Quaternary geology is the branch of geology that study developments from 2.6 millions years ago onwards.[1][2] In particular Quaternary geology study the process and deposits that developed during the quaternary, a period characterized by glacial-interglacial cycles.[1][2] Quaternary geology has developed over time from being originally a branch of historical geology to becoming a science on its own.[1]
