Luminescence and electron spin resonance (ESR) dating have contributed significantly to many studies in geoscience and archaeology over the last 20 years. The progresses in dating techniques have enabled accurate determinations of the ages from decades to million years. They are now applied not only to obtain ages of tephra, sediment, and fault gouge but also to determine surface exposure ages. Low temperature thermochronometry with luminescence is a state of the art method to determine the degradation and uplift rates on high temporal resolution. Based on the newest technical advances in luminescence and ESR dating methods, this session will cover a wide range of these dating applications to problems in Quaternary geochronology and earth-surface processes, and also innovative applications of great potential. Participants who have relevant research interests are welcome to join the discussion to seek new research collaboration.
