We present a synchronization of the NGRIP, GRIP and GISP2 ice cores onto a master
chronology extending back to 104 ka before present, providing a consistent chronological …

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

This is a book about mineral dust in the Earth's atmosphere. Atmospheric dust consists of
tiny mineral particles, which mostly originate from soils in the arid and semi-arid parts of the …

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 …

A stratigraphy-based chronology for the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) ice
core has been derived by transferring the annual layer counted Greenland Ice Core …

Decades of research have focused on establishing the exact year and climatic impact of the
Minoan eruption of Thera, Greece (c. 1680 to 1500 BCE). Ice cores offer key evidence to …

Polar ice-cores have long been recognised as unrivalled repositories of past volcanic
events. Although tephra products from local eruptions tend to dominate these records …

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 …

The Toba supereruption in Sumatra,∼ 74 thousand years (ka) ago, was the largest
terrestrial volcanic event of the Quaternary. Ash and sulfate aerosols were deposited in both …

We present a 2700-year annually resolved chronology and snow accumulation history for
the Roosevelt Island Climate Evolution (RICE) ice core, Ross Ice Shelf, West Antarctica. The …
