This book is of interest to all of you willing to gain perspective
both in time and in depth about the global environmental crises we
are facing in the Anthropocene as well as pondering potential
solutions. Humans are dominating the Earth's environment and
causing global changes in the most recent geologic time called the
Anthropocene. Global changes are caused by both natural events like
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, or caused by humans like global
warming and pollution of air, water, and soil. The author documents
all types of global changes, beyond climate change, pointing out
the risks for humanity when all these changes combine in time. Hans
Nelson describes global changes while traveling through an earth
scientist's 60-year global journey. Throughout his memoirs, the
author provides many humorous examples of adventures taking place
during the scientific studies on land and at sea. He makes
suggestions for a sustainable planet and shows that humans
worldwide in the past, and can in the future, work together on
solutions for global change problems. Students can use this book to
learn about the many aspects of global change and methods that
marine geologists use to obtain data on geologic hazards,
resources, and environmental changes.
