Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that countries adopt the reference level of 100 Bq m−3 for indoor radon gas. Adopting the reference level requires a preliminary assessment of the indoor radon concentration. In the preliminary investigation, a cut-off value is useful, which is a value for selecting samples that can be reliably determined to be below the reference level (in this paper, the WHO reference level) using a straightforward method. If the true value was the WHO reference level, then the cut-off value of the PicoRad collector for selecting samples was determined as 80 Bq m−3 through the analysis of the 95% prediction interval.

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Rubinite (IMA 2016-110) is a recently discovered Ti3+-dominant refractory mineral in the garnet group from the solar nebula. It has the Ia3d garnet-type structure with a = 12.19(1) Å, and Z = 8, and end-member formula of Ca3Ti3+2Si3O12. Rubinite was identified as micrometer-sized crystals in five refractory Ca,Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) from the CV3 carbonaceous chondrites Allende, Efremovka, and Vigarano. In the Vigarano CAI V3, it occurs in the central portion of an ultrarefractory fragment with Zr,Y,Sc-oxide, spinel and davisite-diopside, all enclosed within an amoeboid olivine aggregate. In the Allende Compact Type A (CTA) CAI AE01-01, it occurs with gehlenitic melilite, perovskite, spinel, hibonite, davisite, grossmanite, and diopside. In Efremovka, rubinite occurs within gehlenitic melilite with perovskite, spinel, and grossmanite in three CTA CAIs E101, E105, and 40E-1 (in a compound CAI). Rubinite is present in spinel-poor regions in all four of the Efremovka and Allende CAIs but it is in contact with spinel in the Vigarano inclusion.</jats:p> <jats:p>The mean chemical composition of type rubinite in Allende is (in wt%) CaO 32.68, Ti2O3 14.79, TiO2 13.06, SiO2 28.37 Al2O3 3.82, Sc2O3 1.80, Na2O 1.01, ZrO2, 0.80, MgO 0.79, V2O3 0.61, FeO 0.53, Y2O3 0.07, Cr2O3 0.05, total 98.38, giving rise to an empirical formula of (Ca2.94Na0.08)(Ti3+1.04Ti4+0.59Sc0.13Mg0.10V0.04Fe0.04Zr0.03)(Si2.38Al0.38Ti4+0.24)O12, where Ti3+ and Ti4+ are partitioned based on stoichiometry. Efremovka rubinite has a similar composition with a mean empirical formula of (Ca2.97Na0.06)(Ti3+1.05Ti4+0.66Mg0.12Sc0.09Zr0.03V0.03Y0.01Fe0.01)(Si2.36Al0.48Ti4+0.16)O12. Vigarano rubinite is much more Y-, Sc-, and Zr-rich, having an empirical formula of (Ca1.89Y0.83Mg0.28)(Ti3+0.59Sc0.50Zr0.72Mg0.2V0.02Cr0.01)(Si1.64Al1.18Ti4+0.07Fe0.06)O12. All rubinites are Ti3+-rich but a significant amount (11–46%) of the Ti is 4+.</jats:p> <jats:p>In the Efremovka CTAs, spinel is 16O-rich (Δ17O ~ –24‰); rubinite and perovskite show limited ranges of Δ17O (from –24 to –16‰; most analyses range from –24 to –20‰); melilite and grossmanite are the most 16O-depleted minerals (Δ17O range from ~ –10 to –4‰ and from –8 to –5‰, respectively). In the Allende CTA AE01-01, spinel and hibonite are 16O-rich (Δ17O ~ –24‰); melilite, rubinite and perovskite show large ranges in Δ17O (from –23 to –3‰, from –21 to –6‰, and from –14 to – 2‰, respectively); grossmanite is uniformly 16O-depleted (Δ17O ~ –3‰).</jats:p> <jats:p>Rubinite formed under highly reducing conditions in the solar nebula by gas-solid condensation and by crystallization from a Ca, Al, and Ti-rich melt. Subsequently, most rubinite grains in the Allende CAI and some in the Efremovka CAIs may have experienced O-isotope exchange to a various degree with an 16O-depleted (Δ17O ~ – 2‰) aqueous fluid on the CV chondrite parent asteroid. However, crystallization from a Ca,Al,Ti-rich melt that recorded O-isotope exchange: with nebular gas with variable Δ17O or post-crystallization O-isotope with such gas cannot be excluded. The mineral name is in honor of Alan E. Rubin (b. 1953), a cosmochemist at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA, for his many contributions to research in cosmochemistry and mineralogy of meteorites.</jats:p>

