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 …

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

In quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating protocols, an initial integral of the
OSL decay curve is used in the calculation of equivalent dose, once a background integral …

Loess in the Carpathian Basin is some of the thickest and most complete in Europe. Located
in the Vojvodina region of the southern Carpathian Basin the Crvenka loess-palaeosol …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) was first observed from natural quartz 30 years
ago. Since it increases with exposure to radiation, OSL has been developed as a dating tool …

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) …

This paper reviews recent research on the application of the physical dosimetry techniques
of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and luminescence (optically stimulated …

Dating of ancient permafrost is essential for understanding long-term permafrost stability and
interpreting palaeoenvironmental conditions but presents substantial challenges to …

Luminescence dating techniques have been applied to a range of different types of coastal
and marine deposits, involving a variety of depositional processes and environments, as a …

We report investigations of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals of
sedimentary quartz from different regions of Asia, Africa, Europe and North America using a …
