Assessing Impact to Infrastructures Due to Tephra Fallout From Öræfajökull Volcano (Iceland) by Using a Scenario-Based Approach and a Numerical Model

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Mt. Öræfajökull is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Iceland with potential for a VEI6 eruption and the generation of many severe associated hazards. It is not a frequently erupting volcano with two eruptions in the last 1100 years, in 1362 and 1727–

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
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.

Determining tephra fall deposit thickness in sedimentary record from magnetic susceptibility curve: Example of four Ethiopian tephras

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2004
The ejecta volume associated to a volcanic eruption is commonly estimated by extrapolating the exponential thinning relations beyond the tephra fall deposit thickness preserved in the sedimentary record. The thickness of a tephra is usually determined visually, eventually including the counting of the volcanic grains to take into account the vertical ...

A 100-year record of North Pacific volcanism in an ice core from Eclipse icefield, Yukon Territory, Canada [PDF]

, 2003
A record of regionally significant volcanic eruptions in the North Pacific over the last century has been developed using a glaciochemical record from Eclipse Icefield, Yukon Territory, Canada.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

A step-by-step evaluation of empirical methods to quantify eruption source parameters from tephra-fall deposits

Journal of Applied Volcanology, 2019
This paper describes the step-by-step process of characterizing tephra-fall deposits based on isopach, isomass and isopleth maps as well as thickness transects at different distances from their source. It covers the most frequently used empirical methods

Palynology, vegetation and climate of the Waikato lowlands, North Island, New Zealand, since c. 18,000 years ago [PDF]

, 1989
The vegetational and climatic history of the Waikato lowlands during the last c. 18,000 years is inferred from the palynology of sediment cores from Lakes Rotomanuka, Rotokauri, and Okoroire.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Evaluating relative tephra fall hazard and risk in the Asia-Pacific region [PDF]

Geosphere, 2018
With increasing population densities and expanding urban boundaries, the potential for explosive volcanic eruptions to have adverse impacts upon urban areas is on the rise. This is particularly true for volcanoes along subduction zones, because they are almost exclusively explosive and often coincident with large populations. Explosive eruption hazards

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
