The International Research and Review Journal on Advances in Quaternary Dating Techniques

Quaternary Geochronology is an international journal devoted to the publication of the highest-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of dating methods applicable to the Quaternary Period - the last 2.6 million years of Earth history. Reliable ages are fundamental to place changes in climates, landscapes, flora and fauna - including the evolution and ecological impact of humans - in their correct temporal sequence, and to understand the tempo and mode of geological and biological processes.

Some Quaternary dating methods are well established, while others are in the early stages of development. Quaternary Geochronology provides a readily accessible platform to rapidly communicate the latest developments and applications in these emerging fields, as well as improvements made to more traditional methods of age determination. New technological capabilities are providing a greater understanding of the underlying principles of age estimation and are stimulating innovative applications.

Quaternary Geochronology will publish research in the following areas:
• Principles of geochronological methods
• Advances in methodology, analytical procedures and instrumentation
• Methodological standardisations and inter-laboratory comparisons
• Calibrations and comparisons of different methods
• Novel and groundbreaking applications in all fields of Quaternary research

The following contributions will be accepted:
• Original research papers and case studies
• Review papers
• Special thematic issues
• Viewpoint articles
• Letters to the Editors (including comments on papers published in Quaternary Geochronology)
• Book reviews

This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals

• Original research papers and case studies
