Matsuo4 1Far East Geological Institute, FEB RAS, Vladivostok, Russia 2Pacific Institute of Geography, FEB RAS, Vladivostok, Russia 3Toho University, Tokyo, Japan 4Tokyo University, Tokyo, Japan Received on 11 January 2008; revised 22 May 2008 The resent study consists the original geochemical data on the thermal waters of the Kuril Islands (Mendeleev, Golovnin, and Ebeko volcanoes) and relation between thermal waters and ore formation. Among the thermal water types three main groups can be distinguished: sodium–chloride, acid sulfate and chloride-sulfate-bicarbonate. The contents and behaviors of siderophile, chalcophile, lithophile, and rare-earth elements are discussed. These data, together with the result of isotopic studies, enumerates the origin of these waters. The high-temperature sodium-chloride waters have a profound effect on the formation of copper-pyrite mineralization on Mendeleev, Ebeko and Baransky volcanoes. The acid waters influence the processes of hypergenic ore formation Key words: geochemistry of thermal waters, stable isotopes, ore formation, Kuril Islands Introduction compounds, and the rest are aluminum, iron, zinc, The Kuril island arc is a natural extension of the copper, among others.

  • Russo-Japanese Relations: Opportunity for a Rapprochement?
    Russo-Japanese Relations: Opportunity for a Rapprochement? PEGGY FALKENHEIM MEYER ince the end of the cold war, only limited progress has been made in Russo- SJapanese relations. Ties between Russia and Japan have been strained by strong, historically rooted mistrust and by failure to resolve their territorial dis- pute over three islands and a small archipelago near Hokkaido. The disappoint- ingly low level of economic ties between the two countries has not provided a strong incentive for better relations. Recently, however, there have been signs of progress between Russia and Japan. In a speech in late July 1997, Japan’s prime minister, Ryutaro Hashimo- to, adopted a significantly new approach to Russia. The early November 1997 summit between Hashimoto and Russian President Boris Yeltsin at Krasnoyarsk confirmed their intention to bring about a radical improvement in Russo-Japan- ese relations. In this article, I explore the obstacles that impeded an improvement in Russo- Japanese relations after the end of the cold war. I then analyze the recent incen- tives for change and evaluate how far-reaching that change is likely to be. I argue that incremental improvement is taking place in Russo-Japanese relations and that there now is a possibility of greater change. However, there still are a number of serious obstacles to a full rapprochement. Mistrust Strong, historically rooted, mutual mistrust is one reason for the lack of progress in post–cold war Russo-Japanese relations, which have been embittered by a his- tory of conflict going back to tsarist times. Russians resent Japan’s encroachment on what they consider their rightful spheres of influence in Manchuria and Korea; Japan’s victory in the 1904–05 Russo-Japanese war; its seizure of territory as a fruit of victory; and its military intervention in Siberia after the Bolshevik revo- Peggy Falkenheim Meyer is an associate professor of political science at Simon Fraser Uni- versity in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver.

VALLEY 1Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA 2Institute of Volcanic Geology and Geochemistry, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia 3Geologisk Institut, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark (Received March 20, 2003; accepted in revised form July 16, 2003) Abstract—We present the results of a regional study of oxygen and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes of Pleistocene to Recent arc volcanism in the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuriles, with emphasis on the largest caldera- forming centers. The ␦18O values of phenocrysts, in combination with numerical crystallization modeling (MELTS) and experimental fractionation factors, are used to derive best estimates of primary values for ␦18O(magma). Magmatic ␦18O values span 3.5‰ and are correlated with whole-rock Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes and major elements. Our data show that Kamchatka is a region of isotopic diversity with high-␦18O basaltic magmas (sampling mantle to lower crustal high-␦18O sources), and low-␦18O silicic volcanism (sampling low-␦18O upper crust). Among one hundred Holocene and Late Pleistocene eruptive units from 23 volcanic centers, one half represents low-␦18O magmas (ϩ4 to 5‰). Most low-␦ 18O magmas are voluminous silicic ignimbrites related to large Ͼ10 km3 caldera-forming eruptions and subsequent intracaldera lavas and domes: Holocene multi-caldera Ksudach volcano, Karymsky and Kurile Lake-Iliinsky calderas, and Late Pleistocene Maly Semyachik, Akademy Nauk, and Uzon calderas.

Ebeko is an active volcano on Paramushir Island, northern Kuril Islands, showing characteristic Vulcanian-type activity. In 2019, we started a comprehensive survey using a combination of field station records and repeated unoccupied aircraft system (UAS) surveys to describe the geomorphological features of the edifice and its evolution during ongoing activity. Seismic data revealed the activity of the volcano and were complemented by monitoring cameras, showing a mean explosion interval of 34 min. Digital terrain data generated from UAS quadcopter photographs allowed for the identification of the dimensions of the craters, a structural architecture and the tephra deposition at cm-scale resolution. The UAS was equipped with a thermal camera, which in combination with the terrain data, allowed it to identify fumaroles, volcano-tectonic structures and vents and generate a catalog of 282 thermal spots. The data provide details on a nested crater complex, aligned NNE-SSW, erupting on the northern rim of the former North Crater.

Hydrothermal fluxes of magmatic chlorine and sulfur from volcano-hydrothermal systems of the Kuril Islands (Russia). Elena Kalacheva (1) and Yuri Taran (1,2) (1) Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, FED RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky 683006, Russia ([email protected]), (2) Institute of Geophysics, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México City 04510, México ([email protected]) The hydrothermal flux may be provided by the discharge of fluids formed at depth over the magma body and/or by acid waters, which are formed by the absorption of the ascending volcanic vapor by shallow groundwater. Thus, the anion composition (Cl and SO4) of the discharging thermal waters from a volcano-hydrothermal system in many cases originates from the volcanic vapor and should be taken into account in estimations of the magmatic volatile output and volatile recycling in subduction zones. Here we report the chemical composition of thermal waters and the measured solute fluxes from volcano-hydrothermal systems of Kuril Islands including Paramushir (Ebeko volcanic centre), Shiashkotan (volcanoes Sinarka and Kuntomintar), Ketoy (Pallas volcano), Kunashir (vol- canoes Mendeleev and Golovnin). The fluxes were estimated after measuring flow rates and water composition of streams that drain thermal fields of islands. The maximal hydrothermal flux of Cl and S within the Kuril Chain was measured for Ebeko volcano, Paramushir (drained by Yurieva River) as 82 t/d and 222 t/d of chloride and sulfate, respectively. This is comparable with output by fumaroles of Ebeko.

  • Russia Background
    The World Factbook Central Asia :: Russia Introduction :: Russia Background: Founded in the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy, was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities. In the early 17th century, a new Romanov Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific. Under PETER I (ruled 1682-1725), hegemony was extended to the Baltic Sea and the country was renamed the Russian Empire. During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made in Europe and Asia. Defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 contributed to the Revolution of 1905, which resulted in the formation of a parliament and other reforms. Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in World War I led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire and to the overthrow in 1917 of the imperial household. The communists under Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR. The brutal rule of Iosif STALIN (1928-53) strengthened communist rule and Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 splintered the USSR into Russia and 14 other independent republics. Since then, Russia has shifted its post-Soviet democratic ambitions in favor of a centralized semi-authoritarian state in which the leadership seeks to legitimize its rule through managed national elections, populist appeals by President PUTIN, and continued economic growth.
