ISSUED QUARTERLY BY COOPERATION OF THE GEOLOGISTS IN NORDEN
SPONSORS The National Councils for Scientific Research in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Boreas is supported financially
by the Nordic Publishing Board in Science (NOP-N).
EDITORS Christian Hjort (Editor) and Karstin Malmberg Persson (Assistant Editor), Department of Quaternary Geology, University
of Lund, Sweden.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND EDITORIAL BOARD Denmark: Karen Luise Knudsen (Michael Houmark-Nielsen). Finland: Matti

PROGRAMME Boreas accepts manuscripts from all branches of Quaternary research. Aspects of the Quaternary environment, in both
glaciated and non-glaciated areas, are dealt with: Climate, shore displacement, glacial features, land forms, sediments, organisms and their
habitat, and stratigraphical and chronological relationships. Anticipated international interest is a main criterion for the acceptance of
papers. The maximum acceptable length of a paper is 12 printed pages, unless the author is willing to pay a page charge for pages
exceeding this number. As well as articles, Boreas includes book reviews, INQUA news, letters to the editor, discussions, and announce-
ments of meetings, etc. The language is English.
