Abstract The South China Sea offers an excellent case for studying source-to-sink transport
processes of fluvial sediments among the global marginal seas. This study synthesizes …

Most volcanic ash particles with diameters< 63μm settle from eruption clouds as particle
aggregates that cumulatively have larger sizes, lower densities, and higher terminal fall …

The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known.
Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous …

Volcanism is one of the main mechanisms transferring mass and energy between the
interior of the Earth and the Earth's surface. However, the global mass flux of lava, volcanic …

The South China Sea is the largest low‐latitude marginal sea on the globe. For a long time,
researchers from various fields have been curious about the sea. For instance, geologists …

Titanium diffusion profiles in quartz crystals are widely applied to constrain the duration of
magmatic processes. However, experimentally determined Ti diffusion coefficients in quartz …

Iron is a key micronutrient for phytoplankton growth in the surface ocean. Yet the
significance of volcanism for the marine biogeochemical iron-cycle is poorly constrained …

This paper reviews the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment
budgets in sedimentary research. Sediments are a product of mass dispersal at the Earth …

This review focuses on the recognition of volcanic ash occurrences in marine sediment
cores and on using their appearance and properties to deduce their origin. Widespread …

We suggest that the Tambora 1815 eruption was smaller than previously thought, yielding
30–33 km3 of magma. Valuable insight into the eruption is gained by comparing it to the …
