Connecting with tephras: principles, functioning, and applications of tephrochronology in Quaternary science [PDF]
, 2013 Tephrochronology is a unique method for linking and dating geological, palaeoecological, palaeoclimatic, or archaeological sequences or events. The method relies firstly on stratigraphy and the law of superposition, which apply in any study that connects

Late Holocene palynology and palaeovegetation of tephra-bearing mires at Papamoa and Waihi Beach, western Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 1995 The vegetation history of two mires associated with Holocene dunes near the western Bay of Plenty coast, North Island, New Zealand, is deduced from pollen analysis of two cores.

Vegetational response to tephra deposition and land-use change in Iceland: a modern analogue and multiple working hypothesis approach to tephropalynology [PDF]
, 2004 Evidence is provided from the joint application of tephrochronology and palynology in two Icelandic locations — the island of Papey off the east coast and Seljaland in the south.

Origin and significance of ice‐rafted detritus in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2007 Piston core TN057‐14 from the eastern Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean contains several layers rich in volcanic tephra that were deposited during the last glacial period.

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Cluster‐based chemostratigraphy using XRF‐CS enables high‐resolution correlation of event deposits across contrasting depositional settings in the Japan Trench. This approach reveals previously unrecognised events and compositional heterogeneity, offering new insights into sediment provenance and earthquake‐triggered deposition, with implications for ...

An ashy septingentenarian: the Kaharoa tephra turns 700 (with notes on its volcanological, archaeological, and historical importance) [PDF]
, 2014 Most of us are aware of the basaltic Tarawera eruption on 10th June 1886: the high toll on life (~120 people), landscape devastation, and loss of the Pink and White Terraces.

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.

Southern Ocean Sulfate Aerosol Sources Quantified From Sulfur Isotopes in Antarctic Ice Cores
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.Abstract The Southern Ocean has emerged as a key region for constraining aerosol‐climate interactions due to its relatively low anthropogenic influence. Sulfate is an important aerosol over the Southern Ocean, and models suggest dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is the largest source of sulfate during summer.

Stop 2 Kainui silt loam and Naike clay, Gordonton Rd [PDF]
, 2008 At this stop are several remarkable features both stratigraphic and pedological, and a “two-storied” soil, the Kainui silt loam alongside (in just a few places) the Naike clay. Both soils are Ultisols. The sequence of tephra beds and buried soil horizons
