Distal volcanic impacts on peatlands: palaeoecological evidence from Alaska (2008)
Journal Article
Payne, R., & Blackford, J. (2008). Distal volcanic impacts on peatlands: palaeoecological evidence from Alaska. Quaternary science reviews, 27(21-22), 2012-2030. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.08.002

Despite the fact that volcanic ash (tephra) layers are found preserved in peat deposits around the world, comparatively little research has investigated the impacts of distal volcanic emissions on peatlands. This study investigates the impacts of sev... Read More about Distal volcanic impacts on peatlands: palaeoecological evidence from Alaska.

Extending the late holocene tephrochronology of the central Kenai Peninsula, Alaska (2008)
Journal Article
Blackford, J. J., & Payne, R. J. (2008). Extending the late holocene tephrochronology of the central Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Arctic, 61(3), 243-254. https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic22

Tephrochronology, the reconstruction of past volcanic ash deposition, provides a valuable method for dating sediments and determining long-term volcanic history. Tephra layers are highly numerous in Alaska, but knowledge of their occurrence and distr... Read More about Extending the late holocene tephrochronology of the central Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.

Using cryptotephras to extend regional tephrochronologies: an example from southeast Alaska and implications for hazard assessment (2008)
Journal Article
Payne, R., Blackford, J., & van der Plicht, J. (2008). Using cryptotephras to extend regional tephrochronologies: an example from southeast Alaska and implications for hazard assessment. Quaternary Research, 69(1), 42-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2007.10.007

Cryptotephrochronology, the use of hidden, diminutive volcanic ash layers to date sediments, has rarely been applied outside western Europe but has the potential to improve the tephrochronology of other regions of the world. Here we present the first... Read More about Using cryptotephras to extend regional tephrochronologies: an example from southeast Alaska and implications for hazard assessment.
