The Pliocene and Quaternary stratigraphic schemes of Russia elaborated during the last years by the scientists of the Department of Quaternary Geology (presently the Laboratory of the Quaternary Stratigraphy) of the Geological Institute, RAS, are analyzedPrinciples of compilation of the schemes, taxonomic rank of subdivisions, and the problem of the lower boundary of the Quaternary, are

Chronostratigraphy (time rock stratigraphy) is the branch of stratigraphy concerned with the application of time to rock successions, the ultimatel goal of which is the establishment of a globally applicable standard time scaleThe chronostratigraphical scale originated as a relative one which was been built up, like a jig saw puzzle

The refined Quaternary stratigraphic scale of the Cisuralian and Bashkortostan regions, approved by the Commission on the Quaternary System of the Interdepartmental Stratigraphic Committee in , includes the Eopleistocene (with three superhorizons and seven horizons), Neopleistocene (with three superhorizons and horizons), and Holocene (one horizon and three subhorizons).

Stratigraphical charts for the QuaternaryThe formal division of the Quaternary is the responsibility of the IUGS International Commission on Stratigraphys (ICS) Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS), in partnership with the International Union for Quaternary Researchs (INQUA) Commission on Stratigraphy and Chronology (SACCOM).

Quaternary Stratigraphy and Mapping in the Yucca Mountain Area By John WWhitney, Emily MTaylor, and John RWesling Abstract Stratigraphic studies and mapping of near surface deposits, soils, and geomorphic surfaces provide essential data for deter mining the history of Quaternary faulting at Yucca Mountain.

Isotope stratigraphy is a method of determining relative ages of sediments based on measurement of isotopic ratios of a particular elementIt works on the principle that the proportions of some isotopes incorporated in biogenic minerals (calcite, aragonite, phosphate) change through time in response to fluctuating palaeoenvironmental and geological conditions.

The Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) is a constituent body of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), the largest scientific organisation within the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS)It is also the only body concerned with stratigraphy on a global scale for the whole geological column.

New Quaternary stratigraphic framework for SingaporeThe Quaternary geology of Singapore in the KRB is more complex than previously represented in the stratigraphic framework of DSTA , which is also not fully consistent nor compliant with international standards for Quaternary stratigraphy (c.fson et al Hughes ).
