I know that you are all eager to meet colleagues and learn what everyone has been doing over the last four years. Please also give a thought to discovering what is new in areas with which you are less familiar. INQUA is famous for being a multi-disciplinary organisation, which gives us all the chance to expand our horizons, so attend sessions on subjects about which you know little or nothing. You may be very surprised and inspired! I also urge you to attend some of the business meetings that could have unexpected advantages for you. First, the five Commissions responsible for overseeing and facilitating Quaternary science hold business meetings during the Congress. If you attend one or more of these meetings you will learn more about the work of the Commissions, which is aimed at benefitting you, and you could perhaps become involved in that work. For those of you who are Early Career Researchers (ECRs), it will definitely be to your advantage to attend any gatherings this group has. The ECR Committee is increasingly active, both in supporting other young Quaternary scientists and in helping with the work of running INQUA. Do join this is a self-help group, which aims to involve all who are in this category. Many people think General Assemblies at the beginning and end of the Congress are boring but you could learn some useful and interesting facts. Your Executive Committee is committed to improving communication so everyone feels more a part of the INQUA family. Please take advantage of our efforts. Your National Delegate, who will be representing you at the International Council meetings, also needs to hear from you. Please contact him or her, if you have not done so before, if you have matters you wish to raise. They can only work on your behalf if they know what you want or need. Finally, INQUA has so much more to offer than a four-yearly Congress, important though that is. Take this opportunity to talk to Executive and Commission officers to find out how to become involved and benefit during the inter-Congress periods. Best wishes, Margaret Avery INQUA President President's Welcome XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 1 - Dear Congress Participants: Welcome to Nagoya and Japan. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I am pleased to welcome you to the XIX International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) Congress. The XIX INQUA Congress is the first Congress to be held in Japan and the second in Asia after the Beijing Congress in 1991. It is our great pleasure and honor to host the INQUA Congress here in Japan. The Congress has been co-organized by three main organizations: INQUA (International Union for Quaternary Research), JaQUA (Japan Association for Quaternary Re- search), and the Science Council of Japan. The Congress is sponsored and supported by many societies, institutions, companies and individuals. We extend our sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed towards the success of the Congress. The Congress brings together more than 1,800 participants from 70 countries and regions from all over the world. More than 2,000 papers will be presented at the Congress. This will be the second largest Congress after the last Bern Congress in terms of the number of participants and papers. The Congress theme “Quaternary Perspectives on Climate Change, Natural Hazards and Civilization” expresses our challenge towards disaster risk reduction and a sustainable world from the per- spective of Quaternary science. We have four sub-themes, which are 1) Quaternary science for natural hazard mitigation, 2) Understanding and quantifying past changes in the Earth system for improving projections on future climate, sea level, and the environment, 3) Dynamics of human– environment interaction, and 4) Developing and integrating new technologies for Quaternary chronology and stratigraphy. I am convinced that the wide range of scientific topics to be covered during the Congress expresses the broad interests and activities of the participants, and will provide stimulation for future research and international collaboration. The City of Nagoya is located at the center of the Japanese Islands and has a long history. Nagoya and its surroundings host many historic properties, old temples and castles, and also many museums on science, art and natural history, as well as modern automobile and ceramic factories. I hope you will enjoy the varied cultural and natural landscapes and geology during our excursions, and during your stay in Japan. Final ly, on behal f of the Local Organizing Committee, I wish you an enjoyable, fruitful and exciting time at the XIX INQUA Congress in Nagoya. Please enjoy Japanese culture, food, and nature.

XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 12 - Piecing together sea-level change in the Quaternary and the carbon age Robert E. Kopp Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Rutgers Energy Institute, and Institute of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Rutgers University It's a great pleasure to receive this medal, especially since I haven't spent my whole research career focused on the Quaternary. I'm truly grateful that you all judge the contributions I've made to Quaternary science worthy of this recognition. I began in the geosc iences as an undergraduate studying Martian meteorites under the guidance of Munir Humayun, then migrated to the early Proterozoic as a graduate student under the tutelage of Joe Kirschvink -- both excellent mentors who shaped how I work as a scientist. My student research was motivated by a desire to understand the place of life in the Universe-- the unlikely events that led to a thriving biosphere on planet Earth. As I f inished my graduate work, I became increasingly concerned about the place of humanity in that