Quantitative evaluation of tephra
deposit is a useful tool to indirectly
date volcanic deposits and its
associated sedimentary rocks. This
method can bridge the gap of limitation
of various radiometric methods. In the
Philippines where volumetric deposits of
tephra exists, "Tephrochronology" will
certainly be a tool that can bring forth
fruitful results.
