Abstract
The purpose of this symposium is to verify the merits and demerits of the extensive land transformation for the Quaternary Research, the history of land transformation during the Quaternary Period, and the regionality of disasters and environmental degradation caused by land transformation, from the viewpoint of the Quaternary Research. Besides, the methodology for the study of the artificial environments formed by land transformation, as well as the technology for land reclamation and environmental conservation are also sought from the angle of the Quaternary Research.
