Role of tephra in dating Polynesian settlement and impact, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2004 Tephrochronology in its original sense is the use of tephra layers as time-stratigraphic marker beds to establish numerical or relative ages (Lowe and Hunt, 2001).

A review of late Quaternary silicic and some other tephra formations from New Zealand: their stratigraphy, nomenclature, distribution, volume, and age. [PDF]
, 1990 The stratigraphic relationships and distribution of 36 named late Quaternary (≤c. 50 000 yr B P.) silicic tephra formations, erupted from 4 volcanic centres—Okataina, Taupo, Maroa, and Tuhua (Mayor Island)—are presented.

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland
Boreas, EarlyView.Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.

Stop 2 Kainui silt loam and Naike clay, Gordonton Rd [PDF]
, 2008 At this stop are several remarkable features both stratigraphic and pedological, and a “two-storied” soil, the Kainui silt loam alongside (in just a few places) the Naike clay. Both soils are Ultisols. The sequence of tephra beds and buried soil horizons

Variable preservation of the 1991 Hudson tephra in small lakes and on land
Frontiers in Earth ScienceVolcanic 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 ...

Tephrochronological evidence for the late Holocene eruption history of El Chichón Volcano, Mexico [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2009 Pre-Columbian societies in the Maya Lowlands were repeatedly exposed to tephra-fall from past eruptions of El Chichón volcano, Chiapas, Mexico. Late Holocene tephra layers are well preserved in sediments of the Usumacinta-Grijalva river delta, about 150 ...

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.

Connecting with tephras: principles, functioning, and applications of tephrochronology in Quaternary science [PDF]
, 2013 Tephrochronology is a unique method for linking and dating geological, palaeoecological, palaeoclimatic, or archaeological sequences or events. The method relies firstly on stratigraphy and the law of superposition, which apply in any study that connects

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 ...
