Summary:

Nishimura (geophysics, Tohoku U.) and Iguchi (volcano research and disaster prevention, Kyoto U.) synthesize what is known about volcanic phenomena at Japan's 108 active volcanoes from research in such solid geophysics disciplines as seismology and crustal mechanics and in other fields such as planetary science and various specialties of geology. They cover observation systems, the classification of volcanic earthquakes and tremors, source regions and mechanisms, seismic and volcanic activity, and volcanic earthquakes and tremors observed at the principal volcanoes in Japan.
