Special attention is drawn to tephra grain alteration products, sensitive to standard lab treatment, but preserved using an impregnation technique developed here. Resulting blocks and thin sections provide a continuous archive of tephras that can be investigated through a wide range of non-destructive techniques encompassing polarising and fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with/without elemental analysis, and XRF-based core scanning %G English %L insu-00305247 %U https://insu.hal.science/insu-00305247 %~ INSU %~ UNIV-BREST %~ CNRS %~ GIP-BE %~ IPH %~ LGO %~ CMM %~ GEO-OCEAN
