Geologists reject the Anthropocene as Earth’s new epoch — after 15 years of debate

But some are now challenging the vote, saying there were “procedural irregularities”.

Ouvrir une nouvelle époque géologique, c’est laisser des traces visibles dans les sols pour des millions d’années. Mais, tout comme l’histoire humaine, celle de la Terre ne s’enregistre pas n’importe où. Plongée avec la géologue Francine McCarthy dans la mémoire géologique et politique du lac Crawford, dans l'Ontario. 🕳️

A tiny lake just an hour’s drive from Toronto made headlines earlier this summer as the best place in the world to illustrate the dawn of a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene.

A small lake in Canada is key to understanding the dawn of the Anthropocene epoch. Crawford Lake, located near Toronto, has preserved layers of sediment that record the history of human activity on Earth. By analyzing these layers, researchers had confirmed that the Anthropocene began in 1950s, when hydrogen bomb tests left a global trace of radioactive fallout. #Anthropocene #CrawfordLake #History https://www.sciencealert.com/a-lake-in-canada-defines-the-moment-we-changed-earth-forever?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

A Lake in Canada Defines The Moment We Changed Earth Forever

Like the pages of a diary hidden beneath a child's bed, the floor of Crawford Lake in Ontario, Canada, preserves Earth's most recent memories in clear, chronological order.

The new epoch has to start somewhere, and the point at which we coated the entire planet with plutonium works as well as anything else.

Crawford Lake, Ontario, Chosen to Represent the Beginning of the Anthropocene

I’ll admit it – I don’t know a whole lot about geology. I think I did take a 101 class in college, but I don’t remember a whole lot from that. As I understand it, geological…

On Crawford Lake and ‘Peak Humanity’ | The Tyee

Tracing the dawn of the Anthropocene shows us the extent to which humans have altered the planet. And the costs of our presence.

This quiet lake could mark the start of a new Anthropocene epoch
The dawn of a new geological epoch is recorded in the contaminated sediment at the bottom of Crawford Lake in Canada.
The official marker for the start of a new Anthropocene epoch should be a small Canadian lake whose sediments capture chemical traces of the fallout from nuclear bombs and other forms of environmental degradation.
