Abstract: The composition of volcanic gases discharged from Miyakejima volcano has been monitored during the intensive degassing activity that began after the eruption in 2000. During the 15 years from 2000 to 2015, Miyakejima volcano discharged 25.5 Mt of SO2, which required degassing of 3 km3 of basaltic magma. The SO2 emission rate peaked at 50 kt/day at the end of 2000 and quickly decreased to 5 kt/day by 2003. During the early degassing period, the volcanic gas composition was constant with the CO2/SO2 = 0.8 (mol ratio), H2O/SO2 = 35, HCl/SO2 = 0.08, and SO2/H2S = 15. The SO2 emission rate decreased gradually to 0.5 kt/day by 2012, and the gas composition also changed gradually to CO2/SO2 = 1.5, H2O/SO2 = 150, HCl/SO2 = 0.15, and SO2/H2S = 6. The compositional changes are not likely caused by changes in degassing pressure or volatile heterogeneity of a magma chamber but are likely attributed to an increase of hydrothermal scrubbing caused by large decrease of the volcanic gas emission rate, suggesting a supply of gases with constant composition during the 15 years. The intensive degassing was modeled based on degassing of a convecting magma conduit. The gradual SO2 emission rate that decrease without changes in volcanic gas composition is attributed to a reduction of diameter of the convecting magma conduit.

Characteristics and consequences of lava dome collapse at Ruawahia, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
TL;DR: Ruawahia lava dome as discussed by the authors is a well exposed ~700-year-old lava dome, and links this to collapse episodes along the fringes of the dome during growth, suggesting syn-eruption collapse events that led to expansion of a hot, pressurised dome interior.

TL;DR: A model is developed to explain the caldera and the VLP signals, in which a vertical piston of solid materials in the conduit is intermittently sucked into the magma chamber by lateral magma outflow, which offers potential for making quantitative estimations of the characteristic physical properties of magma systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a source model consisting of a deflation source (0.12km³) beneath Miyakejima, tensile faults (1.04 km³), and several shear faults was constructed to explain the observed displacements during the period between June 26 and the end of August.
