Global connections between aeolian dust, climate and ocean biogeochemistry at the present day and at the last glacial maximum
Palaeo-dust records in sediments and ice cores show that wind-borne mineral aerosol
('dust') is strongly linked with climate state. During glacial climate stages, for example, the …

Single‐grain optical dating of Quaternary sediments: why aliquot size matters in luminescence dating
GAT Duller - Boreas, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Optical dating measures the time that has elapsed since mineral grains were exposed to
daylight. The technique is ideal for sediments in which all the grains were exposed to …
