In the present article we review applications of luminescence methods for the determination
of the age of sediments for Quaternary Earth science.“Sediment” is taken to include any …

Luminescence dating determines the last exposure to light of quartz and feldspar mineral
grains and thus the time a sediment was laid down. Prerequisite is that the sediment grains …

Fluvial deposits and landforms are important archives of river response to climate, tectonics
and base level change and are commonly associated with archaeological sites. Unlike …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of develo** seismically safe building codes. The …

The deformed shorelines of Lake Bonneville constitute a classic source of information on
lithospheric elastic thickness and upper mantle viscosity. We describe and apply a new …

The chronology of M> 7 paleoearthquakes on the central five segments of the Wasatch fault
zone (WFZ) is one of the best dated in the world and contains 16 earthquakes in the past …

Since the publication of Paleoseismology (2nd Edition) in 2009, there has been no
comprehensive survey of new trends in Quaternary tectonics. This paper seeks to remedy …

The ages of some tsunami deposits can be determined by optical dating, a key requirement
being that the deposits are derived from sediment that was reworked and exposed to …

We present a method to evaluate and integrate paleoseismic data from multiple sites into a
single, objective measure of earthquake timing and recurrence on discrete segments of …

Inferring the frequency and magnitude of past earthquakes from the stratigraphy in
exposures of normal-faulted sediments is difficult because colluvial lithofacies assemblages …
