R scripts for dose rate calculation in trapped charge dating

We present R scripts for environmental dose rate calculations for trapped charge dating, and this contribution introduces these scripts along with associated templates and provides instructions for their use. We also discuss issues related to radon loss and alpha dose rate calculation. In addition to the R scripts for quartz and feldspar, we have prepared R scripts to calculate dose rates of carbonate minerals in a homogeneous medium, and to model the time-dependent changes in dose rates resulting from U-series disequilibrium following carbonate crystallization. These R scripts are freely available on GitHub and Zenodo.

Abstract

We present R scripts for environmental dose rate calculations for trapped charge dating, and this contribution introduces these scripts along with associated templates and provides instructions for their use. We also discuss issues related to radon loss and alpha dose rate calculation. In addition to the R scripts for quartz and feldspar, we have prepared R scripts to calculate dose rates of carbonate minerals in a homogeneous medium, and to model the time-dependent changes in dose rates resulting from U-series disequilibrium following carbonate crystallization. These R scripts are freely available on GitHub and Zenodo.
