  1. Šujan et al investigate the Early Pleistocene sediments in Lithuania, and conclude that the first advance of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet there happened during the Elsterian Glaciation (MIS 12). A unit that was previously interpreted as an earlier advance is now interpreted as a debris flow.

  6. Quaternary (Geological periods 🌍)

    The Quaternary 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, as well as the current and most recent of the twelve periods of the Phanerozoic eon. It follows the Neogene Period and spans from 2.58 million years ago to the present. The Quaternary ...

  9. 🔦 Feldforschung in Alaska: Der #Geologe Paul Wilcox entdeckte dort in einer schwer zugänglichen Höhle rund 20.000 Jahre alte Ablagerungen. Eine Analyse dieser Proben erlaubte Rückschlüsse über das Ende der letzten #Eiszeit und darüber, wie das Abschmelzen der riesigen Gletscher damals vor sich ging.

  13. An #IceAge is a period of long-term reduction in Earth's temperature, resulting in the expansion of continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers. These periods are characterized by significant changes in climate, sea levels, and ecosystems.

    Earth is currently in the ice age called #Quaternary #Glaciation.

    The Quaternary 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. It follows the Neogene Period and spans from 2.58 million years ago to the present. As of 2023, the Quaternary Period is divided into two epochs: the Pleistocene and the Holocene ; a t...

  15. #Curtin uni is advertising an ongoing lectureship (level B, teaching and research) in Earth and Planetary Sciences. Pretty broad criteria, would suit someone doing #Quaternary sciene as well as more traditional minerals stuff.

  17. Australasian quaternarists will be happy to see that the call for abstracts for #AQUA2024 has been opened! AQUA is also offering student travel awards - all the details are slowly emerging on both the website and the mailing list.

  18. FYI Australasian quaternarists, there is AQUA news!

    1. Membership is due (we run on the calendar year) - join or renew here: aqua.org.au/membership/become-

    2. The AGM is coming up! If you have some ideas about how AQUA should be run, consider joining the executive - it's a friendly bunch. To stay abrest, join the mailing list: mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/lis

  20. Fossil of Deep-Snouted Alligator Species Found in Thailand sci.news/paleontology/alligato

    An #extinct deep-snouted Alligator species from the #Quaternary of #Thailand and comments on the #evolution of crushing dentition in alligatorids nature.com/articles/s41598-023

    "The newly-identified species is closely related to the #ChineseAlligator (#Alligator sinensis), the only living representative of Alligatoridae (the crown-group of #caimans and #alligators) outside the #Americas."

  21. So happy to be part of the AQUA community. Our first committee meeting of the year today, and plenty of good things coming up. It's really wonderful to serve on a committee that cares so much about DEI and supporting ECRs. If you're in #Australasia and into #Quaternary things, join us! aqua.org.au/

  22. One downside of migrating servers is that your posts disappear (at least mine did). So here's my #introduction! I am a #geomorphologist at #UCalgary, focusing on rapid geological changes in high altitude & high latitude environments. In other words, I study #geohazards and #Quaternary environmental change in #glacial and alpine environments. I use variety of tools incl #satellite remote sensing & field mapping to understand how Earth changes shape on timescales of a few seconds to millennia.

  23. Hi everyone!

    It's time for a proper #introduction. I am a full-time #geographer, #geochronologist, and #data scientist working as a researcher at the #luminescence laboratory at the Ruprecht-Karls University #Heidelberg.

    My work focuses on developing and applying new methods in #geochronolgy (#luminescence_dating) to constrain rapid environmental changes throughout the #Quaternary.
