The regolith on the Earth's Moon has been attracting attention from the perspective of understanding the planetary surface processes and procuring in-situ resources. However, very few studies have investigated the hydraulic properties of the lunar regolith, which should pose one of the most significant physical properties for understanding the lunar surface processes and evaluating regolith utilizations. In this paper, we study the water permeability of the surficial regolith layer on sunlit lunar highlands using the lunar highlands regolith simulant LHS-1. We measure the water permeability of LHS-1 at packing fractions of 0.49–0.60 by simulating lunar gravitational environments and evaluating the influences of freeze-thaw, which is expected to occur on the sunlit lunar highland surfaces. Our results indicate that the water permeability of lunar highland regolith is one to two orders of magnitudes lower than that of fine silica sands and monodisperse spherical glass beads at the given packing fraction. The low water permeability of lunar highland regolith attributes to the regolith particles having irregular and angular shapes with sharp edges and micron-sized chunks due to the least weathering, unlike soil particles on the Earth. The horizontal water permeability of lunar highland regolith simulant before freeze-thaw is 1.6 × 10−13 m2 at a packing fraction of 0.6. From the porosity-depth profile available from previous studies, we also obtained the water permeability-depth curve, representing the vertical water permeabilities of 6 × 10−13–2 × 10−12 m2 and 7 × 10−14–3 × 10−13 m2 at the lunar surface and the depth of 5 m within the surficial lunar regolith layer, respectively. We also found that the water permeability of lunar highland regolith increased after one freeze-thaw cycle, achieving 6.4 times higher than the permeability before the freeze, and the increase was more significant with lower packing fractions. We suggest that the pore water in the solid phase due to the freeze encourages the rearrangement of the regolith particles changing the total contact area between the particles. This study will help us better understand the abundance and distribution of molecular water on the lunar surface, lunar surface processes, and regolith utilizations.

The calcium carbonate (CaCO_3) scale generated in water pipes and heat exchangers causes serious problems such as pipe blockage and corrosion. This study investigates the effect of the 4-to-10 μm-long and 350-to-700 nm centering-nucleus-wide ZnO tetrapod-like nanomaterials and polydimethylsiloxane composite (t-ZnO/PDMS) on deposition and polymorphism of CaCO_3 crystals on the stainless-steel substrate. The results showed that the t-ZnO/PDMS coating inhibited CaCO_3 depositions and represented an excellent antifouling coating. The weight-based inhibition efficiencies of CaCO_3 deposition were up to 81.3% and 63.2% at 20 °C and 60 °C, respectively. The t-ZnO/PDMS coating also exhibited good inhibition in the presence of liquid flow. The inhibition is primarily because the very fine concave-convex microstructure of the t-ZnO/PDMS coated surface lowered the surface energy of the substrates, making it difficult for CaCO_3 crystals to adhere to the surface. Also, metastable vaterite and aragonite precipitations were dominant in the t-ZnO/PDMS coated coupons at 20 °C and 60 °C, respectively, whereas the uncoated coupon exhibited calcite as the predominant polymorph in all the studied conditions. The t-ZnO/PDMS composite subject to the liquid flow made calcites distorted and framboidal vaterite aggregates, likely due to their mechanical effects. The inhibition of CaCO_3 depositions is due to achieving hydrophobicity on substrate surfaces, changing preferential polymorph formation, and tailoring the morphology of the given polymorph by the t-ZnO/PDMS composite.

The analogue materials play a critical role in dynamically scaled experiments, defining the processes that can be simulated and the structures observable in the model. The dynamic scaling enables the direct comparison between the model and its natural counterpart. To obtain such a model the physical and mechanical properties of the analogue material must be scaled with respect to the rock prototype. A large variety of materials have been applied in analogue modelling studies to address the physical and mechanical requirements for the simulation of (i) upper crust, (ii) middle crust and (iii) lower crust and mantle processes. Nevertheless, the development of new model materials represents a continuous improvement of the analogue modelling techniques. We investigated the mechanical and physical properties of a new Granular Rock-Analogue Material (GRAM) (introduced in Massaro et al. (2022)) and its component materials. GRAM is an ultra-weak artificial sandstone composed of quartz sand cemented with gypsum, capable to deform by tensile and shear failure under variable stress conditions. GRAM aggregates in different mixing ratios (from 1% to 4% in weight of hemihydrate powder) were systematically tested with ring-shear tests and uniaxial compression tests. The relationships between the hemihydrate content and the mechanical properties of GRAM were examined. Additionally, the sample preparation procedure of GRAM was investigated, evaluating the impact of the residual water content on the mechanical properties of GRAM aggregates and defining a standard preparation procedure. Finally, GRAM was compared to natural rocks and to other granular materials applied in analogue modelling studies, in terms of physical and mechanical properties, application to physical modelling and dynamic scaling. It was underlined how the application of GRAM aggregates in dynamically scaled experiments can enhance the comprehension of the fault and fracture processes occurring at the scale of the damage zone.

