Abstract

Wuhan area located middle Yangtze River Basin, is dominated by East Asian Monsoon. Widely developed Holocene flu-lacustrine sediments are ideal materials for the reconstruction of paleoclimate change and geo-environment evolution, for which the chronology is a key issue. In this study, 20 luminescence dating samples were collected from a flu-lacustrine sequence and the reliability of the quartz OSL dating to these samples were checked by using luminescence characteristics of dose recovery test and thermos transfer test. Our results indicate that different grain size fraction of 4∼11 μm, 38∼63 μm, and 90∼125 μm were well-bleached before burial. Dating results show that all these ages range from 0.8 ± 0.1 to 7. 9 ± 0.7 ka between 4.25 and 38.55 m, and most of them follow the stratigraphic sequence and other climatic recorder within the normal range of error. Disordered OSL ages may be caused by complicated transport-deposit processes. As a consequence, OSL dating method of SAR-SGC protocol could provide a significant chronology for Holocene flu-lacustrine sediment in large river depo-system.
