Testing the applicability of optically stimulated luminescence dating to Ocean Drilling Program cores [PDF]
, 2017 Chronologies for marine sediments are usually constructed by tuning marine proxies for global ice volume (δ18O) to the well understood variations in the Earth's orbit, by the identification of event horizons and/or by radiocarbon dating.

Thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence of gamma-irradiated mineral zircon [PDF]
, 2007 Thermoluminescence (TL) manifested by gamma-irradiated mineral zircon has shown a strong TL peak at about 165 °C which is due to recombination of electrons and Dy3+ related shallow hole traps.

The first Neanderthal remains from an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site in the Levant [PDF]
, 2017 The late Middle Palaeolithic (MP) settlement patterns in the Levant included the repeated use of caves and open landscape sites. The fossil record shows that two types of hominins occupied the region during this period - Neandertals and Homo sapiens ...

Lowland river responses to intraplate tectonism and climate forcing quantified with luminescence and cosmogenic 10Be [PDF]
, 2013 Intraplate tectonism has produced large-scale folding that steers regional drainage systems, such as the 1600 km-long Cooper Ck, en route to Australia’s continental depocentre at Lake Eyre.
