“…Broad distributions, showing little or no asymmetry, have previously been reported for well-bleached samples (see e.g. Buylaert et al, 2009;Derese et al, 2009;Vandenberghe et al, 2009); the distributions observed for samples GSK-1 and -2 are thus not incompatible with a well-bleached nature. Table 1 summarizes the analytical data and OSL ages.…”

The Tibetan Plateau is regarded as an amplifier and driver of environmental change in adjacent regions because of its extent and high altitude. However, reliable age control for paleoenvironmental information on the plateau is limited. OSL appears to be a valid method to constrain the age of deposits of glacial and fluvial origin, soils and periglacial structures in the Menyuan basin on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Dating results show glaciers advanced extensively to the foot of the Qilian mountains at~21 ka, in agreement with the timing of the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) recorded in Northern Hemisphere ice cores. Comparison with results from the eastern Tibetan Plateau suggests that the factor controlling glacial advance in both regions was decreased temperature, not monsoon-related precipitation increase. The areas of the Menyuan basin occupied by glacio-fluvial deposits experienced continuous permafrost during the LGM, indicated by large cryoturbation features, interpreted to indicate that the mean annual temperature was ≥7°C lower than at present. Glacio-fluvial systems in the Menyuan basin aggraded and terraces formed during cold periods (penultimate glaciation, LGM, and possibly the Younger Dryas) as a response to increased glacial sediment production and meltwater runoff then.

“…The profile Defensiedijk had previously been sampled for thermoluminescence (TL) dating using feldspar, but the age results lacked precision (Dijkmans et al, 1992). Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of quartz is better suited to date sediments, and it has been successfully applied to Holocene and Late Pleistocene sediments (Murray and Olley, 2002;Ballarini et al, 2003;Vandenberghe et al, 2004Vandenberghe et al, , 2009Derese et al, in press) and soils in cultural landscapes (Bokhorst et al, 2005).…”

“…The second stratotype is located in Essen (Wildert; N51°25', E4°26') where the pebble horizon and periglacial deformation phenomena are described in abandoned clay excavation pits ( Fig. 3B Derese et al 2009;2010a;2010b;2012;Vandenberghe et al, 2009;Van Nieuland et al 2013a). Occasionally, sand deposits of the Opgrimbie Member have also been dated to the Holocene (see, e.g., Van Nieuland et al, 2013b).…”

ABSTRACT. In Belgian lithostratigraphy, the Gent Formation was previously introduced to encompass all Quaternary sandy aeolian sediments. It has been difficult to apply, however, as it was incomplete, regionally biased, and not based on sediment properties alone. To solve this problem the Gent Formation is revised both in terms of definition and subdivision. Morphological and chronological criteria were omitted to allow ranking strata on the basis of visible lithological properties. The Belgian sand belt is newly introduced to designate the area where these sediments were deposited. The Gent Formation is subdivided into five members based on distinct lithological properties, and as a consequence reflecting different palaeoenvironmental conditions during deposition. Whenever feasible, each member is put in a chronostratigraphical and geomorphical context. The new subdivision is discussed and compared with earlier Belgian lithostratigraphical frameworks, as well as to the most recent one for comparable deposits in the Netherlands.
