We have documented 80 tephra beds dating from ca. 9.5 to >50 ka, contained within continuously deposited palaeolake sediments from Onepoto Basin, a volcanic explosion crater in Auckland, New Zealand. The known sources for distal (>190 km from vent) tephra include the rhyolitic Taupo Volcanic Centre (4) and Okataina Volcanic Centre (14), and the andesitic Taranaki volcano (40) and Tongariro Volcanic Centre (3). The record provides evidence for four new events between ca. 50 and 28 ka (Mangaone Subgroup) suggesting Okataina was more active than previously known. The tephra record also greatly extends the known northern dispersal of other Mangaone Subgroup tephra. Ten rhyolitic tephra pre-date the Rotoehu eruption (>ca. 50 ka), and some are chemically dissimilar to post-50 ka rhyolites. Some of these older tephra were produced by large-magnitude events; however, their source remains uncertain. Eight tephra from the local basaltic Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) are also identified. Interpolation of sedimentation rates allow us to estimate the timing of 12 major explosive eruptions from Taranaki volcano in the 27.5-9.5-ka period. In addition, 28 older events are recognised. The tephra are trachytic to rhyolitic in composition. All have high K2O contents (>3 wt%), and there are no temporal trends. This contrasts with the proximal lava record that shows a trend of increasing K2O with time. By combining the Onepoto tephra record with that of the previously documented Pukaki crater, 15 AVF basaltic fall events are constrained at: 34.6, 30.9, 29.6, 29.6, 25.7, 25.2, 24.2, 23.8, 19.4, 19.4, 15.8 and 14.5 ka, and three pre-50 ka events. This provides some of the best age constraints for the AVF, and the only reliable data for hazard recurrence calculations. The minimum event frequency of both distal and local fall events can be estimated, and demonstrates the Auckland City region is frequently impacted by ash fall from many volcanoes. 相似文献

The postglacial eruption rate for the Mount Adams volcanic field is ∼0.1 km3/k.y., four to seven times smaller than the average rate for the past 520 k.y. Ten vents have been active since the last main
deglaciation ∼15 ka. Seven high flank vents (at 2100–2600 m) and the central summit vent of the 3742-m stratocone produced
varied andesites, and two peripheral vents (at 2100 and 1200 m) produced mildly alkalic basalt. Eruptive ages of most of these
units are bracketed with respect to regional tephra layers from Mount Mazama and Mount St. Helens. The basaltic lavas and
scoria cones north and south of Mount Adams and a 13-km-long andesitic lava flow on its east flank are of early postglacial
age. The three most extensive andesitic lava-flow complexes were emplaced in the mid-Holocene (7–4 ka). Ages of three smaller
Holocene andesite units are less well constrained. A phreatomagmatic ejecta cone and associated andesite lavas that together
cap the summit may be of latest Pleistocene age, but a thin layer of mid-Holocene tephra appears to have erupted there as
well. An alpine-meadow section on the southeast flank contains 24 locally derived Holocene andesitic ash layers intercalated
with several silicic tephras from Mazama and St. Helens. Microprobe analyses of phenocrysts from the ash layers and postglacial
lavas suggest a few correlations and refine some age constraints. Approximately 6 ka, a 0.07-km3 debris avalanche from the southwest face of Mount Adams generated a clay-rich debris flow that devastated >30 km2 south of the volcano. A gravitationally metastable 2-to 3-km3 reservoir of hydrothermally altered fragmental andesite remains on the ice-capped summit and, towering 3 km above the surrounding
lowlands, represents a greater hazard than an eruptive recurrence in the style of the last 15 k.y.

