[Aqualist] Quaternary Australasia - the INQUA issue

[Kathryn Fitzsimmons]

Dear fellow Quaternarists,

I would like to introduce myself as the new Editor of Quaternary 
Australasia. We are planning a bumper issue of Quaternary Australasia to 
come out in time for INQUA, and will have copies available to the 
international participants in Cairns. I'm hoping the issue will inform the 
Quaternary world about the active community in this region.

I would like to solicit contributions for this issue. This can include 
reports, interviews, and thesis abstracts. I'm also hoping to include some 
short research papers. Quaternary Australasia has in the past provided an 
excellent forum for students in particular to have their work published, 
and I am hoping that this particular issue, which will have a wider than 
usual distribution thanks to INQUA, will provide an incentive for people 
(especially students) to consider QA. QA is suitable for a paper of 
national or local importance that may not be suitable for an international 
audience. Papers published in QA are peer-reviewed and count as 
publications for the purposes of the ARC. It is an ideal place to publish a 
paper quickly to improve your track record for an ARC or job application.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would be interested in 
contributing, or if you know of any students (including recently completed 
Honours students) who may not be aware of QA and could be encouraged to 
submit their work. Likewise, if anyone would like to publicise any of their 
recently published papers or books, please let me know.

Thanks,
Kat Fitzsimmons.
