제주도 북동부 지역에서 만장굴 용암동굴을 형성한 용암은, 그 용암의 공급지가 거문오름 분석구로 추정되었지만, 그 공급지에 대한 자세한 연구가 없기 때문에 이에 대한 이견이 좁혀지지 않고 있다. 우리는 현생 화산지역에서 형성되고 있는 세계 도처의 용암동굴에 관한 연구결과를 토대로, 만장굴 용암동굴을 형성한 용암이 어디에서 공급되었는지를 유추해 보았다. 제주도 북동부 지역에서 암상, 형상과 고도를 바탕으로 용암류역도를 작성하고, 각 용암류역에 나타나는 용암동굴의 분포와 상호 연관성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 거문오름 용암동굴계는 거문오름 용암류역 내에서 주간동굴선, 복합동굴망과 단일동굴선으로 구분된다. 주간동굴선은 웃산전굴, 북오름굴, 대림동굴, 만장굴, 김녕굴, 용천동굴로 연결되며, 여기에 벵뒤굴 복합동굴망이 있고 김녕빌레못굴~게웃샘굴로 연결되는 단일동굴선이 있다. 또한 거문오름 분석구에서 북북동 방향으로 발달되는 약 2km 협곡은 기존 용암동굴의 붕괴도랑으로 해석되며 그 위치와 방향성에 의하면 거문오름 용암동굴계의 주판동굴선 상류 일부분임을 지시한다. 따라서 용암류역도, 용암동굴 분포, 붕괴도랑 방향성 등을 고려할 때, 만장굴 용암동굴을 형성한 용암류는 거문오름 분석구에서 공급된 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 화산 분화 시 분출되는 용암류의 피복 범위와 용암류의 두께를 모의하기 위한 용암류 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 구현한다. 지도 정보를 DEM과 같이 일정한 면적마다 관측된 값을 가진 '셀'로 나타내고 셀룰러 오토마타 모델을 적용한 용암류 모의 알고리즘을 수행하여 용암류의 흐름에 대해서 모의한다. 용암류의 정량적인 데이터를 얻기 위해 용암류의 유체 특성을 빙햄 소성유체(Bingham plastic fluid)로 정의하고, 유도된 식을 셀룰러 오토마타의 규칙에 사용한다. 프로그램에 대한 검증을 위해 USGS에서 제공하는 30m 해상도 DEM을 이용하였으며, Hawaii의 푸우오오 분화구(Pu'u'O'o crater) 지역에서 2016년 5월 24일에 발생한 용암류에 대해 실제로 용암류가 흐른 흔적과 시뮬레이션의 모의 결과를 비교하였다.

Lava caves could be useful as outposts for the human exploration of the Moon. Lava caves or lava tubes are formed when the external surface of the lava flows cools more quickly to make a hardened crust over subsurface lava flows. The lava flow eventually ceases and drains out of the tube, leaving an empty space. The frail part of the ceiling of lava tube could collapse to expose the entrance to the lava tubes which is called a pit crater. Several pit craters with the diameter of around 100 meters have been found by analyzing the data of SELENE and LRO lunar missions. It is hard to use these pit craters for outposts since these are too large in scale. In this study, small scale pit craters which are fit for outposts have been investigated using the NAC image data of LROC. Several topographic patterns which are believed to be lunar caves have been found and the similar pit craters of the Earth were compared and analyzed to identify caves. For this analysis, the image data of satellites and aerial photographs are collected and classified to construct a database. Several pit craters analogous to lunar pit craters were derived and a morphological pit crater model was generated using the 3D printer based on this database.

Jeju Island is formed by lava flow streams with the Mt. Halla in the center. The Mt. Halla‘s crater or other parasitic volcano produced lava flows creating lava plateau in this area. There are one thousand volcano caves in the world, and 50% of them are located in the west coast of United States. There are 186 volcano caves in Italy, 100 in Mt. Fuji, Japan, and 70 in Jeju Island. Jeju Island‘s east-west axis four sides are world-renown volcano zones with basalt strata that feature low viscosity and fluidity.

