“…60-40 ka). Li et al (2018) confirm this age of the upper Mannheim Formation in the Heidelberg core based on two quartz ages. As most Middle Pleistocene sediments are beyond the dating limit of quartz, Lauer et al (2011) applied infrared radiofluorescence (IR-RF) to feldspars yielding ages between 288 ± 19 ka and 643 ± 28 ka.…”

“…As most Middle Pleistocene sediments are beyond the dating limit of quartz, Lauer et al (2011) applied infrared radiofluorescence (IR-RF) to feldspars yielding ages between 288 ± 19 ka and 643 ± 28 ka. However, Li et al (2018) state that these ages are underestimated due to signal loss (fading). Instead, Li et al (2018) used the post Infrared-Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (pIR) protocol, in which Infrared Stimulated Luminescence is first stimulated at 50 °C (IRSL or IR-50) followed by a second stimulation at 225 °C (pIR-225).…”

The Quaternary filling of the Upper Rhine Graben is an excellent archive to reconstruct sediment dynamics in response to climate change, in particular related to past glaciations of the Swiss Alpine Foreland. Here, a sediment sequence recovered by drilling for exploration purposes near Kronau is investigated, using a combination of sedimentological logging, provenance studies (heavy minerals and clast petrography), and luminescence dating. Several phases of coarse sediment aggradation are identified that possibly correlate to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 12 (478–424 ka), 10 (374–337 ka), 8 (300–243 ka), 6 (191–130 ka) and/or 4 (71–57 ka), and 2 (29–14 ka). Several of these phases have previously also been reported from cores recovered in the major Quaternary depo-centre near Heidelberg. This suggests that the observed coarse aggradation in the Upper Rhine Graben can be assigned to various glaciations in northern Switzerland: Möhlin (MIS 12), Habsburg (MIS 10 or 8), Beringen (MIS 6), an unnamed glacial advance during MIS 4, and Birrfeld (MIS 2). However, due to the limited data available, this hypothesis and the suggested correlations require further confirmation by applying the approach presented here to further cores from the Upper Rhine Graben.

“…The characteristic saturation dose (D 0 ) values of our dose-response curves were calculated based on Wintle and Murray (2006) ( Table 3). The resultant D 0 values, generally ranging between 300 and 500 Gy, were lower than the D 0 values of pIRIR 50/225 and pIRIR 50/290 signals reported by Li et al (2017) (500-730 Gy), which were obtained from the dose response curve to the saturation level. Though the size of the regenerative doses in this study were adequate to estimate a reliable D e value, these low 2D 0 values were calculated from the dose-response curve which was not constructed up to saturation level.…”

Abstract:To establish a suitable luminescence dating protocol for marine terrace deposits in Japan, we tested the applicability of K-feldspar post-infrared (IR) infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) (pIRIR) dating using a marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e terrace deposit from the Kamikita coastal plain (NE Japan), where independent age control from a tephra is available. One of the most commonly used pIRIR signals, measured at 290°C with the first IR stimulation temperature at 50°C (pIRIR 50/290 ), faded with a mean g 2days value of 1.94 ± 0.19%/decade. In contrast, the pIRIR signal with a higher first IR stimulation temperature of 200°C (pIRIR 200/290 ) had a much lower fading rate (g 2days = 0.16 ± 0.49%/decade). The average fading-uncorrected and -corrected pIRIR 200/290 ages of MIS 5e subtidal sediments obtained from two sampling sites were 126 ± 3 ka and 132 ± 2 ka, which is in good agreement with the independent age control. We conclude that is it is now possible to use pIRIR protocol to estimate the ages of not only marine terraces formed during MIS 5 substages (5a, 5c) but also of older marine terraces, for which age evidence is limited.

The loess–palaeosol sequence of Batajnica (Vojvodina region, Serbia) is considered as one of the most complete and thickest terrestrial palaeoclimate archives for the Middle and Late Pleistocene. In order to achieve a numerical chronology for this profile, four sets of ages were obtained on 18 individual samples. Equivalent doses were determined using the SAR protocol on fine (4–11 μm) and coarse (63–90 μm) quartz fractions, as well as on polymineral fine grains by using two elevated temperature infrared stimulation methods, pIRIR290 and pIRIR225. We show that the upper age limit of coarse quartz OSL and polymineral pIRIR290 and pIRIR225 techniques is restricted to the Last Glacial/Interglacial cycle due to the field saturation of the natural signals. Luminescence ages on coarse quartz, pIRIR225 and pIRIR290 polymineral fine grains are in general agreement. Fine quartz ages are systematically lower than the coarse quartz and pIRIR ages, the degree of underestimation increasing with age. Comparison between natural and laboratory dose response curves indicate the age range over which each protocol provides reliable ages. For fine and coarse quartz, the natural and laboratory dose response curves overlap up to ~150 and ~250 Gy, respectively, suggesting that the SAR protocol provides reliable ages up to c. 50 ka on fine quartz and c. 100 ka on coarse quartz. Using the pIRIR225 and pIRIR290 protocols, equivalent doses up to ~400 Gy can be determined, beyond which in the case of the former the natural dose response curve slightly overestimates the laboratory dose response curve. Our results suggest that the choice of the mineral and luminescence technique to be used for dating loess sediments should take into consideration the reported limited reliability.
