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

Any effective volcanic risk mitigation strategy requires a scientific assessment of the future
evolution of a volcanic system and its eruptive behavior. Some consider the onus should be …

Abstract The Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) with 49 eruptive centres in the last c. 250 ka
presents many challenges to our understanding of distributed volcanic field construction and …

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 …

Mt. Taranaki is an andesitic stratovolcano in the western North Island of New Zealand. Its
magmas show slab-dehydration signatures and over the last 200 kyr they show gradually …

Abstract The~ 16-ka-long record of explosive eruptions from Shiveluch volcano (Kamchatka,
NW Pacific) is refined using geochemical fingerprinting of tephra and radiocarbon ages …

The> 25 ka volcaniclastic ring-plain succession in south-west Taranaki has been remapped
to establish a much more detailed understanding of the older stratigraphic record of Mt …

Although analyses of tephra-derived glass shards have been undertaken in New Zealand
for nearly four decades (pioneered by Paul Froggatt), our study is the first to systematically …

ABSTRACT Tephra deposits in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) have been studied for> 180
years. The now-global discipline of tephrochronology, which has some developmental roots …

Evacuation is often a necessary volcanic risk mitigation measure. However, the focus is
typically on primary evacuation from immediate life safety from the eruption, compared to …
