OSL dating of glacier extent during the Last Glacial and the Kanas Lake basin formation in Kanas River valley, Altai Mountains, China

Re‐evaluation of MIS 3 glaciation using cosmogenic radionuclide and single grain luminescence ages, Kanas Valley, Chinese Altai

“…; third set in Zhao et al ., ), has been divided into three subsets based primarily on moraine ridge density, height and slope criteria. Using OSL dating, these three subsets were related to glacial stages during MIS 2 (∼28 ka), mid‐MIS 3 (∼38–52 ka) and early MIS 3 or MIS 4 (∼50 or ∼73 ka; Xu et al ., ; Zhao et al ., ), respectively. In addition, Zhao et al .…”

“…Lehmkuhl et al, 2004;Mangerud et al, 2004;Koppes et al, 2008;Xu et al, 2009;Potsch et al, 2015;Baryshnikov et al, 2015;Batbaatar and Gillespie, 2016). In some cases, the regional LGM ELA depression was only a little greater (e.g.…”

Luminescence dating of glacial deposits near the eastern Himalayan syntaxis using different grain-size fractions

“…The OSL dating technique has been widely applied to glacial and associated sediments from the Himalaya and Tibet (e.g. Richards et al, 2000a, b;Tsukamoto et al, 2002;Owen et al, 2002aOwen et al, , 2009Spencer and Owen, 2004;Narama et al, 2007;Xu et al, 2009;Ou et al, 2010Ou et al, , 2014Zhang et al, 2012;Mehta et al, 2012;Zhao et al, 2012Zhao et al, , 2013Ali et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2014). However, incomplete bleaching of luminescence signals is sometimes a serious problem in OSL dating (Fuchs and Owen, 2008;Thrasher et al, 2009a).…”
