Tephra plumes from explosive volcanic eruptions can be hazardous for the lives and livelihoods of people living in the proximity of volcanoes. Monitoring and forecasting tephra plumes play essential roles in the detection, characterization and hazard ...

The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Securing the past for the future – why climate proxy archives should be protected
Glaciers, corals, speleothems, peatlands, trees and other natural proxy archives are essential for global climate change research, but their scarcity and fragility are not equally recognised. Here, we introduce a rapidly disappearing source of palaeoclimatic, environmental and archaeological evidence from some 5000 years ago in the Fenland of eastern ...

The middle Waikato Basin and hills [PDF]
The middle Waikato (or Hamilton) Basin is a roughly oval-shaped depression more than 80 km north to south and more than 40 km wide. The basin, except in the south, is almost completely surrounded by ranges up to 300 m high, broken by only a few gaps.

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 ...

We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Rootless tephra stratigraphy and emplacement processes [PDF]
Volcanic rootless cones are the products of thermohydraulic explosions involving rapid heat transfer from active lava (fuel) to external sources of water (coolant). Rootless eruptions are attributed to molten fuel-coolant interactions (MFCIs), but previous studies have not performed systematic investigations of rootless tephrostratigraphy and grain ...

On goodness‐of‐fit testing for self‐exciting point processes
Abstract Despite the wide usage of parametric point processes in theory and applications, a sound goodness‐of‐fit procedure to test whether a given parametric model is appropriate for data coming from a self‐exciting point process has been missing in the literature.

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,

Revised calendar date for the Taupo eruption derived by ¹⁴C wiggle-matching using a New Zealand kauri ¹⁴C calibration data set [PDF]
Taupo volcano in central North Island, New Zealand, is the most frequently active and productive rhyolite volcano on Earth. Its latest explosive activity about 1800 years ago generated the spectacular Taupo eruption, the most violent eruption known in ...
