  abstract = {{T}he {H}olocene explosive eruptive record of {R}ungwe and {N}gozi volcanoes of the {R}ungwe {V}olcanic {P}rovince in {T}anzania was reconstructed based on detailed stratigraphic field evidence combined with whole-rock major and trace element analyses of tephra samples. {T}his reconstruction is supported by 25 new radiocarbon dates on palaeosols that provide additional constraints on the {H}olocene tephro-chronostratigraphy. {W}e show evidence of two catastrophic {N}gozi eruptions and five {R}ungwe pumice fallout deposits, and also identify several more intercalated poorly preserved pumice and ash deposits. {T}he {N}gozi eruptions probably played a role in shaping the present-day caldera. {T}he {R}ungwe record includes a ca. 2.2 km(3) deposit of a {P}linian-style eruption dated at ca. 4 ka, a sub-{P}linian one at ca. 2 ka and at least three additional smaller-scale fallout deposits. {T}he {R}ungwe explosive eruptive record shows that the volcano has been frequently active in its late {H}olocene past. {T}his study highlights the need for volcanic monitoring in the region and presents herewith the first basis of future volcanic hazard assessment.},
