Assessing the impact of volcanic activity on mid-Holocene climate in Ireland: the need for replicate data
Analyses of pollen, tephra, mineral input and degree of peat humification from three neighbouring raised peat profiles at Corlea, central Ireland, covering the period of the deposition of a tephra layer dated to just before 2290 cal. BC, and thought to represent Hekla-4 (2310±20 BC), are used to sho...

Analyses of pollen, tephra, mineral input and degree of peat humification from three neighbouring raised peat profiles at Corlea, central Ireland, covering the period of the deposition of a tephra layer dated to just before 2290 cal.

While there appears to be a strong correlation between tephra deposition and flooding of the bog surface in one profile, with a short-lived increase in the rate of peat accumulation, comparison with the other two records suggests that peat had already begun a trend to a less humified condition before tephra deposition, and that evidence of local bog surface flooding was neither consistent nor synchronous. |
