Reconstruction of a phreatic eruption on 27 September 2014 at Ontake volcano, central Japan, based on proximal pyroclastic density current and fallout deposits.
EPS, 68, doi 10:1186/s40623-016-0449-6.
It is one of the research achievements that many research institutes collaborated on Ontake volcano in 2014 that caused many victims of the eruption. We succeeded in restoring the complex eruption transition in detail by analyzing many eruption images in addition to the geological survey near the crater.
This result is important not only in the study of phreatic eruption but also in terms of volcanic disaster prevention, we can expect development of similar eruption research in other volcanoes.
