My Scientific Interests
of Dr. Setsuya Nakada
Present Research Themes:
- Geology and petrology of the 1991-1995 eruption at Unzen--especially
degassing and crystallization of magma during ascent:
Edited special issue of this eruption with John Eichelberger and Hiroshi
Shimizu in Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (Elsevier) (v.89,
1999)
- Origin of phenocrysts and magma process in magma reservoir
- Petrochemical evolution of the Izu-Oshima Volcano (using core
sample from the drilling of 1 km long within the caldera)
- Chronological and geological researches of Usu and Miyakejima eruptions
in 2000.
- Geological and petrological study on Unzen Volcano with scientific
drilling (2003-2004): Edited a special issue of the scientific
results in Jour. Volcanology and Geothermal Research (Elsevier) (in press,
2008)
- Petrological study of earliest stage of Mount Fuji using drilling
cores.
- Geological and petrological researches of the 2004 eruption at Asama
volcano and eruption at Anatahan (Northern Marianas) since mid-2003.
- Comparative petrological study of Asama and Galeras (Colombia) volcanoes.
Research Records:
- Geology and petrology of the Osuzuyama acid rocks (one of the
Miocene felsic extrusive volcanic provinces in Kyushu-a stratified
zoned magma chamber; Journal of Petrology in 1983)
- Petrochemical study on the Miocene felsic igneous rocks in the
Outer Zone of SW Japan (regional variation of magmatic nature and the
petrogenesis in a tectonic regime, co-working with M. Takahashi, Y. Okamoto,
and S. Hirahara)
- Petrochemical study of the Cenozoic volcanic rocks in central
and northern Kyushu (evolution of mantle wedge during subduction, co-working
with H. Kamata; Bulletin of Volcanology in 1991)
- Petrology of the central Andes dacites (petrogenesis of sphene-bearing
highly oxidized magma; American Mineralogist in 1991
- Geology and petrology of Unzen Volcano (a history of Unzen Volcano
and petrogenesis of the Unzen magma, co-working with M. Tanaka)
- Petrology of Vanuatu back-arc basin volcanic rocks (origin of
high-Na dacites, co-working with Japan-French marine-science group;
Marine Geology, 1994)
- Petrology of pre-Mazama rhyodacite (origin of phenocrysts, co-working
with C. Bacon and A. Gartner; Journal of Petrology)
- Geological and Petrological study of the 1990-1995 eruption at
Unzen (chronology and observation of the eruption, co-working with H.Shimizu,
Y. Motomura, T. Fujii, etc.; Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research,
1993; 1999 etc.)
- Chronological and geological studies of Usu and Miyakejima eruptions
in 2000 (Usu special issue from Bulletin of ERI, 2001 in Jpn; Miyakejima
issue was edited as the first speical issue from Bulletin of Volcanology
(Springer) with Tim Druitt, v. 67-3, 2005)
- Geological study of the 2003-2004 eruption at Anatahan volcano,
Northern Mariana Islands (Jour. Volcanol. Geotherm. Res., 2005)
- Geological study of Asama eruption in 2004 with Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto
and others (Bull. Volcanol. Soc, Jpn, 2005)
- Petrological study of the scientific drilling at Unzen, working
as the sceince leader of project (Scientific Drilling, 2005, Jour. Volcanol.
Geotherm. Res., 2008 etc)
