Abstract
Tephra layers record instant geologic events extending across marine and continental environments, reflects climatic and paleoenvironmental changes and geotectonic activities, and can provide an orthostratigraphic time frame for sedimentary sequences when numerically dated. Recent work in the North Atlantic has shown that tholeiitic basaltic ash layers can be distinguished by their Ti-concentrations and attributed to Icelandic volcanic centers. -from Authors