biosphere, which led me -- under the guidance of my mentor, friend, and collaborator Michael Oppenheimer -- to shift my attention from Proterozoic Snowballs to Quaternary interglacials. Using computational skills honed in deep time, I began working on statistical models to piece together the noisy geological records of Quaternary sea-level changes. "Given that the geological record is a far from perfect recorder, and given the physics that make every part of the planet see a different sea-level history," we asked, "how do we combine records and quantify uncertainty in reconstructions of sea-level and ice-volume history?" I started working in the Last Interglacial, in close collaboration with Jerry Mitrovica, Adam Maloof and Frederik Simons. Over the last couple years, my group's paleo-sea level research has developed a major focus on the Holocene, in collaboration with Ben Horton and Andy Kemp. But, driven by the fundamental question of humanity's place in the Earth system, I've also kept a major focus in what some might call the Anthropocene. Some of our work builds directly off the statistical toolkit we developed for paleo-research; my postdocs Carling Hay and Eric Morrow recently led an innovative new reanalysis of 20th century tide gauge records. Some also stems from two years I spent working as a policy fellow in the U.S. Department of Energy; under Rick Duke's mentorship, I became involved in both clean energy diplomacy and the linking of Sir Nicholas Shackleton Medal XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 13 - My Career With INQUA Nat Rutter Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta As a Ph.D student, my advisor said,"You should go to INQUA and present a paper." I said, "What is INQUA?" It was in 1965 in Boulder, Colorado, not far from Alberta, so I went. This made a huge impression on me. Here were scientists from all over the world speaking on an array of Quaternary subjects. I presented my paper on the mountain glaciation of the Canadian Rockies and was able to compare my research with others' glacial studies in North America. Needless to say, I have attended most of the INQUA congresses ever since. During my tenure on the Executive in the 80's and 90's, I saw significant advances in the influence of INQUA.To name a few: we increased our national memberships; physical climate science into economics and decision-making. This linkage drives the future-oriented part of my group's research. But the past and the future are not separate worlds -- paleo-sea level records can calibrate our projections of evolving coastal f lood risks. And, more broadly, records of past warm periods provide our best check on whether the models used to project the future may be underestimating future climate risk. I'd like to close by thanking numerous colleagues from Chicago, Pasadena, Wa- shington, New Jersey, and the American Climate Prospectus research team who have been generous sources of support and ideas we became an independent union in the family of scientific unions; we began to correlate worldwide Quaternary events; and we re-dated the Quaternary to 5.8 my. Our members dominated many IGCP (International Geological Correlation Program) projects and also participated in our own scientific commissions and committees, which stimulated scientific thought. We began to look at the earth as an integrated system, especially with the advent of computer modelling. We were a major force in the development of PAGES (Past Global Changes) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program. We made sure that the Organizing Committee was well represented by Quaternary scientists INQUA Distinguished Service Medal XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 14 - to complement the climate modellers. We stressed that in order to enable us to test past climate models one had to consider climatic proxy data.The modellers did this, and proxy Quaternarists are still strongly represented on PAGES. Needless to say, concern for climate change has increased our inf luence greatly. This can be easily demonstrated by the increase of funding for our research by governments and other agencies. On a personal level, INQUA has made it possible for me to engage in a variety of worldwide projects through contacts I have made in INQUA and other committees. Among others, these include Argentine raised beaches (Enrique Schnack) and Quaternary geology (Jorge Rabassa), Russian Plain loess stratigraphy (Andrie Velichko), Chinese Loess stratigraphy (Liu Tungsheng, Ding Zhongli), Namibian lake deposits (Jim Teller), and glacial drainage (Matti Saarnisto, Rein Vaikmae). In my opinion, INQUA is an important scientific organization bringing together scientists on a worldwide scale in many fields, such as archeology, geography and climate modelling. It is a necessary force to bring about better understanding of the problems facing the world today, especially climate change, natural hazards and understanding human development. INQUA has been an important part of my career, opening doors that I never knew could be opened. Probably the most important thing is that I have made many lasting friendships. May INQUA continue to thrive! I am del ighted to accept the L iu Tungsheng Distinguished Career Medal. I have been interested in Quaternary Geology ever since it was suggested by my PhD supervisor Martin Aitken that, as a recent physics graduate, I should investigate the potential of thermoluminescence signals from mineral grains for dating lava f lows. Although my interest soon moved into the study of sedimentary deposits, I am, 46 years later, still investigating the potential of luminescence signals from minerals as a A lifetime of luminescence in the service of the Quaternary Ann Wintle Depar tment o f Geography and Ear th Sc iences, Aberystwyth University and