Quaternary Geochronology focuses on establishing precise age constraints for geological and paleoenvironmental records. The journal publishes research utilizing luminescence dating (OSL, pIRIR, IRSL) and radiocarbon dating (AMS 14C) to date various materials including sediments, loess-palaeosol sequences, volcanic ash layers (tephra), biological accumulations, and fossil remains. Studies often involve refining chronologies for Quaternary deposits, correlating stratigraphic units, and understanding depositional processes and environmental changes over geological timescales.
