Late‐Holocene evolution of a small Sub‐Arctic glacier, Gljúfurárjökull (Tröllaskagi, northern Iceland)

Boreas, EarlyView.
Gljúfurárjökull, located on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula in northern Iceland, is a small glacier approximately 3.8 km in length. This study analyses the glacier's evolution through a combination of methods including: (i) geomorphological mapping, (ii) Cosmic‐Ray Exposure (CRE) dating, (iii) lichenometry and (iv) palaeoglacier reconstruction (volume ...

Variable preservation of the 1991 Hudson tephra in small lakes and on land

Frontiers in Earth Science
Volcanic ash (tephra) preserved in terrestrial environments and lake sediments contains information about volcanic processes and can be used to infer eruptive parameters and frequency of past eruptions, contributing to the understanding of volcanic ...

Development of a multi-method chronology spanning the Last Glacial Interval from Orakei maar lake, Auckland, New Zealand [PDF]

Geochronology, 2020
Northern New Zealand is an important location for understanding Last Glacial Interval (LGI) palaeoclimate dynamics, since it is influenced by both tropical and polar climate systems which have varied in relative strength and timing.

Difference in Slip Patterns Between Two Prehistoric Giant Earthquakes Along the Southern Kuril Trench

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract This study reveals different slip patterns of tsunami sources between two prehistoric giant earthquakes along the southern Kuril Trench, based on an integration of geological data and numerical simulations. The most recent giant earthquake occurred in the 17th century and its predecessor was in the 13th–14th century.

Magmatic and Tectonic Structures in the Crust Beneath Armenia and Surrounding Regions of Lesser Caucasus Inferred From Body‐Wave Earthquake Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Armenian Highlands, a tectonically active segment of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone, exhibit widespread Quaternary volcanism, rapid uplift, and intense seismicity. However, the lithospheric processes driving these phenomena remain poorly understood.

Possible climate preconditioning on submarine landslides along a convergent margin, Nankai Trough (NE Pacific)

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2017
Submarine landslides are major agents of sediment mass transfer from the shallow to deep sea. Due to their rapid emplacement and tsunamigenic potential, such landslides are significant geohazards for society and off- and on-shore infrastructure.

A database of paleoceanographic sediment cores from the North Pacific, 1951–2016 [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2017
We assessed sediment coring, data acquisition, and publications from the North Pacific (north of 30° N) from 1951 to 2016. There are 2134 sediment cores collected by American, French, Japanese, Russian, and international research vessels across the ...

Expanding the Tephrochronological Record in the Alps: Discovery of the Laacher See Tephra in Lake Plansee (Austria)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract We present the first documented occurrence of the Laacher See tephra (LST) in the Eastern Alps, identified in lake Plansee, Austria. The LST is a key chronostratigraphic marker for correlating and dating Late Glacial sedimentary archives. This discovery was made by progressively narrowing down observational limits from rough estimates of ...

Facies Characterization and Volcanic Source Assignment of Marine Tephra Deposits Around São Miguel Island, Azores Archipelago

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Long‐term tephrostratigraphies of volcanic islands such as the Azores are often limited to young and incomplete subaerial records. Here, we present a Pleistocene‐Holocene marine tephra archive around the eastern islands of the Azores based on 22 marine gravity cores.

Sedimentary record of submarine gravity‐flow events in the southern Ryukyu forearc during the last 200 000 years: Archive of mega‐earthquakes and tsunamis

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2323-2360, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite high convergence velocity, the southern Ryukyu subduction has relatively low and sparse instrumental seismicity, in contrast with the Yaeyama Islands, hit by huge tsunamis over the last few thousand years. This study explores the potential of deep marine sediments to record past large earthquakes and tsunamis.
