Nogami-Terada Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab observes volcanic gases and heat to investigate the movement of water and heat inside volcanoes.
AboutAbout the lab
Observing active volcanoes through the lens of chemistry.
The Nogami-Terada Lab studies volcanic geochemistry at active volcanoes such as Kusatsu-Shirane, based on observations of volcanic gases and heat.
The lab belongs to the Volcano and Earthquake Research Division of the Multi-Resilience Research Center, and is based at an office on the Ookayama Campus and at the Kusatsu-Shirane Volcano Observatory in Gunma Prefecture.
The division combines observational research in geochemistry and geoelectromagnetism, and students also use it as a place for observational surveys and research training.
The results are expected to improve the forecasting and prediction of volcanic eruptions and to help reduce volcanic disasters.
Key terms
- Volcanic gas
- Gas emitted from volcanic vents such as fumaroles. Besides water vapor, it contains sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases.
- Volatile components
- Components that easily turn into gas, such as water and carbon dioxide. They are dissolved in magma and drive eruptions.
- Hydrothermal system
- A system beneath a volcano in which heated water flows or accumulates.

ResearchResearch themes
The Volcano and Earthquake Research Division, to which the Nogami-Terada Lab belongs, carries out comprehensive basic research on volcanic fluids at active volcanoes, including Kusatsu-Shirane, using observational data obtained with chemical and geophysical methods. Within the division, the geochemical observation research group studies volatile components in magma and hydrothermal systems inside volcanic edifices, and develops new chemical observation methods.