Dating alluvial fan surfaces in Owens Valley,California, using weathering fractures in boulders 下载免费PDF全文
Mitch D'Arcy Duna C. Roda Boluda Alexander C. Whittaker Alfredo Carpineti 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2015,40(4):487-501
A wide range of sedimentological and geomorphological field research depends on the availability of accurate and detailed depositional age models. Although exposure dating techniques such as cosmogenic nuclide and luminescence dating are now widely available, they remain expensive and time‐consuming, and this frequently limits the density of age constraints and the resolutions of age models for many study areas. We present a simple and effective, field‐based approach for extending and correlating existing age models to un‐dated surfaces. In Owens Valley, California, we make use of detailed beryllium‐10 (10Be) chronologies reported for four different alluvial fan systems, to precisely calibrate the rate at which weathering fractures are enlarged in granitic surface boulders. We show that these fractures have widened at a time‐integrated rate of 1.05 ± 0.03 mm ka?1 for at least 140 ka at this location, and this relationship can be represented by a linear regression that makes them ideal chronometers for surface dating. Our analysis offers a new approach to refining the uncertainties of both surface erosion rate and cosmogenic age estimates at this location. Ultimately, we integrate our observations to devise a robust age calibration for clast fracture widths in Owens Valley, and we demonstrate its application by estimating the ages of 27 additional local fan surfaces. We present an updated and extended stratigraphy for eight Sierra Nevada fan systems in total, with exceptional age control. This novel approach to dating sedimentary surfaces is inexpensive and easily applied in the field, and has the potential to significantly increase the temporal and spatial density of age constraints available for a particular study area.

The Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) is a young basaltic field that lies beneath the urban area of Auckland, New Zealand’s largest
city. Over the past 250,000 years the AVF has produced at least 49 basaltic centers; the last eruption was only 600 years
ago. In recognition of the high risk associated with a possible future eruption in Auckland, the New Zealand government ran
Exercise Ruaumoko in March 2008, a test of New Zealand’s nation-wide preparedness for responding to a major disaster resulting from a volcanic
eruption in Auckland City. The exercise scenario was developed in secret, and covered the period of precursory activity up
until the eruption. During Exercise Ruaumoko we adapted a recently developed statistical code for eruption forecasting, namely
BET_EF (Bayesian Event Tree for Eruption Forecasting), to independently track the unrest evolution and to forecast the most
likely onset time, location and style of the initial phase of the simulated eruption. The code was set up before the start
of the exercise by entering reliable information on the past history of the AVF as well as the monitoring signals expected
in the event of magmatic unrest and an impending eruption. The average probabilities calculated by BET_EF during Exercise
Ruaumoko corresponded well to the probabilities subjectively (and independently) estimated by the advising scientists (differences
of few percentage units), and provided a sound forecast of the timing (before the event, the eruption probability reached
90%) and location of the eruption. This application of BET_EF to a volcanic field that has experienced no historical activity
and for which otherwise limited prior information is available shows its versatility and potential usefulness as a tool to
aid decision-making for a wide range of volcano types. Our near real-time application of BET_EF during Exercise Ruaumoko highlighted
its potential to clarify and possibly optimize decision-making procedures in a future AVF eruption crisis, and as a rational
starting point for discussions in a scientific advisory group. It also stimulated valuable scientific discussion around how
a future AVF eruption might progress, and highlighted areas of future volcanological research that would reduce epistemic
uncertainties through the development of better input models. 相似文献

The Pliocene-Holocene Newer Volcanic Province (NVP) of southeastern Australia is an extensive, relatively well-preserved, intra-plate basaltic lava field containing more than 400 eruptive centres. This study reports new, high-precision 40Ar/39Ar ages for six young (300–600 ka) basalt flows from the NVP and is part of a broader initiative to constrain the extent, duration, episodicity and causation of NVP volcanism. Six fresh, holocrystalline alkali basalt flows were selected from the Warrnambool-Port Fairy area in the Western Plains sub-province for 40Ar/39Ar dating. These flows were chosen on the basis of pre-existing K-Ar age constraints, which, although variable, indicated eruption during a period of apparent relative volcanic quiescence (0.8–0.06 Ma).40Ar/39Ar ages were measured on multiple aliquots of whole rock basalt samples. Three separate flows from the Mount Rouse volcanic field yielded concordant 40Ar/39Ar age results, with a mean eruption age of 303 ± 13 ka (95% CI). An older weighted mean age of 382 ± 24 ka (2σ) was obtained for one sample from the central Rouse-Port Fairy Flow, suggesting extraneous argon contamination. Two basalt flows from the Mount Warrnambool volcano also yielded analogous results, with an average 40Ar/39Ar age of 542 ± 17 ka (95% CI). The results confirm volcanic activity during the interval of relative quiescence. Most previous K-Ar ages for these flows are generally older than the weighted mean 40Ar/39Ar ages, suggesting the presence of extraneous 40Ar. This study demonstrates the suitability of the 40Ar/39Ar incremental-heating method to obtain precise eruption ages for young, holocrystalline alkali basalt samples in the NVP. 相似文献

