Abstract:

This MS Excel dataset contains tephra depth and age data from ocean drilling expeditions around Japan. IODP, ODP and DSDP shipboard core description records were examined for mentions of volcanic ash, tephra etc., according to criteria described in Mahony et al. 2014. Data are from shipboard visual core descriptions of ocean drilling expeditions located within a few hundred km of Japan. Cores without published age-depth data are not included in this dataset. The expeditions occurred between 1973 (DSDP 31) to 2013 (IODP 346). Tephra layers are dated as being deposited between 0.003-18.5 Ma. This data will be of interest to volcanologists or anyone interested in the location of volcanic ash layers within IODP cores.

statement:

Tephra occurrences with descriptive terms are included if they have greater than 25% tephra/volcanic ash (see Mahony et al. 2014 for details). Core name follows the IODP naming protocol, e.g. 127-794A represents Expedition 127, Site 794, Hole A. Depth of ash is depth in metres to the bottom of the ash layer where known, either given in the VCD text or digital data file, or measured off the VCD diagram. Depth is measured in metres below sea floor (mbsf). Age of ash is the age in millions of years, calculated using the depth below sea floor and linear interpolation of points from appropriate age-depth models. The age-depth models used are listed in the other workbook tabs, with a link to the source of the age-depth model. Some are the age-depth models generated during the expedition, but where possible we have used post-cruise age-depth models, as they are likely to have improved or refined the original shipboard age-depth models.
