Abstract
Unravelling Earth’s story: how crystals reveal the secrets of landscape evolution LUMIN aims to revolutionise research by developing a comprehensive model of luminescence in feldspar, the most common mineral in Earth’s crust. The project will examine electron behaviour in defects in feldspar lattice using cutting-edge imaging and simulations and use the results of these investigations to develop a unified model of luminescence. This model will enable the accurate measurement of erosion and transport rates on unprecedented spatial and temporal scales, providing vital insights for landscape evolution studies, geohazard prediction and land use management.
