	Unzen Volcano, Japan
		This is a space radar image of the area around the Unzen volcano, on the west coast of Kyushu Island in southwestern Japan.
		Unzen, which appears in this image as a large triangular peak with a white flank near the center of the peninsula, has been continuously active since a series of powerful eruptions began in 1991.
		Unzen is one of 15 "Decade" volcanoes identified by the scientific community as posing significant potential threats to large local populations.

		The hot spring of Unzen is characterized by its sulfurous hot water with high acidity (pH: 2.0 - 2.2), which is uniquely high comparing to hot springs in Europe where the hot spring treatment is actively performed.
		Unzen's hot spring is known by its component of hot water such as "acid hydrogen sulfide spring", "aluminiferous spring including hydrogen sulfide" or "ferrous sulfate spring" but it is generally called "sulfurous hot spring".
		It is also noted that the Unzen hot spring is effective to facial treatment as well as effective against chronic rheumatism, diabetes, neuralgic pain, muscle pain, joint pain, and fatigue with health-promoting benefits.

	Mount Unzen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Unzen (jp: 雲仙岳 Unzendake) is an active volcano near the city of Shimabara, Nagasaki Prefecture, on the Japanese island of Kyushu.
		The volcano was designated a Decade Volcano in 1991 as part of the United Nations' International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, due to its history of violent activity and location in a densely populated area.
		In 1999, an ambitious project began at Mt. Unzen to drill deep inside the volcano and sample magma in the 1990–1995 eruption conduit.

		Unzen argues that Richard, as a matter of law, was not negligent and that the circuit court therefore erred by denying her motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, alternatively, a new trial.
		Unzen challenges the jury's apportionment of negligence, contending that Richard was not negligent.
		Unzen argues that Overhead Door's original negligence in dropping the ladder on the bridge caused all subsequent events and was the sole proximate cause of Richard's death.

	CVO Website - Unzen Volcano, Japan
		Fugen-dake and Mayu-yama volcanoes in the east-central portion of the andesitic-to-dacitic Unzen volcanic complex have been active during the Holocene.
		Unzen is one of more than 75 active volcanoes in Japan; its eruption in 1792 killed more than 15,000 people -- the worst volcanic disaster in the country's history.
		Combined with destabilization of old debris on Unzen's upper slopes owing to the death of vegetation, these deposits are a ready source of loose debris for generating lahars during rainstorms.

	The Pine Journal - Cloquet, Minnesota
		Unzen, who worked for the Minnesota Department of Transportation, fell 130 feet into Superior Bay after being struck by a vehicle as he stopped to remove a ladder that had fallen into the bridge’s roadway.
		As Unzen attempted to pull the ladder from the traffic lanes, a Chevy Blazer driven by Carswell approached the scene, attempted to stop and locked his brakes while coming to a stop in the left lane, basically blocking traffic.
		Due to the alleged actions of the defendants, Unzen “experienced pain and suffering of body and mind prior to his death,” and Gloria Unzen “sustained pecuniary injury, loss of society and companionship, medical expense in the amount of approximately $3,000,” with other expenses totaling around $12,000.

		Unzen Volcano in southwest Japan, which erupted from 1991 to 1995, is a good example.
		During its recent four-year eruption, Unzen oozed lava at the rate of 2 cubic meters-about the volume of an office desk-every second of every day.
		Thousands of avalanches tumbled down the slopes of Unzen Volcano during its four-year eruption, killing 44 people and burying 10 square kilometers of the downslope city of Shimabara.

	Conduits and Interiors of Active Volcanoes: Unzen Scientific Drilling Project I - Volcanology, Geochemistry, Petrology ...
		Unzen volcano is an active volcano in SW Japan, and its 1990-95 eruption caused the frequent dome-collapse-type pyroclastic flows and associated debris flows.
		Unzen volcano is an active volcano composed of lava domes, thick lava flows and pyroclastic deposits of hornblende andesite to dacite.
		During the phase I of the Unzen Scientific Drilling Project (USDP), two drillings were conducted at the northeastern (USDP-1: 752 m depth) and eastern (USDP-2: 1463 m depth) flanks of the volcano, respectively, to fully recover accumulated deposits of the volcano hidden beneath the younger eruptives.

	Geotimes — March 2004 — Looking Into a Volcano: Drilling Unzen
		Because modern eruption forecasts rely on interpretation of geophysical signals emanating from volcanic conduits — in particular, microseismicity, surface deformation, and gas and thermal emissions — understanding conduits will inevitably lead to improved interpretation of premonitory signals and hence to reduction in losses of life and property during volcanic crises.
		A lava eruption at its summit in 1792 was followed by catastrophic collapse into the sea of Mayuyama, a subsidiary dome, which took part of the town with it and caused a tsunami that killed some 15,000 people.
		Unzen’s earliest history was explosive, but, for much of its life, its petrology and behavior have been similar to that of the modern Unzen.

		Unzen is also discussed in Chapter 6 as an example of a witnessed large debris avalance in a major eruption in 1792; 15,190 were killed in related tsunamis.
		Effusion of dacite lava had continued for about 4 years, resulting in the formation of a lava dome at the summit and frequent generation of Merapi-type pyroclastic flows.

		One of the axes presumed to have arranged like the group of a wild goose in the Beppu-Shimabara graben is the Unzen graben that is crossing the central part of the Shimabara peninsula.

		John Eichelberger, one of the principal investigators for the project and a colleague of Vogel, said he first became interested in drilling into Unzen after its period of restlessness in the early 1990s.
		Unzen was chosen for this particular project because of the dual nature of its eruptions.
		One reason why Patino and Vogel are participating in the Unzen project is because they have access to a special piece of equipment called a mass spectrometer.

		Mt. Unzen is most well-known among scientists for its most abundant and destructive feature: the pyroclastic flow.
		The eruptions that occurred between 1991 and 1996 at Mt. Unzen exemplify this type of dome collapse - pyroclastic flow pattern.
		The magma supply to the Unzen structure is andesitic to dacitic in composition; essentially, the silica content of the magma is relatively high, yielding a lava with high viscosity and thick, pasty physical characteristics [25].
