Encouraging Research of Quaternary Science
INQUA, the International Union for Quaternary Research, was founded in 1928 by a group of scientists seeking to improve understanding of environmental change during the glacial ages through interdisciplinary research.
Today, more than 46 member countries, spread throughout the world, contribute to INQUA's vitality. INQUA's basic goal - “promoting improved communication and international collaboration in basic and applied aspects of Quaternary research” - is achieved mainly through the activities of its commissions and committees.
