Tephramap of Richard Streeter's sites
This map displays all of the tephra sites from Richard Streeter's PhD. The cluster of sites to the east of Mŭrdalsjökull (Skaftatunga) form the core of this project and more details can read in "Streeter, R. and Dugmore, A. (2014) Late-Holocene land surface change in a coupled social ecological system, southern Iceland: a cross-scale tephrochronology approach. Quaternary Science Reviews 86, 99-114.".

Tephrabase has details of tephra layers at 216 sites.
From the start Tephrabase has included a mapping feature. In 1995, when Tephrabase was launched, we originally used the XeroxPARC Map Viewer for displaying the locations of sites. This early web mapping service was discontinued in the early 2000s. For several years Google Maps was the means of showing locations. Tephrabase now uses OpenLayers as its main mapping system, through which a variety of basemaps are available including Google and OpenStreetMaps. A variety of satellite images and maps are therefore available.. For example, if you search for all the sites where Hekla 4 is found, a Google Map will be produced along with the other information.
