EGU is coming up fast and there is a lot going on! This includes two sessions on Monday and Tuesday, a social on Tuesday night, our townhall on Wed in Room N1 (7-8pm), and workshop on Thursday. Check out the attachment for details #EGU2026 @egu.eu @iavcei.bsky.social @oxfordtephra.bsky.social

This is a flyer describing events tied to the Commission on Tephrochronology at the European Geophysical Union meeting that kicks of Monday May 4th There are two tephra-related sessions called “Hazards related to explosive volcanism: tephra dispersal and pyroclastic density currents” Posters are on Tuesday 5th May, 08:30–10:15 in Hall X2 and Oral session on Tuesday 5th May, 16:15–18:00 Room 2.21. With invited speaker Mathieu Colombier of Munich University And “Tephra research beyond boundaries: integrative applications and data-driven innovation in Earth system sciences” With Posters on Monday 4th May 08:30-10:15 in Hall X3; and Oral session on Tuesday 5th May 08:30-10:15 in Room 2.93. With invited speakers Matthew Loewen of the Alaska Volcano Observatory and Victoria Smith of the University of Oxford. Other related meetings and workshops include The Commission on Tephrochronology Community Meeting on Wednesday 6th May, from 19:00-20:00 in Room N1. Join for updates and announcements, including the next venue of Tephra 2028 and other exciting events. There is also the Tephra Information Portal Townhall on Thursday 7th May from 19:00-20:00 in Room M1. Find out what TIP is and how it is helping provide researchers with a central hub for discovering, accessing and sharing data. There will be a StraboField Tephra workship. This is a free field app to collect tephra stratigraphic data: Runs on Tuesday May 5th from 16:15-18:00 and 19:00-20:00 in Room 2.42. RSVP appreciated but not required at https://forms.gle/PYbxoGLWV7b53WCg9 Finally COT is trying to organize a social after the COT Townhall on Wednesday May 6th after 8 pm.

Check out our new paper that establishes the timing of the enormous Aso-3 caldera forming eruption and dispersal across Japan 🇯🇵🌋🔎

Oxford Tephrochronology Group@oxfordtephra.bsky.social · 6mo ago

🌋 New paper out in QSR! McLean et al. (2026) shows that the Aso-3 caldera-forming eruption (SW Japan) marks the termination of MIS 6, providing a key tephrochronological marker for correlating East Asian paleoclimate records. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Tephra #LakeSuigetsu #Aso

Fig. 8 from McLean et al. (2026). Flux of (a) marine diatom taxa Thalassiosira spp. + Cymatotheca (counts/mm2/year) and (b) percentages of Cryptomeria and Quercus-E pollen, recorded in the Lake Suigetsu (SG06) sedimentary sequence. The red dashed line indicates the position of the Aso-3 distal tephra layer (SG14-6662). The green bar marks the interval of laminated sediments corresponding to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e. Modified from Francke et al. (2025).
