Description

Several dust samples obtained from Himalayan glaciers and Antarctic ice have been studied using sediment TL dating procedures. These samples satisfy the basic criterion of pre-depositional sun-bleaching and the sediment equivalent dose has been found to be few hundred rads. The TL in samples fro a 102 metre drill-core from Nehnar glacier (Kashmir) shows an increasing trend with depth. The possibility of extending this application as a technique for absolute dating of glaciers, various experimental difficulties and the environmental dosimetry aspects will be discussed. (author)
