The German Quaternary Association (Deutsche Quartärvereinigung, DEUQUA e.V.) is the official union of German speaking Quaternary scientists. The aim of the Association is to support Quaternary science, to present it to the public, to intensify contacts to the applied sciences, and to provide advice to public and political authorities on issues related to Quaternary science. Furthermore, the Association supports networking among Quaternary scientists and related organizations worldwide.
DEUQUA publishes the peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary open-access journal E&G Quaternary Science Journal twice per year.
EGQSJ publishes peer-reviewed articles and express reports, as well as thesis abstracts related to Quaternary geology,
paleo-environments, paleo-ecology, soil science, paleo-climatology, geomorphology, geochronology, archaeology, and geoarchaeology focussing on, but not limited to, research from central
Europe.
As part of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), several hundred
meters of sediment were recently extracted from Lake Nam Co in Tibet. These cores will be
analyzed over the coming years as part of several international research projects, in
collaboration with colleagues from China, Switzerland, and the UK. The working groups at the
University of Greifswald will focus on micropaleontological and paleomagnetic investigations.
The physical geography working group is seeking a doctoral candidate with a research interest
in paleomagnetism.