In the summers of 1997 and 1998 and in February of 2000 we made 570 measurements of the ambient geomagnetic field 120 cm above the pavement surface of State Route 130, south of Pahoa, the island of Hawaii using a three-component fluxgate magnetometer. We measured at every 15.2 m (50 feet) interval covering a distance of 6, 310 m (20, 704 ft) where both historic and pre-historic highly magnetic basalt flows underlie. We also collected 197 core samples from eight road cuts, 489 specimens of which were subject to AF demagnetizations at 5 - 10 mT level up to a maximum field of 60 mT. We observed significant inclination anomalies ranging from a minimum of $31^{\circ}$ to a maximum $40^{\circ}$ where a uniform inclination value of $36.7^{\circ}$ (International Geomagnetic Reference Field, IGRF) was expected. Since the mean of the observed inclinations is approximately $35^{\circ}$ we assume that the study area is slightly affected by the magnetic terrain effect to a systematically shallower inclinations for being located in the regionally sloping surface of the southern side of the island (Baag, et al., 1995). We observed inclination anomalies showing wider (spacial) wavelength (160 - 600 m) and higher amplitudes in the historic lava flows area than in the northern pre-historic flows. Our observations imply that preexisting inclination anomalies such as those that we observed would have been interpreted as paleosecular variation (PSV). These inclination anomalies can best be attributed to concealed underground highly magnetic dikes, channel type lava flows, on-and-off hydrothermal activities through fissure-like openings, etc. Both the within- and between-site dispersions of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) are largest (up to ${\pm}7^{\circ}$) above the flows of 1955, while the area of pre-historic flows in the northern part of the study area exhibit the smallest dispersion. Nevertheless, mean inclinations of each historic flow of 1955 and 1790 are almost identical to that of the corresponding present field, whereas mean of NRM (after AF demagnetization) inclinations for each of the four pre-historic lava flow units is twelve to thirteen degrees lower than the present field inclination. We observed three cases of very large inclination variations from within a single flow, the best fitting curves of which are linear, second and third order polynomials each from within a single flow, whereas no present field variations are observed. This phenomena can be attributed to the notion that local magnetic anomalies on the surface of an active volcano are not permanent, but are transient. Therefore we believe that local magnetic anomalies of an active volcano may be constantly modified due to on going subsurface injections and circulations of hot material and also due to wide spacial and temporal distribution of highly magnetic basaltic flows that will constantly modify the topography which will in turn modify the local ambient geomagnetic field (Baag, et al., 1995). Our observations bring into question the general reliability of PSV data inferred from volcanic rocks, because on-going various geologic and geophysical activities associated with active volcano would continuously deflect and modify the ambient geomagnetic field.

본 연구에서는 경상북도 청송 주왕산지역 대전사 현무암의 산출 상태 및 분포 양상을 검토하고, 암석기재적 특성을 알아보았다. 야외 조사 결과, 주왕산 화산암체의 최하부층에 해당하는 대전사 현무암층은 전체적으로 12매의 용암과 9매의 페페라이트가 교호하며, 각 용암과 페페라이트의 암층의 두께는 다양하다. 본 층에서 나타나는 페페라이트는 현무암과 세일이 혼합되어 있으며, 현무암은 쇄설의 형태로 나타나고 세일은 현무암의 기질을 메우는 간극상을 이룬다. 이는 용암이 분출하여 고화되지 않은 젖은 세일층 위를 흐르거나, 관입으로 인해서 용암과 퇴적물 사이의 접촉부에서 생성된 것으로 사료되며, 이들 페페라이트는 조직상으로 구상 페페라이트로 분류할 수 있다. 현무암류는 육안으로 반정이 관찰되지 않으며 기공이 없는 치밀한 현무암이지만, 한 단위의 용암층 내에서 상부에는 다공질의 현무암이 발견되기도 한다. 경하에서의 현무암류는 주된 반정 광물로 가상의 감람석을 가지며, Mg#이 높은 암석에서는 사장석과 단사휘석의 반정도 보인다. 석기는 주로 서브오피틱 조직을 보이지만, 국지적인 냉각률의 차이로 인한 오피틱 조직과 인터그래뉼라 조직도 관찰된다. 사장석은 대부분 라브라도라이트(An$_{55.0}{\sim}_{67.7}$)이며, 일부 안데신(An$_{44.3}$)과 바이토우나이트(An$_{74.5}$)로 분류된다. 단사휘석의 평균 조성은 Wo$_{41.6}$En$_{45.1}$Fs$_{13.3}$으로써 보통휘석에 해당한다. 불투명 광물은 티탄자철석과 티탄철석으로 구성되어 있다.

