Continuous observations of geomagnetic total intensity have been carried out on many active volcanoes<br />

(e.g., Tanaka, 1993; Del Negro et al., 2004). Geomagnetic field variations observed at many volcanoes<br />

suggest stress changes, temperature changes and/or inside those volcanoes. Such volcanomagnetic<br />

effects are largely controlled by a behavior of volcanic fluids or hydrothermal systems that transport<br />

heat and mass from the deep source. Therefore we have developed a postprocessor to calculate the<br />

geomagnetic field changes due to the piezomagnetic effect caused by hydrothermal pressurization.<br />

Here, we used a 3-D, steady state, poroelastic model, because of the lack of symmetry in stressinduced<br />

magnetization. Our method of piezomagnetic modeling are summarized as follows; (1) we<br />

computed the elastic effective stress field with the spatial distribution of body forces (due to both<br />

gravity and seepage force) and appropriate boundary conditions using the finite element method. (2)<br />

On the basis of this calculated elastic effective stress field, distributions of the stress-induced<br />

magnetization were estimated from a linear relationship between the magnetization changes and the<br />

stress components (Sasai, 1980). (3) Piezomagnetic changes were calculated by using the method<br />

proposed by Sasai and Ishikawa (1978). In this study, we carried out numerical experiments on the<br />

effect of host-rock permeability and the influence of caprock, as a factor to change the physical state<br />

within the volcanic edifice.<br />
