According to the analysis of volcanic observation data around Korean peninsula, the activities of volcano increase continuously. For example, the volcanic eruption of Mt. Sakurajima is an example, and Mt. Baekdu can be another example potentially. In these regards, developing unified system including realtime prediction and 3D visualization of volcano ash are important to prepare the volcanic disaster systematically. In this technical report, an interactive simulator embedding dispersion algorithm and 3D visualization engine is developed. This system can contribute to the realtime prediction of volcanic disaster scientifically.

Korea contract Mn-nodule field in the NE equatorial Pacific is composed of seven sectors with average water depths of 4,513-5,025 m. Of the various factors controlling the properties of Mn-nodule, it seems that water depth is likely connected to the chemical composition and occurrence of nodules. To test whether such an assumption held in each sector, we reviewed previous research data accumulated since 1994 for one of the northern sectors (hereafter KR1) where there are stark contrasts in water depth. High-resolution seabed mapping clearly separates a northern part (KR1N) from a deeper southern part (KR1S), cutting across in the middle of the KR1. In addition, significant volcanic activities forming numerous seamounts are distinctive especially in KR1N. In terms of nodule occurrence, manganese nodules in KR1S are comparatively larger (2-4 cm) with a discoidal shape, while those in KR1N are generally small (<2 cm) with poly-lobate and irregular shapes. Nodules in KR1N also have lower Co, Cu, Mn and Ni, and higher Fe contents. The spatial separation in nodule characteristics might be caused by volcanic activities in KR1N rather than water depth contrast. During the formation of the seamounts in KR1N, rock fragments and volcanic ashes as new nuclei of the nodules would have been continuously generated. As a result, the nodules could not grow larger than 2 cm and display the shapes of a newbie (i.e., irregular and poly-lobate shapes). Moreover, significant Fe supply from volcanic activities probably decreases the Mn/Fe ratio, which may lead to the KR1 nodules being misinterpreted as a hydrogenic in origin compared to other sectors where a high Mn/Fe ratio is present.

백악기 유천층군은 후기 백악기 화산암 및 퇴적암으로 구성되며, 경상화산호의 화산활동에 의해 형성되었다. 유천층군 전반에 대한 정밀한 야외조사의 부재는 유천층군의 형성시기와 화산호의 시·공간적 발달양상에 대한 이해의 부재로 귀결되었다. 이번 연구에서는 현풍-부곡 지역에 나타나는 하양층군 최상부인 진동층과 유천층군 최하부의 경계에 대한 지질도를 작성하고 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대를 통해 유천층군 형성시기를 규명하였다. 연구지역의 유천층군은 진동층을 정합으로 피복하고 있는 응회암 및 화산력응회암으로 구성되며, 폭발적인 화산분출에 의한 화쇄밀도류에 의해 퇴적되었다. 이들 응회암의 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대는 약 96-97 Ma를 보여주며 이는 연구지역 진동층의 퇴적이 약 96-97 Ma에 경상화산호의 폭발적인 화산활동에 의해 종료되었음을 지시한다. 이 연대 범위는 경주지역 의성소분지 남부의 유천층군 최하부 퇴적연대(88-85 Ma)와 차이를 보이는데 이는 유천층군을 형성한 화산활동 및 그 영향 범위가 화산호로부터의 거리 혹은 경상화산호로부터 퇴적물을 공급하는 고수계 발달양상의 차이에 의한 것으로 추정된다.

Euiseong sub-basin, one of three sub-basins in Kyungsang basin, consists of various sedimentary and igneous rocks of Cretaceous age. Kusandong tuff and Yucheon volcanic rocks from the sub-basin were collected for the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) study. Maximum directions of the AMS for Kusandong tuff and Yucheon volcanic rocks are used to detect possible source areas. Although the dispersion of the maximum directions of the AMS, mainly due to low susceptibility and/or low percent anisotropy of individual specimens, is rather large, it is possible to reveal several source areas for the volcanic rocks. Areas near the Keumseongsan and Hwasan, calderas in the study area, are identified as source areas for Yucheon volcanic rocks, while the western part of Sunamsan, another collapsed caldera in Euiseong sub-basin, is inferred to be the source area for Kusandong tuff. However, it is not possible to determine detailed source areas for groups of Yucheon volcanic rocks of different lithologies, because of poor degree of convergence of the maximum directions of the AMS results from the volcanic rocks. It is also concluded that several episodic volcanic activities centered at Keumseongsan and Hwasan calderas were responsible for the formation of Yucheon volcanic rocks in Euseong area.

