Quaternary of Egypt

Abstract

More than 100 years of continuing research into the Quaternary of Egypt has produced numerous publications. In the last twenty years, Quaternary studies have witnessed great advances in both theories and methodologies, and the pace of archaeological research has accelerated as a new generation of researchers joined in expounding the different dimensions of the Quaternary period of Egypt. We aim in this contribution to provide an up-to-date synthesis of recent research on high-resolution and well-dated paleo-environmental archives of proxy data to understand the emerging picture of the impact of climate change on sediments, paleoenvironments and landscapes in Egypt as a whole.
