AboutAbout the lab
Empirically investigating magma and fluids in subduction zones
The Volcanology and Geofluids Lab studies the movement of magma and subsurface fluids in active subduction zones such as the Northeast Japan arc.
The lab investigates the mechanisms by which magma is generated, rises, resides underground, changes in composition, and leads to eruption, as well as the relationship between plate dehydration and earthquake occurrence.
It uses a variety of methods, including fieldwork, chemical analysis of rocks and minerals, high-pressure, high-temperature experiments, and numerical simulation.
Key terms
- Subduction zone
- A place where an oceanic plate sinks beneath another plate. Volcanoes and earthquakes are common there
- Magma
- A high-temperature liquid formed by the melting of rock underground. When it rises and reaches the surface, it causes a volcanic eruption
- High-pressure, high-temperature experiments
- Experiments that use equipment to create the high temperatures and pressures of the deep subsurface in order to study changes in rocks and magma
ResearchResearch themes
Focusing on active subduction zones, typified by the Northeast Japan arc, the lab investigates everything from the development of island arcs and trenches to the mechanisms of eruptions. It conducts empirical research using diverse methods, from fieldwork to experiments and numerical calculation.
