Quantifying uncertainties in the measurement of tephra fall thickness [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Volcanology, 2013
The uncertainties associated with tephra thickness measurements are calculated and implications for volume estimates are presented. Statistical methods are used to analyse the large dataset of Walker and Croasdale J Geol Soc 127:17-55, 1971 of the Fogo A plinian deposit, Sao Miguel, Azores.

Morphology and formation of glassy volcanic ash from the August 12-15, 1991 eruption of Hudson Volcano, Chile

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis, 2021
The 1991 explosive eruption of Hudson volcano in Chile ejected about 2.7 km3 (DRE) of basalt and trachyandesite magma as tephra fall. A majority of the fallout occurred from an eruption during the period August 12-15, 1991, producing an extensive ...

Geospatial distribution of tephra fall in Alaska: a geodatabase compilation of published tephra fall occurrences from the Pleistocene to the present [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Tephra fall (volcanic ash) studies are a key component to understanding the frequency and magnitude of volcanic eruptions and conducting volcano-hazard assessments. In addition, many interdisciplinary studies rely on tephra fall deposits as time-stratigraphic markers.

The Medial Offshore Record of Explosive Volcanism Along the Central to Eastern Aegean Volcanic Arc: 2. Tephra Ages and Volumes, Eruption Magnitudes and Marine Sedimentation Rate Variations

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
We use the tephrostratigraphic framework along the Aegean Volcanic Arc established in Part 1 of this contribution to determine hemipelagic sedimentation rates, calculate new tephra ages, and constrain the minimum magnitudes of (sub)plinian eruptions of ...

Probabilistic assessment of tephra fall hazards in Japan using a tephra fall distribution database

open access: yes, 2020
Abstract Tephra falls can disrupt critical infrastructure, including transportation and electricity networks. Probabilistic assessments of tephra fall hazards have been performed using computational techniques, but it is also important to integrate long-term, regional geological records.

Eruptive history of Mt. Fuji over the past 8000 years based on integrated records of lacustrine and terrestrial tephra sequences and radiocarbon dating

open access: yesQuaternary Science Advances, 2023
Reliable records of past volcanic activities are essential for assessing future eruption probabilities and establishing effective volcanic disaster mitigation plans.

Dynamics and style transition of a moderate, Vulcanian-driven eruption at Tungurahua (Ecuador) in February 2014: pyroclastic deposits and hazard considerations [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2017
The ongoing eruptive cycle of Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) since 1999 has been characterised by over 15 paroxysmal phases interrupted by periods of relative calm.

Effects of volcanic and hydrologic processes on forest vegetation: Chaitén Volcano, Chile [PDF]

open access: yesAndean Geology, 2013
The 2008-2009 eruption of Chaitén Volcano (Chile) involved a variety of volcanic and associated hydrologic processes that damaged nearby forests. These processes included coarse (gravel) and fine (silt to sand) tephra fall, a laterally directed blast ...

Vegetational response to tephra deposition and land-use change in Iceland: a modern analogue and multiple working hypothesis approach to tephropalynology [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

A fuzzy logic methodology for assessing the resilience of past communities to tephra fall: a Laacher See eruption 13,000 year BP case

open access: yesVolcanica, 2018
While volcanologists are experienced in assessing present and past volcanism, and while archaeologists are experts in understanding past societies, the study of how ancient volcanic activity has impacted contemporaneous communities remains little ...
