The three major sections of this volume include six chapters describing the regional Quaternary geology of Canada, two describing the Quaternary geology and climatic history of Greenland, and six that review applied Quaternary geology in Canada, including chapters on paleobotanical analysis, geodynamics, geomorphic processes, terrain geochemistry, Quaternary resources, and the influence of the Quaternary on the present environment. Of the five accompanying plates, three depict eleven stages of Quaternary paleogeographic change between 18,000 B.P. and 5,000 B.P.; one depicts the retreat of the ice from between 18,000 B.P. and the Recent; and another reviews the status of Quaternary geologic mapping in Canada, with an extensive bibliography on the back.

Quaternary science comprises the multidisciplinary studies focusing on the Quaternary period that covers the last 2.6 million years according to the geological timescale updated in 2009. The Quaternary science studies the processes, impact, and triggering factors of Quaternary environmental changes in all parts of the world using terrestrial and marine evidence. Over the last decades a great amount of knowledge of Quaternary science has become available due to improvements in research methods and its significant role for understanding the trends of global change both during the past and in the future.

Abstract This Special Issue of the Journal of Quaternary Science contains a set of 13 papers based on presentations at the Annual Discussion Meeting of the Quaternary Research Association held in London in January 2008. This Special Issue is concerned with four main themes: long‐term landscape signatures, river landscapes and responses to climate change, glacial landscapes and Lateglacial landscapes. The papers include substantial new data on the terrestrial and offshore Quaternary of the British Isles and provide a benchmark for aspects of current thinking on this topic. This volume is published in parallel with other special issues based on the 2008 QRA Discussion Meeting. These consist of The Quaternary Geology of the British Isles edited by David Bridgland and Nick Golledge in the Proceedings of the Geologists ' Association and Climate variability of the British Isles and surrounding seas edited by Dan Charman and Danny McCarroll in Quaternary Science Reviews .