Hazard and risk assessment in a complex multi-source volcanic area: the example of the Campania Region, Italy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In order to zone the territory of Campania Region (southern Italy) with regard to the hazard related to future explosive activity
of Somma-Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei, and Ischia Island, we drew a multi-source hazard map for tephra and pyroclastic flows. This
map, which merges the areas possibly endangered by the three volcanic sources, takes into account a large set of tephra fall
and pyroclastic flow events that have occurred in the last 10 ka. In detail, for fall products at Campi Flegrei and Somma-Vesuvio
we used the dispersal of past eruption products as deduced by field surveys and their recurrence over the whole area. For
pyroclastic flows, the field data were integrated with VEI = 4 simulated events; about 100 simulations sourcing from different
points of the area were performed, considering the different probability of vent opening. The spatial recurrence of products
of both past eruptions and simulated events was used to assign a weight to the area endangered by the single volcanic sources.
The sum of these weights in the areas exposed to the activity of two sources and/or to different kinds of products was used
to draw a hazard map, which highlights the spatial trend and the extent of the single equivalent classes at a regional scale.
A multi-source risk map was developed for the same areas as the graphic result of the product of volcanic hazard and exposure,
assessed in detail from a dasymetric map. The resulting multi-source hazard and risk maps are essential tools for communication
among scientists, local authorities, and the public, and may prove highly practical for long-term regional-scale mitigation
planning. 相似文献

The Alban Hills, a Quaternary volcanic center lying west of the central Apennines, 15–25 km southeast of Rome, last erupted
19 ka and has produced approximately 290 km3 of eruptive deposits since the inception of volcanism at 580 ka. Earthquakes of moderate intensity have been generated there
at least since the Roman age. Modern observations show that intermittent periods of swarm activity originate primarily beneath
the youngest features, the phreatomagmatic craters on the west side of the volcano. Results from seismic tomography allow
identification of a low-velocity region, perhaps still hot or partially molten, more than 6 km beneath the youngest craters
and a high-velocity region, probably a solidified magma body, beneath the older central volcanic construct. Thirty centimeters
of uplift measured by releveling supports the contention that high levels of seismicity during the 1980s and 1990s resulted
from accumulation of magma beneath these craters. The volume of magma accumulation and the amount of maximum uplift was probably
at least 40×106 m3 and 40 cm, respectively. Comparison of newer levelings with those completed in 1891 and 1927 suggests earlier episodes of
uplift. The magma chamber beneath the western Alban Hills is probably responsible for much of the past 200 ka of eruptive
activity, is still receiving intermittent batches of magma, and is, therefore, continuing to generate modest levels of volcanic
unrest. Bending of overburden is the most likely cause of the persistent earthquakes, which generally have hypocenters above
the 6-km-deep top of the magma reservoir. In this view, the most recent uplift and seismicity are probably characteristic
and not precursors of more intense activity.

