Optically stimulated luminescence thermochronometry
... that optically stimulated luminescence thermochronometry makes use of luminescence caused by radiation excited electrons trapped in quartz and feldspar?Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1871101416300036

Substantial article on a scientific subject, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed but could only create interest, - which is not bad ;) - The caption remains a riddle. - A few paragraphs lack a citation, - I hope that can easily be fixed. - I am not happy with the hook, because it's repetitious. I suggest you just say what the term means in plain English, unless you want to keep those away who don't understand it ;) (I guess you think you did that but could it be be even more basic?) - Thank you for writing and nominating! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
- I have fixed the article a bit and propose this hook: Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:38, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- alt1:
... that minerals can store energy that is later released as light used to determine when rocks cooled in optically stimulated luminescence thermochronometry?
- That's on the right track, but the grammar is not crystal clear, at least to me. I removed the icon which is only needed if a new reviewer is wanted. I'm on it, just not 24 hours a day ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:30, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- alt2 ... that optically stimulated luminescence thermochronometry determines when rocks cooled, by measuring light released from energy stored in minerals?
- Thanks Gerda Arendt: alt2 proposed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:15, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the alt which does it for me, and for improving the article. - I trust that you will get rid of the orphan-tag. - Looking at the images again, could you use one of the three in connection with alt2? It's so rare that we have science on the main page that I would love to give it more prominence. The image doesn't have to show the whole thing, just catch attention. I'll watch for a suggestion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
