説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper presents the chemical composition (including H2O and CO2) of matrix glass, melt inclusions in phenocrysts, and their host minerals in eruptive products from Aso caldera. We found a group of melt inclusions with clearly lower potassium (0.6–2 wt % K2O at 50–70 wt % SiO2) than previously reported high-K2O whole-rock compositions (3–5 wt % K2O at 55–70 wt % SiO2). While most of the high-K2O intermediate to felsic melt inclusions are vapor undersaturated and show the features of H2O, CO2, and K2O accumulation, the low-K2O basaltic melt already has higher H2O and CO2. We reconcile this discrepancy with a model in which (1) the volatile-rich basalt magmas degas near the surface, (2) migrate back to depths of $\ge$12 km in the crust, and (3) crystallize feldspar and quartz to produce high-K2O felsic melt, (4) magma mixing among the undegassed, degassed, and evolved magmas. By crystallization, about five times as much low-K2O basaltic magma is required to produce high-K2O felsic magma. The quantity of felsic magma ejected from 270 ka (Aso-1) to 90 ka (Aso-4) requires a basalt magma supply rate of 18 to 31 km3/ka. This magma supply rate is comparable to or less than the present-day production rate of degassed magma (73 km3/ka) at an active center of Aso, Nakadake. These findings suggest volcanic gas flux monitoring has the potential to be a ‘basalt usage meter’ during the dormant period of caldera volcanoes.</jats:p>
