The Case for the Anthropocene Epoch Is Stronger Than the Case for the Holocene Epoch

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The recommendation that the Anthropocene be denoted as a geological epoch was recently rejected by the International Union of Geological Sciences. Here, we compare the scientific rationales presented for the Anthropocene, the Holocene and the six other epochs in the Cenozoic Era: the Pleistocene, the Pliocene, the Miocene, the Oligocene, the ...

South American Great Basin: Limnogeological analysis of the Salina del Bebedero Basin, Argentina (Late Pleistocene‐recent)

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 739-763, April 2025.
. The Bebedero tectonic depression in San Luis province, Argentina, is a closed drainage basin that has formed as a result of block‐faulting and rifting processes. The Bebedero lake exhibits notable similarities to the endorheic watersheds of the western United States, particularly those of Death Valley, the Saline Valley and, to a lesser extent, the ...

Le Gargasien de Gargas (Vaucluse, SE de la France) : synthèse des données de terrain et révision de la microfaune de foraminifères et d'ostracodes [The Gargasian of Gargas (Vaucluse, SE France): Synthesis of field data and revision of the foraminiferal and ostracodal microfauna]

Carnets de Géologie, 2009
Because of urbanization the section at Gargas, historical stratotype of the Aptian stage and of the Gargasian substage, is no longer accessible. However, samples taken there in 1966 by one of us make feasible a reinterpretation of this series in the ...

Geoheritage, a National Inventory in France [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceGood protection measures for geological heritage should begin with an inventory of geosites. In France, for example, a law enacted in 2002 grants formal recognition to the notion of geological heritage.

Would Adding the Anthropocene to the Geologic Time Scale Matter?

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Abrupt planetary change forced by the cumulative and overwhelming impacts of human activities in the mid‐twentieth century supports a new geologic epoch, named after Anthropos, the agent of this change. This transformation extends well beyond Holocene norms and is identified in geologic records worldwide.
