Abstract
This paper describes ways that Infra-Red Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL) signals from K-feldspar grains can be used to determine patterns and rates of sediment transport. In particular, it focusses on the potential provided by single grains to reveal their individual exposure and burial histories by the application of multiple elevated temperature (MET) IRSL measurements. We examine similarities and differences in bleaching behaviour with different light sources and introduce the concept of an equilibrium bleach. We present data on the variability of bleaching parameters for grains from single sediment samples, and discuss different analysis approaches to best determine individual grain histories. We describe a single grain “bleach recovery” experiment, and the application of a combined growth-bleach protocol designed to allow optimal data collection of both aspects of grain behaviour. We discuss the development of a burial-bleach model using numerical simulations based on direct observations of sample characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Quaternary Geochronology is an international journal devoted to the publication of the highest-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of dating methods applicable to the Quaternary Period - the last 2.6 million years of Earth history. Reliable ages are fundamental to place changes in climates, landscapes, flora and fauna - including the evolution and ecological impact of humans - in their correct temporal sequence, and to understand the tempo and mode of geological and biological processes.