<p>地質現象は、一般に規模や時間が人間にとって直感的に理解できる範囲を超えている。それを補うために、実験や数値シミュレーションを用いてスケールを変更する試みが行われてきた。中でも褶曲や断層などの変形に関する分野では、時間的にもサイズ的にも現象を縮小して再現することで、最終的な変形形態やその形成過程について理解するだけではなく、その知見を地下資源開発の探査と開発に役立ててきた。褶曲形成に関する理論化がほぼ完成され、それを解析する能力が十分に向上した1980年代には、褶曲変形に関する検討は数値シミュレーションで十分に行えるようになった。一方断層などの破壊に関する検討は、数値シミュレーションの制約が大きいことから主として物理実験によって検討が進められてきた。物理実験によって変形現象を縮小再現する際、現象の物理的な意味を保ったまま（つまり物理的等価に）縮小するための理論的な条件（相似則）は1950年代に完成していたが、その条件を満たすように実験を行うことは困難であった。しかし、2000年以降に微小物性を計測できる試験機が開発されたことに伴い、相似律を満たすように実験材料の物性を微調整することができるようになった。これを受けて、様々な地質環境における変形構造を物理的等価に縮小・再現する物理実験が可能となってきている。本講演では、Massaro et al 2021, Massaro et al 2023の成果を基に、縮小模型実験の可能性が広がりつつある状況を報告する。 Massaro, L., Adam, J., Yamada, Y. 2023.

Undulating topography on a subducting oceanic plate causes substantial deformation of the accretionary wedge. In particular, the subduction of a seamount is considered to induce 1) the development of landward concave topography such as reentrant and indented features, 2) compression within the accretionary wedge, and 3) disturbance of the primary thrust-sheet structures by uplift associated with the formation of multiple faults. However, according to previous seismic profiles, some subducting seamounts have provided suggestive evidence for weak wedge deformation rather than strong compression and uplift that were indicated in the previous model experiments. As the cross-sectional shape of an accretionary wedge is known to be strongly constrained by the internal and basal friction of the wedge, this study evaluates the effect of the frictional conditions of a subducting seamount on the deformation of the upper plate using analog experiments of two seamount models with low and high friction, respectively. Results show that subduction of a high-friction seamount causes continuous compression and uplift of the accretionary wedge, with the plate boundary fault zone composed of discontinuous multiple faults that offset vertically and partially overlapped to form a thick deformation zone. In contrast, a low-friction seamount is associated with a relatively thin wedge and a single plate boundary fault, which results in less compression compared with a high-friction seamount. During the subduction of a low-friction seamount, the accretionary wedge grows locally as the thickness of sediment on the seamount decreases, which has not been reported in previous studies. The wedge deformation pattern around the subducting Bennett Knoll Seamount in the Hikurangi Margin could be explained by the mechanism observed in the low-friction seamount subduction. From these results, we conclude that the frictional conditions on the seamount surface are a dominant control on the process of wedge deformation during the early stages of seamount subduction.

Abstract. The Oman Drilling Project (OmanDP), performed under theInternational Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), is aninternational scientific research project that undertook drilling at a range of sites in the Semail ophiolite (Oman) to collect core samples spanning the stratigraphy of the ophiolite, from the upper oceanic crust down to the basal thrust. The cores were logged to International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) standards aboard the D/V Chikyu. During ChikyuOman2018 Leg 3 (July–August 2018), participants described cores from the crust–mantle transition (CM) sites. The main rock types recovered at these sites weregabbros, dunites and harzburgites, rocks typically forming the base of theoceanic crust and the shallow mantle beneath present-day spreading centres.In addition to the core description, selected samples were analysed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for their chemical compositions, including major, minor and some trace elements. To complement these standard procedures, we developed newapproaches to measure ultra-trace element concentrations using a procedureadapted from previous works to prepare fine-grained pressed powder pelletscoupled with laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis using instrumentation aboard the D/V Chikyu. First, three (ultra)mafic reference materials were investigated to test and validate our procedure (BHVO-2, BIR-1a and JP-1), and then the procedure was applied to a selection of gabbro and dunite samples from the CM cores toexplore the limitations of the method in its current stage of development.The obtained results are in good agreement with preferred values for thereference materials and with subsequent solution replicate analyses of the same samples performed in shore-based laboratories following Leg 3 for theCM samples. We describe this procedure for the determination of 37 minor and (ultra-)trace elements (transition elements and Ga, Li and Large-Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE), Rare Earth Elements (REE), High-Field-Strength Elements (HFSE), U, Th, and Pb) in mafic and ultramafic rocks. The presented method has the major advantage that it allows the determination at sea of the(ultra-)trace element concentrations in a “dry”, safe way, without usingacid reagents. Our new approach could be extended for other elements ofinterest and/or be improved to be adapted to other rock materials duringfuture ocean drilling operations aboard the D/V Chikyu and other platforms.

Completely carbonated peridotites represent a window to study reactions of carbon-rich fluids with mantle rocks. Here, we present details on the carbonation history of listvenites close to the basal thrust in the Samail ophiolite. We use samples from Oman Drilling Project Hole BT1B, which provides a continuous record of lithologic transitions, as well as outcrop samples from listvenites, metasediments, and metamafics below the basal thrust of the ophiolite. 87Sr/86Sr of listvenites and serpentinites, ranging from 0.7090 to 0.7145, are significantly more radiogenic than mantle values, Cretaceous seawater, and other peridotite hosted carbonates in Oman. The Hawasina sediments that underlie the ophiolite, on the other hand, show higher 87Sr/86Sr values of up to 0.7241. δ13C values of total carbon in the listvenites and serpentinites range from −10.6‰ to 1.92‰. We also identified a small organic carbon component with δ13C as low as −27‰. Based on these results, we propose that during subduction at temperatures above >400°C, carbon-rich fluids derived from decarbonation of the underlying sediments migrated updip and generated the radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr signature and the fractionated δ13C values of the serpentinites and listvenites in core BT1B.