Abstract Various anomalies occurring before earthquakes are currently being studied to predict seismic events, with one of them being the radioactive element radon (²²²Rn). Radon concentrations in the soil, water, and atmosphere fluctuate in response to crustal movement. Recent research has statistically detected anomalies by analyzing the fluctuations in radon concentrations before earthquakes and conducting quantitative evaluations of radon. However, the method used to determine the parameters in the analysis was problematic. Therefore, in this study, we compared observed atmospheric radon concentration data with predicted values based on typical annual patterns using Random Forest analysis. We conducted a more objective analysis by employing this method and statistically determining anomalies using thresholds. This analysis was conducted using atmospheric radon concentration observation data obtained at Kobe Pharmaceutical University (KPU) before the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, and ionization currents emitted when radon decays were obtained at Fukushima Medical University (FMU) before the 2011 Tohoku-oki Earthquake. Consequently, before the major earthquakes occurred at both locations, the difference between the predicted and observed values exceeded the standard deviation by a factor of three. These results indicate the potential of Random Forest analysis to identify anomalies in atmospheric radon concentrations before earthquakes occur.

Off-fault damage or pulverized rocks found in large-scale strike–slip faults are of great interest in earthquake research. In order to experimentally investigate rock pulverization, we developed a split Hopkinson pressure bar with compact dimensions and high-speed imaging. The developed experimental setup is capable of generating very high strain rates up to 1320 s−1 with the satisfaction of stress equilibrium, which are essential to reproduce the dynamic pulverization observed in nature and obtain dynamic stress–strain responses accurately. High-speed imaging revealed that cracks initiate and propagate along the grain boundaries at very high speeds, while the dynamic stress–strain response suggested that energy dissipated into the fracture increases with stronger impacts. In addition, we show that the apparatus is capable of producing particle size distributions partly similar to those in naturally pulverized rocks of large-scale strike–slip faults. Thus, our developed system with compact dimensions opens new ways to understand the dynamics of the rock pulverization in off-fault regions of large-scale strike–slip faults.

Abstract The 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake produced the most well-recorded postseismic deformation of any megathrust earthquake in the world. Over the last decade, researchers have used a dense and widespread geodetic network of more than 1300 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations inland, as well as the about 50 stations on the seafloor, to investigate the various deformation sources responsible for the observed crustal deformation. One of the contributing mechanisms to this crustal deformation is the stress relaxation of the viscoelastic mantle beneath the Japanese arc. As evident in experimental rock physics and geophysical observations, ambient mantle conditions and related rheology are expected to be heterogeneous in space. However, the contribution of such rheological heterogeneities to the postseismic deformation is still poorly understood. Here, we piece together several rheological heterogeneities inferred from the decade-long postseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake. We reviewed more than twenty postseismic models to understand how viscoelastic earth can influence the postseismic surface deformation observed after the Tohoku-oki earthquake. Besides, we employed several synthetic models to tease out the contribution of individual rheological heterogeneities such as depth-dependent rheology of mantle wedge, oceanic asthenosphere, and low-viscosity zone beneath the volcanic front. We demonstrate that the vertical postseismic observation is the key to unravel rheological complexity beneath northeastern Japan. The broader vertical deformation pattern reveals the major viscosity contrast between backarc and forearc, and small-scale subsidence detects the presence of low-viscosity bodies related to arc magmatism. In short, this review paper provides a vista of three-dimensional heterogeneous rheology of viscoelastic earth. These rheological heterogeneities may play a crucial role in bridging the gap between our understanding of different phase of subduction zone earthquake cycle.

