  • Periodic Behavior in Lava Dome Eruptions
    Earth and Planetary Science Letters 199 (2002) 173^184 www.elsevier.com/locate/epsl Periodic behavior in lava dome eruptions A. Barmin a, O. Melnik a;b, R.S.J. Sparks b;Ã a Institute of Mechanics, Moscow State University, 1-Michurinskii prosp., Moscow 117192, Russia b Centre for Geophysical and Environmental Flows, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Wills Memorial Building, Queen’s Road, Bristol BS8 1RJ, UK Received 16 September 2001; accepted 20 February 2002 Abstract Lava dome eruptions commonly display fairly regular alternations between periods of high activity and periods of low or no activity. The time scale for these alternations is typically months to several years. Here we develop a generic model of magma discharge through a conduit from an open-system magma chamber with continuous replenishment. The model takes account of the principal controls on flow, namely the replenishment rate, magma chamber size, elastic deformation of the chamber walls, conduit resistance, and variations of magma viscosity, which are controlled by degassing during ascent and kinetics of crystallization. The analysis indicates a rich diversity of behavior with periodic patterns similar to those observed. Magma chamber size can be estimated from the period with longer periods implying larger chambers. Many features observed in volcanic eruptions such as alternations between periodic behaviors and continuous discharge, sharp changes in discharge rate, and transitions from effusive to catastrophic explosive eruption can be understood in terms of the non-linear dynamics of conduit flows from open-system magma chambers. The dynamics of lava dome growth at Mount St. Helens (1980^1987) and Santiaguito (1922^2000) was analyzed with the help of the model.

  • Preservation of Disaster Monuments for Tourism and Education in Mount Unzen
    Journal of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering 2 (2016) 18-23 D doi: 10.17265/2332-8223/2016.02.003 DAVID PUBLISHING Preservation of Disaster Monuments for Tourism and Education in Mount Unzen Shin’ichi Sugimoto1, and Chiharu Hayashi2 1. Regional Policy Research Center, Iwate Prefectural University, Iwate, 020-0693, Japan 2. Sanriku Geopark Promotion Committee, Iwate, 027-0072, Japan Abstract: The territory of the Shimabara Peninsula could recover steadily from volcanic disasters associated with the eruption at Unzen during 1991-1995. The disasters and the recovery brought various lessons, related to responses to volcanic eruptions and hazards, support system for people impacted by the disasters and the method for socioeconomic recovery. After the eruption, education facilities to learn volcanic eruptions and disasters, such as the Mount Unzen Disaster Memorial Hall, were prepared, as well as scientific projects to clarify eruption mechanisms were carried out. Under these circumstances, holding two international conferences were invited. The 5th Cities on Volcanoes Conference and the 5th International UNESCO Conference on Geoparks were held in Shimabara in 2007 and 2012, respectively. Under these circumstances, holding two international conferences were invited. On the process that local people recovered from the disasters, the communities carried out disaster-prevention education and volcano tourism, utilizing the Mount Unzen Disaster Memorial Hall and the park of houses buried by mudflow deposits. The memorial hall archives valuable materials of the disasters and provides simulations of volcanic eruptions with the newest technology, by which visitors can learn about volcanic eruptions. Disaster remains, such as the memorial hall and park, are effective for visitors who did not experience volcanic disasters and are difficult to imagine the real volcanic hazard.

  • Kikigaki 5 ( 482 to 632 ) Sayings and Deeds of Lords Mitsushige and Tsunashige
    Kikigaki 5 ( 482 to 632 ) Sayings and deeds of Lords Mitsushige and Tsunashige 482) Lord Mitsushige inherits his household in February, 1657 at the age of 26. On February 19, Okabe Naizen and Tamba-no-kami summoned Nabeshima Izumi- no-kami Naotomo to Edo Castle, and informed that Lord Katsushige was admitted to retire and that Mitsushige, his grandson, was allowed to succeed to the household of Saga Clan. On March 1 Prince Mitsushige paid a visit to the castle to express his gratitude to the Shogunate. He donated a sword inscribed with the name of Bungo Yukihira, 300 leaves of silver, 100 hundred sheets of fine silk, while Lord Katsushige offered a sword made by Sadamune and a scroll of picture with a peony design. Nabeshima Mondo, Nabeshima Nui-no-suke, and Arita Kageyu, administrative retainers, also donated ex- penses to buy horses. On January 18 a big fire broke out in Edo, burning our clan’s Sakurada residence. Prince Mitsushige moved to the Aoyama residence, then again to the Azabu residence on May 4. On May 19 a gale blew and burnt Edo Castle and many more houses, though the secondary enclosure of the castle escaped the fire. Spreading to nearly 90 km, it claimed the lives of more than 37,000 people. ＊ Okabe Naizen and Tamba-no-kami were high ranking officials for the Shogunate. ＊ Nabeshima Izumi-no-kami was the lord of the Kashima branch clan. 483) The era name changes from Meireki to Manji in May 1658. The lord is aged 27. Lord Mitsushige was admitted by the Shogunate to return to Saga in February, and left Edo on the last day, arriving in Saga on April 5.

  • Volcanic Hazards
    have killed more than 5,000 people. Two important points are demonstrated by this. The first is that the most deadly eruptions are generally pyroclastic: lava flows are rarely a main cause of death. The second is that it is not always the biggest eruptions that cause the most deaths. Even quite small eruptions can be major killers – for example the 1985 eruption of Ruiz, which resulted in 5 the second largest number of volcanic fatalities of the twentieth century. Sometimes volcanoes kill people even when they are not erupting: Iliwerung 1979 (a landslide, not associated with an Volcanic hazards eruption, that caused a tsunami when it entered the sea) and Lake Nyos 1986 (escaping gas) being examples of death by two different non-eruptive mechanisms. In this chapter you will learn: • about the most devastating volcanic eruptions of historic times Some of the causes of death listed in Table 5.1 may need further • about the wide variety of ways in which eruptions can cause death elaboration. Famine, for example, is a result of crop failure and/ and destruction (including by triggering a tsunami). or the loss of livestock because of fallout, pyroclastic flows or gas poisoning. It is often accompanied by the spread of disease In previous chapters I dealt with the different types of volcano as a result of insanitary conditions brought about by pollution that occur and the ways in which they can erupt. The scene is now of the water supply. In the modern world it is to be hoped that set to examine the hazards posed to human life and well-being international food aid to a stricken area would prevent starvation by volcanic eruptions.

The esD perate Rebels of Shimabara: The conomicE and Political Persecutions And the Tradition of Peasant Revolt Abstract The himS abara Rebellion has been studied throughout history by historians of East Asia. Originally conceived by both Japanese and Western scholars as a religious revolt against the anti-Christian Tokugawa government, later scholars contended that the Rebellion was a demonstration by the mistreated and impoverished and only tacitly related to Christian influences. This paper sets out to build on that narrative and to show the connection between the Christian resistance to the Tokugawa government and the movement of impoverished and desperate peasants, pushed to the brink of existence. Furthermore, this paper hopes to explore the goals of the Rebellion and establish the Shimabara Rebellion within the context of other rebellions during the Tokugawa era.