<p>プレートの沈み込み帯に形成される付加体ウェッジは，多数のせん断帯が形成されることが特徴である．せん断帯はウェッジの変形様式や流体の流れを制御しており，その形成機構は極めて重要である．砂箱実験による先行研究では，典型的なウェッジの形状とせん断帯のパターンが報告されている．本研究では，充てん方法や材質を変え初生的な強度構造が異なる砂層を用意し，変形様式のバリエーションについて検討した．付加体ウェッジは，底面シートを敷いたアクリル製の箱（118 mm×693 mm×158 mm）に乾燥砂（厚さ約16 mm）を充てんし，シートを箱から引き出して砂層を変形させて作った．シートの水平変位は250 mmとした．実験に用いた砂層は，(A)空中落下で充てんした豊浦珪砂層，(B)流し込みで充てんした豊浦珪砂層，(C)空中落下充てんのマイクロビーズ下層＋空中落下充てんの豊浦珪砂上層，(D)空中落下充てんのマイクロビーズ下層＋流し込み充てんの豊浦珪砂上層，の4種類である．それぞれの砂層についてX線コンピュータトモグラフィー（XCT）データをもとに強度構造を求めた．各実験における変形は連続写真で記録し，一部の実験ではXCTスキャンを行った． 実験の結果，付加体ウェッジの表面傾斜角は実験Aで最も大きくなり，実験B，C，D の順に傾斜角が小さくなった．また，実験Bでは実験Aよりもせん断帯の間隔が狭くなったが，これは流し込んだ砂層のひずみ弱化の程度が小さいためであると考えられる．実験CおよびDでは，バックスラストが明瞭に発達し，底面のマイクロビーズ層がデコルマとして変位した．CT画像からは，実験Aでは新たなせん断帯 （フロンタルスラスト）が形成される直前にデコルマの伝播が短期間で起こり，実験CやDでは新たなフロンタルスラストが形成されるかなり以前からデコルマの伝播が始まっている様子が見られた．これらの結果は，初生的な強度構造が付加体ウェッジのせん断帯間隔とデコルマの伝播様式に影響を与えることを示している． また，Cascadia，南海トラフ，Barbadosなどの現世の天然付加体ウェッジにおいても，実験で観察されたような構造の特徴が観察される．これらのウェッジの検層データと反射法地震探査データを比較すると，インプット堆積層の密度構造に違いがあること，ウェッジ部ではプロトデコルマの有無やバックスラストの発達具合に違いがあることがわかる．このことは，インプット堆積層の強度特性が天然の付加体ウェッジの変形様式にも影響を及ぼしている可能性を示唆している．</p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits, modern analogues of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits on land, represent future resources of base and precious metals. Studies of VMS deposits have proposed two emplacement mechanisms for SMS deposits: exhalative deposition on the seafloor and mineral and void space replacement beneath the seafloor. The details of the latter mechanism are poorly characterised in detail, despite its potentially significant role in global metal cycling throughout Earth’s history, because in-situ studies require costly drilling campaigns to sample SMS deposits. Here, we interpret petrographic, geochemical and geophysical data from drill holes in a modern SMS deposit and demonstrate that it formed via subseafloor replacement of pumice. Samples from the sulphide body and overlying sediment at the Hakurei Site, Izena Hole, middle Okinawa Trough indicate that sulphides initially formed as aggregates of framboidal pyrite and matured into colloform and euhedral pyrite, which were replaced by chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. The initial framboidal pyrite is closely associated with altered material derived from pumice, and alternating layers of pumiceous and hemipelagic sediments functioned as a factory of sulphide mineralisation. We infer that anhydrite-rich layers within the hemipelagic sediment forced hydrothermal fluids to flow laterally, controlling precipitation of a sulphide body extending hundreds of meters.</jats:p>

The understanding of formation properties in the mantle is relatively frontier subject in the geosciences research. To achieve the mantle sampling in the near future, Oman Drilling Project was carried out as a part of the International Continental scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) from 2017 to 2018, and both drilling and full coring operation were conducted at the former mantle-crust boundary (now exposed). Full suite of wireline log data was acquired with good quality in the drilling well and excellent quality core samples were continuously taken in the coring borehole nearby. To obtain the continuous geochemical composition of formation, the advanced pulsed neutron spectroscopy well logging was conducted first ever in scientific drilling project. The closure model, specific to igneous rocks, was applied for the spectroscopy log data processing and the result was quantitatively validated with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements of the core samples with the complex mineralogy of ultramafic igneous rock, such as Oman Ophiolites. Then a mineralogical quantitative interpretation was carried out with the dry weight fraction of formation elements, and the results agreed with the core lithological description. This study confirmed that pulsed neutron spectroscopic measurements were key alternatives for continuous mineralogical quantification of igneous rocks, even without core samples, in the future mantle drilling project.

and into the uppermost mantle has been one of the most challenging missions
of scientific ocean drilling. Such a scientific and technological
achievement would provide humankind with profound insights into the largest
realm of our planet and expand our fundamental understanding of Earth's deep
interior and its geodynamic behavior. The formation of new oceanic crust at
mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent aging over millions of years, leading to
subduction, arc volcanism, and recycling of some components into the mantle,
comprise the dominant geological cycle of matter and energy on Earth.
Although previous scientific ocean drilling has cored some drill holes into
old (> 110 Ma) and young (< 20 Ma) ocean crust, our
sampling remains relatively shallow (< 2 km into intact crust) and
unrepresentative of average oceanic crust. To date, no hole penetrates more
than 100 m into intact average-aged oceanic crust that records the long-term
history of seawater–basalt exchange (60 to 90 Myr). In addition,
the nature, extent, and evolution of the deep subseafloor biosphere within
oceanic crust remains poorly unknown. To address these fundamentally
significant scientific issues, an international workshop “Exploring Deep
Oceanic Crust off Hawai`i” brought together 106 scientists and engineers
from 16 countries that represented the entire spectrum of disciplines, including
petrologists, geophysicists, geochemists, microbiologists, geodynamic
modelers, and drilling/logging engineers. The aim of the workshop was to
develop a full International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) proposal to
drill a 2.5 km deep hole into
oceanic crust on the North Arch off Hawai`i with the drilling research vessel Chikyu. This drill hole would provide
samples down to cumulate gabbros of mature (∼ 80 Ma) oceanic
crust formed at a half spreading rate of ∼ 3.5 cm a−1. A Moho
reflection has been observed at ∼ 5.5 km below the seafloor at
this site, and the workshop concluded that the proposed 2.5 km deep
scientific drilling on the North Arch off Hawai`i would provide an essential
“pilot hole” to inform the design of future mantle drilling.

