Abstract
Varve chronologies are regarded as one of the most accurate dating techniques of the Quaternary. Most work currently focuses on the process of varve formation and the environmental histories revealed in the sediments. This review aims to examine the latest investigations in relation to the recent linking of the Swedish Varve Chronology to the present (Cato, 1986). It is concluded that the Chronology would benefit from a more detailed study of the processes of formation, and that this may be achieved by using volcanic ash (tephra) as an environmental tracer.
