Parallel laminations in an eolian sand dune deposit in the wasters #Mojave for this #FieldPhotoFriday. We used #luminescence #geochronology to constrain the age of these deposits to ~30,000 years old. They were most likely blown off of the dry lake bed of #Pleistocene Lake Thompson during a low stand and deposited up against high topography where we collected them.

Hello everyone!
New here; escaping the hellscape of Twitter.

Here is a short intro. I'm Kaja a #Quaternary Scientist based at University of Liverpool.
I work on:
• developing #chronology using #luminescence dating (#OSL)
• understanding sediment #provenance using #geochemistry
• #dust records of environmental change (#loess)

I also bake, climb, hike, row, and absolutely love rocks 🪨🖤

The RLum.Network migrates to Mastodon. However, we did not abandon Twitter (yet); for the moment, it remains a co-existence.

Who are we? (#Introduction)
We are geoscientists and physicists concerned with #luminescence data analysis using the statistical programming environment #R. This channel mainly reports on scientific publications and updates about our #RPackages.

Hi everyone!

It's time for a proper #introduction. I am a full-time #geographer, #geochronologist, and #data scientist working as a researcher at the #luminescence laboratory at the Ruprecht-Karls University #Heidelberg.

My work focuses on developing and applying new methods in #geochronolgy (#luminescence_dating) to constrain rapid environmental changes throughout the #Quaternary.
