The trajectory of the Anthropocene: The Great Acceleration

Will Steffen, Wendy Broadgate, Lisa Deutsch et al. · 16 Jan 2015

The ‘Great Acceleration’ graphs, originally published in 2004 to show socio-economic and Earth System trends from 1750 to 2000, have now been updated to 2010. In the graphs of socio-economic trends, where the data permit, the activity of the wealthy (OECD) countries, those countries with emerging economies, and the rest of the world have now…

The geology of mankind? A critique of the Anthropocene narrative

Andreas Malm, Alf Hornborg · 7 Jan 2014

The Anthropocene narrative portrays humanity as a species ascending to power over the rest of the Earth System. In the crucial field of climate change, this entails the attribution of fossil fuel combustion to properties acquired during human evolution, notably the ability to manipulate fire. But the fossil economy was not created nor is it…

Scale and diversity of the physical technosphere: A geological perspective

Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams, Colin N. Waters et al. · 28 Nov 2016

We assess the scale and extent of the physical technosphere, defined here as the summed material output of the contemporary human enterprise. It includes active urban, agricultural and marine components, used to sustain energy and material flow for current human life, and a growing residue layer, currently only in small part recycled back into the…

Humans and technology in the Anthropocene: Six rules

P. K. Haff · 28 Apr 2014

Humans play an essential role in creating the technological systems of the Anthropocene, but, nonetheless, large-scale technology – the ‘technosphere’ – operates according to a quasi-autonomous dynamics, summarized by six rules: (1) the rule of inaccessibility, that large components of the technosphere cannot directly influence the behavior of their human parts; (2) the rule of…

The technofossil record of humans

Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams, Colin N. Waters et al. · 7 Jan 2014

As humans have colonised and modified the Earth’s surface, they have developed progressively more sophisticated tools and technologies. These underpin a new kind of stratigraphy, that we term technostratigraphy, marked by the geologically accelerated evolution and diversification of technofossils – the preservable material remains of the technosphere (Haff, 2013), driven by human purpose and transmitted…