Abstract Two bio-siliceous Onnagawa (ONG I and ONG II) shale samples have been hydraulically fractured under two constant differential stresses (60 and 85 MPa, respectively) to investigate the fracture network's connectivity evolution by a postmortem analysis. The pressure inside the drilled borehole in a cylindrical core sample is increased above the confining pressure (10 MPa) until failure by hydraulic fracture. The two samples failed at two different borehole pressures (ONG I: 42 MPa, ONG II: 16 MPa). Fractured samples were scanned in an industrial X-ray CT machine and the tomographic images of the fracture network were extracted for a postmortem investigation. From the fracture volume segments, obtained by thresholding the frequency distribution of the fracture network's voxel values, a quantitative estimation of fracture connectivity was carried out. The connectivity was quantified based on the relative entropy of size distribution of fractures (${H_r}$), a method adapted from information theory. Fracture connectivity estimation shows that ${H_r}$ is at a maximum value when the fractures show a significant distribution with very limited connectivity. The value of ${H_r}$ is at a minimum and close to 0 when a well-linked fracture network is formed. In both samples, this minimum was attained at the threshold of 43k indicating the highest connectivity and the best representation of the fracture network. The extracted fracture network of ONG I showed a multi-winged hydraulic fracture network while a planar conventional two-winged hydraulic fracture network had been generated in ONG II with a lower fracture volume.

SUMMARY The Japan forearc plays a crucial role in modulating the post-seismic deformation in response to the enormous stress perturbation induced by the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake. Dense geodetic observations across Japan have revealed coupled interactions between afterslip on the subducting plate interface and viscous deformation within the mantle wedge, and detailed numerical models can provide further profound insights into the forearc rheology. Recent studies have revealed the presence of a stagnant section in the forearc mantle of the Tohoku subduction zone, and here we investigate the associated along-arc variation of the stagnant part of the mantle wedge (cold nose) across Japan. We utilize a newly deployed geodetic network along a corridor in the Fukushima–Niigata region and compare the surface deformation pattern to that of the Miyagi–Yamagata corridor close to the main rupture area. We present a 3-D rheological model using laboratory-derived constitutive laws to simulate the geodetic observations including displacement fields and their time-series. Our results suggest along-arc heterogeneity in the forearc mantle rheology; specifically, we find a narrower cold nose in the Miyagi region and a wider one in the Fukushima forearc. The geodetic inferences on the forearc variation are consistent with along-arc spatial heterogeneity in the cut-off depth for shallow earthquakes as well as comparative measurements of the respective geothermal gradients between the Miyagi and Fukushima regions.

<p>New minerals from chondritic refractory inclusions potentially record a specific history of the earliest stage of the solar system evolution. Rubinite (Ca₃Ti³⁺₂Si₃O₁₂) is a new garnet mineral identified in refractory inclusions from CV carbonaceous chondrites. Petrology and mineral chemistry of rubinite from the Allende CV chondrite suggest formation from a partial melt of a pre-existing nebula condensate under highly reduced conditions near the proto-Sun. Since mineralogical and petrological variations observed in Allende rubinite might reflect physicochemical conditions of both nebular and asteroidal processes, further investigation of the mineral will provide us new insights into the early solar system processes.</p>

More details Close

A two-dimensional rheological profile crossing the northeastern Japan arc was created to evaluate and distinguish various styles of post-seismic deformation relating to the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The calculated profile is based on recent rock-mechanics studies and geophysical observations that explain observed patterns of geodetic strain accumulation and shallow seismicity prior to the earthquake. Viscosities were then calculated assuming stress-change magnitudes commonly associated with interplate earthquakes. Recently derived flow laws for various rocks and minerals predict the presence of weak zones that developed via processes likely operating in the lithosphere (e.g., partial melting and shear zone development). Strain localization into weak zones explains low viscosity estimates (10¹⁸—10²⁰ Pas) from post-seismic creep after inland earthquake events. Our calculations reveal significant lateral variations in strengths and viscosities across the northeastern Japan arc. These viscoelastic lithospheric structures should be taken into account in order to differentiate viscous relaxation from other post-seismic deformation processes.

