Luminescence from quartz is commonly used in retrospective dosimetry, in particular for the
dating of archaeological materials and sediments from the Quaternary period. The …

Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding
mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past …

Human footprints at White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA, reportedly date to
between~ 23,000 and 21,000 years ago according to radiocarbon dating of seeds from the …

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

The signal from the fast component is usually considered preferable for quartz optically
stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, however its presence in a continuous wave (CW) …

The potential use of a modified elevated temperature post-IR IR (pIRIR) SAR protocol for K-
rich feldspar was tested for seven late Pleistocene and Holocene samples from a coastal …

The loess-palaeosol sequence near Mircea Vodă (Dobrogea, SE Romania) is thought to
comprise at least five glacial/interglacial cycles. It is considered as one of the most …

The Amazon region hosts the world's largest watershed spanning from high elevation
Andean terrains to lowland cratonic shield areas in tropical South America. This study …

In this article we test for the first time the potential of single-grains of K-rich feldspar to date
well-bleached and poorly bleached sediments using a post-IR IRSL (pIRIR) protocol. We …

Luminescence dating provides a direct age estimate of the time of last exposure of quartz or
feldspar minerals to light or heat and has been successfully applied to deposits, rock …
