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 …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) was first observed from natural quartz 30 years
ago. Since it increases with exposure to radiation, OSL has been developed as a dating tool …

Extreme storm events in the coastal zone are one of the main forcing agents of short-term
coastal system behavior. As such, storms represent a major threat to human activities …

We pioneer a technique of surface‐exposure dating based upon the characteristic form of an
optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) bleaching profile beneath a rock surface; this …

Interest in the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of rock surfaces has increased
significantly over the last few years, as the potential of the method has been explored. It has …

In recent years luminescence dating has increasingly been applied to date glaciofluvial
sediments, but uncertainties about the degree of bleaching of the luminescence signal at …

The construction age of a pavement in a “Rodedian” prehistoric cult site in Negev desert,
Israel, is established by determining the burial age of (i) a cobble used in the pavement, and …

There is growing interest in rock surface burial and exposure luminescence dating for use in
Quaternary science and in archaeology. Such methods have enormous potential both in …

In this study, we investigate the potential of rock surfaces to provide luminescence burial
ages for boulders from moraine deposits. We sampled four boulders from a terminal moraine …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is used to determine the age of a rockfall event that
removed part of the pictograph figures at the Great Gallery rock art panel in Canyonlands …
