Abstract Wavelength dispersive (WDS) electron microprobe analysis of glass shards recovered from Pleistocene sediments at Ocean Drilling Program Hole 907A (Leg 151) has been used to define key Pleistocene tephrochronostratigraphical markers for the Greenland–Iceland–Norwegian (GIN) seas. Two tephras...
