| Scope |
Prof. Kuno made
enduring contributions to the volcanology through the study of
Hakone volcano, and to the development of mantle petrology through
the study of ultramafic nodule. He proposed an excellent model on
the magma genesis in the subduction zone before the establishment of
the plate tectonics, and his model stimulated the development of the
high pressure experimental petrology. He was anxious to analyze the
lunar rocks recovered through Apollo 11 project, but could not make
it by his demise on August 6, 1969. On the occasion of the 100th
anniversary of his birth, recent development in the above broad
fields will be discussed. |
