The INQUA Commission on Terrestrial Processes, Deposits, and History (TERPRO) promotes and supports research on Quaternary topics related to terrestrial environments and history, especially in areas that investigate new frontiers in science and incorporate multiple and cross-disciplinary research efforts, multi-national research, and involve developing countries. TERPRO encourages the development of projects that link continental environments together and to oceans and climate, and which place them into a chronological framework and incorporate the ecological and human environment.
During the INQUA intercongress period (2007-2011), TERPRO was especially interested in supporting research in several "Focus Areas". These areas and their leaders were:
The past (2007-2011) Focus Area Groups can be consulted at: http://www.terpro.dri.edu
Focus Area Groups for the present intercongress period (2012-2015)
The TERPRO Focus Area Groups and their leaders are:
1 - Palaeohydrological change and Fluvial archive (Gerardo Benito, SPAIN).
2 - PASTSOILS: Paleosol and soil analysis for assessing climate, time and duration of land surface stability of Quaternary terrestrial systems (Daniela Sauer, GERMANY; Rivka Amit, ISRAEL; Sergey Sedov, MEXICO)
3 - Quaternary Geology of South America (Daniela Kröhling, ARGENTINA)
4 - Rapid changes during the glacial transition (Lev Tarasov, CANADA)
5 - Paleoseismology and active tectonics (Pablo G. Silva Barroso, SPAIN)
6 - Hazards and humans (Suzanne Leroy, UK)
7 - Aeolian history of deserts and arid regions (Nick Lancaster, USA)
