The quaternary sciences constitute a dynamic, multidisciplinary field 
of research that has been growing in scientific and societal 
importance in recent years. This branch of the Earth sciences links 
ancient prehistory to modern environments. Quaternary terrestrial 
sediments contain the fossil remains of existing species of flora and 
fauna, and their immediate predecessors. Quaternary science plays an 
integral part in such important issues for modern society as 
groundwater resources and contamination, sea level change, geologic 
hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis), and soil erosion.

With over 360 articles and 2,600 pages, many in full-color, the 
Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science provides broad ranging, up-to-date 
articles on all of the major topics in the field. Written by a team 
of leading experts and under the guidance of an international 
editorial board, the articles are at a level that allows 
undergraduate students to understand the material, while providing 
active researchers with the latest information in the field.

Also available online via ScienceDirect - featuring extensive 
browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles 
in the work, plus linking to journal articles and abstract databases, 
making navigation flexible and easy. For more information, and online