Presence of water enhances plastic deformation of minerals. We performed axial compression experiments on very fine grained (~3 μm) anorthite aggregates. We added water of 0.5 wt% and investigated the effects of water on mechanical properties of anorthite in high temperature and pressure conditions. Experiment with 0.5 wt%-added water shows significant strength reduction compared to the strength predicted by lower pressure experiments (Rybacki et al., 2006). This implies that the effect of water in higher pressure condition might be larger than those predicted by lower pressure experiments.

Abstract:Anomalous changes in the radon concentration in the atmosphere have been reported to occur prior to earthquakes. To determine whether anomalous changes were observed before the 2011 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake in Japan, the atmospheric daily minimum radon concentrations collected in Fukushima prefecture, Miyagi prefecture and Tochigi prefecture during 8-year, 4-year and 3-year periods, respectively, were analyzed. The time series variations of the radon concentrations from the de-trended levels were obtained by subtracting the linear trends (or mean values) and the seasonal variations from the corresponding daily minimum radon concentrations. Based on these results, the outlier values and sharp decreases in the radon concentration determined (greater than ± 3σ compared to the radon variation during the normal period) occurred simultaneously at each site prior to the earthquake. This result raises the possibility of a link between these anomalous changes in the radon concentration and seismic deformation.

本研究では、放射光施設でも使用可能な小型の摩擦試験機の自作設計を検討していた。令和5年度は、九州大学の八木研究室で見学したYagi et al. (2016Tribology) の実験機を参考に、岩石、セラミックスの高速摩擦実験が可能な試験機の設計製作を行った。Yagi et al.では、金属（ステンレス丸棒）を使用した実験治具を用いていたが、本研究では地震断層を模擬した実験機の製作を目的としているため、セラミックスを高速で保持する機構を設計に加えた実験機を製作した。具体的には、圧力締結を使った鉱物ビーズとディスク保持具の設計を採用した。これらの実験機全体の設計はR５年度秋頃には終わっていたものの、世界的な物品の供給不足（特にモーターや機械部品など）により、高速回転する摩擦ディスクの保持部を構成する大型薄型ベアリングおよび高速モーターが手に入らず、納期の目処が立たない状況にあった。やっと、R6年度に入ってから、これら機械部品の納期が決定し、現在R6年度５月中旬の納品を待っている状況である。今後試験機が到着次第、より早期にオフラインでの摩擦実験を開始し、放射光実験が行えることを目指した実験を進めていく。

A new hydrothermal flow-through apparatus was developed, which enables us to investigate the dissolution and precipitation processes of fractured rocks at sub to supercritical conditions under confining pressure, and the evolution of aperture structures by X-ray CT. In the dissolution experiments of fractured granite, large pores and preferential flow paths were created by rapid dissolution of quartz and gauge parts, suggesting that formation of large fluid pockets induced by water-rock interaction within the crusts. In silica precipitation experiment at supercritical condition, amorphous silica precipitated at the inlet, which caused fracture sealing effectively, compared to quartz overgrowth from the fracture walls. The fracture sealing by silica precipitation produced a characteristic fluid pressure oscillation, which may indicate an importance analogue of the cycle of silica precipitation - fluid pressure rise (earthquake).

In order to clarify the mechanism of rock pulverization around fault, a series of stick-slip experiment was conducted with a gas-medium triaxial apparatus, recording strains with5MHz sampling rate for up to10 channels. The mechanical data confirmed a supershear velocity of the propagation of rapture front during large stick-slip. Fracture pattern in the pulverized cores shows obvious dependence on the slip direction. It is likely that anomalously high axial stress caused strong tension stress on the slip plane during slip resulted in pervasive mode I fractures.

