Rock surface dating
-
There is growing interest in rock surface burial and exposure luminescence dating for use in Quaternary science and in archaeology. Such methods have enormous potential both in increasing the range of sedimentary contexts that can be dated, and improving the accuracy and the precision of dating within those contexts.

Spatially resolved optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) offers a means for rapid assessment of dose distributions in retrospective dosimetry and geochronology. Until recently, OSL imaging systems have largely been restricted to measurements of millimetre scale samples; this approach is not well suited for applications where the physical process of interest operates on centimetre scale (e.g., depth dependent trap eviction in exposed rocks, sediment mixing in soils, attenuation of gamma radiation, etc.).

Using luminescence to date the burial and exposure ages of rock surfaces has been a revolutionary new geochronological approach developed and refined over the past decade. Rock surface exposure dating is based on the principle that the depth to which the luminescence signal is bleached into a rock surface is dependent on the duration of that rock surface’s exposure to sunlight.

Techniques for spatially resolved measurements of infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL) and novel Infraredphotoluminescence (IRPL) emissions have recently been developed for applications of rock surface dating.

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) depth profiling utilizes an OSL-at-depth signal to extrapolate an exposure age from rock surfaces. Exposure ages are commonly obtained by fitting the forms of luminescence depth profiles, which depend on parameter estimates of light attenuation and defined rates of luminescence bleaching.
