Wikipedia Articles
- American Quaternary Association - The American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) is a professional organization of North American scientists devoted to studies of the quaternary geological period. They were founded in 1970 and their stated goals are to "foster cooperation and communication among the remarkably broad array of disciplines involved in studying the Quaternary Period".
- Journal of Quaternary Science - The Journal of Quaternary science is a journal published on behalf of the Quaternary Research Association. The Journal publishes research papers on any field of Quaternary research, with the aim of providing wider access and knowledge of the earth's history over the last 2.
- Quaternary science - Quaternary science is an inter-disciplinary field of study focusing on the Quaternary period, which encompasses the last 2.6 million years.
- Quaternary geology - Quaternary geology is the part of geology that is concerned with the study of the Quaternary, the youngest geological period. Since most of our landscape was formed during this time, that also includes the ice age, it has a strong relationship with geomorphology.
- Quaternary ammonium cation - Quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quats, are positively charged polyatomic ions of the structure NR4+ with R being alkyl groups. Unlike the ammonium ion NH4+ itself and primary, secondary, or tertiary ammonium cations, the quaternary ammonium cations are permanently charged, independent of the pH of their solution.
