Abstract
ESF EuroCLIMATE Spring School: Late Quaternary timescales and chronology
Highlights
Selecting suitable samples may be tricky, especially for optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) and cosmogenic radionuclide dating, and it is advisable to work in close collaboration with the lab running the samples
Several free software programs are available for download (BCal, Bpeat, OxCal, Calib), and they all feature the most common calibration and correction options
A variety of tools based on Bayesian statistics (e.g., OxCal 4.0) are available to help construct these models and should always be used when constructing chronologies
Summary
ESF EuroCLIMATE Spring School: Late Quaternary timescales and chronology To familiarize geoscientists with recent developments in dating techniques, the European Science Foundation sponsored a EuroCLIMATE Spring School on “Late Quaternary Timescales and Chronology” from 20 to 26 April 2008, in Piran, Slovenia. The Spring School, organized by Barbara Wohlfarth (Stockholm University, Sweden) and Bernd Kromer (University of Heidelberg, Germany) brought together 15 lecturers and 40 participants from 17 different countries, mainly from Europe and Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
