Aims & Scope

Quaternary and Environmental Geosciences (QEG) is dedicated to the publication of original, high-quality works in the fields of Quaternary and environmental geosciences. It covers a wide range of topics including laboratory techniques, synthesis works, climate variability and change, paleovegetation, paleoclimate and paleoenvironments, coastal geology and geomorphology, sea-level variations, neotectonics, continental morphogenetic processes and products, geochemistry of sediments and soils, archaeology and paleoenvironment, geological risks, and the relationships between natural and anthropogenic geological processes. The journal emphasizes interdisciplinary work and discourages submissions lacking a clear connection to the Quaternary or Environmental Geosciences. Acceptance criteria include quality, originality, significance, and interest to a broad regional and international community.
