Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interaction between climate change and the substrate in which river valleys developed during the interglacial and glacial periods is one of the acquired sources of knowledge for Quaternary fluvial systems. The history of the development of fluvial forms depends on many factors. Not only the geographic location, climatic zone or geological structure, but the size of the valleys or even the direction of the valley forms point out that each valley on Earth is individual. Even the study of the same river valley, but in different sections of it, shows its polygenicity and complexity.
Given the scientific scope of Quaternary, the topics of interest of this Special Issue, “Quaternary Environmental Change and Fluvial History”, include original papers related to basic and applied research on the geology and geomorphology, against the role of the tectonics and climatic oscillations during glacial and interglacial periods within the last million years. Geomorphometric, GIS, lithopetrographic, sedimentological, bio- and zoostratigraphic, geochemical and geochronological (chronostratigraphic) analyses have been provided and presented in the sources and will contribute to providing information on the upbringing of the river valleys in time and space.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Quaternary is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
