Since August 2025, I’m developing a new luminescence imaging technique as part of the DFG project ARENICOLA. Our goal is to develop an efficient workflow for measuring and analysing sand grains to identify their mineralogy and defect inventory using radiofluorescence imaging at multiple spectral bands between 360 nm and 920 nm. If the project is successful, this new technology could simplify the preparation of luminescence dating samples or be used to analyse the provenance of river sediments.
