Last interglacial sea-level proxies in the glaciated Northern Hemisphere [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 Because global sea level during the last interglacial (LIG; 130–115 ka) was higher than today, the LIG is a useful approximate analogue for improving predictions of future sea-level rise. Here, we synthesize sea-level proxies for the LIG in the glaciated

Composite development and stratigraphy of the Onepoto maar lake sediment sequence (Auckland Volcanic Field, New Zealand) [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2021 The accurate and precise reconstruction of Quaternary climate as well as the events that punctuate it is an important driver of the study of lake sediment archives.

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

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.

Peat humification and climate change: a multi-site comparison from mires in south-east Alaska [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2008 Peatland records of Holocene palaeoclimate have been widely used in Europe. Their potential in western North America remains largely unexploited despite an abundance of candidate sites.

Detection of Tephra Layers in Antarctic Sediment Cores with Hyperspectral Imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Tephrochronology uses recognizable volcanic ash layers (from airborne pyroclastic deposits, or tephras) in geological strata to set unique time references for paleoenvironmental events across wide geographic areas.

Geological evidence for paleotsunamis along eastern Sicily (Italy): an overview [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 We present geological evidence for paleotsunamis along the ~230 km-long coast of eastern Sicily (Italy); combining this information with historical data, we reconstruct a unique history of tsunami inundations.

Big grains go far: understanding the discrepancy between tephrochronology and satellite infrared measurements of volcanic ash [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 There is a large discrepancy between the size of volcanic ash particles measured on the ground at least 500 km from their source volcano (known as cryptotephra) and those reported by satellite remote sensing (effective radius of 0.5–9 μm; 95% of ...

Vedde Ash constrains Younger Dryas glacier re-advance and rapid glacio-isostatic rebound on Svalbard
Quaternary Science Advances, 2022 The distal deposition of tephra from explosive volcanism has the potential to geochronologically constrain sedimentary archives and landforms.
