Linking the North Atlantic to central Europe: a high‐resolution Holocene tephrochronological record from northern Germany
Abstract A high‐resolution Holocene tephrochronology for northern Germany has been established based on systematic tephrostratigraphical analysis of three peat bogs. Microscopic volcanic ash layers have been traced and characterised petrographically and by the chemical composition of the glass shard...