독도 주변 해역에는 최대 3 km 두께의 퇴적층이 화산활동에 의해 변형된 기반암 위에 집적되어 있다. 지질구조로는 기반암에 분지 형성 시기에 생성된 정단층이 우세하게 나타나는 반면, 퇴적층 내에는 화산활동에 의한 정단층, 화산돔 및 화산수평맥 등이 우세하게 관찰된다. 이들의 각 시대별 분포로부터 울릉분지에서는 북동쪽(독도 방향)으로 가면서 화산활동이 활발했음을 알 수 있다. 퇴적층이 집적되기 전인 초${\cdot}$중기 마이오세 이전에 조사지역은 확장성 지각변형이 우세했으며, 후기 마이오세 말기 이후에는 지하내부의 화산체 활동 및 분지의 침강 등의 지구조 운동에 의해 변형되어 현재와 같은 복잡한 구조의 분지를 형성하였다.

Analyzing the observational data of volcanic activities around the northern part of Korean peninsula, the odds of volcano eruption increases continuously. For example, the cumulative seismic moment and frequence observed near Mt. Baekdu show a sudden increased values. In this study, predicting the diffusion of volcanic ash for two cases were carried out by using interactive realtime simulator, which was developed during last 2 years as a research and development project. The first case is Sakurajima volcano (VEI=3) erupted in August 2013. The second case is assumed as the volcanic eruption at Mt. Baekdu (VEI=7) under landing circumstance of typhoon Maemi (August 2003) in Korean peninsula. The synoptic condition and ash diffusion for the two cases were simulated by WRF(Weather Research and Forecast) model and Lagrangian dispersion model, respectively. Comparing the simulated result of the first case (i.e., Sakurajima volcano) with satellite image, the diffusion pattern show acceptable result. The interactive realtime simulator can be available to support decision making under volcanic disaster around East Asia by predicting several days of ash dispersion within several minutes with ordinary desktop personal computer.

Landsat images can monitor the snow-covered Earth surface variations with the ground resolution of 30m and the multi-spectral bands in the visible, NIR, SWIR and TIR spectral regions for the last 30 years. The Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) of Chile consists of many volcanoes, and all of the volcanoes are covered with snow at the top of mountain. Snow cover area in southern province of the SVZ of Chile (37 to $46^{\circ}S$) have been influenced by significant frontal retreats as well as eruptive activities. In this study, we have investigated the changes of the snow-cover area and snow-line elevation at Mt. Villarrica and Mt. Llaima, Chile from three Landsat images acquired on Feb. 1990, 2005 and 2011. The snow-cover areas are 13.42, 26.75 and $21.60km^2$ at Mt. Villarrica in 1990, 2005 and 2011, respectively, and 3.82, 25.12 and $8.89km^2$ at Mt. Llaima in 1990, 2005 and 2011, respectively. The snow-line elevations are 1871, 1738 and 1826m at Mt. Villarrica in 1990, 2005 and 2011, respectively, and 2007, 1822 and 1818m at Mt. Llaima in 1990, 2005 and 2011, respectively. The results indicate that both of the snow-cover and snow-line changes are strongly related with the volcanic activity change. The results demonstrate that the snow-cover area and snow-line elevation changes can be used as an indicator of the volcanic activity at Mt. Villarrica and Mt. Llaima, Chile.

Volcanic rocks including rhyolitic tuff, rhyolite and welded tuff in the Bupyeong silver mine area form a topographic circular structure known as a resurgent caldera. Granitic rocks are emplaced inside and outside area of the circular structure. K-Ar dating and Nd-Sr isotope studies were carried out to invesitigate the origin and petrogenetic evolution of the rhyolitic and granitic magma in the Bupeong silver mine area. Whole rock K-Ar age ranges from 208 to 131 Ma for rhyolitic rocks. Radiometric ages for the granitic rocks are 167.6 Ma for pink feldspar biotite granite from inside granitic pluton of the circular volcanic body, 178.8 Ma for the Kimpo hornblende biotite granite and 111.8 Ma for the Songdo foliated granite from outside granitic plutons of the volcanic body. The radiometric age data indicates that the volcanic activities which are partly overlapped by granite plutonic activities in the Bupyeong mine area had recorded early Jurassic and early Cretaceous in age. Initial Sr and Nd isotopic ratios of the rhyolitic rocks ($^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$=0.710~0.719 and $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$=0.5115~0.5118) are similar to those of granitic rocks ($^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$=0.709~0.716 and $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$=0.5115~0.5116) from inside granite stock. This means that similar source materials of felsic magma responsibles for the Bupyeong volcanic rocks and inside plutonic rocks. Based on the Nd and Sr isotopic compositions, rhyolitic and granitic magmas in the Bupyeong area originated from the partial melting of the old continental crust which has Nd model age ranging from 1500 to 2900 Ma. This is analogous to those of the other Jurassic granitoids in South Korea.
