“…Although beach sediments are generally expected to be bleached and to work well for luminescence dating (Jacobs, 2008), experience from Finland shows this is not always the case (Hyttinen et al, 2014). Also, a modern beach close to a glacier in Svalbard had an apparent dose that corresponded to an age overestimate of almost the same order as indicated here, ~400 years (Alexanderson and Murray, 2012b).…”

Abstract:Brattforsheden is a large glacifluvial deposit in southwestern Sweden and associated with it is one of Sweden's largest inland dune fields. Although the relative ages of the Brattforsheden deposits are well known, absolute ages from the area are few. In this study we have used optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), surface exposure ( 10 Be) and radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating to provide an absolute chronology for the deglaciation and for the Holocene development of the aeolian dunes. Our data show that the deglaciation took place just before 11 ka (11.5 ± 0.6 ka OSL, 11.3 ± 0.8 ka 10 Be), in line with the 14 C-based regional deglaciation age. Aeolian dunes started forming immediately after deglaciation and were active for at least 2000 years, well after vegetation had established. Renewed aeolian activity occurred 270-180 years ago, resulting in the deposition of sand sheets. Comparison between dating methods and studies of OSL dose distributions show that glacial, glacifluvial and littoral sediments suffer from incomplete bleaching and thus that mean OSL ages from such deposits overestimate the true depositional age. By using small aliquots and statistical age models, this effect can partly be countered. Also, some of the 10 Be ages appear too old, which may be due to previous exposure.

“…A comprehensive review by Jacobs (2008) compiles all these coastal studies and a review by Madsen and Murray (2009) summarizes the dating of young (<1000 years) coastal and aeolian sediments. So far, a limited number of studies have been published from coastal sites in New Zealand (Duller, 1996;Shulmeister et al 1999;ReesJones et al 2000;Nichol, 2002;Litchfield and Lian, 2004;Cooper and Kostro, 2006;Kennedy et al 2007) and these have focused mainly on Pleistocene deposits (older than 10,000 years).…”

Abstract:A new measurement protocol has been tested on K-feldspars from Whanganui Inlet and Parengarenga Harbour, New Zealand. A Single Aliquot Regenerative (SAR) dose protocol, using two successive infrared (IR) stimulations (post-IR IR SAR protocol) is setup for these young (<1000 years) coastal sediments. Significant anomalous fading (g 2days =7 %/decade) is observed using the conventional IR signal measured at 50°C. In contrast, the fading rate of the IR signal measured at elevated temperature (150°C) after the IR stimulation at 50°C (a post-IR IR signal) is not significant (g 2days ≤ 1 %/decade). Surprisingly low residual infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signals were observed for a surface sample, suggesting that accurate ages as young as ~50 years can be obtained for these recent deposits. IRSL ages ranging between 48±6 years and 1050±50 years are obtained from six samples, indicating that sediment accumulation has occurred at the two sites during the last millennia, despite a falling trend in relative sea-level in Whanganui Inlet and a stable relative sealevel at Parengarenga Harbour.

“…Radiocarbon dating was thus considered as unreliable compared with OSL dating for deposits of >40-50 ka BP (Yim et al, 1990;Yi et al, 2013). OSL dating has already been proven to be a robust dating method for coastal and marine sediments all over the world (e.g., Jacobs, 2008;Sugisaki et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2015). The second is the mechanism of transgression during MIS 3 and MIS 5 in the SYS.…”

Sedimentary records of the continental shelves since Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 are valuable for paleoenvironmental reconstruction and decipherment of land-sea interactions. Since the 1990s, different perspectives on global glacioclimate magnitudes and the associated evolution of major sedimentary environments during the Late Pleistocene have caused a distinctive understanding of marine transgressions and coastal deposits during MIS 3 and MIS 5. Moreover, the chronology of sediment sequences from this region was primarily determined based on radiocarbon dating, which might be problematic for deposits of 40-50 ka BP or older. In this study, we used both a 150-m-long sedimentary core (YZ07) as a typical record and 12 collected regional boreholes as a synthesis to resolve the issues. On the basis of an age model of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, the sedimentary sequences during the period from MIS 5 up to MIS 1 were documented by Core YZ07 drilled from the western coast of the South Yellow Sea (SYS), and the marine sediments were recognized by the paleontological fossils. The results indicate three terrestrial-marine sedimentary cycles since MIS 5, including the MIS 5, MIS 3, and MIS 1 marine transgressions as well as the MIS 2 and MIS 4 marine regressions in the coastal plain and offshore area of the SYS. Meanwhile, there was a major sedimentary hiatus during MIS 2 and MIS 4 due to strong erosions. Different dating methods on these regional cores, including AMS 14 C and OSL, have confirmed the existence of the MIS 3 marine transgression in the SYS. The intensity of marine transgression and the height of sea levels during MIS 3 and MIS 5 recorded in sediments were dominated by the changes of global climate-driven glaciers and regional tectonic movement.
