While there has been significant research on the dating of paleoearthquakes using methods such as surface cosmogenic dating, and trench-based luminescence or radiocarbon this paper focuses implementing an alternative method a fault scarp-based optically stimulated (OSL) approach. Hence for first time, we investigated Pleistocene to Holocene earthquake cycle Manisa Fault, one dip-slip active fau...

Abstract The quality and quantity of geochronologic data used to constrain the history major earthquakes in a region exerts first-order control on accuracy seismic hazard assessments that affect millions people. However, evaluations geochronological are limited by uncertainties related inherently complex depositional processes may vary spatially temporally. To improve confidence models earthqua...

Based on field investigation, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and sedimentary analyses, this research shows that the Yinduba paleolandslide-dammed lake (PDL) was formed by a catastrophic rock avalanche damming Jinsha River before 74 ka ago. According to blocked ancient riverbed, depth determined about 110 m corresponding length 22 km when level reached peak. Geomorphologic featur...

Late Pleistocene outburst megafloods, mostly from glacial Lake Missoula, hydraulically ponded behind downstream constrictions in the Columbia River southeastern Washington State, USA. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages for flood deposits Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site, located a high (315–320 m asl) distal portion of transient lake, indicate that at least seven floods enough to inundate a...

HfO 2 is a metal oxide from the IV-B family whose properties have been widely applied in electronics and which displays an important blue emission. Despite this fact, few studies dedicated to understanding role of heat treatment on its luminescence properties. Therefore, study aimed investigate Photoluminescence (PL) Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) powder synthesized by precipitation me...

iran is one the most tectonically active parts of the world and regularly experiences earthquakes of both low and high magnitude. therefore, earthquake hazard assessment before any kind of building construction and for already built and populated area is essential. a vital first step in this type of study is to identify, map, and determine the activity of faults within a given region. investiga...

Abstract The Lanna group is a traditional ceramic production style from Southeast Asia, with several kiln sites found distributed all over present northern Thailand. However, its origin and development are considered controversial chronological constraints scarce. Applied here radiocarbon dating to charcoal remains luminescence ceramics, wall material, fluvial sediments the Ban Bo Suak archaeol...

The purpose of this study was to review application of a consistent correction method for the solid state detectors, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters (chips (cTLD) and powder (pTLD)), optically stimulated detectors (both closed (OSL) and open (eOSL)), and radiochromic (EBT2) and radiographic (EDR2) films. In addition, to compare measured surface dose using an extrapolation ionization chambe...

Purpose In 2011, the International Commissionon Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended reducing threshold dose for lens. Therefore, it is important to reduce lens exposure in medical exposures. a cranio-caudal (CC) view of mammography, patient' s receives scattered radiation. this study, we investigated scatter around during mammography and reviewed simple easy protection methods Methods Op...
