Jan Zalasiewicz, professore di paleobiologia all'Università di Leicester, approfondisce l'Antropocene. Jan Zalasiewicz è Professore di Paleobiologia all'Università di Leicester, Regno Unito. All'inizio della sua carriera è stato geologo sul campo e paleontologo presso il British Geological Survey, lavorando per decifrare gli strati dell'Inghilterra orientale e poi le montagne del Galles centrale. Ora insegna geologia e storia della Terra a studenti universitari e post-laurea e studia ecosistemi e ambienti fossili in oltre mezzo miliardo di anni di tempo geologico. Negli ultimi anni è stato coinvolto nello sviluppo di idee sull'Antropocene, il concetto secondo cui gli esseri umani ora guidano gran parte della geologia sulla superficie della Terra, e presiede il Gruppo di lavoro sull'Antropocene della Commissione Internazionale sulla Stratigrafia.

Descrizione di Il libro

The Anthropocene as a Geological Time Unit pdf da Jan Zalasiewicz

The Anthropocene, a term launched into public debate by Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen, has been used informally to describe the time period during which human actions have had a drastic effect on the Earth and its ecosystems. This book presents evidence for defining the Anthropocene as a geological epoch, written by the high-profile international team analysing its potential addition to the geological time scale. The evidence ranges from chemical signals arising from pollution, to landscape changes associated with urbanisation, and biological changes associated with species invasion and extinctions. Global environmental change is placed within the context of planetary processes and deep geological time, allowing the reader to appreciate the scale of human-driven change and compare the global transition taking place today with major transitions in Earth history. This is an authoritative review of the Anthropocene for graduate students and academic researchers across scientific, social science and humanities disciplines.
