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".
- Thomas Jamieson - Thomas Francis Jamieson (1829-1913) was a British geologist most associated with his studies of sea level and glacial isostasy during the Quaternary.
- Vocational university - A vocational university (professional university, or college of higher vocational studies) is an institution of higher education and sometimes research, which provides both tertiary and sometimes quaternary education and grants academic degrees at all levels (bachelor, master, and sometimes doctorate) in a variety of subjects. (More precisely a vocational university grants Professional degrees like Professional Bachelor's degree, Professional Master's degree and Professional doctorates).
- Paleopedology - Paleopedology (palaeopedology in England) is the discipline that studies soils of past geological eras, from quite recent (Quaternary) to the earliest periods of the Earth's history. Paleopedology can be seen either as a branch of soil science (pedology) or of paleontology, since the methods it uses are in many ways a well-defined combination of the two disciplines.
- Geschiebekunde - Geschiebekunde, or the scientific examination of erratics, is a discipline of geological science, an element of quaternary geology. It studies glacial erratics; rocks or boulders that are dislocated from their original location, transported and subsequently deposited by glaciers.
