Managing and visualising geochemical data for tephra correlation with the IntChron Integration Tool

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is now a wealth of glass‐shard geochemical data for volcanic ash (tephra) layers from a wide range of volcanoes and eruptions, providing invaluable datasets for tephrochronology. However, compilation of published data to assess tephra correlations leads to large files and requires careful management.

The seismic response to Faroe basalts from integrated borehole and wide-angle seismic data [PDF]

open access: yes
We study the seismic response of layered basalts in the Faroe Islands using borehole data and vertical seismic profiles from the Vestmanna borehole, combined with reflection and wideangle seismic data recorded into arrays of both borehole and land ...

Electron probe microanalysis of extremely fine‐grained tephras: new protocols and insights for analyses at the 1 μ ${\rm{\mu }}$m scale

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volcanic ash (tephra) provides an important chronostratigraphic framework for correlating Quaternary records. In ultra‐distal ( > $\gt $1500 km) settings such as ice cores and marine sediments, deposits are typically preserved as cryptotephra composed of glass shards ≤ 20 μ $\le 20\,\mu

Low temperature geomicrobiology follows host rock composition along a geochemical gradient in Lau Basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The East Lau Spreading Center (ELSC) and Valu Fa Ridge (VFR) comprise a ridge segment in the southwest Pacific Ocean where rapid transitions in the underlying mantle chemistry manifest themselves as gradients in seafloor rock geochemistry.

First finding of Icelandic tephra in Czechia: Vedde Ash identified in palaeolake sediments of Stará Jímka

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we report the first documented occurrence of the Icelandic Vedde Ash (VA) in the Bohemian Forest, identified within palaeolake sediments from Stará Jímka, Czechia, representing the first Icelandic tephra layer identified in Czechia.

Forming Olivine Phenocrysts in Basalt: A 3D Characterization of Growth Rates in Laboratory Experiments

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Our current knowledge of the genesis, ascent, storage, and eruption of mafic magmas is intimately linked with olivine, its primary crystal cargo. Recent claims that phenocryst-size crystals can grow rapidly and non-concentrically are challenging our ...

Climate‐modulated accumulation and erosion of sediments in the Rodderberg crater basin for the last 439 ka (East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial/interglacial climate cycles since marine isotope stage (MIS) 12 influenced the discontinuous and 73 m‐long sediment record from the volcanic crater of Rodderberg in the East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany. High‐resolution grain size and geochemical data have been valued by numerical dating techniques (radiocarbon and luminescence dating,

Basalt Fiber Technology: From Raw Materials to Engineering Applications-A Review

open access: yesNatural Product Communications
Basalt fiber, produced from naturally occurring basalt rock, has emerged as a sustainable and cost-effective reinforcement material due to its high mechanical strength, chemical stability, thermal resistance, and electrical insulation properties.
