- Abstract Caldera-forming eruptions of silicic volcanic systems are among the most devastating events on Earth. By contrast, post-collapse volcanic activity initiating new caldera cycles is generally considered less hazardous. Formed after Santorini’s latest caldera-forming eruption of ~1600 bce, the Kameni Volcano in the southern Aegean Sea enables the eruptive evolution of a recharging multi-cyclic caldera to be reconstructed. Kameni’s eruptive record has been documented by onshore products and historical descriptions of mainly effusive eruptions dating back to 197 bce. Here we combine high-resolution seismic reflection data with cored lithologies from International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 398 at four sites to determine the submarine architecture and volcanic history of intra-caldera deposits from Kameni. Our shore-crossing analysis reveals the deposits of a submarine explosive eruption that produced up to 3.1 km3 of pumice and ash, which we relate to a historical eruption in 726 ce. The estimated volcanic explosivity index of magnitude 5 exceeds previously considered worst-case eruptive scenarios for Santorini. Our finding that the Santorini caldera is capable of producing large explosive eruptions at an early stage in the caldera cycle implies an elevated hazard potential for the eastern Mediterranean region, and potentially for other recharging silicic calderas.Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Mar. 2024, Nature Geoscience, 17(4) (4), 323 - 331, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Abstract The Osaka Bay is situated at a seismically active region north of the Median Tectonic Line and east of Awaji Island in western Japan, known as part of the Kinki Triangle and the Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone. Dense distribution of active faults and high geodetic strain rates characterize the region, posing a major seismic hazard potential to the coastal and metropolitan areas of the Kansai region. To investigate the shallow structure and recent deformation history of active faults in the Osaka Bay, we acquired 15 high-resolution seismic profiles using a Mini-GI airgun and a Boomer as active sources, together with multi-beam bathymetry data across the Osaka Bay Fault. Our seismic sections image a ~ 0.1 to 3.7 km-wide asymmetric anticline forelimb above the Osaka Bay Fault at shallow depths, coupled with a ~ 2.6 km-wide syncline to the west, and a broad, ~ 11 km-wide syncline in the footwall to the east. The synclinal axial surface at shallow depths measured in this study ranges 75°–89°. We observe the vertical displacement of the Osaka Bay Fault increasing northwards along strike. The sediment thickness on the hanging wall, however, is variable, modified by non-tectonic processes such as by tidal currents, affecting the geometry of growth strata. The most recent deformation by the Osaka Bay Fault reaches to near the seafloor by active folding, with large vertical offsets of 8–14 m over the last ~ 11 ka, and 5–11 m over the last ~ 5 ka. By combining with previously reported borehole age data, the average uplift rate on the Osaka Bay Fault is estimated to be ~ 1.0 to 1.7 m/ka during the Latest Pleistocene to Holocene. The inferred slip of the Osaka Bay Fault during the Holocene is likely to account for > 5% of the regional geodetic strain accumulation within the Kinki Triangle. Further studies to evaluate the Holocene slip rates of regional faults are necessary to assess the seismic hazards and the internal strain budgets within the Kinki Triangle and the Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone.

- Abstract Large explosive volcanic eruptions from island arcs pour pyroclastic currents into marine basins, impacting ecosystems and generating tsunamis that threaten coastal communities and infrastructures. Risk assessments require robust records of such highly hazardous events, which is challenging as most of the products lie buried under the sea. Here we report the discovery by IODP Expedition 398 of a giant rhyolitic pumice deposit emplaced 520 ± 10 ky ago at water depths of 200 to 1000 m during a high-intensity, shallow submarine eruption of ancestral Santorini Volcano. Pyroclastic currents discharged into the sea transformed into turbidity currents and slurries, forming a >89 ± 8 km3 volcaniclastic megaturbidite up to 150 m thick in the surrounding marine basins, while breaching of the sea surface by the eruption column laid down veneers of ignimbrite on three islands. The eruption is one of the largest recorded on the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, and highlights the hazards from submarine explosive eruptions.Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Jan. 2024, Communications Earth & Environment, 5(1) (1), English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Abstract The temperature of maximum pyrolysis yield (known as Tmax) can be used to determine the level of thermal alteration in sedimentary organic matter; higher Tmax values represent higher thermal alteration. Tmax is commonly measured on petroleum source rocks or similar sediments with high organic carbon contents. It would be desirable to measure the Tmax of volcanic sediments because they can have complex patterns of thermal alteration. However, volcanic sediments often have low total organic carbon contents and consequently are susceptible to analytical interferences. Despite this, it can be shown that meaningful Tmax measurements can still be made in sediment with organic carbon contents as low as 0.2% and that interference caused by bitumen or ionizable salts can be mitigated by solvent extraction and rinsing with water. Thus, it is reasonable to use temperature programmed pyrolysis to assess levels of thermal alteration in even low total organic carbon volcanoclastic sediments.Cambridge University Press (CUP), Feb. 2023, Experimental Results, 4, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Microorganisms in marine subsurface sediments substantially contribute to global biomass. Sediments warmer than 40°C account for roughly half the marine sediment volume, but the processes mediated by microbial populations in these hard-to-access environments are poorly understood. We investigated microbial life in up to 1.2-kilometer-deep and up to 120°C hot sediments in the Nankai Trough subduction zone. Above 45°C, concentrations of vegetative cells drop two orders of magnitude and endospores become more than 6000 times more abundant than vegetative cells. Methane is biologically produced and oxidized until sediments reach 80° to 85°C. In 100° to 120°C sediments, isotopic evidence and increased cell concentrations demonstrate the activity of acetate-degrading hyperthermophiles. Above 45°C, populated zones alternate with zones up to 192 meters thick where microbes were undetectable.American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Dec. 2020, Science, 370(6521) (6521), 1230 - 1234Scientific journal

