日本及び世界の火山データベースの現状と展望(＜特集＞火山噴火史解明のための露頭データベース構築の検討(2))

抄録

Volcano databases of Japan and the world are reviewed to determine the present status of the databases and future course of action to make them more useful and relevant for volcanic hazard risk mitigation and related scientific endeavors. The reviewed volcano databases in Japan are the (1) National catalogue of the active volcanoes in Japan (fourth edition), (2) Volcanoes of Japan, (3) Database of Quaternary volcanic and intrusive rock bodies in Japan, (4) Image database for volcanoes, (5) Catalogue of Quaternary volcanoes in Japan, (6) Database on volcanic hazard maps and reference material, (7) visualization system for volcanic activity (VIVA ver. 2), (8) Volcanic activities in Japan (JMA), (9) Database of submarine volcanoes in Japan, (10) Hayakawa's one million-year tephra database, (11) Basic information links of Japanese volcanoes, (12) Atlas of tephra in and around Japan, and (13) Inventory of Quaternary outcrops. On the other hand, the reviewed volcano databases in the world are the (1) Volcanoes of the world (Smithsonian VGP), (2) Volcanic global risk identification and analysis project (VOGRIPA), (3) WOVOdat, (4) Significant volcanic eruption database, (5) Volcanic ash advisory database, (6) Global volcanoes locations database, (7) Volcanic eruption database, (8) Volcano hazards program, (9) Volcano deformation database, (10) Collapse caldera database, (11) Vhub, (12) Michigan Tec. volcanoes page, (13) Volcano world, (14) Nordic volcanological center, (15) ASTER volcano archive, (16) EarthChem, (17) Volcanic disaster and incidents database, (18) Damaging volcanoes database, (19) Global volcano hazard frequency and distribution database, and (20) Global database of composite volcano morphometry. The Asia-Pacific region global earthquake and volcanic eruption risk management (G-EVER) consortium is promoting the (1) Volcanic hazard assessment support system, (2) Asia-Pacific region earthquake and volcanic hazard information system, and (3) Indonesia volcano information system. Furthermore, the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) and Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) started the Geoinformation Sharing Infrastructure for East and Southeast Asia (GSi) project. The future version of the volcano databases will be developed based on the aforementioned volcano databases, current advances in information technology and internationally accepted standards.
