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).

Sedimentology, EarlyView.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.

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.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1212-1229, October 2025.ABSTRACT Numerous cryptotephra layers originating from Icelandic volcanoes and further afield have reached Northern Europe during the Holocene. Refining the precise timing and the relative frequency of local and distal eruptions requires well‐resolved continuous sediment archives. Lake Nautajärvi is located in central‐southern Finland (61°48′ N, 24°41′

Iron‐Bearing Minerals as Potential Indicators of Paleo‐Methane Seepage Evolution
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Methane (CH4) release and consumption in marine cold seeps are key processes influencing seabed ecology, global climate reconstruction, and hydrate resource exploration. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), the primary methane consumption mechanism, typically couples with microbial sulfate or metal reduction.

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 ...
