Marine tephrochronology: a personal perspective [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2014 This special volume on marine tephrochronology is remarkable, and timely, because it marks a concerted step towards what might be informally termed ‘phase 3’ of a revolution in Quaternary geosciences that began around 40 years ago.

, 2015 Tephrochronology is the use of primary, characterized tephras or cryptotephras as chronostratigraphic marker beds to connect and synchronize geological, paleoenvironmental, or archaeological sequences or events, or soils/paleosols, and, uniquely, to ...

Tephrochronology and Absolute Age Determination
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1967 Most tephrochronological studies based upon absolute ages are derived from historical records of eruption and radiocarbon dates from Holocene and Pleistocene times. However, unless associated with some organic matters whose ages are younger than 35, 000 years old, tephra layers usually could not be dated.Recently Kigoshi explored the possibility that ...

Tephrostratigraphy and tephrochronology of lakes Ohrid and Prespa, Balkans [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2010 Four cores from Balkans lakes Ohrid and Prespa were examined for recognition of tephra layers and cryptotephras, and the results presented along with the review of data from other two already published cores from Lake Ohrid.

Tephrochronology in faulted Middle Pleistocene tephra layer in the Val dAgri area (Southern Italy)
Annals of Geophysics, 2006 The High Agri River Valley is a Quaternary Basin located along the hinge of the Southern Apennines fold-andthrust belt. The inner margin of the orogen has been affected by intense transtensional and normal faulting, which accompanied vigorous volcanism ...

First discovery of Holocene cryptotephra in Amazonia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 The use of volcanic ash layers for dating and correlation (tephrochronology) is widely applied in the study of past environmental changes. We describe the first cryptotephra (non-visible volcanic ash horizon) to be identified in the Amazon basin, which ...

Tephrochronology of New Volcanic Ash
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1963 When a volcano eruptes, its pyroclastics are deposited over the surface of the earth, so the depositional features of the pyroclastics tell us the history of volcanic activities. Therefore, if we wish to investigate the tephrochronology of pyroclastics which spread over the surface of the earth, the following works should be done.1) At first, we must ...

Cosmogenic helium signatures at Deception Island volcano (Antarctica): geochronological implications for its eruptive history [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCosmogenic nuclei production for dating the Earth surface exposure of rock/mineral samples, especially 3He, is a robust technique in geochronology. We describe its application to constrain the ages of key eruptive episodes of the volcanic history of ...
