However, nine specimens were discovered in March and April 2010, in Lake Saiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of the lakes to which eyed eggs of the species were introduced in 1935.

  • 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.

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

Tour members ranged in age from 8 to 89 years old. Very heart-warming to see everyone bond with each other from the moment we boarded our Hawaiian Airlines flight. Experienced the natural beauty of Miyajima Island where we overnighted at the incomparable Iwaso Inn. Enjoyed the thrilling rapids of the downstream Hozu river boat ride. And in spite of the rain, we witnessed the glorious Gion Festival “yamaboko” floats. Eating matsuri (festival) food was my favorite! Grilled giant squid, Hokkaido sweet corn-on-the-cob, and Yakitori (grilled chicken) just for starters! Our team has created many new tours for you to enjoy! Look forward to discovering the world with you. Mahalo for your continued support!

  • Geothermal Linkage Between a Hydrothermal Pond and a Deep Lake: Kuttara Volcano, Japan

In order to explore geothermal relations between Lake Kuttara and the geothermal area, the heat budget of a hydrothermal pond, Okunoyu, was evaluated, and the heat storage change in the lower layer of Lake Kuttara was calculated by monitoring the water temperature at the deepest point. The lake water temperature consistently increased during the thermal stratification in June–November of 2013–2016. The heat flux QB at lake bottom was then calculated at a range of 4.1–10.9 W/m2, which is probably due to the leakage from a hydrothermal reservoir below the lake bottom. Meanwhile, the heat flux HGin by geothermal groundwater input in Okunoyu was evaluated at 3.5–8.5 kW/m2, which is rapidly supplied through faults from underlying hydrothermal reservoirs. With a time lag of 5 months to monthly mean QB values 2 in Lake Kuttara, the correlation with monthly mean HGin in Okunoyu was significant (R = 0.586; p < 0.01).

The volcanic edifice is composed of a pyroclastic cone and pyroclastic flow deposits on the caldera wall, which is concealed on the summit between 400 and 600 m. The volume of the volcanic edifice is approximately 1 km3. The summit is a large crater (summit crater foloor), with a north-south diameter of 1.2 km, and an east-west diameter of 1.5 km. A small pyroclastic cone exists inside it, called the central cone. In 1909, a lava dome was formed in the center of the central cone, with a maximum diameter of approximately 450 m and a relative height of approximately 120 m. All eruptions within recorded history occurred at the summit, and fumaroles and ground heating are identified around the lava dome (Furukawa and Nakagawa, 2010). The SiO2 content is between 52.0 and 64.0 wt %. Fuppushidake, located about 3 km to the north-to-northwest of Tarumaesan, is a post-Shikotsu caldera volcano formed on the south shore of Lake Shikotsu approximately 26,000 years ago. A phreatomagmatic eruption occurred approximately 8,500 years ago, and a phreatic eruption occurred approximately 4,500 years ago, respectively (Furukawa and Nakagawa, 2009).
