The INTIMATE protocol for the correlation of marine ice core and terrestrial records is here
updated, reflecting recent developments in palaeoclimate research. Originally focussed on …

The research project 'Response of Humans to Abrupt Environmental Transitions'(RESET)
used tephra layers to tie together and synchronise the chronologies of stratigraphic records …

From its Icelandic origins in the study of visible tephra horizons, tephrochronology took a
remarkable step in the late 1980 s with the discovery of a ca. 4300‐year‐old microscopic …

In recent years, increased awareness of the considerable potential offered by
tephrochronology in palaeoclimatic studies has fuelled a renewed interest in the tephra …

Little has challenged our understanding of climate change more so than the abruptness with
which large-scale shifts in temperature occurred during the Late Quaternary. The causal …

Microscopic studies of late-Quaternary tephras from Iceland yield a detailed
tephrochronology in deposits of the British Isles, where the quantities of volcanic glass …

Close to 100 silicic tephra layers have been identified in Icelandic terrestrial soils of
Holocene age. The majority of these tephras were erupted at the Hekla, Torfajökull …

The Vedde Ash is the most important volcanic event marker layer for the correlation of Late
Quaternary palaeoenvironmental archives in Europe and the North Atlantic. First defined …

The comparison of palaeoclimate records on their own independent timescales is central to
the work of the INTIMATE (INTegrating Ice core, MArine and TErrestrial records) network. For …

The precise sequence of events during the Last Termination (18 000–9000 ka 14C yr BP),
and the extent to which major environmental changes were synchronous, are difficult to …
