  1. Volcano observations with ASTER and ASTER image database for volcanoes Urai, Minoru Geological Survey of Japan, AIST

  2. Topics • Introduction • Overview of ASTER instruments • Volcano monitoring with ASTER • Volcanic gas monitoring : Miyake-jima, Japan • Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise • ASTER image database for volcanoes • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Resent volcanic hazard • Eyjafjallajokull 2010 : Over 100,000 flights cancelled • Merapi 2006 : 17,000 people were evacuated • Two people were killed by a pyroclasic flow • Pinatubo 1991 : Up to 800 people were killed • In 1992 and 1993, the average temperature in the Northern Hemisphere was reduced 0.5 to 0.6°C • Historic volcanic hazard • Tambora 1815 : 92,000people were killed • Unzen 1792 : 15,000 people were killed

  4. Introduction • ASTER can be used for volcano observations • Topographic and geologic analysis, • Mapping volcanic products, • Eruption plume analysis, • Discolored sea water and crater lake monitoring, • Generating digital elevation models, • Surface temperature mapping,

  5. Overview of ASTER Launch date18DEC1999 Platform Terra satellite Orbit 16days polar orbit Observation time 10:30AM Data recorder yes Subsystems VNIR, SWIR,TIR Stereo function yes Total bands 14+1 Swath width 60km Lifetime 6 years Acquired scene Over 1,800,000 scenes

  6. Overview of ASTER • ASTER has nadir (3N) and backward (3B) looking views. • 3N and 3B compose a stereoscopic pair. • A DEM can be generated from the stereoscopic pair. • However, DEM can not be generated cloud covered area and a DEM covers 60 km by 60 km. ASTER stereo image function. (http://www.ersdac.or.jp/GDEM/E/2.html)

  7. Volcanic gas monitoring : Miyake-jima, Japan • Miyake-jima is located about 180km south of Tokyo • SO2-rich plume absorb thermal emission from sea at 8.6µm • Cyan color indicates that temperature derived from band 11 is lower than others ASTER TIR RGB : 11, 13, 14 On November 8, 2000

  9. Volcanic gas monitoring : Miyake-jima, Japan ASTER stereo pair Atmospheric profile ASTER TIR B13 B11 Plume height and wind velocity analysis MODTRAN Sea surface temperature Plume height MODTRAN Wind velocity SO2 flux estimation 2D- SO2 distribution SO2 flux

  10. Volcanic gas monitoring : Miyake-jima, Japan The estimation of two-dimensional SO2 distribution

  11. Volcanic gas monitoring : Miyake-jima, Japan The estimation of SO2 flux SO2 flux (ton/day) Distance from the vent (km)

  12. Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise • Piton de la Fournaiseis one of the most active volcanoes located on the French island of Reunion in the western Indian Ocean. • There are three calderas that were formed by progressive eastward slumping of the volcano.

  13. Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise On April 2, 2007, a new 1 km long vent opened at 650 m altitude in the southern part of Grand Brule. The lava flows reached the sea. On April 5 to 6 and over the whole following day, the summit (Dolomieu) crater floor collapsed. ASTER VNIR image taken on June 8, 2005

  14. Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise April 17, 2007 October 31, 2006

  15. Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise May 6, 2007 (after eruption) June 8, 2005 (before eruption) VNIR images with 100 m contour

  16. Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise E-W ASTER DEM profile Depression : 320 m at most Total volume : 9.6 107 m3 ASTER DEM difference

  17. Caldera collapse and lava flow : Piton de la Fournaise New lava deposit area : 3.85 km2 Surface temperature distribution derived from ASTER nighttime observed on May 4, 2007 superimposed on ASTER daytime image observed on June 8, 2005

  21. Conclusions • The ASTER’s ability to monitor volcanic activities, such as thermal anomalies, topographic changes, volcanic gases, among others, has been validated. • A web-based ASTER Image Database Volcanoes is opened to the public (http://igg01.gsj.jp/vsidb/image/index-E.html). The database contains all ASTER images of 964 active volcanoes.
