Milankovitch frequencies in tephra records at volcanic arcs: The relation of kyr-scale cyclic variations in volcanism to global climate changes
The increase in volcanic activity after the last glacial maximum observed on Iceland has led
to one of the most fascinating hypothesis in science in the last decades: that deglaciation …