Abstract The National Gas Hydrate Program Expedition 02 was conducted in early 2015 using the Drilling VesselChikyu in the western part of the Bay of Bengal, India. During drilling off Vishakhapatnam, NE India, some bottom-simulating reflectors were penetrated, and numerous mass-transport deposits (MTDs) were identified. The recovered cores were composed of post-late Miocene muddy slope deposits containing the late Miocene–Pliocene hiatus that is widespread in that region. Based on detailed visual core descriptions and calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, two major MTD-rich intervals were identified: the Pleistocene interval above the hiatus, and the middle–late Miocene interval below it. Although the MTDs in both intervals are composed of variously coloured clay–silt blocks in an olive-black or olive-grey silty clay matrix (muddy MTDs), the Pleistocene MTDs consist of larger-sized blocks (mostly less than a few metres but with some >10 m) without clear shear fabrics, whereas the Miocene MTDs contain smaller blocks (<0.1 m) with asymmetrical shear fabrics. The muddy blocks are composed of older components (Pliocene–Cretaceous) compared with the depositional ages of the MTDs. The high abundance of MTDs above the hiatus and the depositional ages of the interbedded coherent layers indicate that large-scale MTDs occurred repeatedly during the Pleistocene. Such repeated MTDs contributed to maintaining the high sedimentation rate in this area and potentially provided stable pressure and temperature conditions for the formation of gas hydrates.[Refereed]Scientific journal - 2018, Soils and Foundations, 58(6) (6), 1350 - 1357, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Initiation of décollement zone in incoming sediments is crucial important to understand the mechanism of plate boundary faulting subduction zones and consequently it may help to clarify the formation mechanism of seismogenic zone. The basic mechanism of the décollement zone, e.g., the macro-micro behaviors during the initiation and the evolution of the plate boundary, however, remain poorly understood. In this paper, the influence of shear deformation happened in the process of oceanic plate subduction beneath continental plate, and the dynamic force-propagation due to earthquake on the formation of the décollement zone are investigated by means of specific numerical tests. Particular attention is paid to the change of volumetric strain of the geomaterials in the proto-décollement zone. Significant compressive volumetric strain was identified when the material has subjected to periodic earthquake loadings during 1000 years with a re-occurring period of every 200 years. Amazingly, in spite of the fact that more than 5% of the volumetric strain, the structure of the material within the proto-décollement zone remains undisturbed, which is quite similar to the micro-structural characteristics of décollement zone (high density and random fabric). In other words, the repeated dynamic load due to earthquake is apparently the main mechanism to form the décollement zone.The Japanese Geotechnical Society, 2016, Japanese Geotechnical Journal, 11(4) (4), 353 - 363, Japanese[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Initiation of d?collement zone in incoming sediments is crucial important to understand the mechanism of plate boundary faulting in subduction zones and consequently it may help to clarify the nature of seismogenic zone. However, the basic mechanism and dynamics during the initiation and the evolution of the plate boundary d?collement zone remain poorly understood. It is therefore assumed that cyclic loading both in isotropic and deviatory stress due to stress wave propagation, especially P-wave during an earthquake, might cause a dramatic change in fabric and physical properties of sediments. In this paper, semi-lithified trench-slope siltstone from the Boso Peninsula and Fujinomori clay are tested with static and dynamic load under high confining pressure. Meanwhile, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) is also measured to check the changes in the internal textures of the specimen after these tests. As the results, no major fabric variation was confirmed based on AMS, in spite of substantial residual deformation occurred due to cyclic loading. These results are exactly the same as the mechanical properties of d?collement zone in which the internal texture remained unchanged but the density increased significantly.The Japanese Geotechnical Society, 2016, Japanese Geotechnical Journal, 11(4) (4), 341 - 351, Japanese[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The 2011 off the Pacfic coast of Tohoku Earthquake caused an unprecedented and widespread soil liquefaction event especially in the southern part of the Kanto district. An improved understanding of the complex liquefaction processes involved and especially identification of the liquefaction layer, is needed to understand and mitigate against such events. We report here for the first time the application of X-ray computerized tomography (CT) scanning to core samples of the soft and water-saturated near-surface formations subjected to liquefaction. Our results clearly show images of the different sedimentary units and their internal structure, including ripple laminations and load casts. One unit was identified where the original sedimentary structures have been completely obliterated, which we interpret to be the zone of liquefaction. Our results show that X-ray CT scanning is a potentially useful tool for soil liquefaction research in the fields of geology and engineering.The Geological Society of Japan, 2012, Jour. Geol. Soc.

