R/V POSEIDON cruise P457 aimed further development of detailed marine tephrochronology of Iceland by sediment coring in order to improve our knowledge of the spatio-temporal evolution of Icelandic volcanism and related hazards. In addition, the marine record contains paleoclimatic information, which may relate recurrent glacier advances and land degradation periods to ocean and atmospheric circulation changes. A minor sub-project should contribute to a better understanding of Surtsey volcanism b
