Arctic Present Climate Change and Past Extreme Events (ARCA) Tephra are volcanic particles that can be used as chrono-stratigraphic tool for correlating sedimentary archives once they have been identified. Marine sediments have been analyzed from the GS191-01 PC core recovered during the PREPARED CRUISE 2014 in the Arctic Sea (western of Svalbard Islands). Some of these samples resulted positive and geochemical analyses will be perfomed to determine the volcanic source and establish possible correlations with known eruptions.