- To visualize the microstructure in rocks, micro focus X ray CT images that can get three-dimensional data simultaneously with high resolution of 10 micron have been introduced. We obtained multi planar reconstruction images in intact Berea sandstone and Shirahama sandstone. In the intact rocks, pore structures and grain boundaries are distinguished well. Furthermore, existence of the crushed grains arrangements and fracture band is confirmed definitely in the compressed Berea sandstone under confining pressure of 12 MPa. Micro focus X ray CT is rather effective in visualizing the microstructures in rocks.Japan Society of Engineering Geology, 2002, Journal of the Japan Society of Engineering Geology, 43(4) (4), 235 - 238, Japanese[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Kikai submarine caldera caused several catastrophic eruptions. In order to understand the eruption processes and magmatic evolution, we measured chemical composition of tephra collected via the SCORE program with D/V Chikyu. We used submarine tephra from the K-Ah eruption (7300 years ago), that from the K-Tz eruption (95000 years ago), and that intercalated between the two catastrophic eruptions, the age of which is approximately 40000 years ago or younger. The tephra from the K-Tz eruption is predominated by felsic pyroclasts, but the presence of a few mafic pyroclasts suggests the contribution of mafic melts during the K-Tz eruption. The tephra intercalated between the two catastrophic eruptions have chemical composition similar to those of K-Ah, implying that the storage of felsic magmas commenced at least 40000 years ago toward the next catastrophic eruption of K-Ah.GEOCHEMICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 2022, Abstracts of Annual Meeting of the Geochemical Society of Japan, 69, 96, Japanese
- Kikai Caldera volcano has repeatedly erupted in large scale eruptions such as the Kikai Akahoya eruption 7,300 years ago and the Kikai Tozurahara eruption 95,000 years ago, and detailed eruption history can be studied by combining seafloor and on-land surveys.In this study, core samples were collected by the SCORE program of CHIKYU based on the subsurface structure revealed by seismic reflection surveys of large eruptive ejecta on the seafloor, which are still largely unknown.The chemical composition of the volcanic glass was analyzed and compared with subaerial deposits, and it was found that the two large-scale eruptive ejecta are thickly deposited on the seafloor as well, and that the Kikai Akahoya product is divided into two units on the seafloor as well.In addition, the chemical compositional characteristics of volcanic glass in piston core samples from a wide area around the Kikai caldera suggest that the Kikai Akahoya product may have become less accessible to distant sites as the eruption progressed.GEOCHEMICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 2022, Abstracts of Annual Meeting of the Geochemical Society of Japan, 69, 95, Japanese

