Session Description
Recent developments in dating methods have significantly improved our understanding of the Quaternary by offering finer temporal resolution. These advancements include improvements in instrumentation, sample preparation protocols, and statistical modelling, which together have enhanced dating accuracy. The Quaternary dating techniques are widely applied in various fields, including Geomorphology, Archaeology, Sedimentology, Climate Studies, Exhumation, and Denudation Studies. We invite submissions on recent advances in Quaternary dating methods (such as radiocarbon, luminescence, electron spin resonance, terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides, and dendrochronology) and their applications within Quaternary Science.
