When the tephra sample is very happy to be blasted by a laser! What trace elements will it hold.

Short Course in Radiocarbon Dating and Bayesian Chronological Analysis Developed by the NERC Radiocarbon Facility, this course is aimed at researchers using radiocarbon and other techniques, including Quaternary geologists, palaeobiologists, archaeologists and marine geo...

Registration for the Radiocarbon Short Course will close 28/02. Come along if you would like to learn a bit more about radiocarbon as a dating technique or as a tracer, or you would like some training on OxCal; conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/shor... @unioxarchaeology.bsky.social

Just some pretty tephra from Süphan volcano found in Lake Van, eastern Turkey 🌋 volcanic snowflakes, not one the same

This paper would not of been possible without the help of my co-authors! Combining our data together will now help everyone who works on tephra layers in this region!

Now there is over 1,000 new single glass data for tephra layers from Nemrut and Süphan. Major and trace elements!

We make new correlations to dated proximal tephra outcrops of Nemrut to the V-layers of the Lake Van core! Plus new understanding on the timing and order of many confusing outcrops around the lake

Some tephra-tastic news for February! New glass geochemistry of visible tephra layers from Lake Van are finally published!!! 👇

The volcanoes of Nemrut and Süphan take a bow! 🌋🧪

We have various research projects in a range of interesting locations and happy to discuss these so please get in touch if you are interested! 🌋🔬🥼🧑‍🔬

Holding out for the 2am wake up of “did I say that!?!” panic. 🙌

The triumphant but very tired feeling of submitting paper revisions. A monster of a paper. But hopefully some tephra goodness from Nemrut coming soon 🤞🤞🤞

Some inspiration to get the response to reviewer comments done on the Lake Van paper. It is a biggen but it’s a goody.

The top of Nemrut in eastern Turkey. The crater was formed ~32,000 years ago with a big bang! 🌋
Say hi 👋 and follow along for more tephra-y posts
