Associate Professor Lee Arnold is a Quaternary Scientist and specialist in geochronology. His research focuses on reconstructing archaeological, palaeoecological and palaeoenvironmental histories using luminescence dating techniques, with a particular emphasis on single-grain optically stimulated (OSL) dating applications and advancements.
Lee obtained his DPhil in Geography at the University of Oxford in 2006 and has held research positions at the University of Wollongong, Australia, and the National Research Centre for Human Evolution (CENIEH), Spain. During his career, Lee has been awarded two Australian Research Council (ARC) Fellowships, and was formerly the director of the National Luminescence Dating Facility in Burgos, Spain. He has worked extensively at archaeological and palaeontological sites across Europe, North America, Africa, Australia and Russia.

Application of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermally transferred OSL (TT-OSL), post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIR-IRSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) dating techniques in the Quaternary and archaeological sciences, including studies of human evolution and dispersal, palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, palaeoclimatology, landscape evolution and geomorphology.
Methodological developments and analytical improvements in luminescence dating techniques, with a particular focus on:
- OSL dating and characterisation of single grains of quartz
- Statistical age models and statistical analysis of equivalent dose (De) distributions
- OSL signal composition and component-resolved dating
- Extended-age luminescence dating of quartz and feldspar
Megafaunal evolution and extinction dynamics across Australia, Beringia, and the Eastern Mediterranean
The timing of human dispersal in Eurasia, the initial occupation of the circum-Mediterranean, Lower and Middle Palaeolithic archaeology of the Iberian Peninsula and Southern Europe.
The human colonisation of Australia and its impacts on biodiversity.
Geomorphology, landscape evolution and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of Australian drylands through the Quaternary Period.
Quaternary geochronology - Comparative chronological studies using different dating techniques, analytical improvements and technique development, applications of dating techniques in studies of human evolution / dispersal, Quaternary palaeoenvironments, and palaeontology, Bayesian modelling of chronological datasets.
