Journal of Quaternary Science (JQS)

The Journal of Quaternary Science is a leading international, peer‑reviewed journal devoted to publishing high‑quality research on all aspects of the Quaternary period, the most recent chapter of Earth’s history characterized by dramatic climatic oscillations, environmental transitions, and human evolution. Established in 1986, the journal has become a core platform for researchers studying climate change, sedimentary records, geomorphological processes, and interactions between environments and biological communities over the last 2.6 million years. Covering a wide interdisciplinary spectrum, JQS welcomes studies that advance understanding of glacial–interglacial dynamics, stratigraphic correlations, paleoclimate reconstructions, paleoecological patterns, Quaternary soils and landforms, and archaeological contexts tied to environmental change. Its content includes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and thematic special issues that synthesize current knowledge and highlight emerging research frontiers. By fostering rigorous analytical methods and multidisciplinary perspectives, the journal contributes to our understanding of how Quaternary processes shape present‑day landscapes, ecosystems, and climate systems. JQS supports the global scientific community in addressing broad questions about Earth’s past variability and resilience, offering insights that are crucial for interpreting contemporary climatic shifts and for informing predictive models of future environmental trajectories.