Cave on the Moon is considered as the most appropriate place for human to live during the frontier lunar exploration. While the lava flows, the outer crust gets cooled and solidified. Then, the empty space is remained inside after lava flow stops. Such empty space is called the lava caves. Those lava tubes on the Earth are formed mostly by volcanic activity. However, the lava tubes on satellite like Moon and planet like Mars without volcanic activity are mostly formed by the lava flow inside of the crater made by large meteorite impact. Some part of lava tube with collapsed ceiling appears as the entrance of the cave. Such area looks like a deep crater so called a pit crater. Four large pit craters with diameter of > 60 m and depth of > 40 m are found without difficulty from Kaguya and LRO mission image archives. However, those are too deep to use as easily accessible human frontier base. Therefore, now we are going to identify some smaller lunar caves with accessible entrances using LRO camera images of 0.5 m/pixel resolution. Earth's lava caves and their entrances are well photographed by surface and aerial camera in immense volume. Thus, if the image data are sorted and archived well, those images can be used in comparison with the less distinct lunar cave and entrance images due to its smaller size. Then, we can identify the regions on the Moon where there exist caves with accessible entrances. The database will be also useful in modeling geomorphology for lunar and Martian caves for future artificial intelligence investigation of the caves in any size.

Baikdu-san was a very active volcano during the Cenozoic era and is believed to be formed in late Cenozoic era. Recently it was also reported that there was a major eruption in or around 1002 A.D. and there are evidences which indicate that it is still an active volcano and a potential volcanic hazard. Remote sensing techniques have been widely used to monitor various natural hazards, including volcanic hazards. However, during an active volcanic eruption, volcanic ash can basically cover the sky and often blocks the solar radiation preventing any use of optical sensors. Synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an ideal tool to monitor the volcanic activities and lava flows, because the wavelength of the microwave signal is considerably longer that the average volcanic ash particle size. In this study we have utilized several sets of SAR data to evaluate the utility of the space-borne SAR system. The data sets include JERS-1(L-band) SAR, and RADARSAT(C-band) data which included both standard mode and the ScanSAR mode data sets. We also utilized several sets of auxiliary data such as local geological maps and JERS-1 OPS data. The routine preprocessing and image processing steps were applied to these data sets before any attempts of classifying and mapping surface geological features. Although we computed sigma nought ($\sigma$$^{0}$) values far the standard mode RADARSAT data, the utility of sigma nought image was minimal in this study. Application of various types of classification algorithms to identify and map several stages of volcanic flows was not very successful. Although this research is still in progress, the following preliminary conclusions could be made: (1) sigma nought (RADARSAT standard mode data) and DN (JERS-1 SAR and RADARSAT ScanSAR data) have limited usefulness for distinguishing early basalt lava flows from late trachyte flows or later trachyte flows from the old basement granitic rocks around Baikdu-san volcano, (2) surface geological structure features such as several faults and volcanic lava flow channels can easily be identified and mapped, and (3) routine application of unsupervised classification methods cannot be used for mapping any types of surface lava flow patterns.

In September 1996 I spent 8 days in Kamchatka Oblast of Silberia, speaking at the institute of Volcanic Geology and Geochemistry in Petropavlovsk and participating ina field excursion to the 1740 and 1975 lava beds of Tolbachik volcano. By international standards, the caves of these flows are small. But recently it has appeared that variations in chemistry and gas content of pahoehoe basalts makes profound variations in their lava tube caves. Thus it is important to look at as many speleoliferous regions as possible. This trend continued at Tolbachik.(omitted)
