Last week, I presented at the 15th International Conference on Luminescence and Electron Spin Resonance Dating (Cape Town, South Africa). My presentation, titled “Optimising and testing time-resolved OSL of feldspar contaminated quartz grains”, was co-authored by P. Morthekai and Debarati Nag from Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences. Particular thanks to P. Morthekai for his guidance on this project!
I was also awarded the Copernicus Prize for my presentation (incidentally, the subject of this presentation is also the basis of this haiku).
