Presentation Summary

Recent evidence suggests that we are entering the Anthropocene (human activity is the dominant influence on our climate and our environment) epoch. Looking at our Earth’s history can help us understand how our Earth has changed, and how humans are changing our Earth’s systems. However, the Anthropocene  epoch and its start date are contested, and more we need more work and discussion before we can confirm this theory.
