Abstract

This special Quaternary Geochronology volume of the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Luminescence and Electron Spin Resonance Dating is dedicated to the memory of Martin Aitken, one of the great pioneers in luminescence dating, who passed away on 13 June 2017, aged 95. We are pleased that Ann Wintle, herself the great Dame of luminescence dating, wrote a fitting tribute to Martin, which follows this editorial.
