In recent years, increased awareness of the considerable potential offered by
tephrochronology in palaeoclimatic studies has fuelled a renewed interest in the tephra …

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 …

From its Icelandic origins in the study of visible tephra horizons, tephrochronology took a
remarkable step in the late 1980 s with the discovery of a ca. 4300‐year‐old microscopic …

Tephra is a unique volcanic product with an unparalleled role in understanding past
eruptions, long-term behavior of volcanoes, and the effects of volcanism on climate and the …

Building chronological frameworks for proxy sequences spanning 130–60 ka b2k is plagued
by difficulties and uncertainties. Recent developments in the North Atlantic region, however …

The Toba eruption that occurred some 74 ka ago in Sumatra, Indonesia, is among the
largest volcanic events on Earth over the last 2 million years. Tephra from this eruption has …

Detailed knowledge of the past history of an active volcano is crucial for the prediction of the
timing, frequency and style of future eruptions, and for the identification of potentially at-risk …

Tephrochronology is central to the INTIMATE 1 goals for testing the degree of climatic
synchroneity during abrupt climatic events that punctuated the last glacial period. Since their …

Correlation of tephra deposits frequently relies on the analysis of glass shards separated
from their host. Small shards from distal deposits (marine-, ice-or lake-cores, peat bogs) are …

Well-resolved event-based stratigraphies in marine sediments spanning a significant portion
of the last glacial period (60–8 kyr) provide a unique opportunity for time–stratigraphic …
