Light gray to yellowish brown youngest Toba tuff(YTT)ash,preserved in the Quaternary sediments of India,have been used as a tool to know depositional and bracketing time period of the same in the sediments through app...
Knowledge on soil properties likely to influence P sorption in tephra soils is very important for sustainable management of available P. Sorption studies on six tephra soils were conducted to relate P sorption to soil...

Detailed rock magnetic investigations were undertaken at 2 -4 cm interval for the gravity core CSHI (with a length of 17.36 m) from the northern Okinawa Trough. Time-scale of the core was constructed by two characte...
A set of environmental magnetic parameters(i.e. magnetic susceptibility, xARM, IRMs, hysteresis loops and thermomagnetic curves) has been applied to two soil sections from SE Iceland. Results demonstrate that the main...
