Extractions: If you have any questions or comments, please email Dr. Kenneth G. Miller or call his office: (732) 445-2044 Quaternary Studies: An Interdisciplinary Program Rutgers' Graduate Certificate in Quaternary Studies is a multidisciplinary program allowing students to specialize in the study of the last few million years in earth's historythe Late Cenozoic and Quaternary geologic time periods. The program explores the interaction of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere of these years, during which fluctuations in climate triggered the development of continental-scale ice sheets, caused major changes in sea level, and initiated major migrations of animal and plant communities. These changes shaped our contemporary physical environment and stongly influenced evolution. This period saw the dawn of Homo sapiens and the simultaneous extinction of many other groups of organisms. Our knowledge of Late Cenozoic and Quaternary events helps researchers understand current environmental changes and may enable them to anticipate future changes affecting the earth and its inhabitants.
Fossil Beetles In Quaternary Environmental Studies

http://www.colby.edu/geology/Beetles.html

Extractions: The study of subfossil beetles (Class Insecta, Order Coleoptera) is becoming an important tool in understanding past environmental change. Virtually any non-marine sediment that has identifiable organic remains will include remains of insects, and many of these will be beetles. Remains that are frequently found and are readily identifiable include disarticulated [unattached] heads, pronota, and elytra. The first illustration at the right, of the ground beetle Schizogenius sulcifrons (family Carabidae) , shows these body parts. The sculptural elements that are the basis for much modern taxonomy are preserved and make the fragments frequently identifiable to the species level. Most beetles are quite specific as to habitat requirements, and those in non-island environments have undergone almost no evolutionary change in the Quaternary Period. We therefore can use their modern ecological requirements as a basis for interpreting what past environments must have been like. For example, the second figure shows a modern specimen of the rove beetle
IQUA - Irish Quaternary Association
Issues publications and organizes field meetings and conferences to promote crossfertilisation of ideas in quaternary studies in Ireland.
http://www.tcd.ie/Geography/IQUA/Index.htm

Extractions: The Irish Quaternary Association (IQUA) is a voluntary organisation comprising academics, amateurs, governmental and industrial partners with an interest in Irish landscape change during the most recent period of Earth history (the Quaternary). Its members have a diverse range of interests including agriculture, archaeology, climatology, ecology, engineering, geography, geology and hydrology. IQUA aims to promote Quaternary studies in Ireland through its publications, and the organisation of field meetings and conferences. It represents a unique pool of expertise in climate and landscape change capable of providing critical information on past and present Earth surface processes. It is also an ideal forum for the exchange of information between scientists, managers and interest groups concerned with the many contemporary issues associated with future climate change.

Dating methods applicable to Quaternary geologic studies in the western United States edited by S.L. Forman, 80 p., 1989 $7.50 MP89-7
http://mapstore.utah.gov/ugs/quaterny.htm

Extractions: The Quaternary Period of geologic time encompasses the last ice age (Pleistocene Epoch) to the present (Holocene and Recent Epochs). Studying this period provides geologic models applicable to the present (defining times and locations of recent faulting that may recur, determining what forces have shaped current geography, etc.) and the past (interpretations of pre-Quaternary events are often based on what we see happening now). To order publications, use order form 1) Geology of Salt Valley anticline and Arches National Park, Grand County, Utah by H.H. Doelling; 2) Evidence for Quaternary deformation in the Salt Valley anticline, southeastern Utah, by C.G. Oviatt; 3) Late Cenozoic gravity tectonic deformation related to the Paradox salts in the Canyonlands area of Utah, by P.W. Huntoon The paper by Doelling studies one of the salt anticlinal structures in the Paradox basin; stratigraphy and structure are discussed with examples of how salt has been involved in shaping the landscape. Oviatt presents evidence that Quaternary structures have been folded, faulted, and otherwise deformed. He identifies datable ash beds involved in the deformation and indicates that dissolution and diapirism may still be active in the Salt Valley region. Huntoon discusses deformation mechanisms in the rocks overlying the salt: salt flowage, salt dissolution, and gliding of the rocks above the salt. He believes these processes became active due to the erosion of the Colorado River and its tributaries and they continue today.

Extractions: The study of the Quaternary Period has a long and illustrious history at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, beginning with T.C. Chamberlin and R.D. Salisbury a century ago. The UW-Madison now has one of the largest, most diverse groups of Quaternary researchers in North America. Interdisciplinary research is a particular strength in the Quaternary program at UW-Madison. Students can pursue an M.S. or Ph.D. in Quaternary studies in one or more of the graduate departments on campus. In addition to course work required for disciplinary or joint degree or degrees, students take appropriate course work in a related minor discipline. The following is a brief description of areas of interest. Following that is a list of faculty and links to their web sites where available. Finally, a list of cooperating departments also has links to department web pages. ARCHAEOLOGY, GEOARCHAEOLOGY Much of the Quaternary-oriented climatological research at UW-Madison concerns the diagnosing and modeling of past and present climates on continent-wide and world-wide scales. This work includes using paleoenvironmental indicators, such as pollen and diatoms, to reconstruct climate changes over the past 18,000 years and the use of general-circulation and other climate models to simulate the behavior of past climates in the late Quaternary and the late Cenozoic. Additional research involves reconstructing the climatological history of the Great Lakes region over the past several centuries. Faculty in most of the other areas of Quaternary studies on campus participate in research that deals with climate change and paleoclimates.

Extractions: In Qarhan, a deposit of halite averaging about 30 m thick, extends over an area of 5800 km . Carbonate in the system is dominantly derived as clastics from loess transported by northwesterly winds. The large component of dead carbon thus involved explains anomalous patterns of dates derived from these materials. Such results are consistently much older than those based on organic carbon. In Lake Frome, subject to a more maritime climate in central Australia, the carbonate component is dominantly authigenic lacustrine in origin contaminated by a small detrital component. It provides ages about one half-life older than those from organic carbon.

http://www.geo.msu.edu/qlrg/

Extractions: What we are all about The Quaternary Landscapes Research Group (QLRG) is an informal cluster of like-minded individuals at Michigan State University who are actively reconstructing prehistoric landscapes, both the processes involved in their physical formation as well as their use by humans. Our research is focused on the Great Lakes region. Our overall goal is to form and maintain an interdisciplinary network that seeks to improve our historical understanding of the Great Lakes region. Although the core of the group is based in the Department of Geography, individuals from the Departments of Anthropology and Geology are affiliated, and we work closely and often with them. Quaternary studies is not the property of Geography on this or any other campus; at MSU it appears so only because it is the most efficient way of operationalizing this web page and the QLRG. The purpose of this page is to point out the various aspects of Quaternary Studies that are based in, and run out of, Geography at MSU. Many other projects are ongoing across campus, which we cannot give justice to on this web page. The QLRG is a field-oriented group; we value field research and working with students in both the field and laboratory.
