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 …

To provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the
form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling, we …

The Tibetan Plateau is the highest and one of the most demanding environments ever
inhabited by humans. We investigated the timing and mechanisms of its initial colonization …

Questions surrounding the chronology, place, and character of the initial human colonization
of the Americas are a long-standing focus of debate. Interdisciplinary debate continues over …

We review geological evidence on the origin of the modern transcontinental Amazon River,
and the paleogeographic history of riverine connections among the principal sedimentary …

The BRITICE‐CHRONO consortium of researchers undertook a dating programme to
constrain the timing of advance, maximum extent and retreat of the British–Irish Ice Sheet …

The archaeological record of Africa provides the earliest evidence for the emergence of the
complex symbolic and technological behaviours that characterize Homo sapiens,,,,,–. The …

Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

Homo sapiens was present in northern Asia by around 40,000 years ago, having replaced
archaic populations across Eurasia after episodes of earlier population expansions and …

The development and application of luminescence dating and dosimetry techniques have
grown exponentially in the last several decades. Luminescence methods provide age …
