  Abstract While microbial biogeochemical activities such as those involving denitrification and sulfate reduction have been considered to play important roles in material cycling in various aquatic ecosystems, our current understanding of the microbial community in groundwater ecosystems is remarkably insufficient. To assess the groundwater in the Ryukyu limestone aquifer of Okinawa Island, which is located in the southernmost region of Japan, we performed metagenomic analysis on the microbial communities at the three sites and screened for functional genes associated with nitrogen metabolism. 16S rRNA amplicon analysis showed that bacteria accounted for 94–98% of the microbial communities, which included archaea at all three sites. The bacterial communities associated with nitrogen metabolism shifted by month at each site, indicating that this metabolism was accomplished by the bacterial community as a whole. Interestingly, site 3 contained much higher levels of the denitrification genes such as narG and napA than the other two sites. This site was thought to have undergone denitrification that was driven by high quantities of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). In contrast, site 2 was characterized by a high nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) content and a low amount of DOC, and this site yielded a moderate amount of denitrification genes. Site 1 showed markedly low amounts of all nitrogen metabolism genes. Overall, nitrogen metabolism in the Ryukyu limestone aquifer was found to change based on environmental factors.

• Petrology of the Miocene Tomari volcanic rocks in the SN-010 deep core from the Shimokita Peninsula in northern Japan and its correlation to the surface geology

  　View Summary

  <p>The Tomari volcanic rocks were products of the Middle Miocene volcanic front of the NE Japan arc. The volcanic activity has been divided into four stages with five lithologies, as assessed from surface geology. Eruptive rocks of Stage I (oldest) are the Kanatsuyama Andesite, the lower and upper units of Stage II are the Gassan Andesite and Tomari Basalt, respectively, Stage III comprises the Takahoko Andesite, and Stage IV is the Fukkoshi Andesite. Coring investigation was conducted on the northwestern side of the exposed Tomari volcanic rocks on central Shimokita Peninsula, Aomori Prefecture, in the northern NE Japan arc during 2014–2016. In the SN-010 core, the Tomari volcanic rocks occur from the bottom of the core at 1484 m below the surface to 308 m below the surface; the lower boundary of the volcanic rocks was not penetrated in the SN-010 borehole. We collected eight samples from the core and described their petrological characteristics to correlate the volcanic stages of the Tomari volcanic rocks between the core and surface geology.</p><p>Modal compositions, especially abundant olivine phenocrysts and the occurrence of chromium-spinel, define the Tomari Basalt as a rock with a unique signature within the exposed Tomari volcanic rocks. The Tomari Basalt includes a primitive basalt characterized by high whole-rock contents of MgO, Cr, and Ni compared with the other Tomari volcanic rocks. The SN-010 core samples at a depth of ~1003 m have similar petrological characteristics to those of the Tomari Basalt, except that olivine phenocrysts in the core samples are perfectly altered.</p><p>LILE/HFSE ratios, such as Ba/Nb, change below 1197.86 m (deep core samples) and above 1003.35 m (shallow core samples) in the SN-010 core. Ratios for shallow core samples are similar to those for surface samples. HFSE/HFSE ratios, such as Zr/Nb, show similar values among deep, shallow, and surface samples, indicating a cognate source mantle. These findings imply changes in the slab-derived component during magma generation associated with the opening of the Japan Sea.</p>

  <p>ホウ素同位体は，河川水や地下水中の汚染物質の定量的評価など，環境問題の解決に有効なトレーサーである。同位体分析の正確度を評価するためには，マトリックスが類似し値付けされた標準物質（RM）が必要である。しかし，ホウ素濃度の保証値はあるものの，同位体組成が既知の標準物質はまだ少ない。今回，河川水（NMIJ CRM 7202-c, JSAC 0301-4a）および水道水（NMIJ CRM 7203-a）の日本産認証標準物質（CRM）のホウ素同位体組成を初めて報告する。あわせて，0.1 mLの陽イオン交換樹脂カラムのみを用いた，環境水からのホウ素の簡便な分離法も開発した。この方法は煩雑な分離を簡略化したもので，ホウ素の回収率は97％以上，マトリックス元素の分離効率は98％以上である。δ¹¹B値は7202-cが−8.81±0.19‰，0301-4aが14.33±0.49‰，7203-aが17.86±0.28‰である。また，応用例として市販されている4種類のペットボトル水（富士山，六甲，阿蘇山，久米島）を分析した。報告した分離方法は，簡便かつ短時間での処理であり，ブランクレベルも低く，ホウ素の測定効率を向上させることができる。</p>

  We performed petrologic study on eruption products of the Goshikitake, the newest edifice of Zao volcano, and obtained following results. (1) By examining whole rock and mineral chemistry, couple with mineral texture, we revealed the shallow magma chamber located ca. 6 km depth and was rather heterogeneous. (2) The diffusion calculations based on chemical zoning of orthopyroxene phenocrysts indicated that the longest residence time of the phenocrysts in the chamber after the injection of deeper mafic magmas was more than ca. 50 years and most frequently one was less than several years. (3) Sr isotopic analyses revealed eruption products from Okama crater has different origin from the other eruption products of Goshikidake.

  　View Summary

  Chokai volcano is a Quaternary stratovolcano in NE Japan. The newest collapse was at BC466 and a caldera was formed. Effusion of lavas in this caldera has continued intermittently to present. This volcano erupted (Jougan eruption) after the Jougan big earthquake. Thus, after 2011 Tohoku earthquake, it is important to examine the geologic and petrologic features around Jougan eruption to predict future eruption. Detailed volcano stratigraphic analysis reveald that the eruption rate decreased and the compositions of mafic magma were changed after the Jougan earthquake. By the petrologic investigations revealed followings. The magma plumbing system is composed of shallow chamber filled by lower temperature magma which was repeatedly infused by mafic magmas from depths, which resulted in the eruptions. The time scales from the infusions to th eruptions are estimated to be less than several years. The compositions of the mafic magma changed at the timing of the Jogan earthquake.
