| Title: | Main Title: Maturing cutting-edge luminescence-based inventories for measuring vertical upper ECZ particle fluxes and for dating the exposure of typical Atacama Desert soils and surfaces |
| Description: | Series Information: The central Atacama Desert is generally considered the driest place on Earth. Given the fog-related moisture availability along the north Chilean Coastal Cordillera and the increasing precipitation to-wards the Andean Cordillera, it is an ideal area to explore the transition of biotically to abiotically driven processes in the Earth’s Critical Zone (ECZ). For this purpose, luminescence dating techniques have elsewhere proven to be a powerful tool in the recent past [e.g., Reimann et al., 2017]; nonethe-less, a previous study testing the applicability of luminescence dating on coarse grain feldspars from the Atacama Desert found highly variable K-contents (0.67 - 11.17 % K2O) within each sample and below 1 % of the measured feldspar grains gave a post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pI-RIRSL) signal suitable for dating [Zinelabedin et al., 2022]. Single-grain luminescence dating has successfully been applied to infer sediment transport and mixing processes in various geological settings [e.g., Reimann et al., 2017]. However, in some regions, like the Atacama Desert, single-grain luminescence dating can be challenging and time consuming, particularly when only a small percentage of grains emits luminescence. In such cases many individual grains need to be measured before a sufficient number of grains has been obtained to calculate a robust palaeodose. It has been shown that establishing a standardised growth curve (SGC) for single-grain feldspar pIRIRSL measurements reduces the measurement time considerably [Li et al., 2018] and that SGCs are suitable for feldspars with unfavourable luminescence properties and a complex mineralogy [Sontag-González et al., 2021]. Here we test the applicability of SGCs for single-grain pIRIRSL age determination of Atacama De-sert feldspars to investigate small-scale geomorphological processes in the Atacama Desert. In addition to five samples from the Atacama Desert, we include five chemically and structurally different feldspar sediment extracts from various geological origins to test the effect of the sample chemistry on SGC behaviour. By performing a dose recovery test (pIRIRSL175) on all samples, we gained a test dataset for SGC calculations. To enable a comparison of individual dose response curve behaviour with sample chemistry we constrained the major element chemistry of each grain measured using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (0,08 – 16,84 % K2O). We establish three SGCs, one for the entire dataset and ei-ther one for Atacama Desert and non-Atacama Desert samples. The SGC performances are tested by applying them to the dose recovery test data of the Atacama Desert samples and compare the thereby computed equivalent dose (De) estimates to the conventionally calculated De estimates. The success-fully refined and established SGC method is applied to samples, collected along two climatic transects in the Atacama Desert.
