The Quaternary Research Center fosters interdisciplinary research on the last two million years of the global environment: a time which encompasses massive, abrupt changes of climate, sea level, global biota and ice extent, as well the evolution of humans and the advent of civilization. QRC researchers study the processes responsible for environmental change to better understand how the Earth sustains humanity and other communities, and to better prepare for future environmental changes.
