中文简介

由爱思唯尔科学出版。ISSN: 1871-1014。《第四纪地球年代学》是一份国际期刊，致力于出版有关第四纪(地球历史上最后的260万年)年代测定方法的所有方面的高质量、同行评议的文章。可靠的年龄对于将气候、景观、动植物的变化——包括人类的进化和生态影响——按正确的时间顺序排列，以及理解地质和生物过程的节奏和模式，都是至关重要的。人们对第四纪的复杂性越来越有科学的认识。这就增加了对地质年代技术的需求，以便提供越来越精确和精确的年代，从而支持在各种时间和空间尺度上确定事件的原因和后果的努力。一些第四纪测年方法已经很成熟，而另一些还处于发展的早期阶段。第四纪地质年代学将提供一个方便的平台，以便迅速交流这些新兴领域的最新发展和应用，以及对更传统的年龄测定方法所作的改进。新的技术能力使人们对年龄估计的基本原则有了更深入的了解，并刺激了创新的应用。第四纪地质年代学将向关注第四纪事件的跨学科听众报告最新的见解和发现。

英文简介

Published by Elsevier Science. ISSN: 1871-1014.Quaternary Geochronology is an international journal devoted to the publication of the highest-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of dating methods applicable to the Quaternary Period - the last 2.6 million years of Earth history. Reliable ages are fundamental to place changes in climates, landscapes, flora and fauna - including the evolution and ecological impact of humans - in their correct temporal sequence, and to understand the tempo and mode of geological and biological processes. There is growing scientific appreciation of the complexity of the Quaternary Period. This has increased the demand on geochronological techniques to deliver increasingly more accurate and precise ages, which underpin attempts to determine the causes and consequences of events at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. Some Quaternary dating methods are well established, while others are in the early stages of development. Quaternary Geochronology will provide a readily accessible platform to rapidly communicate the latest developments and applications in these emerging fields, as well as improvements made to more traditional methods of age determination. New technological capabilities are providing a greater understanding of the underlying principles of age estimation and are stimulating innovative applications. Quaternary Geochronology will report the latest insights and discoveries to an inter-disciplinary audience concerned with events in the Quaternary Period.
