Needs revision - age estimate now ~30ka

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This eruption, whose widespread deposits are generically known as the Aira-Tanzawa tephra, is now thought to be rather older. The latest/best age estimates derive from cores from Lakes Biwa and Suigetsu and they indicate an age of 29.43-30.15ka (e.g., Smith et al, 2013, Quat Sci Rev 67:121-137). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cstarknyc (talk • contribs) 14:38, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I have noted the need for revision and acted as 5 years inaccuracy irritating. Smith et al is the definitive at moment dating reference for tephra in this part of Japan as far as I can ascertain working through the academic literature, which is not all accessible to me. I have removed inaccurate statement "It is Japan's most active caldera with hundreds of minor eruptions from its volcanoes occurring each year." see for example even a travel blog more accurate ChaseKiwi (talk) 15:02, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I wrote this article for an university assignment and as I have not undertaken a Geology/ Volcanology degree, I am slightly hesitant that I have stated something incorrectly. Please feel free to edit and correct anything wrong. Thank you for reading the article :) Jasmerisah (talk) 04:31, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
