The lab uses seismic observation data to investigate magma chambers and volcanic earthquakes beneath volcanoes.
AboutAbout the lab
Probing the subsurface of volcanoes through seismic observation
The Yukutake Lab uses seismic observation data to study the phenomena occurring beneath volcanoes.
Magma chambers lie beneath volcanoes, and the supply of magma and hydrothermal fluids causes a variety of phenomena, including earthquakes, crustal deformation, and eruptions. However, much about the mechanisms behind them remains unknown.
The lab aims to elucidate the structure of magma chambers, the causes of volcanic earthquakes, and the process by which magma is supplied from deep in the crust to shallow parts of volcanoes.
Key terms
- Magma chamber
- A place underground where magma accumulates. Magma and hydrothermal fluids are supplied upward from here.
- Low-frequency earthquake
- An earthquake in which slow shaking is more prominent than in ordinary earthquakes. Deep beneath volcanoes, these earthquakes are considered to be related to the movement of magma and other fluids.
- Volcanic earthquake
- An earthquake that occurs at or around a volcano in connection with the movement of magma or hydrothermal fluids.
ResearchResearch themes
Making the fullest use of seismic observation data, the lab seeks to clarify the structure of magma chambers beneath volcanoes and the causes of the volcanic earthquakes that occur around them. It also aims to understand the process by which magma is supplied from deep in the crust to shallow parts of volcanoes.