Mount Drum is one of the youngest volcanoes in the subduction-related Wrangell volcanic field (80×200 km) of southcentral
Alaska. It lies at the northwest end of a series of large, andesite-dominated shield volcanoes that show a northwesterly progression
of age from 26 Ma near the Alaska-Yukon border to about 0.2 Ma at Mount Drum. The volcano was constructed between 750 and
250 ka during at least two cycles of cone building and ring-dome emplacement and was partially destroyed by violent explosive
activity probably after 250 ka. Cone lavas range from basaltic andesite to dacite in composition; ring-domes are dacite to
rhyolite. The last constructional activity occurred in the vicinity of Snider Peak, on the south flank of the volcano, where
extensive dacite flows and a dacite dome erupted at about 250 ka. The climactic explosive eruption, that destroyed the top
and a part of the south flank of the volcano, produced more than 7 km3 of proximal hot and cold avalanche deposits and distal mudflows. The Mount Drum rocks have medium-K, calc-alkaline affinities
and are generally plagioclase phyric. Silica contents range from 55.8 to 74.0 wt%, with a compositional gap between 66.8 and
72.8 wt%. All the rocks are enriched in alkali elements and depleted in Ta relative to the LREE, typical of volcanic arc rocks,
but have higher MgO contents at a given SiO2, than typical orogenic medium-K andesites. Strontium-isotope ratios vary from 0.70292 to 0.70353. The compositional range
of Mount Drum lavas is best explained by a combination of diverse parental magmas, magma mixing, and fractionation. The small,
but significant, range in 87Sr/86Sr ratios in the basaltic andesites and the wide range of incompatible-element ratios exhibited by the basaltic andesites
and andesites suggests the presence of compositionally diverse parent magmas. The lavas show abundant petrographic evidence
of magma mixing, such as bimodal phenocryst size, resorbed phenocrysts, reaction rims, and disequilibrium mineral assemblages.
In addition, some dacites and andesites contain Mg and Ni-rich olivines and/or have high MgO, Cr, Ni, Co, and Sc contents
that are not in equilibrium with the host rock and indicate mixing between basalt or cumulate material and more evolved magmas.
Incompatible element variations suggest that fractionation is responsible for some of the compositional range between basaltic
andesite and dacite, but the rhyolites have K, Ba, Th, and Rb contents that are too low for the magmas to be generated by
fractionation of the intermediate rocks. Limited Sr-isotope data support the possibility that the rhyolites may be partial
melts of underlying volcanic rocks.

Fieldwork, radiometric (40Ar/39Ar and 14C) ages and whole-rock geochemistry allow a reconstruction of eruptive stages at the active, mainly dacitic, Pichincha Volcanic
Complex (PVC), whose eruptions have repeatedly threatened Quito, most recently from 1999 to 2001. After the emplacement of
basal lavas dated at ∼1100 to 900 ka, the eruptive activity of the old Rucu Pichincha volcano lasted from ∼850 ka to ∼150 ka
before present (BP) and resulted in a 15 × 20 km-wide edifice, which comprises three main building stages: (1) A lower stratocone
(Lower Rucu, ∼160 km3 in volume) developed from ∼850 to 600 ka; (2) This edifice was capped by a steeper-sided and less voluminous cone (the Upper
Rucu, 40–50 km3), the history of which started 450–430 ka ago and ended around 250 ka with a sector collapse; (3) A smaller (8–10 km3) but more explosive edifice grew in the avalanche amphitheatre and ended Rucu Pichincha's history about 150 ka ago. The Guagua
Pichincha volcano (GGP) was developed from 60 ka on the western flank of Rucu with four growth stages separated by major catastrophic
events. (1) From ∼60 to 47 ka, a basal effusive stratocone developed, terminating with a large ash-and-pumice flow event.
(2) This basal volcano was followed by a long-lasting dome building stage and related explosive episodes, the latter occurring
between 28–30 and 22–23 ka. These first two stages formed the main GGP (∼30 km3), a large part of which was removed by a major collapse 11 ka BP. (3) Sustained explosive activity and viscous lava extrusions
gave rise to a new edifice, Toaza (4–5 km3 in volume), which in turn collapsed around 4 ka BP. (4) The ensuing amphitheatre was partly filled by the ∼1-km3 Cristal dome, which is the historically active centre of the Pichincha complex. The average output rate for the whole PVC
is 0.29 km3/ka. Nevertheless, the chronostratigraphic resolution we obtained for Lower Rucu Pichincha and for the two main edifices of
Guagua Pichincha (main GGP and Toaza), leads to eruptive rates of 0.60–0.65 km3/ka during these construction stages. These output rates are compared to those of other mainly dacitic volcanoes from continental
arcs. Our study also supports an overall SiO2 and large-ion lithophile elements enrichment as the PVC develops. In particular, distinctive geochemical signatures indicate
the involvement of a new magma batch at the transition between Rucu and Guagua. At the GGP, the same phenomenon occurs at
each major collapse event marking the onset of the ensuing magmatic stage. Since the 11-ka-BP collapse event, this magmatic
behaviour has led to increasingly explosive activity. Four explosive cycles of between 100 and 200 years long have taken place
at the Cristal dome in the past 3.7 ka, and repose intervals between these cycles have tended to decrease with time. As a
consequence, we suggest that the 1999–2001 eruptive period may have initiated a new eruptive cycle that might pose a future
hazard to Quito (∼2 million inhabitants). 相似文献

