By joining conferences like the JAQUA congress, we affirm our commitment to provide researchers in Japan high-quality results in a matter of days instead of months.

The three-day congress will be held at Rissho University in Saitama Prefecture. The event is concurrent with the university’s 140th anniversary. Co-sponsors of the congress include the Geological Society of Japan, the Volcanological Society of Japan, Japan Society of Mineral Sciences, Japan Cultural Society, and the Japanese Geomorphological Union, among others.

JAQUA members consist of geologists, geographers, paleontologists, zoologists, botanists, soil scientists, anthropologists, archaeologists, geophysicists, geochemists, engineers, and other researchers interested in Quaternary studies, which focus on the last 2.6 million years of the geologic time scale. The organization was founded in 1956 and now has about 1,700 members. JAQUA holds an annual meeting and sponsors symposia in universities. It also publishes a quarterly newsletter and the Quaternary Research journal (Daiyonki-kenkyu).
