Summary

Dating of geological materials is of universal concern to earth scientists working on various problems within the Quaternary. If we are to adequately determine the ages of diverse materials in numerous Quaternary sequences all over the world, we must bring together specialists from several disciplines who are working, in some cases, with the newest dating techniques, and in others, with the older "classical" methods. In many research situations the use of a combination of dating methods provides the greatest return for time and labor spent in the field and laboratory. Over one hundred research scientists, from many parts of North America, convened at York University in May, 1981, to discuss dating methods of interest to Quaternary scientists. The publication of this proceedings volume should be viewed as a statement of where we are at present and where we intend to go in the future. Papers are organized into groups dealing with absolute, relative, and multiple dating methods.
