Understanding landscape evolution throughout the Quaternary is essential for reconstructing the timing and rates of past environmental changes that shaped the Earth's surface and trajectories of human evolution. Robust chronologies, combined with a detailed understanding of Earth surface processes, are key to disentangling the dynamic interplay between climate and human interactions. Over recent decades, advances in geochronological techniques (e.g., luminescence and cosmogenic nuclide dating) have significantly expanded our ability to date and interpret geomorphic and sedimentary archives.

This session invites contributions that explore methodological developments, challenges in geochronological data interpretation and applications in geomorphology, palaeoclimatology, and palaeoanthropology. We particularly welcome research that connects landscape dynamics with archaeological records to illuminate how environmental and geomorphic changes influenced human evolution, and dispersal.
