[ 0450 ± 250 years ] Discredited Eruption
Citations to a Te Puke eruption in this time period generally have their origins with Kear (1961), citing a personal communication from H.W. Wellman who identified volcanic "bombs" up to 2 inches long in coastal deposits at Onewhero. Based on dating of overlying and underlying deposits, Wellman put a date window of 700 CE (Loisel Pumice) to 200 CE (Leigh Pumice) on the deposit (see also Wellman, 1962). These basalts were presumed to have been from an eruption of Te Puke. Kear and Thompson (1964) restated this as an eruption at about 1,500 BP. | Cole and Nairn (1975, CAVW) listed multiple eruptions between 550 and 1,950 BP (combined in one entry) based on work by Kohn (1973) and Wellman (1962) dating pumice layers. | Smith (in Johnson et al., 1989) stated that the "most recent eruption was only about 1800-1300 years ago on the basis of radiocarbon dating of carbonised wood from beneath young basalt flows at Te Puke in the Bay of Islands (Kear & Hay, 1961)". The Kear and Hays (1961) geological map (not viewed by GVP staff) may reference the dating of pumice flows, but the nature and provenance of the overlying basaltic material is not clear considering the information in Kear (1961). Latter (1994 pers. comm.) noted that there is considerable doubt about the 1,500 BP date. | Stipp and Thompson (1971) obtained a K/Ar date of 17 ± 6 ka, but noted concerns that precluded "any real confidence in the indicated age". | A basalt lava flow sample from Te Puke was K/Ar dated by Smith et al. (1993) to 140 ± 6 ka, with a lava flow from Tauanui giving the youngest result from the volcanic field at 60 ± 50 ka. The same samples analyzed by Shane (reported in Coote et al., 2018) resulted in K/Ar dates of 83 ± 17 ka for Te Puke and 53 ± 21 ka for Tauanui.

WOVOdat
Single Volcano View Temporal Evolution of Unrest Side by Side Volcanoes |
WOVOdat is a database of volcanic unrest; instrumentally and visually recorded changes in seismicity, ground deformation, gas emission, and other parameters from their normal baselines. It is sponsored by the World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.
GVMID Data on Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure The Global Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure Database GVMID, is aimed at documenting and improving capabilities of volcano monitoring from the ground and space. GVMID should provide a snapshot and baseline view of the techniques and instrumentation that are in place at various volcanoes, which can be use by volcano observatories as reference to setup new monitoring system or improving networks at a specific volcano. These data will allow identification of what monitoring gaps exist, which can be then targeted by remote sensing infrastructure and future instrument deployments. |
