9725531 Berger Quantitative measurements of thermoluminescence (TL) of minerals in unheated sediments provide a dating technique useful in a variety of applications in paleoclimate, paleoseismic, volcano, and stratigraphic research. The TL method is especially useful for age-dating extending to ages beyond the practical application of the radiocarbon technique (ca. 40 to 50 thousand years). This award provides fifty percent of the funds required to purchase instrumentation for the upgrade of a TL dating laboratory at the Desert Research Institute of the University of Nevada. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the purchase of the equipment. ***

对未加热沉积物中矿物的热释光（TL）的定量测量为古气候、古地震、火山和地层学研究提供了一种有用的测年技术。TL法尤其适用于放射性碳技术实际应用之外的年代测年（约4万至5万年）。该合同将提供50%的资金，用于购买仪器，升级内华达大学沙漠研究所的TL测年实验室。该机构承诺提供购买设备所需的剩余资金。＊＊＊
