Alteration type and thermoluminescence ages of altered rocks in the Mutsu-Hiuchidake volcanic field, Shimokita peninsula, NE Japan

Abstract: Mutsu Hiuchidake Volcano has an erosion caldera which shows a horseshoe like geomorphological feature toward east. Tertiary strata as a basement are distributed in the caldera. Tertialy strata and a part of pyroclastic deposits of the Mutsu Hiuchidake Volcano have altered strongly to moderately by hydrothermal activities related to the volcanism. This study is to clarify a progress history of the alteration by using a geological mapping, thermoluminescence (TL) dating, x ray diffraction analysis, an infrared r… Show more

“…The highest recorded temperature of hot water was 228.5 • C at 1700 m depth within the well N59-SK-6 ( Figure 2) [17]. The area was selected for the present study because it shows several signs of geothermal activity, such as alteration zones and fumaroles relating to hydrothermal alteration [17,18], and is therefore considered suitable for geothermal development. The area within the erosion caldera is subsequently referred to as the Mutsu Hiuchi Dake geothermal field.…”

“…Mutsu Hiuchi Dake East Slope Fault is located closer to the summit-and hence closer to the center of the heat source-than are the geothermal wells drilled during previous surveys (Figures 2 and 3), which heightens the expectation that this location could be endowed with a geothermal resource of even higher temperature than those previously observed. Additionally, it is known that there are hydrothermal alteration zones relating to geothermal activities scattered across the Mutsu Hiuchi Dake geothermal field ( Figure 3) [17,18]. Tomiyama et al conducted detailed surveys of alteration zones in the Mutsu Hiuchi Dake geothermal field, and specified the distribution of silicified alteration zones ( Figure 3) [18].…”
