Due to their outstanding resolution and well-constrained chronologies, Greenland ice-core
records provide a master record of past climatic changes throughout the Last Interglacial …

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 …

Large volcanic eruptions occurring in the last glacial period can be detected by their
accompanying sulfuric acid deposition in continuous ice cores. Here we employ continuous …

Abstract The Last Interglacial (LIG, 129–116 thousand of years BP, ka) represents a test bed
for climate model feedbacks in warmer-than-present high latitude regions. However, mainly …

Abstract The Last Interglacial (LIG) represents an invaluable case study to investigate the
response of components of the Earth system to global warming. However, the scarcity of …

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 …

In the light of rapidly diminishing sea ice cover in the Arctic during the present atmospheric
warming, it is imperative to study the distribution of sea ice in the past in relation to rapid …

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 …

The seafloor contains valuable mineral resources, including polymetallic (or manganese)
nodules that form on offshore abyssal plains. The largest and most commercially attractive …

Layers of far-travelled volcanic ash (tephra) from explosive volcanic eruptions provide
stratigraphic and numerical dating horizons in sedimentary and volcanic sequences. Such …
