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 …

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 …

In this book, the authors give an up-to-date account of thermoluminescence (TL) and other
thermally stimulated phenomena. Although most recent experimental results of TL in …

Luminescence dating of single grains requires a method of distinguishing between quartz
and feldspar based solely on their luminescence behaviour. Several methods are tested …

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 …

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

In quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating protocols, an initial integral of the
OSL decay curve is used in the calculation of equivalent dose, once a background integral …

Three exponential components have been isolated from observed high temperature OSL
decay data of quartz. These components have been found to display differential bleaching …
