  • A review of the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence signal from quartz for dating sediments (69 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Her main research concerns Optically stimulated luminescence, Quartz, Mineralogy, Luminescence and High doses. Her Optically stimulated luminescence study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Radiation, Loess and Thermoluminescence dating. Her Radiation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Radiocarbon dating, Infrared and Optical filter.

As part of her studies on Thermoluminescence dating, she often connects relevant areas like Quaternary sediments. Her Luminescence study focuses on Thermoluminescence in particular. Her work carried out in the field of Thermoluminescence brings together such families of science as Thermal quenching, Optical dating and Ultraviolet.
