| 摘 要： | Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating is a relatively new technique applicable also to the dating of materials from littoral zones and shallow sea regions, such as shells, corals, bones and teeth, foraminifera, diatoms, etc. ESR dating can span the time interval between the older limit of 14C dating and the younger limit of the K-Ar dating, an interval of 103-106 years. Therefore, ESR technique is very suitaHe for the measurement of the age of Quaternary sea-level changes. This paper gives some samples' results by ESR dating from Early Pleistoncene to Holocene.The Quaternary sea-level changes in China were mainly eustatisms that corresponded to the paleotemperature variation. We have just begun study on the 18O Paleotemperature in our continental area. Preliminary results show the temperature curve of the stalagmitic growth in caves corresponds well to the sea - level changes in 76-55×103 years B. P. ESR dating and studies of the 18O Paleotemperature in East China will raise studies on Quaternary sea -
