Stratigraphic setting of the Anthropocene in the Quaternary

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

The beginning and the evolution of the term ‘Anthropocene’ are presented. This term reflects a rising human impact on the natural environment and is widely recognized in the public. After several years of deliberations among the geologists, a final proposal of the Anthropocene Working Group was submitted to the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) to establish a new chronostratigraphic unit ‘the Anthropocene’, representing a series/epoch status and a GSSP at AD 1952. This proposal was not accepted by the ICS and the Executive Committee of the International Union of Geological Sciences. The Anthropocene cannot be a formal stratigraphic unit as it is spatially and temporally variable and its onset is not adequately represented by the isochronous boundary. On the other hand, the Anthropocene can be treated as a geological event, establishment of which does not need to pass through any formal procedure. Such approach means that we live still in the current interglacial of the Holocene Epoch. The Anthropocene as a concept will remain an invaluable descriptor of human-environment interactions and it will continue to be widely used not only by Earth and environmental scientists, but also by social scientists, politicians, economists and the public.
