Abstract:
:Measurements of volcanic tephra fallout deposits provide useful information about the magnitude and intensity of explosive volcanic eruptions and potential for remobilization of deposits as dangerous volcanic flows. However, gathering information in the vicinity of erupting craters is extremely dangerous, and moreover, it is often quite difficult to determine deposit thickness proximal to volcanic craters because the thickness of the deposit is too great to easily measure; thus, airborne remote sensing technologies have generally been utilized during the intermission between eruptions. As an alternative tool, a muographic tephra deposit monitoring system was developed in this work. Here we report the performance of this system by applying the muographic data acquired at Sakurajima volcano, Japan as an example. By assuming the average density of the deposit was 2.0 g cm-3, the deposit thicknesses measured with muography were in agreement with the airborne results, indicating that volcanic fallout built up within the upper river basin, showed its potential for monitoring the episodic tephra fallouts even during eruptions.
