Integrating environmental DNA, geoscience and zooarcheology within the Q-group

The Q-group research clusters in glacial geology, stratigraphy, associated landscapes as well as zoo- archaeology and environmental DNA. A longstanding goal is to integrate environmental DNA research with the Quaternary Sciences to open a new frontier in global geobiohistory.
