for
Quaternary Research
Quaternary Research is the study of the interval of Earth's geologic history that spans approximately the last two million years, and includes the Pleistocene and the Holocene. Quaternary Research is especially interdisciplinary.
Quaternary researchers study lake sediments, ocean sediments, ocean circulation, ice cores, cycles of the earth/sun, atmosphere, fossil and modern animals and plants including invertebrates, vertebrates, insects, and pollen, and other subjects. Current topics of importance include global climate change (past, present and future), atmospheric, ocean, and terrestrial interactions, and the building of testable computer models.

Quaternary Associations
International: INQUA
International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) <http://www.inqua.tcd.ie/>
INQUA was founded in 1928 and holds quadrennial international congresses. Collaborative research is conducted by means of commissions and committees. Commissions for the 2003-2007 Inter-Congress period: Coastal and Marine Processes; Palaeoclimate; Palaeoecology and Human Evolution; Stratigraphy and Geochronology; and Terrestrial Processes, Deposits and History.
National Quaternary Associations (Related to INQUA)
America: American Quaternary Association (AMQUA)
New Web Site: http://www.amqua.org
The American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) was founded in 1970 to foster communication and cooperation among researchers in widely diverse disciplines, but having a common interest in the Quaternary Period. AMQUA holds biennial meetings, each focused on a broad thematic topic of wide interest to members, along with associated field trips. AMQUA publishes the newsletter The Quaternary Times twice a year, and the journal Quaternary Research is an "unofficial publication outlet for AMQUA" (Dyer, 2004). The AMQUA website includes a membership directory.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay & Venezuela: Grupo de Estudio del Cuaternario (GEC) (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay & Venezuela) (Quaternary Perspectives 129 (2005):100-101)
The Grupo de Estudio del Cauternario (GEC) was formed in 1995. It was officially incorporated into INQUA as a non-governmental Regional Member of South America at the Reno Congress in 2003. A Field Meeting on Loess was held in 1998, followed by three international workshops in Salto, Uruguay; Anillaco, Argentina; and Maringa, Brazil. These workshops resulted in the publication of Quaternary International volume 114 in 2004. Future workshops are anticipated in Iquitos, Peru (2006) and Santa Fe, Argentina (2007). GEC is focusing on compilation of a Stratigraphic Correlation Table to include all South American countries by year 2011. Work is progressing toward the inclusion of Peru, Columbia and Bolivia in GEC.
Australia: Australasian Quaternary Association (AQUA) <http://rses.anu.edu.au/environment/AQUA/AQUA>

Meetings are usually accompanied by field trips. AQUA has also jointly sponsored other meetings. Quaternary Australasia (QA; formerly Australian Quaternary Newsletter) is the official journal and newsletter or AQUA, and is published twice a year. Australian Quaternary Newsletter was published from 1973 through 1980, and Quaternary Australasia has been published since 1983. The AQUA website contains indexes for publications from 1973 through 2000, and full text for 1995 through 1998 issues of QA.

Symposium: SM-06
TITLE: Dynamics and retreat of the eastern Laurentide Ice Sheet
CONVENORS: Michel Parent (GSC-Quebec), Michel Lamothe (UQAM)
CONTACT: Michel.Parent@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca
DESCRIPTION: Evidence of widespread interactions between ice sheets and global climate systems has renewed interest in the flow dynamics, retreat patterns and chronological record of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. In addition to ice streams and ice shelves systems which generated huge iceberg discharge events in the North Atlantic, recent reports show that ice streams produced abrupt, large scale reorientations of flow patterns as well as large readvances in the inland areas of the ice sheet. Reassessments of the chronological and paleogeographical record of the eastern LIS suggest that episodic outburst floods from large glacial lakes dammed along the southern margin of the ice sheet may have momentarily slowed down or even interrupted North Atlantic thermohaline circulation and produced severe cooling events in the Northern Hemisphere. This symposium offers an opportunity to re-evaluate current thoughts about the mode and timing of the most critical sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Late Quaternary.
