Zusammenfassung

Este trabajo pretende proporcionar una visión general del método de datación por Resonancia Paramagnética Electrónica (más conocido por su acrónimo ingles ESR procedente de Electron Spin Resonance), presentando sus principios básicos, su potencial y límites actuales. La ESR es un método paleodosimétrico, al igual que la luminiscencia. Se basa en la cuantificación de la dosis de radiación absorbida por la muestra a lo largo del tiempo debido a su exposición a la radiactividad natural. La ESR compensa una precisión menor respecto a otros métodos de referencia como el C14, Ar/Ar o U/Th, por una gran versatilidad de aplicación. Permite datar materiales muy diversos (p.ej., carbonatos, fosfatos, silicatos, sulfatos) como probablemente ningún otro método, aunque la datación de cuarzos y dientes fósiles son aplicaciones mucho más populares que las demás. Finalmente, además de su interés en geocronología, la técnica de ESR ha demostrado su utilidad en varios estudios del Cuaternario como en trabajos de termocronometria y paleotemperaturas, o para caracterizar cuarzos y determinar su origen.
