Abstract
In order to test the accuracy of quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating for young dune sediments (<100 a), a series of aerial images of a migrating sand dune is used to cross validate OSL ages. The investigated dune is situated on the northern part of the island of Sylt (southern North Sea). Based on aerial images and a map from 1925 to 2009 and the internal architecture of the dune obtained by ground-penetrating radar (GPR), an independent age model has been developed to attribute sedimentary-architectural elements of the dune to time. The annual rate of dune migration is calculated to be around 4.1 m/a. Along a 245 m transect oriented parallel to the direction of dune movement, 13 samples for OSL dating were collected at equidistant locations. Sand-sized quartz (150-250 mu m) was used for determining the equivalent dose (D-e) applying a single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol. Results show that the oldest OSL age from the investigated recent dune appeared to be 110 +/- 10 a, whereas the modern analogue was dated to 34 +/- 3 a. In comparison with the aerial images, the OSL ages show a systematic overestimation of 10-40 a for six out of seven younger samples, which are expected to be younger than similar to 60 a. This offset is negligible for older samples, but a substantial error in these younger ages. The overestimation is originated from a combination of small thermal transfer of 4 -12 mGy during preheat and incomplete bleaching in medium OSL component causing a residual dose of about 15 mGy. The contribution of the incompletely bleached medium component cannot be removed totally by an early background subtraction approach. Despite the observed offset for youngest samples, this study corroborates the suitability of the OSL technique to date young dune sediments (<100 a). (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
