4th International Conference on Quaternary Sciences

It is our great pleasure to invite and welcome you to Tehran for the 3^rd International Conference on Quaternary Sciences, organized by the Iranian Quaternary Association (IRQUA), Research Institute for Earth Sciences (RIES), and the Geological Society of Iran (GSI) from January 29 to February 1, 2024. This conference in hybrid form (in-person and online) with a full scientific program, field trips and workshops will provide a platform for presenting the state-of-the-art research on Quaternary science in Iran and elsewhere, and a unique opportunity for networking and collaboration.

The IRQUA international conference generally takes place every 2 years and offers a diverse program around five main themes that are critical in understanding the ongoing societal and climate challenges. We welcome all contributions to improve our understanding of the relationship between the different natural and anthropogenic factors and processes that shape the Quaternary environment, landscape, and climate, human evolution and ancient civilizations. We are convinced that the 3^rd International IRQUA Conference will inspire many new ideas, foster new collaborations and increase our knowledge of Quaternary science, and for those who will participate in person, a lasting memory of the Iranian hospitality and wonderful landscape.
