Descriptions

This database contains major and trace element compositions of European tephra and metadata for the datasets and lakes they were found in This database contains major and trace element compositions of European tephra and metadata for the datasets and lakes they were found in. It was created by collecting data from scientific literature to support the synchronisation of annually-resolved lake sediment records during the Last Glacial Interglacial Transition (25 ka BP to 8 ka BP) and represents an addition to the Varved Sediments Database (VARDA). A total of 49 individual tephra layers across 19 varved lake records have been included, with Lago di Grande Monticchio being the largest contributor of geochemical data with 28 layers. The Vedde Ash and Laacher See tephra are the most common layers, being found in 6 different varved records, and highlight the potential of refining the absolute age estimates for these tephra layers using varve chronologies and for synchronising regional paleoclimate archives. This project is the first stage in a 5-years plan funded by the Past Global Changes (PAGES) Data Stewardship Scholarship to incorporate a global dataset of tephra geochemical data in lacustrine sediment records. Further stages of this project will focus on different regions and timescales.

Version history... 20 April 2023: release of version 1.0 13 October 2023: Release of version 2.0 Version 1.0 was moved to the “previous-versions” subfolder Changelog: • Added table “Full_Reference_List” with metadata elements “reference_citation” and “reference_doi” including additional references for secondary standards. • Addition of all references to the DOI landing page and DataCite Metadata • Renamed column “standard” to “secondary_standard” (in table Datasets) • Added metadata elements to tables: o sediment_type (in table Lakes) o dataset_url (in table Datasets) o secondary_standard_reference_1 (in table Datasets) o secondary_standard_reference_2 (in table Datasets) o calibration_curve (in table Major_Element_Data) • Deleted columns “data_availability“ and “geochemistry_available“ (in tables Tephra_Major_Elements, Tephra_Trace_Elements • Revised “sediment_type” column (in table Lakes) to classify lakes as “varved” and “non-varved” • Revised “material_description” column (in table Datasets) and added information on the nature of tephra samples • Replaced ”dataset_url” value in Ohrid-Co1202-Vogel_et_al-2010 dataset with dataset DOI (in table Datasets) • Changed citation style from "apa" to “elsevier-harvard” (table Datasets) • Typo correction
