Most users of the word "Anthropocene" will agree that it means a time in which human activities play a significant part in Earth systems. Can the Anthropocene be defined as a chronostratigraphic series with its corresponding Anthropocene epoch as a formal entry on the Geological Time Sca...
The main objectives of this study may be defined as follows: Addressing these objectives will provide information on the role of well-calibrated historical for studying long-term TC dynamics in the SW Indian Ocean basin and for a better understanding of how past variability can improve the baselin...
where an epoch usually spans tens of millions of years. “One criticism of the Anthropocene as geology is that it is very short,” said Zalasiewicz. “Our response is that many of the changes are irreversible.”

The Anthropocene has been identified as an abrupt transition in the Earth System1 driven by human activities2 to create a system that has no prior analogue3. If it is to be geologically-defined as an epoch that follows the Holocene, it must be grounded in the Geologic Time Scale4, and re...

Therefore, the precipitation rate could be defined as the main limiting factor for the development of crop production. To some extent, the adverse impact of scarce precipitation on crop yield has been counter-balanced by the advancement of farming practices. Contrary to the widespread belief that ...
With the categories of ‘event’, ‘practice’ and ‘knowledge’, however, various scales can be bridged; life strategies can be defined as communities of practice and dichotomies be solved. Niche dwellings in the ancient Marmarica, where exposure to stress was normal, functioned because of an...
The idea that the Holocene is over and a new human-dominated geological epoch, the Anthropocene, has begun is being extensively discussed. As yet there is no formal agreement on when the Anthropocene may have started and defining the beginning of an epoch as a formal geologic unit of time re...
