A step-by-step evaluation of empirical methods to quantify eruption source parameters from tephra-fall deposits
Abstract This paper describes the step-by-step process of characterizing tephra-fall deposits based on isopach, isomass and isopleth maps as well as thickness transects at different distances from their source. It covers the most frequently used empirical methods of integration (i.e., exponential, p...
