The Anthropocene

, 2015
The Anthropocene hypothesis—that humans have impacted “the environment” but also changed the Earth’s geology—has spread widely through the sciences and humanities. This hypothesis is being currently tested to see whether the Anthropocene may become part of the Geological Time Scale.

The Socialocene: From Capitalocene to Transnational Waste Regimes

Antipode, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract In this article I will present a relational, and multiscalar, perspective on how state socialism interacted with and shaped the Capitalocene. I introduce a heuristic device, the term Socialocene, a transnational waste regime dominant through the Cold War‐era, that is, during what Will Steffen and colleagues call “the great acceleration”.

Estimating Speed Error of Commercial Radar Tracking to Inform Whale–Ship Strike Mitigation Efforts

Sensors
Vessel speed reduction measures are a management tool used to reduce the risk of whale–ship strikes and mitigate their impacts. Large ships and other commercial vessels are required to publicly share tracking information, including their speed, via the ...

Glacial geomorphology of the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica

Journal of Maps, 2019
Several regions of tropical America show imprints of past glacial activity. These relict landforms can support the understanding of past climate conditions, such as during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and the implications that these paleoclimatic ...

Climate impacts on tree growth in a Neotropical high mountain forest of the Peruvian Andes

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Global warming can jeopardize important ecosystem functions and services in sensitive Neotropical mountain areas. However, untangling the relative roles of natural climate variability pattern from current global warming trends still represent a major ...

Insect Declines in the Anthropocene.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2020
Insect declines are being reported worldwide for flying, ground, and aquatic lineages. Most reports come from western and northern Europe, where the insect fauna is well-studied and there are considerable demographic data for many taxonomically disparate

The Anthropocene

, 2022
A few years ago the 'Anthropocene' was a little-known concept coined by a couple of scientists. Today it is inspiring lively debate in the news media, in United Nations meetings about anthropogenic climate change, and elsewhere. Who created the idea, and why? What explains its recent rise to prominence? What are its real-world implications?

Stratigraphy of the Anthropocene

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2011
The Anthropocene, an informal term used to signal the impact of collective human activity on biological, physical and chemical processes on the Earth system, is assessed using stratigraphic criteria. It is complex in time, space and process, and may be considered in terms of the scale, relative timing, duration and novelty of its various phenomena. The
