Timing of Medieval Fluvial Aggradation at Bremgarten in the Southern Upper Rhine Graben – a Test for Luminescence Dating [PDF]

Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2009
The Holocene flood plain of the River Rhine is a complex dynamic sedimentary system. A series of geochronological results for the Bremgarten section including optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon dating was determined to improve the ...

Global Cooling Driving the Increase in Erosion Rates Across the Himalaya Since the Quaternary

Geophysical Research Letters
Late Cenozoic global cooling is well documented, yet its impact on erosion rates in active mountain belts, particularly after the onset of Quaternary glaciation, remain contentious.

Timing and dynamics of Late Wolstonian Substage ‘Moreton Stadial’ (MIS 6) glaciation in the English West Midlands, UK

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Glaciation during the late Middle Pleistocene is widely recognized across continental northwest Europe, but its extent and palaeoenvironmental significance in the British Isles are disputed. Although glaciogenic sediments at Wolston, Warwickshire, in the

Luminescence characteristics of muddy sediments in the turbidity maximum zone of the Yangtze River mouth and implications for the depositional mechanisms

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Muddy sediments are the most prominent constituents of sedimentary successions in tide-dominated river deltas and have highly complex depositional mechanisms.

Last interglacial (MIS 5e) sea-level proxies in southeastern South America [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2021
Coastal southeast South America is one of the classic locations where there are robust, spatially extensive records of past high sea level. Sea-level proxies interpreted as last interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage 5e, MIS 5e) exist along the length of the

Testing optically stimulated luminescence dating on sand-sized quartz of deltaic deposits from the Sperchios delta plain, central Greece

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2018
This study reports on the first investigation into the potential of luminescence dating to establish a chronological framework for the depositional sequences of the Sperchios delta plain, central Greece.

Dating the megalithic culture of laos: Radiocarbon, optically stimulated luminescence and U/Pb zircon results.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The megalithic jar sites of Laos (often referred to as the Plain of Jars) remain one of Southeast Asia's most mysterious and least understood archaeological cultures. The sites, recently inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage, host hollowed stone jars, up to

Luminescence dating approaches to reconstruct the formation of plaggic anthrosols [PDF]

SOIL
Plaggic anthrosols demonstrate the significant and widespread influence of agriculture on the landscape of northern Europe and testify to increased land-use intensity over the last millennium.

Holocene sedimentary of the Pearl River Delta in South China: OSL and radiocarbon dating of cores from Zhuhai

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Deltaic sediments provide a window for investigating delta development processes and the effects of human activities. Despite the fact that numerous studies have been conducted in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), the chronological data are still very limited,
