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 …

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 …

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 …

The last glacial period was marked by pronounced millennial-scale variability in ocean
circulation and global climate. Shifts in sea ice cover within the Nordic Seas are believed to …

Abstract The Last Interglacial period (LIG) was characterized by a long-term Arctic
atmospheric warming above the preindustrial level. The LIG thus provides a case study of …

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 …

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

The comparison of palaeoclimate records on their own independent timescales is central to
the work of the INTIMATE (INTegrating Ice core, MArine and TErrestrial records) network. For …

A new and improved Holocene tephra stratigraphy and tephrochronological framework for
eastern and northern Iceland is presented. Investigations of a sediment sequence from Lake …
