The German Quaternary Association (Deutsche Quartärvereinigung, DEUQUA e.V.) is the official union of German-speaking Quaternary scientists. The aim of the association is to support Quaternary science, to present it to the public, to intensify contacts to the applied sciences, and to provide advice to public and political authorities on issues related to Quaternary science. Furthermore, the association supports networking among Quaternary scientists and neighbouring disciplines at home and abroad.
DEUQUA Special Publications (DEUQUASP) publishes field guidebooks and special volumes related to Quaternary research. Volumes are usually organised and managed by guest editors. If you would like to propose a topic for a volume, or you wish to submit a manuscript to DEUQUASP, please first contact the chief editor.
Online system Copernicus Office unavailable on Sunday, 12 April 2026
The Copernicus online application 'Copernicus Office', the infrastructure on which the journal review system and conference organization run, is being prepared for the coming years! On Sunday, 12 April 2026, the system will be migrated and will therefore be unavailable from 04:00 CEST until approximately 20:00 CEST. Our goal is to make the system more efficient, secure, and powerful.
What will be unavailable? The entire journal review process will be unavailable. Furthermore, the website search function will not be accessible. However, the online libraries containing preprints and journal articles can be used as usual.
We ask for your understanding regarding this significant change to the Copernicus Office and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you very much for your interest in our services.