<title>Abstract</title>
Seafloor hydrothermal deposits form when hydrothermal fluid mixes with ambient seawater, and constituent sulfide minerals are usually interpreted to precipitate abiogenically. Recent research drilling at Izena Hole and Iheya North Knoll in the middle Okinawa Trough (East China Sea), combined with secondary ion mass spectrometry determinations of δ34S in pyrite grains, provides compelling evidence that the initial stage of subseafloor sulfide mineralization is closely associated with microbial sulfate reduction. During the sulfide maturation process, pyrite textures progress from framboidal to colloform to euhedral. Pyrite δ34S has highly negative values (as low as –38.9‰) in framboidal pyrite, which systematically increase toward positive values in colloform and euhedral pyrite. Sulfur isotope fractionation between seawater sulfate (+21.2‰) and framboidal pyrite (–38.9‰) is as great as –60‰, which can be attained only by microbial sulfate reduction in an open system. Because framboidal pyrite is commonly replaced by chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite, framboidal pyrite appears to function as the starting material (nucleus) of other sulfide minerals. We conclude that framboidal pyrite, containing microbially reduced sulfur, plays an important role at the initial stage of subseafloor sulfide mineralization.

<jats:p>Microorganisms in marine subsurface sediments substantially contribute to global biomass. Sediments warmer than 40°C account for roughly half the marine sediment volume, but the processes mediated by microbial populations in these hard-to-access environments are poorly understood. We investigated microbial life in up to 1.2-kilometer-deep and up to 120°C hot sediments in the Nankai Trough subduction zone. Above 45°C, concentrations of vegetative cells drop two orders of magnitude and endospores become more than 6000 times more abundant than vegetative cells. Methane is biologically produced and oxidized until sediments reach 80° to 85°C. In 100° to 120°C sediments, isotopic evidence and increased cell concentrations demonstrate the activity of acetate-degrading hyperthermophiles. Above 45°C, populated zones alternate with zones up to 192 meters thick where microbes were undetectable.</jats:p>

<title>Abstract</title>To explore a local relationship between geological structures and the occurrence of very-low-frequency earthquakes (VLFEs), a particular class of slow earthquakes with characteristic periods of 10–100 s, we investigated three-dimensional (3D) structural features using reprocessed 3D seismic data from the Nankai Trough off Kumano, southwestern Japan. In this region, VLFEs have been observed along the subducting Philippine Sea Plate. Although the detailed source distribution of VLFEs was estimated by means of recent land-based and offshore seismic networks, the relation with geological features is not well understood. First, we reprocessed the 3D seismic data with advanced techniques and reinterpreted the fault distribution in the sediment layer of the accretionary prism and tracked two key horizons: a décollement and the oceanic crust surface. In the accretionary prism sediments, multiple continuous reflectors of basal detachments in the underthrust sequence and conjugate faults cutting the shallow imbricated thrust sequence were identified. In contrast to the gentle variation in the décollement surface, the topographic relief of the oceanic crust was prominent, with ridges and surface displacement due to faults in the oceanic crust. Then, we compared the structural features with the VLFE source locations. Most VLFEs were located deep in the underthrust sediments where the sediments may consist of underconsolidated muds. Furthermore, a high spatial correlation was observed between the VLFE distribution and the oceanic crust topographic relief. The maximum stress direction, which was inferred from the conjugate faults in the imbricated thrust zone, was consistent with the spatial relation between the VLFE localization and the oceanic crust central ridge. Oceanic crust ridges may cause strain accumulation in the underthrust sediments on the landward sides of the ridges, and low-angle slow thrust movements might be caused using weak slip planes in the underthrust muddy sediments. That is, the topographic relief of the oceanic crust may control the occurrence of shallow VLFEs in the Nankai Trough.

<title>Abstract</title>
Sandy trench-fill sediments at accretionary margins are commonly scraped off at the frontal wedge and rarely subducted to the depth of high-pressure (HP) metamorphism. However, some ancient exhumed accretionary complexes are associated with high-pressure–low-temperature (HP-LT) metamorphic rocks, such as psammitic schists, which are derived from sandy trench-fill sediments. This study used sandbox analogue experiments to investigate the role of seafloor topography in the transport of trench-fill sediments to depth during subduction. We conducted two different types of experiments, with or without a rigid topographic high (representing a seamount). We used an undeformable backstop that was unfixed to the side wall of the apparatus to allow a seamount to be subducted beneath the overriding plate. In experiments without a seamount, progressive thickening of the accretionary wedge pushed the backstop down, leading to a stepping down of the décollement, narrowing of the subduction channel, and underplating of the wedge with subducting sediment. In contrast, in experiments with a topographic high, the subduction of the topographic high raised the backstop, leading to a stepping up of the décollement and widening of the subduction channel. These results suggest that the subduction of stiff topographic relief beneath an inflexible overriding plate might enable trench-fill sediments to be deeply subducted and to become the protoliths of HP-LT metamorphic rocks.

