Granitic rocks could be good recorders of deep-time geomagnetic field behavior, but paleomagnetic measurements on whole-rock granitic samples are often disturbed by the presence of unstable multi-domain magnetite. Kato et al. (2018) demonstrated that single plagioclase crystals separated from granitic rocks can be reliable recorders of the geomagnetic paleointensity by a series of rock-magnetic measurements and Tsunakawa-Shaw paleointensity experiments on plagioclase crystals of the middle Cretaceous Iritono granite, for which… Read more

Photographs are not what you see. When I (TH) was a student back in 1990s, I was always frustrated with the volcano pictures that I photographed because they somehow did not look like what I thought I really saw. It was often due to white smoke in front. So I used to prefer hand-sketching in which I can build a complete compilation of my observation for several minutes as a… Read more

Though "low-temperature pyroclastic flow" is frequently observed with phreatic eruptions, there are few descriptions of its internal environment. The low-temperature pyroclastic flow of the 2015 eruption of Kuchinoerabujima volcano, southwestern Japan, provides geophysical data, video image, and geological descriptions of the deposits. The video image indicates that the velocity of flow exceeded 42 m/s. The dieback of the vegetation and deformation of some plastic materials in the flow, with absence… Read more

The year 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of EPS. Having a long history of 70 years owing to its predecessor journals, JGG and JPE, EPS is one of the oldest international journals in the field of earth and planetary sciences. When established in 1998, its former editor-in-chief Dr. Yoshimori Honkura said in the prefatory note of the journal, ... EPS should become widely circulated as one of the leading international… Read more

Lateral variation of the uppermost oceanic plate in the outer-rise region of the Northwest Pacific Ocean
It has been known that Po waveforms are complicated due to high-frequency scattering within the mantle, but Tonegawa et al. (2018) attempted to retrieve Po-to-s (Pos) waves converted at crust-related interfaces by cross-correlating Po wave coda from the radial and vertical components. As a result, their results successfully showed the retrieval of Pos waves from the basement and oceanic Moho, and also demonstrated the effectiveness of this new approach by revealing lateral variations of Pos-wave emergence and layer-dependent shear wave anisotropy from the outer-rise to seaward regions.

Understanding and forecasting phreatic eruptions driven by magmatic degassing
Stix and de Moor (2018) compiled recent studies of phreatic eruptions and proposed two endmembers for phreatic systems. Type 1 systems are characterized by a sealed hydrothermal system. Injection of magmatic fluids causes pressurization of the hydrothermal system and eventual rupture of the seal, generating ballistics and fine ash. For a Type 2 system, input of magmatic fluids into a near-surface hydrothermal system vaporizes liquid water, promoting eruptions which emit… Read more

Salt shell fallout during the ash eruption at the Nakadake crater, Aso volcano, Japan: evidence of an underground hydrothermal system surrounding the erupting vent
Interaction of magmatic-hydrothermal systems often controls styles and evolution of volcanic activities. Shinohara et al. (2018) revealed continuous existence of a hydrothermal system beneath the crater floor even during magmatic eruptions based on observations of a variety of salt fallouts at Aso volcano, Nakadake crater. Fragile hollow structure of salt fallouts observed during magmatic ash eruption in 2015 indicates their formation by the heating of hydrothermal solution droplets suspended by… Read more
