High-resolution tephrochronology resolves stratigraphic complexities in archaeologically significant Nariokotome tuffs, Turkana Basin. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ASignificance The Nariokotome Tuff Complex in the Turkana Basin, Kenya, hosts rare late Early Pleistocene paleoanthropological sites crucial for understanding Homo erectus and their associated cultural technology, highlighted by decades of remarkable ...

, 2014 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 transfer relative or numerical ages or dates to them using stratigraphic and age information together ...

Ordovician tephra distribution, tephrochronology and geochronology
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2023 Abstract The study of Ordovician tephras yields a wealth of valuable information about regional tectonism, sedimentation, stratigraphic correlation, and process rates. As such, these layers are prized by geologists and are the subject of a rich literature.

Tephrochronology in Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 2021 Tephra deposits in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) have been studied for >180 years. The now-global discipline of tephrochronology, which has some developmental roots in ANZ, forms the basis of a powerful chronostratigraphic correlational tool and age-equivalent dating method for geological, volcanological, palaeoenvironmental, and archaeological ...

Global tephra studies: role and importance of the international tephra research group “Commission on Tephrochronology” in its first 60 years [PDF]
History of Geo- and Space Sciences, 2022 . Tephrochronology is a correlational and age-equivalent dating method whereby practitioners characterize, map, and date tephra (or volcanic ash) layers and use them stratigraphically as connecting and dating tools in the geosciences (including ...

Quaternary, 2022 The exact spatial and temporal behaviour of rapid climate shifts during the Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition are still not entirely understood. In order to investigate these events, it is necessary to have detailed palaeoenvironmental reconstructions

Boreas, 2023 In the lacustrine succession F4‐F5 of the Fucino Basin, central Italy, 20 visible tephra layers were identified in the time interval 250–315 ka (Marine Isotope Stages 8–9).

Boreas, 2022 Thirty‐two tephra layers were identified in the time‐interval 313–366 ka (Marine Isotope Stages 9–10) of the Quaternary lacustrine succession of the Fucino Basin, central Italy. Twenty‐seven of these tephra layers yielded suitable geochemical material to

Radiocarbon Dating and Tephrochronology in Kamchatka [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 1993 We discuss results of 14C dates obtained from areas of young volcanoes in Kamchatka. We apply these dates to reconstructing regional volcanic activity during the Holocene.

Post–glacial tephrochronology record off the Chilean continental margin (∼41° S)
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2021 The Southern Volcanic Zone of the Andes (∼33–46° S) is a very active volcanic zone with several volcanic centers recording recurrent historical activity (e.g. Llaima, Villarrica, Puyehue-Cordon Caulle, Osorno, Calbuco and Hudson).
