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 …

In the present article we review applications of luminescence methods for the determination
of the age of sediments for Quaternary Earth science.“Sediment” is taken to include any …

We have tested the suitability of a new single-aliquot regenerative-dose protocol for
estimating the equivalent dose (De) in polymineral fine grains extracted from colluvia from …

Luminescence dating is a tool frequently used for age determination of Quaternary materials
such as archaeological artefacts, volcanic deposits and a variety of sediments from different …

In the optical dating of sediments it is usually assumed that the optically stimulated
luminescence (OSL) signal has been completely reset by light exposure prior to burial; this …

Luminescence dating has a proud history of association with archaeology, beginning almost
half a century ago. The subsequent decades of research have seen a range of …

Colluvial sediments accumulated on the lower slopes of a ridge as a result of past and
present soil erosion were dated by optical, 14C and archaeological methods. This allowed …

In South Germany, soil erosion is as old as farming and dates back to Early Neolithic times.
Its sedimentary products form thick colluvial and alluvial sediment bodies in all drainage …

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 …

Studies on the geomorphological evolution of the South American passive margin have
been based on the pediplanation model, which predicts that its morphology is a response to …
