LSTbase - a collation of Laacher See tephra occurrences

<p>LSTbase is a collation - from the literature - of locations at which Laacher See ejecta has been identified.</p> <p>The data are presented 'as is' with information taken from the published literature. The focus has been strictly on point-like occurrences in the medial and distal fields. For proximal mappings of tephra blankets and PDCs please consult the many publications by the late Hans-Ulrich Schmincke and collaborators. In addition, German soil maps also contain information on such blanket deposits (https://geoportal.bgr.de/mapapps/resources/apps/geoportal/index.html?lang=en#/geoviewer).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Laacher See tephra occurrences are by default assumed to be the result of airfall; in some case - chiefly in relation to deposits along the River Rhine - they are classed as fluvially deposited, however. Please consult the original publications for further information.</p> <p>Whenever the information is provided in the original publications, section or core labels are given.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Coordinates are provided in WGS84; not all locations are precise.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For additional datapoints or corrections, please contact f.riede@cas.au.dk</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>An earlier version of this dataset was published in Tephrabase (https://www.tephrabase.org/laacherSee.html) and reported in Riede, Felix, Oliver Bazely, Anthony J. Newton, and Christine S. Lane. &ldquo;A Laacher See-Eruption Supplement to Tephrabase: Investigating Distal Tephra Fallout Dynamics.&rdquo; Quaternary International 246, no. 1&ndash;2 (2011): 134&ndash;44. https://doi.org/doi: 10.1016/j.quaint.2011.06.029.</p>