Abstract. The Chikyu Shallow Core Program (SCORE) has been started to provide
more opportunities for the scientific ocean drilling of shallow boreholes
(up to 100 m) during a short-term expedition. The proposal flow is a
simplified version of that of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).
Although there are several limitations for a SCORE project, the opportunity
to retrieve 100 m of continuous core samples will be of great interest for
the scientific ocean drilling community in multiple disciplines. The first
expedition of the SCORE program was implemented off Cape Erimo, Hokkaido,
northern Japan. The target of the drilling was to investigate the impact of
submarine mass transport on the subseafloor sedimentary biosphere. In the
preliminary observation of the core samples, including X-ray computed tomography (CT) scan image
analysis, chaotic and inclined beds were found and interpreted as mass
transport deposit (MTD) units.

<jats:p>Holes BA1B and BA3A were drilled into the Wadi Tayin Massif, southern ophiolite complex of Oman, a fragment of the Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the Arabian continent. Within the sequence, we have studied a portion of the shallow mantle, composed mainly of strongly serpentinised harzburgite that embeds dunitic levels, the biggest being over 150 m thick. The formation of thick dunitic channels, already approached via published structural and mathematical models, is here investigated with a mineral chemistry approach. We focused on Cr-spinel, the only widespread phase preserved during serpentinization, whose TiO2 content displays a wide variability from low in harzburgite, (TiO2 < 0.25 wt. %), typical of non-metasomatised ophiolite mantle, to moderately high in dunite (TiO2 < 1.10 wt. %) characterizing a rock/melt interactions. The high variability of TiO2, accompanied by similar patterns of Cr# and Mg# is observed, in a fractal pattern, at all scales of investigation, from the whole channel scale to the single thin section, where it affects even single grain zonings. Our results suggest that the over 150 m thick dunite channel here investigated was formed by coalescence of different scale melt channels and reaction zones with different sizes, confirming the published structural model.</jats:p>

Abstract. Imaging via pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) of reflection towed-streamer multichannel seismic (MCS) data at the scale of the whole crust is inherently difficult. This is because the depth penetration of the seismic wavefield is controlled, firstly, by the acquisition design, such as streamer length and air-gun source configuration, and secondly by the complexity of the crustal structure. Indeed, the limited length of the streamer makes the estimation of velocities from deep targets challenging due to the velocity–depth ambiguity. This problem is even more pronounced when processing 2-D seismic data due to the lack of multi-azimuthal coverage. Therefore, in order to broaden our knowledge about the deep crust using seismic methods, we present the development of specific imaging workflows that integrate different seismic data. Here we propose the combination of velocity model building using (i) first-arrival tomography (FAT) and full-waveform inversion (FWI) of wide-angle, long-offset data collected by stationary ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) and (ii) PSDM of short-spread towed-streamer MCS data for reflectivity imaging, with the former velocity model as a background model. We present an application of such a workflow to seismic data collected by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and the Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER) in the eastern Nankai Trough (Tokai area) during the 2000–2001 Seize France Japan (SFJ) experiment. We show that the FWI model, although derived from OBS data, provides an acceptable background velocity field for the PSDM of the MCS data. From the initial PSDM, we refine the FWI background velocity model by minimizing the residual move-outs (RMOs) picked in the pre-stack-migrated volume through slope tomography (ST), from which we generate a better-focused migrated image. Such integration of different seismic datasets and leading-edge imaging techniques led to greatly improved imaging at different scales. That is, large to intermediate crustal units identified in the high-resolution FWI velocity model extensively complement the short-wavelength reflectivity inferred from the MCS data to better constrain the structural factors controlling the geodynamics of the Nankai Trough.

Detailed reconstruction of Indian summer monsoons is necessary to better understand the late Quaternary climate history of the Bay of Bengal and Indian peninsula. We established a chronostratigraphy for a sediment core from Hole 19B in the western Bay of Bengal, extending to approximately 80 kyr BP and examined major and trace element compositions and clay mineral components of the sediments. Higher delta O-18 values, lower TiO2 contents, and weaker weathering in the sediment source area during marine isotope stages (MIS) 2 and 4 compared to MIS 1, 3, and 5 are explained by increased Indian summer monsoonal precipitation and river discharge around the western Bay of Bengal. Clay mineral and chemical components indicate a felsic sediment source, suggesting the Precambrian gneissic complex of the eastern Indian peninsula as the dominant sediment source at this site since 80 kyr. Trace element ratios (Cr/Th, Th/Sc, Th/Co, La/Cr, and Eu/Eu*) indicate increased sediment contributions from mafic rocks during MIS 2 and 4. We interpret these results as reflecting the changing influences of the eastern and western branches of the Indian summer monsoon and a greater decrease in rainfall in the eastern and northeastern parts of the Indian peninsula than in the western part during MIS 2 and 4.