Mafic enclaves in the rhyolitic products of Lipari historical eruptions; relationships with the coeval Vulcano magmas (Aeolian Islands, Italy) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The recent finding of mafic enclaves in the Rocche Rosse (RR) lava flow, the last magmatic product on Lipari (Aeolian Islands,
Italy) (AD 1230 ± 40), opens the possibility to investigate in detail the most recent magmatic system of the island, an important
issue for the volcanic hazard assessment of the area. The RR lava flow is an aphyric rhyolitic coulée consisting of grey and
black pumice and black and grey obsidian. Enclaves have ellipsoidal to spheroidal shape and vary from mm-sized in the central
portion of the flow, to cm-sized, at the top and in the flow front, where they are also more abundant. Enclaves are shoshonitic-latitic
(group A) and trachytic (group B) in composition. The mineralogy of group A consists of dominant clinopyroxene crystals with
minor abundance of feldspar (plagioclase > K-feldspar), olivine and biotite, while group B is composed of feldspar (K-feldspar > plagioclase)
with minor clinopyroxene, olivine and biotite. Geochemical modeling suggests that the host rhyolitic rocks could be the product
of AFC (Assimilation plus Fractional Crystallization) of a magma compositionally similar to the associated shoshonitic-latitic
enclaves, which, in turn, could be obtained, through an AFC process, from the primitive melts erupted as olivine hosted melt
inclusions during the last 15 ka at Vulcano. The already-known last 42 ka relationship between Lipari and Vulcano Islands
is here reinforced until historical time, especially for the last 1 ka. The geochemical and petrological overlap between Lipari
and Vulcano is interpreted to reflect the existence of a similar magmatic system underneath the two islands. The nearly aphyric
RR rhyolites are interpreted to be the products of a superheated (temperature far above the liquidus) and initially water-undersaturated
magma that underwent degassing close to the surface inhibiting microlite crystallization. 相似文献

Four 40Ar/39Ar dates on mineral separates from fresh and hydrothermally altered volcanic and plutonic rocks from the Ngatamariki geothermal field indicate that andesitic volcanism took place in the eastern portion of the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) prior to 1.2 Ma and probably considerably earlier. These data significantly extend the onset and duration of andesitic volcanism in the east-central TVZ over previous estimates. Intrusive activity is represented at Ngatamariki by a dioritic pluton, the only such pluton yet recognized in the entire TVZ. Hornblende from the pluton yields a crystallization age of near 550 ka. Hydrothermal alteration spatially associated with the pluton produced sericite of a similar age. Overlying and postdating the most intense hydrothermal alteration zone is the Whakamaru Ignimbrite (or its equivalent) which was emplaced at 330 ka. Two distinct geothermal systems may have been active at nearly the same site from 550 ka to present. The most intense activity occurred before 330 ka and was associated with emplacement of the Ngatamariki diorite. This was followed by the less intense system that is currently active. The geothermal regime at Ngatamariki has, therefore, probably been active intermittently for at least 550 ka. 相似文献

