Abstract The current activity at Karymsky Volcano, Kamchatka, began on January 2, 1996, with simultaneous eruptions from two vents located 6 km apart: Karymsky summit vent, which erupted andesite, and a newly formed vent within Academy Nauk caldera, which erupted basalt. Detailed petrologic study of volcanic ash, bombs, and lavas of Karymsky erupted during 1996-1999 provides evidence for basaltic replenishment at the beginning of the eruptive cycle, as well as a record of compositional variations within the Karymsky magma reservoir induced by basaltic recharge. Shortly after the beginning of eruption the composition of matrix glasses of Karymsky tephra became more mafic, and then, within two months, gradually returned to its original state and remained almost constant the following three years. Further evidence for basaltic replenishment includes the presence of xenocrysts of basaltic origin in andesites erupted from Karymsky. A conspicuous portion of plagioclase phenocrysts in Karymsky andesites contain calcic cores, the composition and texture of which mimic those in Academy Nauk basalt. The earlier portions of andesite also contain rare xenocry sts of olivine, which occur as relicts in plagioclase-pyroxene aggregates. The compositions of olivine xenocrysts match those of olivines in Academy Nauk basalt. Compositional variations of glass and the presence of xenocrysts indicate that Karymsky magma reservoir was recharged by basalt at the onset of the 1996 eruptive cycle. The mixing of basalt with host andesite was both thorough and rapid, perhaps due to a modest contrast in temperature, viscosity, and density between the magmas. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Academy Nauk basalt contains granophyre xenoliths. the whole-rock compositions of which are identical to that of dacites erupted twice at 40.000 yr. BP and 7,900 yr. BP. and formed the neighboring Academy Nauk and Karymsky calderas. According to hydrothermal experiments and petrologic observ ations both dacites last equilibrated at 3-4 km depth. At the same depth granophyre phase assemblage is reproduced by isobaric cry stallization of dacites, thus implying that the granophyres represent a crystallized silicic reservoir, which produced dacites 40.000 yr. BP and formed Academy Nauk caldera. In 1996 this cry stallized body was sampled by ascending basalt, which erupted in the northern part of the caldera.

  • Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA) II: Assessment of the Asia-Pacific Region Using VAPAH V
    Miller et al. Journal of Applied Volcanology (2016) 5:4 DOI 10.1186/s13617-016-0044-3 RESEARCH Open Access Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA) II: assessment of the Asia-Pacific region using VAPAH V. Miller1*, A. N. Bear-Crozier1, V. Newey1, N. Horspool1,2 and R. Weber1 Abstract Volcanic ash is an increasingly common, long-range hazard, impacting on our globalised society. The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly developing as a major contributor to the global population and economy and is home to one-quarter of the world’s active volcanoes. Here we present a regional-scale volcanic ash hazard assessment for the Asia-Pacific using a newly developed framework for Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA). This PVAHA was undertaken using the Volcanic Ash Probabilistic Assessment of Hazard (VAPAH) algorithm. The VAPAH algorithm considered a magnitude-frequency distribution of eruptions and associated volcanic ash load attenuation relationships for the Asia-Pacific, and integrated across all possible events to arrive at an annual exceedance probability for sites of interest. The Asia-Pacific region was divided into six sub-regions (e.g. Indonesia, Philippines and Southeast Asia, Melanesia/Australia, Japan/Taiwan, New Zealand/Samoa/Tonga/Fiji and Russia/China/Mongolia/ Korea) characterised by 276 source volcanoes each with individual magnitude-frequency relationships. Sites for analysis within the Asia-Pacific region were limited to land-based locations at 1-km grid spacing, within 500 km of a volcanic source. The Indonesian sub-region exhibited the greatest volcanic ash hazard in the region at the 100-year timeframe, with additional sources (in Japan, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Kamchatka - Russia and New Zealand) along plate boundaries manifesting a high degree of hazard at the 10,000-year timeframe.
