Short summary
The TephAta database collects information on volcanic ash layers from the Atacama Desert, including their physical properties, geochemical composition, and age. The dataset provides a basis for identifying the same volcanic ash layers in different sediment deposits making it possible to link and date sediments It also supports studying how ash spread and understanding the region’s volcanic past.
