Marine Sediment Record of Eruption‐Fed Vertical Density Currents, Kermadec Arc (Rangitāhua)
Abstract Products of explosive volcanism can be transported into the oceans, where they form marine tephra layers. The processes responsible for their deposition are often complex, involving multiple transport mechanisms. During the RV Investigator voyage IN2022‐V02 (2022), a 35‐cm‐thick marine tephra unit was piston‐cored at 2,460 m water depth in the