<title>Abstract</title>The National Gas Hydrate Program Expedition 02 was conducted in early 2015 using the Drilling Vessel <italic>Chikyu</italic> in the western part of the Bay of Bengal, India. During drilling off Vishakhapatnam, NE India, some bottom-simulating reflectors were penetrated, and numerous mass-transport deposits (MTDs) were identified. The recovered cores were composed of post-late Miocene muddy slope deposits containing the late Miocene–Pliocene hiatus that is widespread in that region. Based on detailed visual core descriptions and calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, two major MTD-rich intervals were identified: the Pleistocene interval above the hiatus, and the middle–late Miocene interval below it. Although the MTDs in both intervals are composed of variously coloured clay–silt blocks in an olive-black or olive-grey silty clay matrix (muddy MTDs), the Pleistocene MTDs consist of larger-sized blocks (mostly less than a few metres but with some >10 m) without clear shear fabrics, whereas the Miocene MTDs contain smaller blocks (<0.1 m) with asymmetrical shear fabrics. The muddy blocks are composed of older components (Pliocene–Cretaceous) compared with the depositional ages of the MTDs. The high abundance of MTDs above the hiatus and the depositional ages of the interbedded coherent layers indicate that large-scale MTDs occurred repeatedly during the Pleistocene. Such repeated MTDs contributed to maintaining the high sedimentation rate in this area and potentially provided stable pressure and temperature conditions for the formation of gas hydrates.

Microbial life inhabits deeply buried marine sediments, but the extent of this vast ecosystem remains poorly constrained. Here we provide evidence for the existence of microbial communities in similar to 40 degrees to 60 degrees C sediment associated with lignite coal beds at similar to 1.5 to 2.5 km below the seafloor in the Pacific Ocean off Japan. Microbial methanogenesis was indicated by the isotopic compositions of methane and carbon dioxide, biomarkers, cultivation data, and gas compositions. Concentrations of indigenous microbial cells below 1.5 km ranged from <10 to similar to 10(4) cells cm(-3). Peak concentrations occurred in lignite layers, where communities differed markedly from shallower subseafloor communities and instead resembled organotrophic communities in forest soils. This suggests that terrigenous sediments retain indigenous community members tens of millions of years after burial in the seabed.

In order to estimate recent surface displacement in Bangkok, we applied persistent SAR interferometry using ALOS/PALSAR images acquired October 2007 to December 2010. Previously, land subsidence due to excessive ground water pumping has been reported in this region. However, we detected that ground surface has rebounded during 3 years of the observation period. This rebounded surface can be interpreted as the response on the ground water recovery to confined aquifer due to the decrease in ground water usage. Since the rebounded areas correspond to past ground subsidence areas inferred from differential SAR interferometry using JERS-1/SAR images, it can be inferred that ground water recovery has especially occurred at the preceding subsidence areas.

Development of slope failures at thrust fault scarps in analogue models: application to submarine landslides

記述言語：英語   掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）  

Sandbox models commonly produce slope failures and mass-transport on the top free surface, which can be an analogue for submarine slides. We have been conducting shortening experiments to model accretionary wedges at subduction margins under several basement configurations of the subducting plate. Slope failures periodically occur when thrust faults reach the top surface of the models. These failures are triggered by steepening of slopes related to the displacement along the underlying thrusts. Internal stress field and physical property of materials may have little impact on the pattern and geometry of failures. Experiments with a topographic relief (e.g., horst) in the basement produce irregular distribution in time of thrusting. Long-lived thrusts, generally initiate at the foot of topographic highs, tend to form longer slopes with thick piles of failed sediments in the footwall. These suggest that anomalous amount of failed sediments in accretionary wedge regions can be used to assume topographic relief in the basement that affected the geometry of detachment. When subducted, such detachment geometries may not be easy to recognize with geophysical technique.

A comparative study of fossil sliding masses and the results of analog experiments indicates the systematic accumulation of submarine sliding masses at subduction margins. An analysis of sliding masses in the Middle Miocene Hota accretionary complex, Central Japan, combined with the results of analog experiments that simulated an accretionary wedge, revealed two types of slope failures at the toe of the accretionary wedge or at the head of an out-of-sequence thrust: relatively small but frequently developed failures on the lower parts of the slope (Type I failures), and relatively large but less frequent failures that affect the entire slope (Type II failures). The Type I slides are precursors of the larger Type II failures. These successive failure processes are recorded in the Hota accretionary complex as the following depositional sequence: three thin conglomerate layers containing small clasts (type I failure deposits) are overlain by a thick slope-failure deposit containing larger clasts (type II). In such an environment, carbonate-cemented and brecciated sandstones, which contain web structures, generally form at depth and behave as competent layers during failure. Clasts of such sandstones are indicative of large slope failures and are found only in type II failure deposits. Type II failures affect the sediment to a depth of similar to 2-10 m, whereas type I failures are surficial (<1 m depth), as inferred from the results of analog experiments and field observations. This systematic pattern of slope failure is important in terms of understanding the formation mechanism of submarine slope failures and in predicting such failures.

Experimental research of plagioclase (rock)-gas-water interaction at hydrothermal conditions for CO<inf>2</inf> mineralization
Experiments on CO2-water-rock interaction at hydrothermal conditions have been performed to investigate mineral dissolution and precipitatior phenomena, mainly focusing on calcite deposition from the alteration of plagioclase and rocks during CO2 sequestration into geothermal fields. Plagioclase from Shiga and granodiorite from the Ogachi hot/dry rock field (7 g
grain size is 0.5 to 2 mm) were independently enclosed with Kyoto tap water in a Teflon reaction container. The container is filled with CO2 (10 MPa) or N2 gas after evacuating and heated up to 150 °C in an electric furnace with rotation (1 rpm). After 1 to 15 days, the solutions were analyzed for their chemical compositions after filtration and the mineral surfaces were observed by using SEM-EDS. The concentration of Ca in the solutions reacted with CO2 quickly increases within 1 day and is + ∼50 mg/L higher than those without CO2 (with N2 gas). The saturation index shows that the solutions with CO2 are saturated with respect to carbonate such as calcite and aragonite during the reaction. Newly formed calcium carbonate (possibly calcite) was detected by SEM-EDS observation on the plagioclase surfaces, but the other minerals such as kaolinite were not. These results indicate that Ca can be released from rocks (silicates) easily and might be removed as CaCO3 during CO2 sequestration into relatively high temperature (geothermal) fields. Also, Ca-rich plagioclase has a high potential of CO2 fixation as carbonate.

Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 314 was a milestone, both as the inaugural scientific drilling mission of the new vessel, Chikyu, and as the first step in the multistage Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE), an ambitious, coordinated, multiplatform, and multiexpedition drilling project designed to investigate fault mechanics and seismogenesis along subduction mega-thrusts through direct sampling, in situ measurements, and long-term monitoring. During Expedition 314, our primary goals were to obtain a comprehensive suite of geophysical logs and other downhole measurements at sites along a transect from the incoming plate to the Kumano forearc basin using state-of-the-art logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology. Drilling and logging was successfully completed at four sites, ranging in depth below the seafloor from 400 to 1400 m, with partial success at a fifth site. These sites included the frontal thrust and toe region of the outer accretionary prism near the trench, the fault zone and associated thrust sheet of a major out-of-sequence thrust system (the "megasplay" fault), 1 km thick forearc basin deposits, and highly deformed rocks of the interior of the accretionary prism. The principal goals of the LWD program were to document in situ physical properties
stratigraphie and structural features
sonic to seismic scale velocity data for core-log-seismic integration
and stress, pore pressure, and hydrological parameters through both scalar and imaging log measurements. All four sites are slated for continuous core sampling during subsequent IODP NanTroSEIZE expeditions. Depth objectives for this expedition ranged from ∼400 to 1400 meters below seafloor. Logging included the measurement of natural gamma radiation, azimuthal gamma ray density, neutron porosity, full waveform sonic velocity, azimuthal resistivity imaging, zero-offset vertical seismic profile, ultrasonic caliper, and annular fluid pressure, though not all logs in this suite were collected at all sites. Principal results of Expedition 314 include the following: 1. The megasplay thrust sheet is composed of highly deformed and fractured rocks that are anomalously well indurated relative to their present depth. 2. Present-day stress varies markedly along the NanTroSEIZE transect, and stresses in the upper 1.4 km are strongly compressional in the outer, active accretionary prism but extensional in the forearc basin. 3. The occurrence of gas hydrate as a cement preferentially located in sandy portions of turbidite beds above a bottom-simulating reflector was quantified. 4. Drilling at Sites C0001 and C0002 also provides important pilot hole information that will help prepare for the planned deep-riser sites for later stages of NanTroSEIZE drilling.

CO2 sequestration in a deep aquifer is considered one of the most effective method to solve Global warming. We must understand the behavior of injected CO2 to confirm long-term stability and economic efficiency of CO2 sequestration. We tried to monitor the behavior of gas, liquid and supercritical CO2 injected into water-saturated sandstone by measuring the resistivity of rock specimens. CO2 of gas, liquid, and supercritical phases was flushed through the sandstone specimens at three different flow rates. We could monitor the time-lapse behavior of CO2 in water-saturated sandstones. Also, we tried to convert the resistivity data to the CO2 saturation using Archie's equation. The saturations estimated from resistivity becomes nearly equal to the values calculated from actual outflow volumes. This result indicates the high reliability of electric exploration to monitor CO2 saturation. © 2005 Society of Exploration Geophysicists.

<title>Abstract</title>We report results of a study comparing numerical models of sandbox-type experiments. Two experimental designs were examined: (1) A brittle shortening experiment in which a thrust wedge is built in material of alternating frictional strength; and (2) an extension experiment in which a weak, basal viscous layer affects normal fault localization and propagation in overlying brittle materials. Eight different numerical codes, both commercial and academic, were tested against each other. Our results show that: (1) The overall evolution of all numerical codes is broadly similar. (2) Shortening is accommodated by in-sequence forward propagation of thrusts. The surface slope of the thrust wedge is within the stable field predicted by critical taper theory. (3) Details of thrust spacing, dip angle and number of thrusts vary between different codes for the shortening experiment. (4) Shear zones initiate at the velocity discontinuity in the extension experiment. The asymmetric evolution of the models is similar for all numerical codes. (5) Resolution affects strain localization and the number of shear zones that develop in strain-softening brittle material. (6) The variability between numerical codes is greater for the shortening than the extension experiment.

Comparison to equivalent analogue experiments shows that the overall dynamic evolution of the numerical and analogue models is similar, in spite of the difficulty of achieving an exact representation of the analogue conditions with a numerical model. We find that the degree of variability between individual numerical results is about the same as between individual analogue models. Differences among and between numerical and analogue results are found in predictions of location, spacing and dip angle of shear zones. Our results show that numerical models using different solution techniques can to first order successfully reproduce structures observed in analogue sandbox experiments. The comparisons serve to highlight robust features in tectonic modelling of thrust wedges and brittle-viscous extension.

