Canadian Quaternary Association

The Canadian Quaternary Association (CQA) is a scientific organization focused on studying the Quaternary period, which covers the last 2.6 million years, including recent ice ages and climate changes. Its members include researchers from geology, geography, ecology, and related fields who share knowledge about Canada's past environments, glaciers, and climate variations. The CQA promotes collaboration, advances scientific understanding, and disseminates research findings to support environmental management, policy-making, and education related to Canada's dynamic natural history during this period.
