Reduced effective radiative forcing from cloud–aerosol interactions (ERFaci) with improved treatment of early aerosol growth in an Earth system model [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Historically, aerosols of anthropogenic origin have offset some of the warming from increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The strength of this negative aerosol forcing, however, is highly uncertain – especially the part originating from ...

Defaunation in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Science, 2014 We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly, human impacts on animal biodiversity are an under-recognized form of global environmental change. Among terrestrial vertebrates, 322 species have become extinct since 1500, and

Drivers and variability of CO2:O2 saturation along a gradient from boreal to Arctic lakes
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lakes are significant players for the global climate since they sequester terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and emit greenhouse gases like CO2 to the atmosphere.

Obligations in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Law and Critique, 2020 The Anthropocene is a term described by Earth Systems Science to capture the recent rupture in the history of the Earth where human action has acquired the power to alter the Earth System as a whole. While normative conclusions cannot be logically derived from this descriptive fact, this paper argues that law and philosophy ought to develop responses ...

Involving Anthroponomy in the Anthropocene: On Decoloniality [PDF]
, 2020 This book introduces the idea of anthroponomy – the organization of humankind to support autonomous life – as a response to the problems of today’s purported Anthropocene age.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Boreal lakes are the most abundant lakes on Earth. Changes in acid rain deposition, climate, and catchment land use have increased lateral fluxes of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM), resulting in a widespread browning of boreal freshwaters ...

On the Anthropocene formalization and the proposal by the Anthropocene Working Group
Geologica Acta, 2020 In the coming years the Anthropocene will be likely submitted to formalization by the Anthropocene Working Group as a chronostratigraphic unit of the Geologic Time Scale.

Phosphorus Availability Promotes Bacterial DOC-Mineralization, but Not Cumulative CO2-Production
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The current trend of increasing input of terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to boreal freshwater systems is causing increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) supersaturation and degassing.

THE ANTHROPOCENE AND THE PLANET
History and Theory, 2023 ABSTRACTDipesh Chakrabarty's The Climate of History in a Planetary Age is, in three respects, far more than a synthesis of over a decade of pioneering conceptual work aimed at making sense of the Anthropocene/planetary predicament and its implications for historical understanding.
