Dynamic landscape changes in Glen Roy and vicinity, west Highland Scotland, during the Younger Dryas and early Holocene:a synthesis [PDF]
This paper introduces a special issue devoted to the sequence of events in and around Glen Roy during the Loch Lomond or Younger Dryas Stadial, the short but important cold period dated to between 12,900 and 11,700 years ago, during which glaciers last ...

Stratigraphy of a Lateglacial lake basin sediment sequence at Turret Bank, upper Glen Roy, Lochaber: implications for the age of the Turret Fan [PDF]
New lithostratigraphical, pollen-stratigraphical and tephrostratigraphical data are presented for a sediment sequence at Turret Bank, a site that lies close to the confluence of the River Turret with the River Roy in Lochaber, the western Scottish ...

Ice core evidence for the Los Chocoyos supereruption disputes millennial-scale climate impact
Volcanic supereruptions are considered among the few drivers of global and existential catastrophes, with recent hypotheses suggesting massive volcanic stratospheric sulfate injection could instigate major shifts in global climate.

A summary of terminology used in tephra-related studies [PDF]
The word ‘tephra’, derived from a Greek word for ash, is a collective term for all the unconsolidated, primary pyroclastic products of a volcanic eruption.

Identification of a widespread Kamchatkan tephra: A middle Pleistocene tie-point between Arctic and Pacific paleoclimatic records [PDF]
Very few age controls exist for Quaternary deposits over the vast territory of the East Russian Arctic, which hampers dating of major environmental changes in this area and prevents their correlation to climatic changes in the Arctic and Pacific marine ...

This study examines environmental changes recorded in the sediments of Plešné Lake (48°46.6’N, 13°51.9’E, Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic) between 13,200 and 12,200 cal yr BP, encompassing the Allerød-Younger Dryas (AL-YD) transition (∼12,900 years ago).

Cryptotephra in the East Antarctic Mount Brown South ice core
Abstract. Ice cores contain stratified layers of impurities scavenged from the atmosphere, which are a vital tool for investigating the Earth system. Reconstructing past eruption records by way of ice core tephrochronology can help us understand ash dispersal, atmospheric circulation processes, and the impacts of volcanic eruptions on climate.
