Second Announcement: Fifth New World Luminescence Dating and Dosimetry
Workshop


The fifth New World Luminescence Dating and Dosimetry Workshop (NWLDDW)
will be held at the Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the
University of Illinois at Chicago.  Workshop presentations are planned for
October 13 to 14, 2007 (Saturday and Sunday) at the Univ. of Illinois
campus in Chicago.  This workshop will gather a diverse group of
researchers in Quaternary geology, geomorphology, archaeology, luminescence
geochronology, solid-state physics and geochemistry to discuss advances in
optical dating and dosimetry. Presentations on the application of
techniques, method development, associated physics,and broader
geochronologic and dosimetric implications are welcome. All presentations
will be oral. We anticipate two days of presentations and some time for
enjoying the Univ. of Illinois campus and the surrounding city.
