__'''Tephra deposits: extracting information from the field and cores'''______

 # What should be recorded/observed on the field?
 # Should the uncertainty be recorded?
 # How to distinguish primary from reworked deposit?
 # What is the influence of the environment on the deposit? (e.g. how a tephra layer looks on a lake core vs a sea core vs an ice core vs ground)
 # What is the impact of time on a deposit?
 # General guideline on what to record and how to measure?
