ABSOLUTE DATING OF ROMANIAN LOESS USING LUMINESCENCE TECHNIQUES: PALAEOCLIMATIC IMPLICATIONS

Journal Title: EcoTerra (Journal of Environmental Research and Protection) - Year 2009, Vol 22, Issue 22

Abstract

Loess deposits preserve a potentially important and detailed archive of Pleistocene climate change; however, their significance can only be fully understood once a reliable and absolute chronology is available. Our study concerns the absolute dating of the most important loess deposits in Romania using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) methods. This paper presents general descriptions of these deposits together with our first luminescence results for the Mircea Vodă profile.
