  • The Anthropocene as a conceptual tool for education

    Open AccessNathanaël Wallenhorst, Simon Turner et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2026

    In a world where facts are contested, the conceptual tool of the Anthropocene epoch – that is, the dramatic and clearly demonstrable ways humans have changed the Earth system trajectory since the mid-20th century – provides real value for society in general and for education in particular. As a unifying concept, it helps us (a) understand the transformed bioclimatic conditions in which we live, (b) appreciate how fragile they are, how rapidly the…

  • The concerns of the young protesters are justified

    Open AccessGregor Hagedorn, Thomas Loew et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2019

    In March 2019, German-speaking scientists and scholars calling themselves Scientists for Future , published a statement in support of the youth protesters in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Fridays for Future, Klimastreik/Climate Strike) , verifying the scientific evidence that the youth protestors refer to. In this article, they provide the full text of the statement, including the list of supporting facts (in both English and German) as well…

  • Scale and diversity of the physical technosphere

    Open AccessJ Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2017Citada por: 37Referências: 38

    We assess the scale and extent of the physical technosphere, defined here as the summed material output of the contemporary human enterprise. It includes active urban, agricultural and marine components, used to sustain energy and material flow for current human life, and a growing residue layer, currently only in small part recycled back into the active component. Preliminary estimates suggest a technosphere mass of approximately 30 trillion ton…

  • Petrifying Earth Process

    Open AccessJ Zalasiewicz, Will Steffen et al.ARTICLETheory Culture & Society2017Citada por: 18Referências: 8

    The Anthropocene concept arose within the Earth System science (ESS) community, albeit explicitly as a geological (stratigraphical) time term. Its current analysis by the stratigraphical community, as a potential formal addition to the Geological Time Scale, necessitates comparison of the methodologies and patterns of enquiry of these two communities. One means of comparison is to consider some of the most widely used results of the ESS, the 'pla…

  • The Anthropocene is functionally and stratigraphically distinct from the Holocene

    Open AccessColin N Waters, J Zalasiewicz et al.ARTICLEScience2016

    Evidence of an Anthropocene epoch Humans are undoubtedly altering many geological processes on Earth—and have been for some time. But what is the stratigraphic evidence for officially distinguishing this new human-dominated time period, termed the “Anthropocene,” from the preceding Holocene epoch? Waters et al. review climatic, biological, and geochemical signatures of human activity in sediments and ice cores. Combined with deposits of new mater…

  • The geological cycle of plastics and their use as a stratigraphic indicator of the Anthropocene

  • When did the Anthropocene begin? A mid-twentieth century boundary level is stratigraphically optimal

  • Colonization of the Americas, 'Little Ice Age' climate, and bomb-produced carbon

    Open AccessJ Zalasiewicz, Colin N Waters et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2015Citada por: 27Referências: 45

    A recently published analysis by Lewis and Maslin (Lewis SL and Maslin MA (2015) Defining the Anthropocene. Nature 519: 171-180) has identified two new potential horizons for the Holocene−Anthropocene boundary: 1610 (associated with European colonization of the Americas), or 1964 (the peak of the excess radiocarbon signal arising from atom bomb tests). We discuss both of these novel suggestions, and consider that there is insufficient stratigraph…
