Active Tephra in Kyushu 2010: International field conference
(The Australasian Quaternary Association (AQUA), 2010)In May of 2010 the inter-congress meeting of the INQUA International Focus Group on Tephrochronology and Volcanism (INTAV) was held in Kirishima City, Japan. INTAV was formed in 2007 at the International Union for Quaternary ... -
Advances in Quaternary tephrostratigraphy and tephrochronology in New Zealand
(1999)This paper summarises recent studies on Quaternary tephra deposits in New Zealand, and refers to a range of tephrochronological applications including sequence stratigraphy, palaeoclimatic reconstruction, and archaeology. ... -
Advancing tephrochronology as a global dating tool: applications in volcanology, archaeology, and palaeoclimatic research
(Elsevier, 2017)Layers of far-travelled volcanic ash (tephra) from explosive volcanic eruptions provide stratigraphic and numerical dating horizons in sedimentary and volcanic sequences. Such tephra layers may be dispersed over tens to ... -
The advent of the Anthropocene in Australasia.
(Australasian Quaternary Association (AQUA), 2015-07-21)As early as the late 19th Century, several scientists had suggested that humans were starting to influence the physical environment of planet Earth (e.g. Marsh, 1864; Stoppani, 1873; Arrhenius, 1896; Chamberlain, 1897). ... -
Age of the Rotoehu Ash. Comment.
(R S N Z Publishing, 1995)Suggests that the article by Whitehead & Ditchburn (1994), although presenting useful new data on 230Th/232Th analyses, is flawed and misleading in suggesting that the Rotoiti Tephra is considerably younger than c. 50 ka.

Stratigraphy, chronology, and correlation of the Plio-Pleistocene (c. 2.2-0.8 Ma) Kauroa Ash sequence, western central North Island, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2000)The Kauroa Ash beds (K-beds) comprise a 12-20 m-thick sequence of extremely weathered, clay-rich (40-95% <4 μm clay) beds of tephra and loess, and associated paleosols. Found in isolated remnants throughout the western ... -
Eruption and emplacement of the 1.3-Ma Ongatiti Ignimbrite, New Zealand: Regional pathways, particle processes, and pumice evolution associated with a large-volume pyroclastic flow deposit
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Pyroclastic flows are the most devastating phenomena of explosive volcanic eruptions. These hazardous density currents are able to travel several tens of kilometers radially away from their source as fast, hot density ... -
Carbon dynamics in restiad peatlands across different timescales
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Peatlands contain one of the largest terrestrial carbon stores on the planet, and one which is known to interact with climate and global biogeochemical cycling of nutrients. Peatlands maintain their carbon primarily through ... -
Impacts of forest harvesting on the performance of soil-landscape modelling in a radiata pine forest, northern New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2004)New Zealand's forestry industry requires new information on the spatial distribution of certain target soil properties and locally significant soil classes in order to implement sustainable and site-specific forest management ... -
Is there a salty solution to sensitive soil sliding in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand?
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Found globally, sensitive soils are widely regarded as a key cause of slope instability. These sensitive soils often contribute to the production of large retrogressive landslides that pose significant danger to a people ...