<title>Abstract</title>We report a direct comparison of scaled analogue experiments to test the reproducibility of model results among ten different experimental modelling laboratories. We present results for two experiments: a brittle thrust wedge experiment and a brittleviscous extension experiment. The experimental set-up, the model construction technique, the viscous material and the base and wall properties were prescribed. However, each laboratory used its own frictional analogue material and experimental apparatus. Comparison of results for the shortening experiment highlights large differences in model evolution that may have resulted from (1) differences in boundary conditions (indenter or basal-pull models), (2) differences in model widths, (3) location of observation (for example, sidewall versus centre of model), (4) material properties, (5) base and sidewall frictional properties, and (6) differences in set-up technique of individual experimenters. Six laboratories carried out the shortening experiment with a mobile wall. The overall evolution of their models is broadly similar, with the development of a thrust wedge characterized by forward thrust propagation and by back thrusting. However, significant variations are observed in spacing between thrusts, their dip angles, number of forward thrusts and back thrusts, and surface slopes. The structural evolution of the brittle-viscious extension experiments is similar to a high degree. Faulting initiates in the brittle layers above the viscous layer in close vicinity to the basal velocity discontinuity. Measurements of fault dip angles and fault spacing vary among laboratories. Comparison of experimental results indicates an encouraging overall agreement in model evolution, but also highlights important variations in the geometry and evolution of the resulting structures that may be induced by differences in modelling materials, model dimensions, experimental set-ups and observation location.

<title>Abstract</title>Active accretionary prisms at subduction margins generally include a horizontal detachment, décollement, within the sedimentary pile. The décollement, and its extension to undeformed regions (i.e., proto-décollement), corresponds to a layer of high fluid pressure. The deformation of the prisms, including such an anomalous layer, can be modelled and examined using analogue experiments and numerical simulations. Both these methods approximate the material under deformation as an assembly of particles (grains). The décollement layer is found to be best modelled by intercalating a layer with smaller internal frictional coefficient than the surrounding materials corresponding to the sediments. Our analogue experiments with dry sand and microglass beads reproduce structural geometry similar to that of interpreted seismic profiles at the toe of the prisms. Thrust faults originate from the horizontal beads layer and propagate upward with a constant angle of about 30°. Each of the fault bends produces a series of minor back thrusts. A particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis revealed that the fault activity is characterized by intermittent reactivation and segmentation. The numerical simulations based on the distinct element method (DEM) were performed with similar kinematic settings and material properties as the analogue experiments. The numerical simulation results not only reproduce similar geometries as in the analogue experiments, but also show that the particle assembly experiences temporal variations in the deformation velocity and stress field as deformation propagates. This might be related to stick-slip motion of the frictional fault surfaces, which is a common feature of faulting during accretionary processes at subduction margins.

Regional stress has a significant impact on fault development during the formation of salt dome structures. To examine such effects of wrenching, we conducted a series of analog experiments of updoming using dry, granular materials and observed the deformation on the top free surface. The experiments included three deformation styles: (1) updoming followed by wrenching, (2) simultaneous updoming and wrenching, and (3) wrenching followed by updoming. In the first series of the experiments, the faults produced by simple updoming were overprinted by two strikeslip fault systems that were generated by the subsequent wrenching. The second series of experiments with the configuration of simultaneous updoming and wrenching generated normal faults in a direction perpendicular to relative extension by the wrench. In the third series of experiments, the Riedel and anti-Riedel shear faults formed by wrenching were deformed by the subsequent updoming and were overprinted by the faults related to the updoming. These experimental results are applied to the fault systems observed above dome structures in the United Arab Emirates region, where extensive faults in the northwest-southeast direction have developed. By analogy, these faults were probably formed during an updoming and simultaneous wrenching. The direction of simple shear inferred from a comparison of real faults and experimental results suggests that dextral wrenching caused by the Oman stress regime during the Late Cretaceous affected the region at the time of the updoming.

Structural deformation (e.g. folds and faults) of geological strata has been analyzed by analog modeling techniques for nearly a century. Recent knowledge suggests that sandbox experiment is the most appropriate to model brittle behavior of the upper crust. This type of physical experiments using granular materials can also be done as numerical simulation (digital modeling) on the computer with the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Two types of geological settings, the extension case and the contraction case, are investigated and compared with the sandbox experiments results. It is concluded that the DEM approach to the geological deformation study can be a powerful tool to simulate fault related structures.

Fault geometry is a primary control on hangingwall deformation. In this study, a series of inversion analogue experiments was conducted by using rigid fault surfaces of spoon-like true 3D geometries. The hangingwall geometry on serial sections of the experiments was then examined with conventional 2D geometric models. The deformation geometry of the hangingwall has an along-strike variation corresponding to the 3D geometry of the underlying detachment. The apparent shear plane inclination and the estimated shortening also show a systematic change along strike. These changes suggest that the hangingwall displacement had an along-strike element during deformation
the hangingwall material moves from the regions above salients to those above embayments in the detachment surface during contraction. The data presented in this paper help us understand 3D geometric relations between the hangingwall deformation and the underlying detachment surfaces.

The understanding of formation properties in the mantle is relatively frontier subject in the geosciences research. To achieve the mantle sampling in the near future, Oman Drilling Project was carried out as a part of the International Continental scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) from 2017 to 2018, and both drilling and full coring operation were conducted at the former mantle-crust boundary (now exposed). Full suite of wireline log data was acquired with good quality in the drilling well and excellent quality core samples were continuously taken in the coring borehole nearby. To obtain the continuous geochemical composition of formation, the advanced pulsed neutron spectroscopy well logging was conducted first ever in scientific drilling project. The closure model, specific to igneous rocks, was applied for the spectroscopy log data processing and the result was quantitatively validated with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements of the core samples with the complex mineralogy of ultramafic igneous rock, such as Oman Ophiolites. Then a mineralogical quantitative interpretation was carried out with the dry weight fraction of formation elements, and the results agreed with the core lithological description. This study confirmed that pulsed neutron spectroscopic measurements were key alternatives for continuous mineralogical quantification of igneous rocks, even without core samples, in the future mantle drilling project.
