Quaternary and Marine Geology Working Group

Aims

To advance the understanding of Quaternary and marine geological processes through interdisciplinary research, knowledge exchange, and capacity building. The group seeks to promote scientific discussions, field-based investigations, and collaborative research initiatives that contribute to improved reconstructions of past environments, sea-level change, sedimentary processes, and climate–ocean interactions, with particular relevance to Malaysia and the surrounding regions.
