The study of the Quaternary (the last 2 million years of the earths
history) involves a broad group of disciplines ranging from biology,
climatology, archaeolog
y
to surficial geology. This Minor enables students
to obtain a background in Quaternary Studies through course work in
various disciplines offered through regular departments in the Faculties of