McDonald Institute for Archaeological Science, Cambridge University Liu Tungsheng Distinguished Career Medal XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 15 - means of dating. My career has taken me into university departments of physics, archaeology, botany and geography, and has convinced me of the importance of interdisciplinary research. Collaborating with Nick Shackleton, another physicist, provided me with the overview of climate change during the Quaternary period and an appreciation of the need for chronologies to be established for terrestrial deposits. I have had the good fortune to have worked with many worldwide experts on loess, and in particular to have been introduced to the Chinese Loess Plateau by Liu Tungsheng during a field trip and workshop in Xian in 1984. My first visit to China in 1984 led to ongoing contact with young Chinese students. Sampling trips to the loess deposits in eastern Europe in the 1980s enabled me to visit countries that were cut off from western research. These countries, with extensive loess deposits, now have their own laboratories and are contributing to our understanding of the luminescence properties of quartz and feldspars. I have had the privilege of being able to share the academic challenges, (and there have been many), with graduate students and post-doctoral researchers who form an academic family of many generations. After setting up a laboratory in Aberystwyth, I was able to host young international researchers, who each brought with them a particular project and interest. Through the initial investigations of optically stimulated luminescence in the 1980s, and the development of a single aliquot dating procedure for quartz, dating of young sedimentary deposits has become routine. However, this does not mean to say that there are no further challenges: it is rather that the questions which can be answered may need to be reformulated with regard to the depositional environment. However, for me the major challenge has always been trying to use luminescence signals to date older and older samples. The complexity of the behaviour of luminescence signals from sedimentary grains of both quartz and feldspars still provides a challenge for samples over 50,000 years, requiring increasingly complex laboratory procedures. Likewise, our understanding of the behaviour has been both enhanced and made more complex by our ability to measure signals from individual sand-sized grains. I hope that the next half-century will see the extension and routine use of luminescence techniques as chronological tools. XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 16 - Emerging signals of tropical Pacific climate variability: the mid- Holocene to the last millennium Kim Cobb Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology Interannual variability in the tropical Pacific climate system has far-reaching effects on global climate patterns, yet lower-frequency changes in tropical Pacific climate, and their relationship to climatic forcings, are difficult to detect with available climate data. In part, this ref lects the paucity of data available from the tropical Pacific, whether instrumental or proxy- derived. However, recent studies continue to expand the range of natural variability in tropical Pacific climate on interannual to millennial timescales. At the same time, increased attention on uncertainties in paleoclimate reconstructions means that the most robust reconstructions are those that are well-replicated. Here we use a growing database of modern and fossil corals from the central tropical Pacific to revisit some key questions about tropical Pacific climate: 1) Is there a statistically significant change in ENSO variance over the last 6,000 years? and What was the magnitude of centennial-scale changes in central tropical Pacific over the last millennium, and how to do such changes relate to extended periods of western US drought? We apply a combination of coral oxygen isotopes and Sr/Ca ratios to over 100 newly-dated coral colonies from these time periods in order to constrain both temperature and hydrological changes over these key periods. As such, we expand and refine the datasets presented in Cobb et al., 2003 and Cobb et al., 2013 to focus on quantifying tropical Pacific climate changes during these two key epochs. Plenary Lectures XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 17 - Ecological Processes in a Changing Environment: Perspectives from the Quaternary Jessica L. Blois Life and Environmental Sciences, School of Natural Sciences University of California, Merced Understanding the patterns of and mechanisms underlying compositional change is important given the many factors that may influence future biodiversity. To provide a long-term context for recent and future biodiversity changes, my research explores the inf luence of two potential primary drivers of biodiversity change: climate and interactions between species. In this talk, I focus on several projects that use the Quaternary fossil record to disentangle these two potential drivers, and in the process, explore the robustness of models commonly used to project future biodiversity changes. Overall, Quaternary fossil assemblages show strong signals of environmental structuring which implies that, at least at broad scales, climate-based models are relatively good for predicting changes in species and communities. However, interactions between species are likely influencing assemblages as well and incorporating associations between taxa into models could lead to relatively greater predictive ability, particularly across periods of substantial climate change. Despite this, all models perform poorly with increasing amounts of climate change, so care needs to be taken when projecting biodiversity changes into potential no-analog