✦ Synopsis

The tephrochronology of Iceland and the North Atlantic region is reviewed in order to construct a unified framework for the last 400 kyr BP. Nearly all of the tephra layers described are also characterised geochemically. A number of new tephra layers are analysed for the first time for their geochemical signature and a number of pre-Holocene tephra layers have been given an informal denotation. The tephrostratigraphy of Ash Zone II is highlighted. Where possible the rhyolitic tephra layers found outside Iceland have been correlated to known Icelandic tephra layers or to the volcanic source area. The application of tephra fallout in various depositional environments is described and discussed.

## Abstract The surficial deposits and landforms of the middle Dyfi Valley, Wales, are examined and a sequence of glacial, glacio‐fluvial and glacio‐lacustrine sediments is identified. This is considered to relate to a late stage in the wastage of the Late‐Devensian Merioneth ice‐cap. A sequence of
