Event stratigraphy is used to help characterise the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphic
concept, based on analogous deep-time events, for which we provide a novel …

Earth's geological history is divided into chronostratigraphic units that distinguish phases in
the planet's evolution by summarizing complex biotic, geochemical, and climatic changes …

We review and compare proposals for 12 reference sections submitted to the Anthropocene
Working Group of the International Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy, of which …

Animals and plants worldwide are structured in global biogeographic regions, which were
shaped by major geologic forces during Earth history. Recently, humans have changed the …

Even though geologists have rejected the designation of an Anthropocene epoch, the idea
of a major planetary transition in the mid-twentieth century remains useful across physical …

The extensive array of mid‐20th century stratigraphic event signals associated with the
'Great Acceleration'enables precise and unambiguous recognition of the Anthropocene as …

The Anthropocene as a prospective new, ongoing series/epoch must be defensible against
all relevant concerns. We address the seven, still-relevant challenges posed to the …

Abstract The “Great Acceleration” of the mid-20th century provides the causal mechanism of
the Anthropocene, which has been proposed as a new epoch of geological time beginning …

We synthesize research from complementary scientific fields to address the likely future
extent and duration of the proposed Anthropocene epoch. Intensification of human-forced …

Aim Worldwide, floras are becoming homogenized at global scales, but regional patterns
vary. Here, we present the first assessment for the Malesian phytogeographical region in …
