Journal ArticleDOI
A new and less destructive laboratory procedure for the physical separation of distal glass tephra shards from sediments
Simon Blockley,Simon Blockley,Sean Pyne-O'Donnell,J. John Lowe,Ian Matthews,A Stone,A. M. Pollard,Chris S. M. Turney,Elizabeth Molyneux +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a less destructive procedure for tephra extraction based on stepped heavy liquid flotation and which results in samples of sufficient quality for analysis while preserving their geochemical integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age modelling of late Quaternary marine sequences in the Adriatic: Towards improved precision and accuracy using volcanic event stratigraphy
J. John Lowe,Simon Blockley,Fabio Trincardi,Alessandra Asioli,Antonio Cattaneo,Ian Matthews,Mark Pollard,Sabine Wulf +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the problems that constrain the reliability of radiocarbon-based age models with particular focus on those used to underpin marine records is presented, and the importance of basing such comparisons on standardised geochemical and robust statistical procedures is stressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved age estimates for key Late Quaternary European tephra horizons in the RESET lattice
Christopher Bronk Ramsey,Paul G. Albert,Simon Blockley,Mark Hardiman,Rupert A. Housley,Christine Lane,Christine Lane,Sharen Lee,Ian Matthews,Victoria C. Smith,J. John Lowe +10 more
TL;DR: The RESET project as mentioned in this paper used tephra layers to tie together and synchronise the chronologies of stratigraphic records at archaeological and environmental sites, and a chronology of the key tephras in the RESET tectra lattice in the time range 10-60
Journal ArticleDOI
Distal tephra record for the last ca 105,000 years from core PRAD 1-2 in the central Adriatic Sea: implications for marine tephrostratigraphy
A. J. Bourne,J. John Lowe,Fabio Trincardi,Alessandra Asioli,Simon Blockley,Sabine Wulf,Ian Matthews,Andrea Piva,Luigi Vigliotti +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 25 discrete tephra layers were discovered, only one of which was visible in the core sequence, and the other 24 are not visible to the naked eye, nor were the majority detected by routine down core scanning methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Was the 12.1 ka Icelandic Vedde Ash one of a kind
Christine Lane,Simon Blockley,Jan Mangerud,Jan Mangerud,Victoria C. Smith,Øystein S. Lohne,Øystein S. Lohne,Emma L. Tomlinson,Ian Matthews,André F. Lotter +9 more
TL;DR: 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 as discussed by the authors, and has been traced across much of northern and central Europe, into northwest Russia, within North Atlantic marine sediments and into the Greenland ice cores.
