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 …

Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in
precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo …

Accurate calculation of the environmental radiation dose rate (Ḋ) is an essential part of
trapped charge dating methods, such as luminescence and electron spin resonance dating …

Luminescence dating is used extensively to provide absolute chronologies for Late P
leistocene sediments. Nowadays, most optical dates are based on quartz optically …

Feldspar infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signals saturate at∼ 2000 Gy, ie∼ 500–
700 ka (assuming a dose rate of 3–4 Gy/ka, typical for loess) and it is therefore theoretically …

Feldspar as a retrospective dosimeter is receiving more and more attention because of its
useful luminescence properties; in particular the dose response curve extends to …

Two early Late Pleistocene (~ 105,000-to 125,000-year-old) crania from Lingjing, Xuchang,
China, exhibit a morphological mosaic with differences from and similarities to their western …

Abstract The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) utilises benchmark
chronostratigraphies to divide geologic time. The reliability of these records is fundamental …

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 …
