Loess deposits constitute an important archive of aeolian deposition reflecting wider patterns of glacial atmospheric circulation, and more localised interactions between riverine source areas, loess trapping efficiency and geomorphic controls on erosion rate. Conceptual models have been formulated to explain the coeval evolution of loess mantles and associated landscapes (loess landscape models)...
We applied the partial-bleach (R-beta) thermoluminescence (TL) dating technique to two samples from massive post-glacial loess overlying the last major aggradation gravel (Burnham Formation) near Barrhill on the south bank of the Rakaia River. This site is roughly midway between the coast and the front range of Canterbury. Previously, the time of initiation of deposition of such loess in the region...
