Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored in …

Different single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocols have now been applied for some
years to quartz grains for determining the equivalent dose, in both dating and retrospective …

Optical dating of sediment using optically stimulated luminescence has become important
for studying Earth surface processes, and this technique continues to develop rapidly. A …

Thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) are two of the most
important techniques used in radiation dosimetry. They have extensive practical applications …

Abstract: Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of light-exposed sediments is used
increasingly as a mean of establishing a sediment deposition chronology in a wide variety of …

Luminescence from quartz is commonly used in retrospective dosimetry, in particular for the
dating of archaeological materials and sediments from the Quaternary period. The …

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating allows age determination of sediments
deposited during the last glacial‐interglacial cycle. This relatively new technique therefore …

Over the last few years, we have become increasingly confident that quartz is a reliable
natural dosimeter for sediment dating. Nevertheless, there is only a limited understanding of …

Luminescence dating is a tool frequently used for age determination of Quaternary materials
such as archaeological artefacts, volcanic deposits and a variety of sediments from different …

Dating glacial and associated sediments is essential to provide a temporal framework for
accurate reconstructions of past climatic conditions and for helping to determine the nature …
