Abstract

Abstract This work presents a synthesis on the stratigraphy and geochronology of the Quaternary Period after the chronological updating ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS-IUGS) and the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA). We show the more recent (updated) stratigraphic, chronologic and paleoclimatic data regarding to the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the classical approaches and bibliography for these subjects. We offer a general view on the Prehistory in the framework of the more characteristic climatic episodes or events in the environs of the Iberian Peninsula during the upper Pleistocene, Holocene and Anthropocene. This synthesis wants to be a summarized guide of the Quaternary chronology for all those people working in the Quaternary Period without a proper scientific knowledge on the topic.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-09-13:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 107.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 115 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 3.25.
  • The number of mentions on the social network Facebook: 1 (Altmetric).
