A series of 50 minute lectures, followed by discussion, on the broad topic of environmental evolution, climate, ecological and human change during the Quaternary (the last ~2.6 million years). The lectures are aimed at a broad audience (including geoscientists, glaciologists, environmental scientists, atmospheric chemists, biologists, anthropologists and archaeologists).

Seminars are usually on Wednesdays in the Latimer Room, in Clare College, starting at 17:30. Refreshments are served after the talks and there is time for discussion over drinks and/or dinner.

QDG is currently organised by Sveta Radionovskaya, Crystal Fu and Emily Kraus, supported by David Hodell, Christine Lane and Francesco Muschitiello. Please feel free to contact us with queries and suggestions.
