The Anthropocene, a term launched into public debate by Nobel Prize
winner Paul Crutzen, has been used informally to describe the time
period during which human actions have had a drastic effect on the
Earth and its ecosystems. This book presents evidence for defining
the Anthropocene as a geological epoch, written by the high-profile
international team analysing its potential addition to the
geological time scale. The evidence ranges from chemical signals
arising from pollution, to landscape changes associated with
urbanisation, and biological changes associated with species
invasion and extinctions. Global environmental change is placed
within the context of planetary processes and deep geological time,
allowing the reader to appreciate the scale of human-driven change
and compare the global transition taking place today with major
transitions in Earth history. This is an authoritative review of
the Anthropocene for graduate students and academic researchers
across scientific, social science and humanities disciplines.
