Oxygen isotope and palaeotemperature records from six Greenland ice‐core stations: Camp Century, Dye‐3, GRIP, GISP2, Renland and NorthGRIP

S. J. Johnsen, Dorthe Dahl‐Jensen, N. Gundestrup et al. · 1 May 2001

Abstract Oxygen isotope variations spanning the last glacial cycle and the Holocene derived from ice‐core records for six sites in Greenland (Camp Century, Dye‐3, GRIP, GISP2, Renland and NorthGRIP) show strong similarities. This suggests that the dominant influence on oxygen isotope variations reflected in the ice‐sheet records was regional climatic change. Differences in detail between…

Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)

Mike Walker, Max Berkelhammer, Svante Björck et al. · 30 Aug 2012

Abstract This discussion paper, by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommision on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), considers the prospects for a formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch. Although previous attempts to subdivide the Holocene have proved inconclusive, recent developments in…

An event stratigraphy for the Last Termination in the North Atlantic region based on the Greenland ice-core record: a proposal by the INTIMATE group

Svante Björck, M. J. C. Walker, Les C. Cwynar et al. · 1 Jul 1998

It is suggested that the GRIP Greenland ice-core should constitute the stratotype for the Last Termination. Based on the oxygen isotope signal in that core, a new event stratigraphy spanning the time interval from ca. 22.0 to 11.5 k GRIP yr BP (ca. 19.0–10.0 k 14C yr BP) is proposed for the North Atlantic region.…

Formal ratification of the Quaternary System/Period and the Pleistocene Series/Epoch with a base at 2.58 Ma

Philip L. Gibbard, Martin J. Head, M. J. C. Walker et al. · 20 Jan 2010

Abstract In June 2009, the Executive Committee of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) formally ratified a proposal by the International Commission on Stratigraphy to lower the base of the Quaternary System/Period to the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of the Gelasian Stage/Age at Monte San Nicola, Sicily, Italy. The Gelasian until then…

Formal definition and dating of the GSSP (Global Stratotype Section and Point) for the base of the Holocene using the Greenland NGRIP ice core, and selected auxiliary records

Mike Walker, S. J. Johnsen, Sune Olander Rasmussen et al. · 3 Oct 2008

Abstract The Greenland ice core from NorthGRIP (NGRIP) contains a proxy climate record across the Pleistocene–Holocene boundary of unprecedented clarity and resolution. Analysis of an array of physical and chemical parameters within the ice enables the base of the Holocene, as reflected in the first signs of climatic warming at the end of the Younger…

Journal of Quaternary Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Quaternary Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Quaternary Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Quaternary Science use?
Journal of Quaternary Science uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Journal of Quaternary Science 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Quaternary Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Journal of Quaternary Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Quaternary Science template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Quaternary Science format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Quaternary Science?
Journal of Quaternary Science is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Journal of Quaternary Science template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Quaternary Science PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Quaternary Science template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Quaternary Science template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Quaternary Science template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Quaternary Science PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
