  • Modelling Global Fresh Surface Water Temperature
    Modelling global fresh surface water temperature Tessa Eikelboom MSc Thesis Physical Geography May 2010 Supervisors: Dr. L.P.H. van Beek and Prof. Dr. Ir. M.F.P. Bierkens Department of Physical Geography Faculty of Geosciences Utrecht University 1 ABSTRACT A change in fresh surface water temperature influences biological and chemical parameters such as oxygen and nutrient availability, but also has major effects on hydrological and physical processes which include transport, sediment concentration, ice formation and ice melt. The thermal profile of fresh surface waters depends on meteorological and morphological characteristics. Climate change influences the water and energy budget and thereby also the thermal structure of fresh surface waters. The oceans temperature is influenced by the inflow of rivers and streams. The variations in fresh surface water temperatures are only known for a scarce amount of long term temperature records. The understanding of changes in thermal processes by modelling the variations in temperature over time is therefore very useful to simulate the global effect of climate change on water temperatures. A physical based model was validated with regional daily and global monthly water temperature data of fresh surface water which includes both rivers and lakes. The basic assumption for the PCR‐GLOBWB model is the assumption that the fresh surface water temperature is the net result of all incoming en outgoing fluxes. The global hydrological model PCR‐GLOBWB contains a water and heat budget. The heat balance is solved using the following terms: short‐wave insolation, long‐wave atmospheric radiation, water‐surface backscatter, evaporation, air/water conduction and can be simplified into lateral and advective energy.

National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention 3. Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University •Observation of spray icing •Thin section, NMR imaging •Cold laboratory experiment •Estimation of Snow Mass Fraction IWAIS2015 Uppsala Spray ice is frozen ice formed from sea or lake spray water in cold regions and accreted on ships, offshore structures, and trees in lakeside, developing into a massive ice form. Spray On Breakwater Freezing spray is the main cause of spray icing. Contribution of snow accretion? Spray ice accretion often occurs under intense snowfall. The contribution of snow to spray icing is investigated using field observations and laboratory experiments. • We collected samples of spray ice, snow, and water on the west coast of Hokkaido Island and in Lake Inawashiro and Lake Towada of Main Island, Japan. • The structural characteristics of the spray ice were analyzed using conventional thin- section and NMR imaging. • The snow mass fraction of the spray ice samples was calculated from the isotopic mass balance. West coast of Hokkaido Island High waves caused by north-westerly wind often generated a heavy spray jet at the dummy light beacons. The spray icing grew under heavy sea-water spray and during low temperatures. Additionally, stormy weather often generated not only heavy spray jets, but also intense snowfall. Thin section of sea spray ice Layered structure of a sea-water spray ice sample in cross section. The observed layering in the samples depends on the growth history of the spray ice.

    Original article Role Sharing among Stakeholders in Collaboration Projects for Lake Basin Conservation Naoko HIRAYAMA* and Shinji IDE* Abstract：Collaborative activities among governments, NPOs, private companies, and citizens are essential for lake basin conservation. To clarify the differences of forms of collaboration and factors determining the forms, the authors investigated all the prefectural governments in Japan if they have conservation plans for lakes and collaborative activities carried out within the plans, and what is the role of each stakeholder in the activities. As a result, 110 collaborative activities were implemented at 18 lakes in 2016. According to the type of role sharing and visualized roles of respective stakeholders, the activities could be categorized into the following four types: “Council initiative type”, “Government initiative type”, “Well-balanced type”, and “Environmental education type”. It was also revealed that all “Council initiative type” activities have similar forms of collaboration as the measure councils were established by respective local governments and have had fixed relationships with the governments for many years; and “Government initiative type” activities have various forms of role sharing even in similar projects. Key Words： water environment, citizen participation, cooperation, cluster analysis independently.

