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.

Stratigraphy and chronology of a 15ka sequence of multi-sourced silicic tephras in a montane peat bog, eastern North Island, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 1999 We document the stratigraphy, composition, and chronology of a succession of 16 distal, silicic tephra layers interbedded with lateglacial and Holocene peats and muds up to c. 15 000 radiocarbon years (c.

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.

Tephra studies in New Zealand: an historical review. [PDF]
, 1990 The development of tephra studies in New Zealand may be divided into four main periods: Period 1, late 19th century to late 1920s; Period 2, late 1920s to early 1950s; Period 3, early 1950s to 1973; Period 4, 1973 to late 1980s.

Revised calendar date for the Taupo eruption derived by ¹⁴C wiggle-matching using a New Zealand kauri ¹⁴C calibration data set [PDF]
, 2011 Taupo volcano in central North Island, New Zealand, is the most frequently active and productive rhyolite volcano on Earth. Its latest explosive activity about 1800 years ago generated the spectacular Taupo eruption, the most violent eruption known in ...

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.
