Abstract

In this study, the variations of geoid measured by GRACE satellite are investigated in the 20 volcanic areas erupted since 2005, and it is recognized that a detailed geological study is necessary in using geoid data for a research of the magmatic activities under the volcano. Therefore, the relationship between the regional geoid variation obtained by GRACE satellite and the change of magma activity, is studied in Japan's Shinmoedake volcano in the Kirishima volcanic complex whose eruption in 2011 was studied in detail geologically. Throughout this study the increase of geoid from 2002 in the Shinmoedake volcanic area is confirmed to be caused by the increase of gravity under the volcano, which is well matched with geological interpretation of the continuous intrusion of basaltic magma into magma chamber during several years before the 2011 eruption. The result indicates that information of the geoid variation measured by GRACE satellite is useful for monitoring the possibility of volcanic eruption although there is a need to more study to be able to confirm the possibility.

본 연구에서는 2005년 이후 화산 폭발을 경험한 20개의 화산 지역에 대해 그레이스 위성에 의해 측정된 지오이드 변화를 조사하였고 지오이드를 이용한 화산 하부의 마그마 활동에 대한 연구를 위해서는 자세한 지질학적 조사가 함께 수반되어야 함을 인지하였다. 따라서 2011년에 화산 폭발이 있었고 그에 대한 지질학적 연구가 자세히 수행된 키리시마 화산복합체 내 신모에다케 화산 지역을 대상으로 그레이스 인공위성을 이용하여 측정된 화산지역의 광역적인 지오이드 변화와 화산하부 마그마 활동 변화 간의 상관성에 대해 연구하였다. 그 결과 신모에다케 화산 지역에서 2002년 이후 계속적으로 증가하는 지오이드 변화는 화산하부 물질의 중력이 증가함에 의해 발생하였음을 확인하였고, 이는 기존 연구에서 밝혀진 2011년 화산 폭발 수년 전부터 염기성 마그마가 마그마 저장소로 계속 공급되었다는 사실과 잘 일치한다. 이는 앞으로 많은 연구가 필요하기는 하지만 그레이스 인공위성으로 측정된 지오이드의 변화가 화산 폭발 감시 및 예측에 사용될 수 있는 가능성이 높음을 지시한다.