  • Characteristics of Seismic Activity Before and After the 2018 M6.7 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake Takao Kumazawa1*, Yosihiko Ogata2 and Hiroshi Tsuruoka1
    Kumazawa et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2019) 71:130 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-019-1102-y FULL PAPER Open Access Characteristics of seismic activity before and after the 2018 M6.7 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake Takao Kumazawa1*, Yosihiko Ogata2 and Hiroshi Tsuruoka1 Abstract We applied the epidemic type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model, the two-stage ETAS model and the non-stationary ETAS model to investigate the detailed features of the series of earthquake occurrences before and after the M6.7 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake on 6 September 2018, based on earthquake data from October 1997. First, after the 2003 M8.0 Tokachi-Oki earthquake, seismic activity in the Eastern Iburi region reduced relative to the ETAS model. During this period, the depth ranges of the seismicity were migrating towards shallow depths, where a swarm cluster, including a M5.1 earthquake, fnally occurred in the deepest part of the range. This swarm activity was well described by the non-stationary ETAS model until the M6.7 main shock. The aftershocks of the M6.7 earthquake obeyed the ETAS model until the M5.8 largest aftershock, except for a period of several days when small, swarm-like activity was found at the southern end of the aftershock region. However, when we focus on the medium and larger aftershocks, we observed quiescence relative to the ETAS model from 8.6 days after the main shock until the M5.8 largest after- shock. For micro-earthquakes, we further studied the separated aftershock sequences in the naturally divided after- shock volumes. We found that the temporal changes in the background rate and triggering coefcient (aftershock productivity) in respective sub-volumes were in contrast with each other.

  • New Frontiers in Japanese Studies
    New Frontiers in Japanese Studies Over the last 70 years, Japanese Studies scholarship has gone through several dominant paradigms, from ‘demystifying the Japanese’, to analysis of Japanese economic strength, to discussion of global interest in Japanese popular culture. This book assesses this literature, considering future directions for research into the 2020s and beyond. Shifting the geographical emphasis of Japanese Studies away from the West to the Asia-Pacific region, this book identifies topic areas in which research focusing on Japan will play an important role in global debates in the coming years. This includes the evolution of area studies, coping with ageing populations, the various patterns of migration and environmental breakdown. With chapters from an international team of contributors, including significant representation from the Asia-Pacific region, this book enacts Yoshio Sugimoto’s notion of ‘cosmopolitan methodology’ to discuss Japan in an interdisciplinary and trans- national context and provides overviews of how Japanese Studies is evolving in other Asian countries such as China and Indonesia. New Frontiers in Japanese Studies is a thought-provoking volume and will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese and Asian Studies. Akihiro Ogawa is Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute, Australia. His major research interest is in contemporary Japanese society, focusing on civil society. Philip Seaton is a Professor in the Institute of Japan Studies, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan. His main research areas are Japanese memories of the Asia-Pacific War and tourism induced by popular culture.

  • 36. Bandaisan
    36. Bandaisan Continuously Monitored by JMA Latitude: 37°36'04" N, Longitude: 140°04'20" E, Elevation: 1,816 m (Bandaisan) (Triangulation Point - Bandai) Overview of Bandaisa, taken from the west side on September 21, 1984. Courtesy of Asia Air Survey Co., Ltd. Summary Bandaisan is located at the north of Lake Inawashiro, Fukushima Prefecture. It is an andesitic stratovolcano with a base diameter between 7 and 10 km, and a relative height of approximately 1 km. The Numanotaira crater is surrounded by peaks such as Akahaniyama, Obandai, and Kushigamine, forming a conical volcanic edifice. The current topography is the result of repeated collapses. The 1888 collapse and debris avalanche, caused by a phreatic eruption, is famous, but there are also debris avalanche deposits such as the Okinajima and Zunashi deposits to the southwest, and corresponding collapsed walls were identified in the volcanic edifice. The SiO2 content is between 56.5 and 64.4 wt %. Activity of Bandaisan can be divided into two stages, the old and new stages, separated by a period of inactivity (Yamamoto and Suto, 1996). Activity in the old-stage consisted mainly of the formation of Akahaniyama and Kushigamine. Activity in the new-stage included the formation of Kobandaisan, which collapsed in the 1888 eruption, and Obandaisan. During the new stage, Okinajima debris avalanche and pumice flow deposits deposited at the southern foot of the volcano (Chiba et al., 1994; Mimura and Endo, 1997). A volcanic edifice was formed again inside the horseshoe-shaped caldera left by the collapse. Major magmatic eruptions stopped several tens of thousands of years ago, after which activity shifted to phreatic eruptions (Chiba et al., 1994; Yamamoto and Suto, 1996).
