Abstract: A stratigraphic approach to the Quaternary which takes into account the changes in climate (Pleistocene cold stages = glacials, and Pleistocene warm stages = interglacials, with considerable variations in temperature and humidity), and appearance and disappearance of ice sheets in certain areas. Reduced ice sheets might have remained during the interglacials

Key words: Mega-glacials/mega-interglacials, Pleistocene cold stages = glacials, warm stages = interglacials, ice covers = glaciations