climates of the future. Organic molecules as tools for Quaternary paleoclimatology Naohiko Ohkouchi JAMSTEC Oceanic and lake sediments generally contain organic matter 0.5% or more. The sedimentary organic matter is a complex mixture of var ious types of organic molecules produced by diverse organisms inhabiting both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Some of these organic molecules are useful for reconstructing the XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 18 - environmental information when and where they were produced, because they record the physiological response of the source organism to the surrounding environment. During the last several decades, numerous efforts have been made to improve our knowledge on this tool and to apply them to the sediments. So far, many ‘biomarkers’, source-specific organic compounds and compound groups, have been believed to be useful for this purpose. Furthermore, this tool has been strengthened by determining stable/radio isotopic compositions (i.e., D/H, 13C/ 12C, 14C/ 12C, 15N/ 14N etc.) . In the presentation, I overview the recent progresses in the molecular/isotopic tools for the reconstruction of Quaternary paleoenvironment, and show some case studies with the nitrogen isotopic records of chlorophylls and amino acids, and radiocarbon in fatty acids from the oceanic and lake sediments. Connecting remote climate changes? Models can help! Masa Kageyama LSCE/IPSL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France in collaboration with : Pauline Beghin, Sylvie Charbit, Pascale Braconnot, Kenji Izumi, Véronique Mariotti, Charline Marzin, Priscilla Le Mézo, Tilla Roy Each individual palaeoclimatic record tells us a story of local to regional climatic changes with time. Each of these stories constitutes a test of our understanding of the natural variations of the Earth climate system, and therefore a test for climate models, which are built from this understanding. Even more intriguing than individual climate reconstructions are the relationships they suggest between climatic changes at remote locations. These can be seen as long-term equivalents of the “teleconnections” defined by atmospheric dynamicists to analyse short-term variability (typically at interannual time scales, e.g. Wallace and Gutzler, Monthly Weather Review, 1981). Teleconnections can be related to typical patterns in atmospheric circulation which can explain simultaneous changes in atmospheric characteristics at different locations. In this presentation, I will give examples of how climate models can help and study potential “paleoclimatic teleconnections”. All these examples will deal with glacial climate and glacial climate instabilities. I will first investigate the climate of the Last Glacial Maximum over the North Atlantic and Europe, based on simulations f r o m t h e P a l e o c l i m a t e M o d e l l i n g Intercomparison Project (PMIP, Braconnot et al, Nature Climate Change, 2012) and from numerical experiments designed to test the impact of the altitude of the North American ice sheet on the North Atlantic atmospheric circulation and on the XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 19 - Apart f rom the obv ious need for understanding sea-level variability in response to climate change, there is also a need for detailed records of sea-level variability in studies of climate sensitivity to radiative forcing changes. This is because ice-volume variations are a critical factor in the radiative forcing of climate through the ice-albedo feedback process. I will go through the main observational methods that exist for reconstructing past sea-level variations, including their fundamental approaches and assumptions, and hence their limitations and potential. I will conclude with some key examples of how improved understanding of past sea-level variations helps in developing quantitative reconstructions of past equilibrium climate sensitivity.

Rohling Research School of Earth Sciences, The Australian National University European climate. I will show that the LGM North Atlantic circulation and European climate are strongly related to the state of the North American ice sheet and North East Atlantic, which suggests a link between climatic changes on both sides of the North Atlantic. A second example will deal with a perturbed glacial state in which the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is made to vary, by imposing fresh water fluxes into the North Atlantic. Climate changes around the North Atlantic and at distant locations, such as the tropical Atlantic and Africa, and the area affected by the Indian monsoon, will be investigated and the roles or tropical vs. extra-tropical teleconnections will be compared. Finally, I will discuss the potential of reconstructing both surface and subsurface temperatures for the LGM equatorial Pacific, in terms of reconstructing con- sistent scenarios of oceanic, and maybe even atmospheric, circulations. XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 20 - Utilizing results of Quaternary studies to predict earthquake scenarios and resultant ground motion of future earthquakes Haruko Sekiguchi DPRI, Kyoto Univerisy In seismologically active regions like Japan, where disastrous earthquakes occur repeatedly, ground motion predictions for future earthquakes are an important decision-making tool when establishing strength requirements for buildings and infrastructure and making rescue and support plans for earthquake disasters. Ground motion predictions are generally made with numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation within a crustal structure model, where the seismic wave is f irst generated by a source model activated inside the crustal structure model. Geological and geographical data along with seismological and geotechnical data