Working groups

The SQS currently has three Working Groups the task of which is the:
Formalization of Global Stratotype section and Points (GSSP) for the Lower/Middle and for the Middle/Upper subseries/subepoch boundaries of the Pleistocene Series/Epoch. The formal nomenclature for the subseries/subepoch divisions of the Pleistocene will be Lower/Early, Middle/Mid-, and Upper/Late.
Formalization of a GSSA for the base of the Holocene Series/Epoch.
  • Pleistocene / Holocene boundary working group
  • Middle / Late Pleistocene boundary working group
  • Early /Middle Pleistocene boundary working group
