Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide an OSL dating framework for raised marine sequences in the South-West coast of Greece during Upper Quaternary. Paleontological investigations and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis on elevated marine landforms have proved that a record of uplift and eustacy exists in South Greece since the Early Pleistocene (∼1.6 Ma). Hereby, we test the suitability of the SAR methodology for recuperated-OSL (Re-OSL), proposed by Wang et al. (2007), on coarse-grained quartz aliquots from emerged nearshore outcrops. Protocol's performance is examined on the basis of signal characteristics, dose response, sensitivity changes, recovery of known doses and Re-OSL bleachability to sunlight. The accuracy of the Re-OSL dates calculated for natural samples is also discussed.
