Quaternary Australasia publishes peer-reviewed research papers, news, commentary, notices of upcoming events, travel, conference and research reports and post-graduate thesis abstracts of interest to the Australasian Quaternary research community. Cartoons, sardonic memoirs and images of mystery fossils are also welcome.

The Australasian Quaternary Association (AQUA) brings together researchers studying various aspects of the Quaternary period (about the last 2 million years) in the Australasian region. It seeks to encourage research by younger workers in particular, to promote scientific communication between Australia and New Zealand, and to inform members of current research and publications.
