TLDR
In this paper, a protocol for optical dating of potassium-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) is proposed, which utilizes the IRSL signal measured by progressively increasing the stimulation temperature from 50 to 250°C in step of 50°C, so-called multi-elevated-temperature post-IR IRSL (MET-pIRIR) measurements.

A robust feldspar luminescence dating method for Middle and Late Pleistocene sediments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a post-IR IRSL (IRSL) method for the dating of Middle and Late Pleistocene sediments, which appears to avoid signal instability.

Review and assessment of the potential of post-IR IRSL dating methods to circumvent the problem of anomalous fading in feldspar luminescence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent progress made on overcoming anomalous fading of feldspar, and the development of pIRIR dating techniques for feldspars.

Ice-volume-forced erosion of the Chinese Loess Plateau global Quaternary stratotype site.

TL;DR: It is shown that the interpretation of a benchmark archive in China has been inaccurate, and that ice volume primarily controls desert dynamics, sediment preservation, and precipitation at the site, which demonstrates the dominant influence of ice volume on desert expansion, dust dynamics and sediment preservation.

Evaluating the suitability of extended-range luminescence dating techniques over early and Middle Pleistocene timescales: Published datasets and case studies from Atapuerca, Spain

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the reliability of thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) and post-infrared infrared stimulated luminecence (pIR-IRSL) over Middle and Early Pleistocene timescales using two approaches: (i) a broad-scale synthesis of extended-range luminance chronologies published so far as part of known-age comparison studies; and (ii) a series of new TT-osL and pIR-irSL case studies at the palaeoanthropological sites of Galeria

Luminescence dating of quartz using an improved single aliquot regenerative-dose protocol

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interpretation of the sensitivity corrected growth curve as a function of dose, and the effect of changing measurement conditions (e.g., preheat temperature, size of test dose, stimulation temperature) on the estimation of De.

Cosmic ray contributions to dose rates for luminescence and ESR dating: Large depths and long-term time variations

TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of cosmic rays to the dose rates for TL/ESR dating depends on altitude, latitude and depth below ground level, and the effects are shown to be small over the past 500 ka in most circumstances.

A review of quartz optically stimulated luminescence characteristics and their relevance in single-aliquot regeneration dating protocols

TL;DR: Different single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocols have been applied for some years to quartz grains for determining the equivalent dose, in both dating and retrospective dosimetry studies as mentioned in this paper.

Correlation between climate events in the North Atlantic and China during the last glaciation

TL;DR: The authors examined grain-size data from Chinese loess and intercalated accretionary palaeosols of last-glacial age for evidence of similar climate signals remote from the North Atlantic region.
