Abstract
A Mw = 6.4 earthquake, possibly related to submarine volcanism, occurred on October 23, 2006, in the vicinity of Monday Seamount, located in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc. Despite the size of the earthquake, the precise location of aftershocks is intractable with the routine data processing because of poor station coverage and complex waveforms traversing the oceanic lithosphere. This study overcomes these problems by using the Broadband Ocean Bottom Seismometer (BBOBS) array data with better azimuthal coverage and by developing new methods to detect the P-wave arrival time to locate the aftershocks precisely. Most of the relocated epicenters are located in the rift zone next to the edifice of the seamount. We interpret this pattern as the seismic activity induced by stress perturbation due to the dike intrusion.
期刊介绍:

Submission of papers covering the following aspects of volcanology and geothermal research are encouraged:
(1) Geological aspects of volcanic systems: volcano stratigraphy, structure and tectonic influence; eruptive history; evolution of volcanic landforms; eruption style and progress; dispersal patterns of lava and ash; analysis of real-time eruption observations.
(2) Geochemical and petrological aspects of volcanic rocks: magma genesis and evolution; crystallization; volatile compositions, solubility, and degassing; volcanic petrography and textural analysis.
(3) Hydrology, geochemistry and measurement of volcanic and hydrothermal fluids: volcanic gas emissions; fumaroles and springs; crater lakes; hydrothermal mineralization.
(4) Geophysical aspects of volcanic systems: physical properties of volcanic rocks and magmas; heat flow studies; volcano seismology, geodesy and remote sensing.
(5) Computational modeling and experimental simulation of magmatic and hydrothermal processes: eruption dynamics; magma transport and storage; plume dynamics and ash dispersal; lava flow dynamics; hydrothermal fluid flow; thermodynamics of aqueous fluids and melts.
(6) Volcano hazard and risk research: hazard zonation methodology, development of forecasting tools; assessment techniques for vulnerability and impact.