In this study, the spatial distributions of seismicity and seismic hazard were assessed for Turkey and its surrounding area.
For this purpose, earthquakes that occurred between 1964 and 2004 with magnitudes of M ≥ 4 were used in the region (30–42°N and 20–45°E). For the estimation of seismicity parameters and its mapping, Turkey and
surrounding area are divided into 1,275 circular subregions. The b-value from the Gutenberg–Richter frequency–magnitude distributions is calculated by the classic way and the new alternative
method both using the least-squares approach. The a-value in the Gutenberg–Richter frequency–magnitude distributions is taken as a constant value in the new alternative method.
The b-values calculated by the new method were mapped. These results obtained from both methods are compared. The b-value shows different distributions along Turkey for both techniques. The b-values map prepared with new technique presents a better consistency with regional tectonics, earthquake activities, and
epicenter distributions. Finally, the return period and occurrence hazard probability of M ≥ 6.5 earthquakes in 75 years were calculated by using the Poisson model for both techniques. The return period and occurrence
hazard probability maps determined from both techniques showed a better consistency with each other. Moreover, maps of the
occurrence hazard probability and return period showed better consistency with the b-parameter seismicity maps calculated from the new method. The occurrence hazard probability and return period of M ≥ 6.5 earthquakes were calculated as 90–99% and 5–10 years, respectively, from the Poisson model in the western part of the
studying region. 相似文献

Large volume (100–1000 km3), widespread rhyolitic ignimbrites are the main products of the Taupo volcanic zone (TVZ) of New Zealand, one of the most
active silicic volcanic regions on Earth. Several factors have made correlation and the eruptive history of the ignimbrites
difficult to resolve, including limited exposure and chronological data, broadly similar lithologies and the lack of stratigraphic
successions visible in the field. We have used the isothermal plateau fission track (ITPFT) method on glass shards from the
non-welded basal zones to obtain new eruption ages for the widespread units: Ongatiti (1.25±0.12 Ma), Whakamaru group (0.34±0.03 Ma),
Matahina (0.34±0.02 Ma), Chimp (0.33±0.02 Ma), Kaingaroa (0.31±0.01 Ma) and Mamaku (0.23±0.01 Ma) ignimbrites. These glasses
show little evidence of geochemical alteration and allow the units to be fingerprinted for correlation. The glass ages we
have obtained for the late Quaternary units provide an independent check on chronological data obtained from phenocryst phases.
The ITPFT method is a useful dating approach for sanidine-poor eruptives which limit the application of 40Ar/39Ar. Errors as limited as 10–30 ka can be obtained from the weighted mean of several age determinations. The thermoremanent
magnetic (TRM) direction recorded in the units provides a means of correlation over a wide area of the TVZ, because each ignimbrite
can be distinguished by its unique record of palaeosecular variation. These data indicate that the four separately mapped
members of the Whakamaru group represent the same phase of activity, occurring within a period of 100 years. The TRM data
indicate that the widespread Ahuroa ignimbrite erupted during an excursion in Earth's magnetic field, perhaps associated with
the Cobb Mountain subchron (ca. 1.2 Ma). The youngest widespread welded unit, Mamaku ignimbrite (ca. 0.23 Ma), also erupted
during an excursion and may represent a southern hemisphere record of the Pringle Falls geomagnetic episode found in the western
United States. The palaeomagnetic and ITPFT data for the widespread late Quaternary ignimbrites suggest a major period of
caldera formation at 0.34–0.30 Ma. This interval represents the eruption of multiple units from the Whakamaru caldera, followed
by the formation of the Okataina and Reporoa calderas in rapid succession.