are used in source and crustal structure modeling. Recently, in order to achieve realistic ground motion predictions, we have developed methods to construct more realistic source and crustal structure models by making further use of geological and geographical data under a Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) contract research project titled “Comprehensive Research on the Uemachi Fault Zone.” For source modeling, we estimated the source processes with a numerical simulation of dynamic rupture under the constraints derived from geological and geographical data. The shape of the fault plane under the earth’s surface was estimated from the flexure structure of the sedimentary layer on the hanging wall. The uplift rate distribution was evaluated from the gap of sedimentary layers across the fault trace identified from 2 m DEM data, which were used to estimate the typical stress distribution on that fault plane. The source processes were estimated with a numerical simulation of the spontaneous propagation of a rupture on the fault plane under the constraints of the stress distribution and the faulting dynamics. While we cannot predict the one true source process that will be realized during the next earthquake given the present level of our knowledge and technology, we do expect that we can better constrain variations in the source process model by introducing geological and geographical data for the target fault and applying dynamic modeling techniques. For crustal structure modeling, the three- dimensional Osaka sedimentary basin model was revised. The Osaka sedimentary basin, which overlays the Uemachi Fault Zone, is densely inhabited and has exhibited high amplification tendencies for seismic waves. The main data to construct the sedimentary structure model were obtained by geophysical surveys. Moreover, geological information was useful for interpolating XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 21 - Giant Tsunamis in the Holocene: Geological and Historical Evidence and Geophysical Modeling Kenji Satake Earthquake Research Institute, the University of Tokyo the physical properties three-dimensionally because this enabled us to introduce the geological factors inf luencing the physical properties during interpolation. We arranged the geophysical survey data in terms of the depositional time and generated the geological model first. Then, we transferred the geological structure model into the velocity structure model by considering the dependence of physical properties not only on the depth but also on the depositional time and maximum buried depth. Based on the new source models for the Uemachi Fault Zone and the new velocity structure model of the Osaka basin, the ground motion in the basin was computed. The synthetic results suggest that the seismic intensity would be approximately 6- to 7 all over the Osaka plain if an earthquake were to occur in this region. Tsunami deposits provide important information on past earthquakes and tsunamis. Date and location of the past earthquake and tsunami can be accurately estimated, if the tsunami deposit data are combined with historical records. Type of tsunami source and size can be studied, if geophysical modeling such as coastal deformation or tsunami simulation is combined. As an example, I will review studies on the AD 869 Jogan earthquake, a predecessor of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Tsunami deposits have been found on the Sendai and Ishinomaki Plains in northern Japan (Minoura and Nakaya, 1991, J. Geology; Minoura et al., 2001, J. Natural Disaster Sci.; Sawai et al., 2012, Geophys. Res. Lett. ). Tsunami deposits typically associate with the AD 915 ash layer from Towada volcano, and extend at least 1.5 km inland from the estimated shoreline around that time, which is 1–1.5 km inland from the present coast. According to a historical document (“Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku”), a strong ground shaking and the ensuing tsunami caused 1000 fatalities around Sendai on July 9, 869 ( Jogan era on the Japanese calendar). Distribution of the tsunami deposits was used to estimate the size and fault parameters of the Jogan earthquake. Tsunami inundation was computed from various types of fault models and compared with the distribution of tsunami deposits (Sawai et al., 2012, GRL). The best model for the Jogan earthquake was an interplate type XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 22 - with moment magnitude of Mw 8.4. In this comparison, the distribution of tsunami deposits was assumed to coincide with the simulated inundation area. Mapping of the modern tsunami deposits from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake on these plains indicated that no sandy tsunami deposits were found near the inundation limit (Goto et al., 2011, Marine Geology). By using the simulated f low depths and velocities for the 2011 tsunami, the size of the 869 earthquake was updated to at least Mw of 8.6 (Namegaya and Satake, 2014, GRL). Recent paleotsunami studies, started after the 2011 tsunami, found possible Jogan tsunami deposits, both north and south of the Sendai plain. Tsunami numerical simulation from fault models would better constrain the size and location of the 869 Jogan earthquake and other predecessors of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. The Quaternary Period/System and its official subdivision: past, present, and future Martin J. Head Chair, International Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy The Quaternary as a subdivision of geologic time was f irst introduced by Arduino in 1760. It was subsequently used formally for marine sediments in the Seine Basin by Desnoyers in 1829, and featured on most geological time scales for at least 120 years. Attempts