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 …

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating allows age determination of sediments
deposited during the last glacial‐interglacial cycle. This relatively new technique therefore …

For glacigenic sediments, Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating offers an
opportunity to date the time of deposition of quartz and feldspar minerals that are ubiquitous …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of young (< 1000 years) sediments is used
increasingly in a wide variety of late-Holocene studies as a mean of establishing …

Chronological control remains critical to the interpretation of environmental change and to
establishing long-term rates of geomorphological processes. Radiocarbon dating will …

Luminescence dating is an important technique for providing chronological control for
Quaternary sedimentary sequences. In this article recent developments in luminescence …

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 …

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating has enormous potential for interpreting
fluvial sediments, because the mineral grains used for OSL dating are abundant in fluvial …

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 …

Much effort has been focussed on understanding the luminescence properties of natural
minerals to achieve a reliable, accurate and precise dating technique. However, some field …