Maar volcanoes represent a common volcano type which is produced by the explosive interaction of magma with external water.
Here, we provide information on a number of maars in the ultrapotassic Sabatini Volcanic District (SVD, Roman Province) as
young as ∼90 ka. The SVD maars are characterised in terms of crater and ejecta ring morphologies, eruptive successions and
magma compositions, in light of the local substrate settings, with the aim of assessing magma–water interaction conditions,
eruption energetics and genetic mechanisms. Feeder magmas spanned the whole SVD differentiation trend from trachybasalts–shoshonites
to phonolites. From the ejected lithic fragments from aquifer rocks, the range of depth of magma–water explosive interaction
is estimated to have been mostly at ∼400–600 m below ground level, with a single occurrence of surficial interaction in palustrine–lacustrine
environment. In particular, the interaction with external water may have triggered the explosive behaviour of poorly differentiated
magmas, whereas it may have acted only as a late controlling factor of the degree of fragmentation and eruption style for
the most differentiated magma batches during low-flux ascent in an incipiently fragmented state. Crater sizes, ejecta volumes
and ballistic data allow a reconstruction of the energy budget of SVD maar-forming eruptions. Erupted tephra volumes from
either monogenetic or polygenetic maars ranged 0.004–0.07 km3 during individual maar-forming eruptions, with corresponding total magma thermal energies of 8 × 1015–4 × 1017 J. Based on energy partitioning and volume balance of erupted magmas and lithic fractions vs. crater holes, we consider the
different contributions of explosive excavation of the substrate vs. subsidence in forming the SVD maar craters. Following
available models based on crater sizes, highly variable fractions (5–50%) of the magma thermal energies would have been required
for crater excavation. It appears that subsidence may have played a major role in some SVD maars characterised by low lithic
contents, whilst substrate excavation became increasingly significant with increasing degrees of aquifer fragmentation. 相似文献

Application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to volcano mapping in the humid tropics: a case study in East Java, Indonesia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Simon A. Carn 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1999,61(1-2):92-105
Volcanoes in humid tropical environments are frequently cloud covered, typically densely vegetated and rapidly eroded. These
factors complicate field and laboratory studies and even the basic identification of potentially active volcanoes. Numerous
previous studies have highlighted the potential value of radar remote sensing for volcanology in equatorial regions. Here,
cloud- and vegetation-penetrating LHH-band (λ≈24 cm) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS-1) are used to investigate
persistently active volcanoes and prehistoric calderas in East Java, Indonesia. The LHH-band JERS-1 SAR produces high-spatial-resolution (18 m) imagery with relatively high incidence angle that highlights structures
and topographic variations at or greater than the wavelength scale while minimising geometrical distortions such as layover
and foreshortening. These images, along with Internet browse data derived from the Canadian RADARSAT mission, provide new
evidence relating regional tectonics to volcanism throughout East Java. Volcanic events, such as caldera collapse at the Tengger
caldera, appear to have been partly controlled by northwest-aligned faults related to intra-arc sedimentary basins. Similar
regional controls appear important at historically active Lamongan volcano, which is encircled by numerous flank maars and
cinder cones. A previously undocumented pyroclastic sheet and debris avalanche deposit from the Jambangan caldera complex
is also manifested in the synoptic radar images. At the currently active Semeru volcano these data permit identification of
recent pyroclastic flow and lahar deposits. Radar data therefore offer a valuable tool for mapping and hazard assessment at
late Quaternary volcanoes. The criteria developed in the analysis here could be applied to other regions in the humid tropics.

The Bag Tephra, a widespread tephrochronological marker in Middle Europe: chemical and mineralogical investigations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Bag Tephra is a widespread tephra layer interbedded in Quaternary loess deposits along the Danubian valley of Hungary
and Slovakia. Its age is poorly defined between 788 and 380 ka B.P. The glass and mineral composition – micropumice clasts
of phono-tephrite and blocky shards of tephri-phonolite associated with two kinds of clinopyroxene, fassaitic diopside, and
salite – is very distinctive. This tephra could be used as a chronological marker, as soon as its age is refined. The probable
origin is the middle Italian volcanic area.

Age spectra from 40Ar/39Ar incremental heating experiments yield ages of 298 ± 25 ka and 310 ± 31 ka for transitional composition lavas from two cones
on submarine Mahukona Volcano, Hawaii. These ages are younger than the inferred end of the tholeiitic shield stage and indicate
that the volcano had entered the postshield alkalic stage before going extinct. Previously reported elevated helium isotopic
ratios of lavas from one of these cones were incorrectly interpreted to indicate eruption during a preshield alkalic stage.
Consequently, high helium isotopic ratios are a poor indicator of eruptive stage, as they occur in preshield, shield, and
postshield stage lavas. Loihi Seamount and Kilauea are the only known Hawaiian volcanoes where the volume of preshield alkalic
stage lavas can be estimated.

