The journal's scope covers the principles of geochronological methods, their analytical procedures, and instrumentation, such as Luminescence dating,[1]Tephrochronology,[2] or Surface exposure dating.[3] To that end, the journal is a platform for new and groundbreaking applications targeting the timing of events and processes in the Quaternary Period.
The journal was launched by Rainer Grün in 2006[4] as a stand-alone journal to cover discovery in the field Quaternary Geochronology as research discipline. Before, articles from that field were published as a subsection in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews.
