Plagioclase is one of the nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) which accommodates hydrogen, and plagioclase in volcanic rocks essentially contains structural OH in it. Hydrogen concentration in NAMs can be a useful proxy for dissolved H2O in silicate melts if the partitioning of hydrogen between plagioclase and melts is known. Here, we performed two parts of studies in order to determine hydrogen partitioning between plagioclase and hydrous basaltic melt: (i) analyses of low-H2O melt inclusions (H2O ≈ 0.3 wt.%) hosted by plagioclase in mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) and (ii) hydrogen partitioning experiments between Ca-rich plagioclase (An95) and hydrous arc basaltic melt (0.8 ~ 5.5 wt.% H2O) at 0.35 GPa. Obtained formulation is
Hydrogen in plagioclase (wt. ppm water) ≈ 94.3×√(H2O in melt, wt.%).
This empirical formulation can be used as a practical hygrometer of magmas. In this poster, we apply this formulation to understand the 1986-1987 summit eruption of Izu-Oshima volcano, a frontal-arc volcano in Izu arc, and discuss eruption process of H2O-saturated magma.

☞ Peak of infrared absorption spectra of plagioclase shifts from lower wavenumbers (peak position: 3200-3400 cm-1) under H2O-poor conditions to higher wavenumbers (peak position: 3600 cm-1) under H2O-rich conditions, meaning expansion of O-H⋯O bond length with increasing H2O. These observations suggest that hydrogen site in plagioclase slightly changes with increasing H2O, which also changes hydrogen partitioning between plagioclase and melt as shown above.

☞ High hydrogen concentration in plagioclase from Izu-Oshima volcano, a frontal-arc volcano in Izu arc (≥200 wt. ppm water, Hamada et al., 2011 EPSL), suggests crystallization of plagioclase from H2O-rich (≥4 wt.%) melt.

☞ H concentration in plagioclase can be approximated as a square root of H2O in melt. Decreasing temperature lowers H concentration in plagioclase. However, the effect of temperature is minor.