The ca. 10,500 years B.P. eruptions at Ruapehu volcano deposited 0.2–0.3 km3 of tephra on the flanks of Ruapehu and the surrounding ring plain and generated the only known pyroclastic flows from this
volcano in the late Quaternary. Evidence of the eruptions is recorded in the stratigraphy of the volcanic ring plain and cone,
where pyroclastic flow deposits and several lithologically similar tephra deposits are identified. These deposits are grouped
into the newly defined Taurewa Formation and two members, Okupata Member (tephra-fall deposits) and Pourahu Member (pyroclastic
flow deposits). These eruptions identify a brief (<ca. 2000-year) but explosive period of volcanism at Ruapehu, which we define
as the Taurewa Eruptive Episode. This Episode represents the largest event within Ruapehu's ca. 22,500-year eruptive history
and also marks its culmination in activity ca. 10,000 years B.P. Following this episode, Ruapehu volcano entered a ca. 8000-year
period of relative quiescence. We propose that the episode began with the eruption of small-volume pyroclastic flows triggered
by a magma-mingling event. Flows from this event travelled down valleys east and west of Ruapehu onto the upper volcanic ring
plain, where their distal remnants are preserved. The genesis of these deposits is inferred from the remanent magnetisation
of pumice and lithic clasts. We envisage contemporaneous eruption and emplacement of distal pumice-rich tephras and proximal
welded tuff deposits. The potential for generation of pyroclastic flows during plinian eruptions at Ruapehu has not been previously
considered in hazard assessments at this volcano. Recognition of these events in the volcanological record is thus an important
new factor in future risk assessments and mitigation of volcanic risk at Tongariro Volcanic Centre.

Mayor Island is a peralkaline rhyolitic caldera volcano characterised by numerous, sector-confined pyroclastic deposits, together with lavas forming at least five composite shields. Correlation of sequences between sectors is difficult because of the scarcity of island-wide marker beds. However, eight distal calc-alkaline fall tephras (ca. 7.3 14C ka to 64 ka) from Okataina and Taupo volcanic centres in the nearby Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) have been identified on the island. These “foreign” TVZ tephras provide marker planes to correlate activity in different sectors of Mayor Island volcano, and refine an eruptive chronology. At least seventeen pyroclastic eruptions and fourteen lava-producing events (including multiple, shield-forming events) have occurred in the past ca. 64 ka. Age controls provided by the calc-alkaline tephras confirm the extremely local dispersal characteristics of many of the Mayor Island eruptives and show that K/Ar ages as young as 25–33 ka on obsidians with 4.2–4.4% K2O are reliable. 相似文献

We analysed the tephra record of Mt. Ruapehu for the period 27,097 ± 957 to ~10,000 cal. years BP to determine the largest-scale
explosive eruptions expected from the most active New Zealand andesitic volcano. From the lithostratigraphic analysis, a systematic
change in the explosive behaviour is identified from older deposits suggesting dry magmatic eruptions and steady eruptive
columns, characterised by frothy to expanded pumice fabrics, to younger deposits that are products of unsteady conditions
and collapsing columns, characterised by microvesicular, fibrous, and colour-banded pumice fabrics. The end-members were separated
by eruptions with steady columns linked to water–magma interaction and highly unstable conduit walls. Dry magmatic eruptions
producing steady plinian columns were most common between 27,097 ± 957 and shortly after 13,635 + 165 cal. years BP. Following
this time, activity continued with eruptions that produced dominantly oscillating unsteady columns, which engendered pyroclastic
density currents, until ~10 ka when there was an abrupt transition at Mt. Ruapehu since which eruptions have been an order
of magnitude lower in intensity and volume. These data demonstrate long-period transitions in eruption behaviour at an andesitic
stratovolcano, which is critical to understand if realistic time-variable hazard forecasts are to be developed. 相似文献
