“…In addition, lack of continuous and suitable dating materials also makes it a challenging work to obtain accurate chronologies of fluvial-lacustrine sediment by 14 C dating. In nearly two decades, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating had been widely applied to dating lake sediments in order to improve the 14 C dating problems (English et al, 2001;Berger and Doran, 2001;Olley et al, 2004;Cupper, 2008;Madsen et al, 2008;Fan et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2009;Shen et al, 2015;Ozcelik, 2016;Hu et al, 2017;Lehmann et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2015;Ideker et al, 2017;May et al, 2018;Harning et al, 2018).…”
