Guide to the nature and methods of analysis of the clay fraction of tephras from the South Auckland region, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 1983 The manual outlines some of the more common laboratory procedures available for qualitatively and quantitatively analysing the composition of the tephric clays, many of which are difficult to determine because of their short range order or 'amorphous ...

Magma volume, volatile emissions, and stratospheric aerosols from the 1815 eruption of Tambora [PDF]
, 2004 We suggest that the Tambora 1815 eruption was smaller than previously thought, yielding 30–33 km3 of magma. Valuable insight into the eruption is gained by comparing it to the much smaller 1991 Pinatubo event, which had a similar eruption style and rate.

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

Holocene record of large explosive eruptions from Chaitén and Michinmahuida Volcanoes, Chile
Andean Geology, 2013 Tephra fall deposits and one large ignimbrite close to Chaitén and Michinmahuida Volcanoes were analyzed for chemistry and radiocarbon dated to correlate the eruptive units and establish the timing of eruptions.

Maars to calderas. End-members on a spectrum of explosive volcanic depressions [PDF]
, 2015 We discuss maar-diatremes and calderas as end-members on a spectrum of negative volcanic landforms (depressions) produced by explosive eruptions (note—we focus on calderas formed during explosive eruptions, recognizing that some caldera types are not ...
