Introduction slide: Investigating tephra in sedimentary deposits using X-ray microtomography

Poster introduction slide presented at ToScA 2015 (Tomography for Scientific Advancement conference) held at Manchester University.

This presentation slide is associated with the poem and poster found in the links below.

The image shown is of a downward structure containing volcanic ash cross-cutting several layers of varved lake sediment. The image was rendered in Avizo and post-processed using inkscape.

This work relates to a larger project investigating the effect of sedimentary reworking on the position of the tephra isochrons.

This is a Swansea University funded project using equipment at Swansea's AIM facility.
