Aquatic community response to volcanic eruptions on the Ecuadorian Andean flank: evidence from the palaeoecological record [PDF]
Aquatic ecosystems in the tropical Andes are under increasing pressure from human modification of the landscape (deforestation and dams) and climatic change (increase of extreme events and 1.5 °C on average temperatures are projected for AD 2100 ...

Correlation of Papanetu Tephra to Karapiti Tephra, central North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
Abstract New road exposures around Lake Rotoaira and south and east of Lake Taupo have provided the opportunity to re-examine the stratigraphic relationships between the rhyolitic Papanetu and Karapiti Tephras (c. 10 000 years B.P.). Papanetu Tephra is everywhere typical of a distal rhyolitic tephra; it is thin (< 2 cm), fine grained, and forms ...

Ice core evidence for a second volcanic eruption around 1809 in the Northern Hemisphere [PDF]
A volcanic signal observed in ice cores from both polar regions six years prior to Tambora is attributed to an unknown tropical eruption in 1809. Recovery of dacitic tephra from the 1809 horizon in a Yukon ice core (Eclipse) that is chemically distinct ...

Coastal dunes of Urup Island (Kuril Islands, North-Western Pacific): palaeoclimatic and environmental archive [PDF]
The Late Holocene phases of aeolian processes have been reconstructed on the basis of dune fields construction. The palaeoenvironmental studies were targeted to following problems: 1) to determine the periods of higher and lower activity of aeolian ...

Natural and anthropogenic lead in sediments of the Rotorua lakes, New Zealand [PDF]
Global atmospheric sources of lead have increased more than 100-fold over the past century as a result of deforestation, coal combustion, ore smelting and leaded petroleum. Lead compounds generally accumulate in depositional areas across the globe where,

Residential building and occupant vulnerability to tephra fall [PDF]
Plinian and subplinian volcanic eruptions can be accompanied by tephra falls which may last hours or days, posing threats to people, buildings and economic activity. Numerous historical examples exist of tephra damage and tephra casualties.