1.加水軟化に伴う再結晶石英c軸ファブリック転移赤外反射分光マッピング法と石英の微細変形組織観察から、畑川マイロナイト中の再結晶石英多結晶体のc軸ファブリックが多結晶体中のH2O、OH増加に起因する可能性を報告した。Muto et al.(2004;J.Microscopy 216,222-228)で報告した再結晶石英多結晶体の赤外反射分光マッピング測定結果と石英c軸ファブリックの測定から、畑川破砕帯で見出されたタイプIクロスガードルからY集中へのファブリックパターンの転移は含水(H2O、OH)量の増加によって引き起こされる可能性がある。通常、このファブリック転移は、変形時の温度上昇によって説明される。しかし、畑川破砕帯新田川流域においては、変成鉱物から推定される変形温度とファブリックによって推定される変形温度は一致しない。このファブリック転移は、稜面<α>すべりから柱面<α>すべりへの優先すべり系の転移によって引き起こされる。水欠陥の増加が、柱面<α>すべりの最大分解剪断応力を低下させ、稜面<α>すべりから柱面<α>すべりへの優先すべり系の転移をさせ、石英c軸ファブリックのタイプIクロスガードルからY集中へのファブリック転移を引き起こしたと考えられる。 2.石英-石英間の摩擦発光に関する研究地震電磁放射機構を明らかにするために、断層アスペリティの動きを模擬したピンオンディスク法を用いて、天然石英-石英間の摩擦による発光が、低応力・低すべり速度でも起きることを明らかにした。また、発光のサイクルが電磁放射を引き起こす可能性を指摘し、地震電磁気現象の一機構となり得ることを指摘した。さらに、断層アスペリティのフラクタル分布特性から、アスペリティ剪断に伴うこれらの研究成果の一部を国際会議および国際誌で報告した。

下部地殻レオロジーの実験的研究：延性破壊による地殻深部での震源核形成について

More details Close

近年の地球物理学的観測網の発展により、下部地殻が地震学的に “active” であると考えられ始めた（Jackson, 2002）。インド楯状地では、従来上部マントル内で起こるとされていた地震を震源決定しなおした結果、これらの地震がMoho面上部の下部地殻内で起きていることが明らかになった（Maggi et al., 2000a, b)。さらに、地表に露出する実際の下部地殻岩石中から、温度約800 ºC, 圧力約1 GPaという条件にもかかわらず、地震発生の痕跡であるシュードタキライトの産出が報告されており（Austrheim & Boundy, 1994）、下部地殻が地震を発生しうるほど強度が高いことを裏付けている。しかし、実際の下部地殻という高温高圧下でどのように地震の核形成（岩石の摩擦すべりおよび破壊）が始まるかについては明らかになっていない。下部地殻岩石のレオロジーとして、Rybacki et al. (2008) は、ガス圧式試験機（封圧400 MPa = 深度約15kmでの制岩圧に相当）を用いた、剪断変形実験から、細粒斜長岩の延性破壊が、下部地殻中での震源核形成の一因となることを指摘した。彼らの実験では、高歪で粒界に存在する微小空洞（キャビティ）が、巨視的な剪断面へと成長し、試料の延性破壊を引き起こすことが観察されている。さらに、天然のマイロナイト中の斜長石多結晶体からも、キャビティ形成による破壊面の存在が観察され（Shigematsu et al., 2004）、キャビティ形成とその発達が、地殻深部での破壊核形成の一因となる可能性が指摘されている。一方、金属学の分野では、高圧下では、空洞の発生と引き続く延性破壊が抑制されることが知られており、低封圧で行われたRybakcki et al. (2008) の実験結果を、より高圧の下部地殻へと応用出来るかどうか（つまりキャビティ形成の圧力範囲）という点については不明である。地殻深部でのキャビティ形成による地震核形成の可能性について、下部地殻に相当する圧力を発生することができるGriggs型試験機（封圧 ~ 1.4 GPa）を使い、下部地殻相当の圧力下でもキャビティ形成による延性破壊が起こるかどうかを調べる必要がある。そこで、本研究は、Griggs試験機を使い、斜長石多結晶体の高圧下でのキャビティ形成の可能性について調べ、下部地殻中での震源核形成機構について言及することを目的とする。
