06 – 10 April 2024 – Galera, Andalusia, Spain
Registration deadline 30.11.2023

We are pleased to invite you to take part in the international symposium that will be held in Galera, a small town in the northeast of the newly established UNESCO Granada Geopark. All participants are welcome to present their recent studies in oral or poster presentation. Furthermore we are looking forward to having interesting discussions and exchange of new ideas during the symposium and during fieldtrips. This symposium is being held as part of a larger research project funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation). The conference will last 5 days starting with two days of oral and poster presentations and three final days of field trips. During these field trips, we will discover numerous stunning sites within the Guadix-Baza Basin. This basin is famous for the first finds of Hominids in Europe and provides an unprecedented density of Plio-Pleistocene vertebrate fauna. An extensive repertory of natural archives offers insights into Quaternary river erosion forming spectacular fragmented sceneries.

We asked for financial support at the INQUA Commission on Stratigraphy and Chronology (SACCOM) to make assistance for ECS (early career scientists) possible. Interested ECS please announce their intention to participate asap, as the deadline for financial support will expire end of September.

To celebrate the first Journal Impact Factor and CiteScore of E&G QSJ submission for a special issue of E&G QSJ inspired by INQUA will open soon. Inspired by the motto of INQUA Roma, the SI will be titled "Quaternary research in times of change – inspired by INQUA Roma 2023". It will be advertised on the journal website with the following teaser:

"This special issue is inspired by the motto of the 2023 INQUA conference held in Rome, Italy, in July 2023. The years since the last INQUA conference held in Dublin in 2019, have indeed been times of change in many respects, but the programme of this year’s INQUA conference impressively documents that Quaternary research has accepted and coped with these challenges. This special issue aims at assembling contributions reflecting the advances in all fields of Quaternary research. Finally, it celebrates that E&G QSJ has received its first impact factor and CiteScore in July 2023. As a community-based journal, we especially welcome contributions from young researchers."

It woud be great if you could please help us to advertise the SI at INQUA, or elsewhere, because the SI is not restricted to contributions presented at INQUA. For advertising purposes, you'll find a teaser slide for download below this text, which should comply with the INQUA presentation guidelines. If you would like to contribute to the SI, please don't hesitate to contact us. You will find all key information for submission in the teaser slide below.

A multiple in-situ cosmogenic nuclides approach to dating erratics within the southern fringe of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (DatErr 2.0)

The Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology at the University of Gdańsk is looking for a motivated person for a PhD position within the National Science Centre SONATA BIS project.

In the project "DatErr 2.0," we aim to use large glacial erratic boulders to reconstruct the chronology and dynamics of the retreat of the palaeo-ice sheet in Poland and Germany. The scientific goal of the project is to reconstruct the history of exposure of glacial erratics in the southern fringe of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet and to reconstruct the chronology and dynamics of ice sheet retreat in this region during the Saalian glaciation (MIS 6 or 8) and after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The research involves determining the exposure time of large erratics deposited in the marginal part of the extensive ice sheet using several terrestrial cosmogenic isotopes produced in quartz (26Al, 10Be, and 14C). The project will be carried out over five years and involves collaboration with external partners from the European Centre for Research and Teaching of Environmental Geosciences (CEREGE) in France and the Cosmic Ray Isotope Sciences at Dalhousie (CRISDal) Laboratory and André E. Lalonde AMS Laboratory in Canada.

The project is led by Dr. Karol Tylmann from the Geomorphological Reconstructions Laboratory, Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology. Candidates are requested to send their CV, motivation letter, references from the supervisor of their master's thesis or immediate superior, and consent to the processing of personal data to the following email address: k.tylmann@ug.edu.pl. The final deadline for submissions is July 10th at 3:00 pm, and the competition results will be announced by July 12th, 2023. Any questions regarding both the scientific scope of the project and the organizational-financial aspects can be directed to the same email address (k.tylmann@ug.edu.pl).
