The Paleopedology Commission was formed at the 1965 Congress, and since 1968 has been affiliated to the Soil Genesis, Classification and Cartography Commission of the International Society of Soil Science and since 1990 to the Stratigraphy Commission of the International Union of Geological Sciences. These links reflect the increasingly multidisciplinary activity of the Commission's work in relation to the genesis and Quaternary history of non-buried soils and the recognition and interpretation of pre-Quaternary paleosols.
The Commission now has more then 300 corresponding members spread among these three international unions. Some attend the Congresses of all three, which leaves only one year in four available for major inter-Congress symposia of the Commission. However, many also attend inter-Congress meetings organised jointly with other INQUA or ISSS Commissions.
