The increasing application of cryptotephra studies is leading the identification of new tephra marker layers the sources of which in many cases may not be known or may be ambiguous. In this contribution, we discuss the controls on tephra geochemistry...

Pre- and syn-eruptive degassing and crystallisation processes of the 2010 and 2006 eruptions of Merapi volcano, Indonesia (2014)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2014). Pre- and syn-eruptive degassing and crystallisation processes of the 2010 and 2006 eruptions of Merapi volcano, Indonesia. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-014-1061-z

The 2010 eruption of Merapi (VEI 4) was the volcano’s largest since 1872. In contrast to the prolonged and effusive dome-forming eruptions typical of Merapi’s recent activity, the 2010 eruption began explosively, before a new dome was rapidly emplace...

Pumice deposits of the Santorini Lower Pumice 2 eruption on Anafi island, Greece: Indications for a Plinian event of exceptional magnitude. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 278-279, 120-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2014.04.009

Isolated patches of Santorini pumice deposits are analysed from the non-volcanic island of Anafi at a distance of 31–38 km east from the centre of the Santorini caldera. The deposits are Plinian fall profiles with a primary thickness at this distance...
