American Quaternary Association

The American Quaternary Association (Aqua) is a professional organization focused on the study of the Quaternary period, which spans the last 2.6 million years, including the most recent ice ages and the development of modern ecosystems. The association brings together geologists, paleontologists, climate scientists, and other researchers to share knowledge, conduct studies, and advance understanding of environmental changes and their impacts on life. Aqua also promotes education and public outreach, helping to raise awareness about important scientific findings related to our planet's history and future.