- EGU, Feb. 2023, English, Copernicus GmbH, <p>Temperature is one of the important parameters to understand complex dynamics, because temperature of the crust is changed by some events such as volcanic activities and a passage of high temperature fluid, which affects physical property, chemical cycle and also microbiosphere. Therefore, information about temperature allow us to understand the dynamics of the active subduction zone.</p><p>IODP Site C0023, located at the tip of subduction zone in the Muroto transect of the Nankai Trough, was drilled by IODP Expedition 370. There, we measured the vitrinite reflectance which is an index of the maximum temperature experienced by the sediments. Comparing the measured reflectance and the model values calculated by assuming the past heat flow, it was found that Site C0023 experienced a higher heat flow than the present, which was approximately 160 mW/m<sup>2</sup>. However, the vitrinite reflectance is significantly higher than that in the above model just below the d&#233;collement, which suggested that another thermal anomaly originated directly under the d&#233;collement in addition to the high heat flow from the basement. With assumptions on the temperature of the heat source and the duration of heating below the d&#233;collement, we calculated the vitrinite reflectance in different models.</p><p>As a result, it was found that heat source temperature of 200&#730;C and heat generation duration of 500-1000 years are required just below the d&#233;collement to explain the depth distribution of the measured values. At Site C0023, a high pore pressure zone is distributed just below the d&#233;collement, which can serve as a path for fluids from deeper part. Considering that the temperature at the depth corresponding to the seismogenic zone in the Muroto area of the Nankai Trough is approximately 200&#730;C, and that a specific high temperature has not been confirmed just below the d&#233;collement of C0023 at present, the origin of the high-temperature fluid would be the deep seismogenic zone. Furthermore, the advection of high-temperature fluids is thought to be intermittent. In other words, the high reflectance just below the d&#233;collement is considered to indicate the advection of the high-temperature fluid from deep to shallow areas at the time of past earthquakes.</p>High temperature fluid flow through active décollement at the Nankai subduction zone

- Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of Japan, 2021, Japanese, The Geological Society of Japan, Pore pressure plays a key role in the generation of earthquakes in subduction zones. However, quantitative constraints for its determination are quite limited. Here, we estimate the subsurface pore pressure by analyzing the transient upwelling flow of drilling mud from borehole C0023A of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 370, in the Nankai Trough off Cape Muroto. This upward flow provided the first direct evidence of an overpressured aquifer in the underthrust sediments off Cape Muroto (Figure). To estimate the pre-drilling pore pressure in the overpressured aquifer around a depth of 950–1050 meters below sea floor, we examined the measured porosities of core samples retrieved from nearby IODP wells; we then proceeded to explain the observed time evolution of the flow rate of the upwelling flow by modeling various sized aquifers through solving a radial diffusion equation. It was observed that for a permeability of 10–13 m2, the aquifer possessed an initial excess pore pressure of ~5 to 10 MPa above the hydrostatic pressure, with a lateral dimension of several hundred meters and thickness of several tens of meters. The overpressure estimates from the porosity-depth profile at Site C0023 differ from those at other drill sites in the region, suggesting the possible existence of multiple overpressured aquifers with a patchy distribution in the underthrust sediments of the Nankai Trough. As pore pressure is relevant in maintaining fault stability, the overpressured aquifers may be the source of slow earthquakes that have been observed around the drilling site.High Fluid-Pressure Patches beneath the plate boundary fault: A Potential Source of Slow Earthquakes in the Nankai Trough off Cape Muroto

We developed an analysis method using a parametric model for data of pressure gauges. We conducted analyses on seismic structure of off the Boso area and simulation studies that reproduce a series of the Boso SSEs. We obtained a configuration of the upper surface of the Philippine Sea plate at off the Boso area. We found strong reflections from the upper surface around the Boso SSE region. We could make a simulation model which reproduced the Boso SSEs before 2011, but could not reproduce the 2014 SSE. To make a simulation model reproducing all of the Boso SSEs is an issue to be addressed to the future.

Meanwhile, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and SEM are also measured to check the changes of micro-structure of the tested specimen. It is found that no major fabric variation happened though deformation occurred due to cyclic loadings, which is exactly the same as the characteristics of décollement. Furthermore, the process of the oceanic plate subducting beneath into continental plate and the dynamic loading of earthquake are simulated by numerical tests to investigate their influence on décollement. It is found that, the simulated results are similar to the observed micro-structural characteristics of décollement. In other words, the repeated dynamic loading due to earthquake is apparently the main mechanism to form the décollement zone.

We found that in-situ horizontal stress in the vicinity of the Tohoku-Oki earthquake fault decreased during the earthquake distinctly. The stress change suggests an active slip of the frontal plate-interface consistent with coseismic fault weakening and a nearly total stress drop.Competitive research funding

Such strain hardening associated with the clay mineral transition and decrease in porosity is the primary mechanism of thickening of the decollement and/or melange zone, and represents a fundamental mechanical/chemical change in the properties of sediments immediately before entering the seismogenic zone.Competitive research funding
