26,000-year-old Kawakawa/Oruaniu supereruption shards found in Tasmania provide evidence of their far-reaching impact.
A study led by Dr. Jenni Hopkins has discovered volcanic glass shards from the 26,000-year-old Kawakawa/Oruaniu supereruption in a Tasmanian wetland, 2,500 kilometers from New Zealand. Found in Yellow Marsh, these shards provide evidence of the far-reaching impact of volcanic events. This research highlights the potential for distant deposits from such eruptions, as no supereruptions have occurred in Australia in the last three million years.
