Late Holocene explosive activity of the Atsonupuri volcano (Iturup Island, Southern Kuril Islands): preliminary results [PDF]
The first results of the study of Late Holocene activity of the Atsonupuri volcano (Iturup Island, Southern Kuril Islands) obtained during field work in 2013–2014 are presented. On the basis of tephrochronological studies and radiocarbon dating, it was

Discovery of halloysite books in a ~270,000 year-old buried tephra deposit in northern New Zealand [PDF]
As part of a wider study examining the geomechanical properties, especially sensitivity, of sequences of Quaternary pyroclastic and associated deposits and buried soils in the landslide-prone western Bay of Plenty area near Tauranga, eastern North Island,

Experiments on the taphonomy of tephra in peat [PDF]
Understanding the taphonomy of tephra (volcanic ash) is crucial to the use of tephrochronology in peatlands. This study uses field experiments on a Scottish peatland to investigate the post-depositional movement of tephra in peat. Experiments were designed to investigate the temporal change in tephra profiles over a 24-month study period, the ...

Tephra Sequence with Mica Flakes
In the northern half of Kitakami Mountains, some tephra sequences composed of micaceous clayey volcanic ashes and pumice layers without mica flakes are observed. These sections are situated at hill foots and presented within exposed regions of granitic rocks.Pumice grains fell and settled relatively in short time and, on the contrary, falling and ...

The 1723 AD violent Strombolian and phreatomagatic eruption at Irazu volcano (Costa Rica) [PDF]
The largest of the recorded historic eruptions at Irazú volcano began on February 16, 1723 and lasted until at least December 11. We here critically examine deposits of this eruption exposed on the summit of Irazú. Our reconstruction of the eruption is

The Omachi Tephra Formations and Tephrochronology
The tephras supplied from Late Quaternary volcanoes in Central Japan have been distinguished into some tephra regions. In this paper, the author has made the characterization, classification and tephrochronologic consideration of the Omachi Tephra formations, which are developed in the Omachi Tephra region.

Can biochar ameliorate phosphorus deficiency and aluminium phytotoxicity in acid soils? : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The use of biochar as soil amendment to enhance soil functionality is being increasingly investigated, with particular attention given to its effects on the sustainable increase of crop production and carbon (C) sequestration. To date, however, limited
