Tephrochronology (from tephra, Gk 'ashes') is a unique stratigraphic method for linking,
dating, and synchronizing geological, palaeoenvironmental, or archaeological sequences or …

Little has challenged our understanding of climate change more so than the abruptness with
which large-scale shifts in temperature occurred during the Late Quaternary. The causal …

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry presents a concise AZ description of
inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, written in layman's terms, for use in the …

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 define tephras and cryptotephras and their components (mainly ash-sized particles of
glass±crystals in distal deposits) and summarize the basis of tephrochronology as a …

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanning is a relatively new arrangement of a classic
analytical technique which allows for non-destructive, in situ XRF analysis of sediment cores …

This paper reviews the results of fifty years of tephra studies in the Mediterranean basin. The
tephrostratigraphy of the Eastern Mediterranean is defined well and has been developed in …

Timescales of magma chamber assembly and recharge are investigated here by applying
1D and 2D diffusion modeling techniques to high-resolution maps of titanium in quartz from …

A model is presented to describe the degassing behaviour of sulphur and chlorine at the
Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat, using both geochemical analyses of glass and remote …

The precise sequence of events during the Last Termination (18 000–9000 ka 14C yr BP),
and the extent to which major environmental changes were synchronous, are difficult to …
