Dating glacial and associated sediments is essential to provide a temporal framework for
accurate reconstructions of past climatic conditions and for hel** to determine the nature …

Anomalous fading in feldspars is now understood to be caused by the tunnelling of electrons
from one defect site to another. Here we present some experimental observations …

The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily
evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report a Middle …

Feldspar infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signals saturate at∼ 2000 Gy, ie∼ 500–
700 ka (assuming a dose rate of 3–4 Gy/ka, typical for loess) and it is therefore theoretically …

Two early Late Pleistocene (~ 105,000-to 125,000-year-old) crania from Ling**g, Xuchang,
China, exhibit a morphological mosaic with differences from and similarities to their western …

Thomsen, KJ, Murray, AS, Jain, M., Bøtter-Jensen, L.[2008. Laboratory fading rates of
various luminescence signals from feldspar-rich sediment extracts. Radiat. Meas. 43, 1474 …

A protocol for optical dating of potassium-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) is proposed. It utilizes the
infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signal measured by progressively increasing the …

Thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) are two of the most
important techniques used in radiation dosimetry. They have extensive practical applications …

The timing of the first arrival of Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and the degree to
which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous …

Past interglacial climates with smaller ice sheets offer analogs for ice sheet response to
future warming and contributions to sea level rise; however, well-dated geologic records …
