Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of natural geo-ecosystems is mostly described from a purely academic viewpoint. However, the genetic processes of operation within those systems and their evolution in a geological framework may provide a good understanding of the natural conditions and mechanisms that govern our present-day natural environment. This knowledge will help in the evaluation of the risks of natural disasters or hazards and in managing a sustainable environment. We welcome papers that lead to a better understanding of natural systems and their evolution in Quaternary perspectives with the potential for consideration or implementation within present-day and future environments.
