The background of the magazine is based on a deep understanding of Earth's environmental changes, biodiversity, paleoclimatology, geological tectonic activity, and the interaction between humans and the natural environment. Quaternary geology is a bridge connecting multiple disciplines such as geology, ecology, environmental science, and anthropology, and it is of great significance for understanding the current climate and ecosystem of the Earth.
The Journal of Quaternary Studies covers a wide range of research topics, including but not limited to glaciology, paleooceanography, paleoecology, geomorphology, sedimentology, paleoclimate reconstruction, and the impact of human activities on the environment. The magazine encourages the use of various research methods, such as geochronology, geochemical analysis, biostratigraphy, and remote sensing technology.
