Quaternary science is the systematic study of the Quaternary Period. It is a rapidly changing field with new research techniques being developed e.g. new dating techniques. Quaternary science is a field of study which involves geography , biology , chemistry , and physics . [ 4 ]
The Journal of Quaternary Science is a peer-reviewed academic journal published on behalf of the Quaternary Research Association. It covers research on any aspect of quaternary science . The journal publishes predominantly research articles with two thematic issues published annually, although discussions and letters are occasionally published ...
Quaternary Science Reviews is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering quaternary science. It was established in 1982 by Pergamon Press and is currently published by Elsevier. The editor-in-chief is C.V. Murray Wallace (University of Wollongong). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2013 impact factor of 4.571. [1]
Topics in physics and geometry that would now be described using vectors, such as kinematics in space and Maxwell's equations, were described entirely in terms of quaternions. There was even a professional research association, the Quaternion Society , devoted to the study of quaternions and other hypercomplex number systems.
Quaternary Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of Quaternary science.The journal was established in 1970, is now published by Cambridge University Press, and is edited by Derek B. Booth, Nicholas Lancaster and Lewis A. Owen.
Postglacial Sea level Rise Curve and Meltwater Pulses (MWP) Meltwater pulse 1B (MWP1b) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of either rapid or just accelerated post-glacial sea level rise that some hypothesize to have occurred between 11,500 and 11,200 years ago at the beginning of the Holocene and after the end of the Younger Dryas.

The Quaternary (/ k w ə ˈ t ɜːr n ə r i, ˈ k w ɒ t ər n ɛr i / kwə-TUR-nə-ree, KWOT-ər-nerr-ee) is the current and most recent of the three periods of the Cenozoic Era in the geologic time scale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), as well as the current and most recent of the twelve periods of the Phanerozoic eon.

The Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), also known as the Mid-Pleistocene Revolution (MPR), [1] is a fundamental change in the behaviour of glacial cycles during the Quaternary glaciations. [2] [3] The transition lasted around 550,000 years, [4] from 1.25 million years ago until 0.7 million years ago approximately, in the Pleistocene epoch. [5]
