Rapid Tephra Identification in Geological Archives With Computed Tomography: Experimental Results and Natural Applications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Volcanic ash (tephra) horizons represent powerful chronological and stratigraphic markers: rapid and widespread deposition allows for correlation of geological records in time and space.

Sakurajima-Satsuma (Sz-S) and Noike-Yumugi (N-Ym) tephras: new tephrochronological marker beds for the last deglaciation, southern Kyushu, Japan [PDF]

, 2011
Two prominent tephras, Sakurajima-Satsuma (Sz-S) erupted from Sakurajima volcano and Noike-Yumugi (N-Ym) erupted from Kuchierabujima Island, provide new key marker beds for dating and synchronizing palaeoenvironmental and archaeological records in the ...

Rootless tephra stratigraphy and emplacement processes [PDF]

Bulletin of Volcanology, 2017
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 ...

Progressively Fenitised Schist and Carbonatitic Clasts From a Metasomatic Aureole Beneath the Alkalic Dunedin Volcano, Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Clasts of albite‐porphyroblastic quartzofeldspathic schist, derived from the Otago Schist basement, occur within the Port Chalmers Breccia, a diatreme at the centre of the Dunedin stratovolcano, New Zealand. Schists have undergone varying degrees of replacement reactions (at temperatures of 300° to >500°C) producing hornfelses, with Ca‐ and K‐enriched ...

Soils and soilscapes of the Upper Volturno basin: a detailed survey of a large intermontane basin in the Central-Southern Apennines, Italy

Journal of Maps, 2021
Soils of the Upper Volturno basin in the Central-Southern Apennines (Molise, Italy) were surveyed in detail. Trends in development are described with focus on the contrast between the mountain soils and the soils of the basin.

Vertical and Spatial Geochemical Variations of Nishinoshima Volcaniclastic Deposits, Japan, During Episode 4

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Nishinoshima is a volcanic island in the Ogasawara Arc that has exhibited intermittent activity since 2013, including four major eruptive episodes: 2013–2015 (Episode 1), 2017 (Episode 2), 2018 (Episode 3), and 2019–2020 (Episode 4). Previous studies reported a change in eruption style—from a Strombolian eruption with lava flows (Episode 1 to the early

Probabilistic Source Classification of Large Tephra Producing Eruptions Using Supervised Machine Learning: An Example From the Alaska‐Aleutian Arc

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Alaska contains over 130 volcanoes and volcanic fields that have been active within the last 2 million years. Of these, roughly 90 have erupted during the Holocene, with many characterized by at least one large explosive eruption.

Eruption Source Parameters in Volcanic Plume Modeling: Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Accurately predicting the atmospheric dispersion of volcanic ash and gases is crucial for both scientific understanding and hazard mitigation. Estimating Eruption Source Parameters (ESP), such as mass eruption rate, plume height, duration, and particle size distribution and properties, remains challenging due to the complex nature of volcanic ...

Mass Eruption Rates of Tephra Plumes During the 2011–2015 Lava Fountain Paroxysms at Mt. Etna From Doppler Radar Retrievals

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Real-time estimation of eruptive source parameters during explosive volcanic eruptions is a major challenge in terms of hazard evaluation and risk assessment as these inputs are essential for tephra dispersal models to forecast the impact of ash plumes ...

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
