Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) as a chronometer for surface exposure dating [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2012 We pioneer a technique of surface‐exposure dating based upon the characteristic form of an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) bleaching profile beneath a rock surface; this evolves as a function of depth and time. As a field illustration of this new method, the maximum age of a premier example of Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) rock art in Canyonlands ...

Novel Luminescence Kinetic Models for Rock Surface Exposure Dating [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 Luminescence dating of rock surfaces is an emerging absolute chronological technique that has the potential to determine how long a rock surface has been exposed to daylight and/or how long it has been buried. By measuring the OSL signal as a function of depth into the rock surface, it is possible to determine how long the rock surface has been exposed

A zero-exposure time test on an erratic boulder: evaluating the problem of pre-exposure in Surface Exposure Dating [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2009 The method of surface exposure dating using in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides has become an important and widely applied tool in Quaternary science. One application is the dating of erratic boulders on moraines.

Evaluating optically stimulated luminescence rock surface exposure dating as a novel approach for reconstructing coastal boulder movement on decadal to centennial timescales [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2021 Wave-transported boulders represent important records of storm and tsunami impact over geological timescales. Their use for hazard assessment requires chronological information on their displacement that in many cases cannot be achieved by established ...

Nunataks as barriers to ice flow: implications for palaeo ice sheet reconstructions [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Numerical models predict that discharge from the polar ice sheets will become the largest contributor to sea-level rise over the coming centuries. However, the predicted amount of ice discharge and associated thinning depends on how well ice sheet models

Application of in-situ produced terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides to archaeology: A schematic review [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2008 The wide applicability of in-situ produced Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclides (TCNs) to geological problems and experiences in development and testing gained over the past decade is encouraging for its application to archaeological questions, where there is

Asynchronous glacial dynamics of Last Glacial Maximum mountain glaciers in the Ikh Bogd Massif, Gobi Altai mountain range, southwestern Mongolia: aspect control on glacier mass balance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Mountain glacier mass balance is affected by factors other than climate, such as topography, slope, and aspect. In midlatitude high-mountain regions, the north–south aspect contrast can cause significant changes in insolation and melt, resulting in local

Lichenometric Dating and Its Limitations and Problems: A Guide for Practitioners
Land, 2023 Lichenometry, a method for dating rock surface exposure mainly in high latitudes and mountain environments, is based on estimates of lichen growth rates, but over the last 70 years it has been severely criticised. Its chief limitation is its questionable
