Experimental petrology & Isotope geochemistry Male, born in 1966, married. Graduated from the dept. of Mining Geol., Akita univ. Earth&Planet.Science, Tokyo Inst.Tech.(Ph.D)

• Hydrogen isotope study on hornblende
• Water content in magmas
• Water solubility in silicate melts
• Hydrogen analysis using SIMS
• Magma dehydration processes

My interest is in any of those related to magmatic water. In recent years paricular emphasis has been placed on measureing water solubility in aluminosilicate melts. My current srudy is to understand the mechanisms of explosive magma eruption via microscopic water analysis on eruptive products.
