Magnetic characterisation and correlation of a Younger Dryas tephra in North Atlantic marine sediments

A technique for identifying non-visible basaltic tephra-rich horizons of Younger Dryas (YD)/Greenlancl Stadial (GS) 1 age in northeast Atlantic sediments using rapid, non-destructive magnetic measurements is presented. Three high-resolution marine sediment cores have been studied in all E W transect...
