“…For example, the intensity of the quartz ESR E' centre has been correlated with the density of alpha tracks (Kohno et al, 1995;Toyoda et al, 2001), and may hence prove to be a useful proxy for radiation damage, if developed further. Both TL and ESR of zircon and apatite could also be utilised as proxies for fission-track density, following recurring mention of an anti-correlation between fissiontrack density and TL/ESR intensity (Vaz and Senftle, 1971;Shulgin et al, 1974;Durrani et al, 1984;Amin, 1989;Ishii et al, 1991). Although, at low levels of radiation damage, contrary effects, i.e.…”

Trapped-charge dating methods including luminescence and electron spin resonance dating have high potential as low temperature (<100 °C) thermochronometers. Despite an early proof of concept almost 60 years ago, it is only in the past two decades that thermoluminescence (TL), electron-spin-resonance (ESR), and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), have begun to gain momentum in geological thermochronometry and thermometry applications. Here we review the physics of trapped-charge dating, the studies that led to its development and its first applications for deriving palaeo-temperatures and/or continuous cooling histories. Analytical protocols, which enable the derivation of sample specific kinetic parameters over laboratory timescales, are also described. The key limitation of trapped-charge thermochronometry is signal saturation, which sets an upper limit of its application to <1 Ma, thus restricting it to rapidly exhuming terrains (>200 °C Ma-1), or elevated-temperature underground settings (>30 °C). Despite this limitation, trapped-charge thermochronometry comprises a diverse suite of versatile methods, and we explore potential future applications and research directions.
