogeneity in magma accumulation was unclear. Here we show how spatio-temporal deformation and magma reservoir evolution are fundamentally controlled by three- dimensional thermomechanical heterogeneity. Using the example of continued inflation at Aira caldera, Japan, we demonstrate that magma is accumulating faster than it can be erupted, and the current uplift is approaching the level inferred prior to the violent 1914 Plinian eruption. Magma storage conditions coincide with estimates for the caldera-forming reservoir ~29,000 years ago, and the inferred magma supply rate indicates a ~130-year timeframe to amass enough magma to feed a future 1914-sized eruption. These new inferences are important for eruption forecasting and risk mitigation, and have significant implications for the interpretations of volcanic deformation worldwide. The location and magnitude of crustal magma accumulation has important implications for volcanic hazards, eruption forecasting and risk mitigation1. It is possible to infer first-order estimates of these parameters using spatial patterns in geodetic data and generic models2,3. However, for more informed constraints, that are consist- ent across independent data sets, the inclusion of additional geophysical and geological observables are essential, necessitating the development of more sophisticated models.
