The first editorial board meeting 2019 of Quaternary Science Journal (EGQSJ) will be held at the EGU meeting in Vienna. EGQSJ is an interdisciplinary open-access journal published by the German Quaternary Association (DEUQUA e.V.) since 1951, and it is one of the longest-running journals related to Quaternary research. It was successfully relaunched in 2018 at Copernicus Publications. EGQSJ publishes peer-reviewed articles and express reports, as well as thesis abstracts related to Quaternary geology, paleo-environments, paleo-ecology, soil science, paleo-climatology, geomorphology, geochronology, archaeology, and geoarchaeology focussing on, but not limited to, research from central Europe.