by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) beginning in 2004 to suppress the Quaternary as an official term were resisted by the ICS’s own Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) and by INQUA. The position of SQS and subsequently that of INQUA was that the Quaternary should bear the rank of system/period and begin at 2.6 Ma, taking advantage of the pre-existing Gelasian Stage Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) at Monte San Nicola in Sicily which is conveniently close to the widely correlated Gauss–Matuyama Chron boundary. This was a pragmatic decision because the intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciation (iNHG), with which the Quaternary is loosely associated, starts earlier, at ~2.74 Ma in the Piacenzian. An obstacle to the demands of SQS and INQUA, that the Quaternary begin at 2.6 Ma, was the existing Pliocene–Pleistocene Series boundary already established at Vrica in Italy and dated at 1.8 Ma. To maintain both boundaries would have violated hierarchical requirements of the time scale. Following protracted, intense XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 23 - Towards better radiocarbon calibration: A story of a Japanese lake Takeshi Nakagawa Research Centre for Palaeoclimatology, Ritsumeikan University Radiocarbon dating is the most widely used method of age determination for the last 50,000 years. However, radiocarbon dates need to be calibrated into more accurate ‘calendar ’ ages because the radiocarbon production rate is not constant through geological time. Because the last 50,000 years is characterised by a number of abrupt climatic oscillations and is the most relevant to the modern humans, improving accuracy of radiocarbon calibration model is of major interest for a range of quaternary and sometimes acrimonious debate, the Quaternary was officially defined in June 2009 at the rank of system/period with a base at 2.6 Ma, and the Pliocene– Pleistocene boundary accordingly lowered to the same level. These decisions cannot now be officially revisited until 2019. While the importance of iNHG at ~2.74 Ma is not disputed, new research has revealed an important shift in North Atlantic circulation at 2.6 Ma with concomitant and presumably related changes occurring elsewhere in the higher northern latitudes, all essentially coincident with the base of the Quaternary. In 2011, the Calabrian was defined as the second lowest stage of the Quaternary (the lowest being the Gelasian), utilizing the former Pleistocene GSSP at Vrica. The base of the Holocene had earlier, in 2008, been defined at 11,700 calendar years before AD 2000 in a Greenland ice core. The Early–Middle Pleistocene boundary is the most pressing boundary currently under consideration, with the Matuyama–Brunhes Chron boundary serving as its primary guide. Three candidate GSSPs are under consideration, the Valle di Manche and Montalbano Jonico sections in Italy and the Chiba section in Japan. These are all being presented at a special session during this congress, with the Chiba section also the subject of a post-congress excursion. Future challenges include the definition of the Upper Pleistocene with a base near that of the last interglacial (~130 ka), a suggested tripartite subdivision of the Holocene (at 8.2 ka BP and 4.2 ka BP), a decision on the status and rank of the Anthropocene (presently preferred onset at some time in the mid-20th century), and if necessary a robust defense of the Quaternary itself in 2019! XIX INQUA 2015 in Nagoya - 24 - scientist. Recently, a lake in Japan largely contributed to improve the accuracy of radiocarbon calibration. The most reliable calibration model can be produced from tree rings as the tree ring chronology is allegedly free of errors (at least in annual resolution) and tree tissues are fixing atmospheric carbon. At the moment, however, the tree ring-based calibration model only stretches back to the Lateglacial. Beyond the tree ring limit, the international consensus calibration model (IntCal) was based on marine records. Although the researchers were fully aware of the problem of marine reservoir effect that causes multi- centennial scale uncertainties in calibrated ages, the quaternary community was reluctantly relying on the marine datasets as there were no better alternative solutions. Potential of lacustrine varve as a material for terrestrial calibration model has long been recognised since Kitagawa & van der Plicht proposed a very ambitious calibration dataset from Lake Suigetsu, Japan back in 1998. Their dataset did not become an integral part of the international consensus calibration model as the studied sediment core (recovered in 1993) was not fully continuous. In 2006, a new set of fully overlapping sediment cores was recovered again from the lake. An international collaboration team, established in 2008, intensively worked on the core to generate: i) fully continuous varve chronology and ii) over 500 radiocarbon determinations on terrestrial leaf fossils. Two separate methods (thin-section microscopy and XRF scanning) were employed to perform varve counting. Varve and radiocarbon datasets were combined into a unified calibration dataset, the uncertainties of which was then considerably reduced by Bayesian modeling onto stalagmite datasets. The Kitagawa and van der Plicht (1998) dataset was also revived by stratigrafically correlating laminations to the new core. Finally, the fully terrestrial radiocarbon calibration dataset that the research team proposed in 2012 was ratified as the largest component of the IntCal13 calibration model. In the presentation, some (possibly dramatic) stories of the endeavour of the Suigetsu research team, as well as some (possibly very important) implications of the new chronology for the understanding of the glacial climate oscillations will be presented.
