The surface of Mars has been, and continues to be, shaped by fluvial, eolian and glacial processes. The timeframe of these events is, however, poorly established. We describe efforts and challenges to adapt optically stimulated luminescence dating for robotic in-situ dating of martian sediments. Mineral mixtures were devised as simulants of martian regolith. The single-aliquot regeneration procedure was modified to enable the determination of the equivalent dose for polymineral samples. Bleaching experiments with a solar simulator suggest efficient zeroing of the OSL signal for solar-exposed sediments on Mars.
The effect of thermal transfer on the zeroing of the luminescence of quartz from recent glaciofluvial sediments
We finally present evidence for a non-fading signal using one of these methods based on pulsed IR stimulation. The most commonly used geochronological technique has been radiocarbon dating, which was also one of the first Quaternary dating methods to be invented and to be studied in detail. Radiocarbon dating is relatively affordable and this has undoubtedly assisted with its popularity. Although this method has contributed greatly to our understanding of Earth history, its use is nevertheless limited. The only method that comes close to satisfying all of these conditions is luminescence dating. Olley, J. M., Caitcheon, G. G.
