Die Deutsche Quartärvereinigung (DEUQUA) e.V. ist ein Zusammenschluss deutschsprachiger Quartärwissenschaftler. Der Verein hat zum Ziel die Quartärwissenschaft zu fördern, sie in der Öffentlichkeit zu vertreten, den Kontakt zu angewandter Wissenschaft zu intensivieren sowie öffentliche und politische Gremien in quartärwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen zu beraten. Desweiteren hat der Verein sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Kontaktpflege der Quartärforscher untereinander und zu verwandten Organisationen im In- und Ausland zu betreiben.
Die DEUQUA gibt zweimal jährlich die peer-reviewte, interdisziplinäre open-access Zeitschrift E&G Quaternary Science Journal heraus.
In EGQSJ erscheinen peer-reviewte Artikel und Express Reports, sowie Thesis Abstracts zu Quartär-relevanten Themen aus
Forschungsbereichen der Quartärgeologie, Paläo-Umwelt-Forschung, Paläo-Ökologie, Bodenkunde, Paläo-Klima-Forschung, Geomorphologie, Geochronologie, Archäologie und Geoarchäologie mit einem
Schwerpunkt aber nicht begrenzt auf Mitteleuropa.

Die Professur integriert neue quantitative Forschungsansätze in der Geomorphologie und den Erdoberflächensystemen und deren Interaktion mit der Anthroposphäre vor
dem Hintergrund des Globalen Wandels (u. a. Klimawandel, Landnutzungsänderungen, Bevölkerungswachstum, Migration). Eine enge und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Disziplinen aus der
integrativen Erdsystemforschung - den Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften, Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften - wird erwartet; in den Verantwortungsbereich der Professur fällt der Lehr- und
Forschungsbetrieb im Labor der Fachrichtung Physische Geographie.

Luminescence dating is an important tool for studying the Quaternary. Classical luminescence dating dates when a grain of sand was last exposed to sunlight and subsequently buried, enabling researchers to address many questions in areas of Earth and environmental sciences as well as archaeology. Additionally, the versatility of the luminescence signal allows for novel questions to be addressed – from soil mixing rates to geological uplift rates to sediment provinancing to dating of geological and archaeological rock surfaces.
This course will provide an introduction to the principles and potential applications and limitations of optical dating. The many potential applications of luminescence methods will be discussed through case studies. Practical insights into OSL sampling in field contexts, sample preparation and environmental dose rate determination will be provided. After the course, the student will understand the principles, limitations, and potential applications of luminescence dating, be capable of critically assessing method-based scientific papers and has basic knowledge about correct OSL sampling in geological and archaeological contexts.

Dear loess friends and colleagues,
200 years after the introduction of the term „loess“ into the scientific literature by Karl Caesar von Leonhard 1823/24, we would like to invite you to celebrate this anniversary in the frame of the LoessFest 2024 in Mainz, Germany sponsored by the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. We look forward to intensive discussions and exchange during one day of presentations and posters and two days of field trips.
Important dates:
January 30, 2024 Opening of registration and abstract submission.
March 15, 2024 Deadline for registration and abstract submission.
June 19, 2024 Coming together and icebreaker.
June 20, 2024 Oral and poster presentations with key notes in the morning
and evening.
June 20, 2024 Conference Dinner.
June 21-22, 2024 Field trips to important loess sites (Middle and Upper Rhine, Wetterau)
.
Please note that the number of participants for field trips is limited. The conference fee will include all catering costs and field trip logistics. Further information including registration forms and costs are available on the conference website and from the PDF below.

Pangeo-DEUQUA 2024
23 to 27 September 2024, Salzburg Austria
Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the PANGEO scientific meeting co-hosted by DEUQUA!
The conference will take place on September 23rd to 27th, 2024 in Salzburg, Austria. It will be held at the Department Environment and Biodiversity of the Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS), Hellbrunner Str. 34, 5020 Salzburg. Under the heading “Converging Spheres” this conference provides a platform for presenting research carried out at universities, organizations, and companies.
Like the PANGEO meeting, the German Quaternary Association (DEUQUA) meeting is held every second year. DEUQUA is the main Quaternary research society for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and its meetings are held across various sites of these three countries. Focusing on the Quaternary period, the DEUQUA offers a broad forum on related topics including earth surface processes and climate change.
The idea of this meeting is to stimulate interaction between experts from different geoscientific disciplines. Our motto "Converging Spheres" should not only refer to the scientific content but also to the geoscientific community. Apart from classic lecture sessions, the scientific program comprises six workshops, each covering a broad geoscientific range intended to address all aspects of applied and basic geoscience research. Each workshop topic is associated with a keynote/impulse lecture presented to the plenary on Tue, 24th. Workshops on each topic will then be moderated by the convenors on Wed, 25th. Contributions will comprise posters and short presentations but can be organized flexible by convenors, ideally giving much room for discussion.
An extensive excursion program and pre-conference workshops will frame the conference program (in progress). For further information please visit our website www.pangeo-deuqua2024.at, where we will host further information and news including registration fees. Conference language: English and German.
We look forward to welcoming you in Salzburg!
