Abstract

This chapter deals with the dating of dust archives, and mainly focuses on loess archives that are the most common terrestrial dust archives. It explores the various methods used for loess dating, including cyclostratigraphy based on observed patterns of variations of physical, chemical, and (or) biological parameters along loess-paleosol sequences, magnetostratigraphy, tephrostratigraphy, aminostratigraphy, luminescence dating (OSL/IRSL), radiocarbon dating, and others. It provides fundamental concepts and practical aspects and examines the challenges and limitations of these techniques. The discussion is based on examples that illustrate each of the approaches. The chapter ends with applications of these methods to the elaboration of robust chronostratigraphic frameworks and paleoclimatological and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
