Best practices in tephra collection, analysis, and reporting: Leading toward better tephra databasesThis is a page for the Tephra 2017 workshop, held in Portland, OR, 19 August 2017. The workshop was a follow-on to the Tephra 2014 workshop, held 3-7 August 2014, also in Portland.This one-day workshop included a broad representation of scientists and students who work with tephra. Volcanologists, tephrochronologists, archaeologists, geochronologists, paleoclimatologists, paleoecologists, paleolim…

Tephra deposits are used by diverse communities: volcanologists, petrologists, tephrochronologists, paleoclimatologists, paleoecologists and archaeologists. To perhaps be too reductionist, volcanologists are generally interested in tephra to understand eruption behavior, frequency, and hazards; petrologists to understand magmatic processes beneath volcanoes and linkages to tectonic environments; tephrochronologists to make available age, distribution and geochemical characteristics; paleoclimato…

Beginning with the consensus document (with three appendices) resulting from the Tephra 2014 Workshop, this is the document repository for the Tephra 2014, 2017 and 2019 Workshops on standardization.The immediate goal of the tephra standardization effort is to translate checklists developed at the 2014 Workshop and developed since into templates for direct use by researchers in the field and in the lab. More specifically, we seek to: (1) Translate checklists (generated at the Tephra 2014 worksho…

The INQUA International Focus Group on Tephrochronology and Volcanism (INTAV) cordially invites you to participate in the Crossing New Frontiers - Tephra Hunt in Transylvania international field conference that aims to continue the long tradition of very successful inter-INQUA congress tephra meetings, as held previously in the USA, New Zealand, France, Canada and Japan. Crossing New Frontiers will be the first full INTAV-led tephra meeting since the Kirishima conference in Japan in 2010. URL: w…

The IAVCEI Commission on Tephra Hazard Modelling was born in 2003 to deal specifically with tephra hazard issues and characterization of tephra deposits. We feel that it is extremely important to gather together scientists with different tephra hazard experiences (e.g. modelers, model users, field volcanologists) in order to integrate and improve current hazard approaches and tephra-dispersal models.Official website: http://dbstr.ct.ingv.it/iavcei/ …

Vhub (online at vhub.org) is a cyberinfrastructure for collaboration in volcanology research, education, and outreach. One of the core objectives of this project is to accelerate the transfer of research tools to organizations and stakeholders charged with volcano hazard and risk mitigation (such as observatories). Vhub offers a clearinghouse for computational models of volcanic processes and data analysis, documentation of those models, and capabilities for online collaborative groups focused o…
