The Anthropocene: the human epoch and how it shapes our planet + Q&A (Christian Schwägerl & Jan Zalasiewicz)

We live at a moment of deep change, between one geological time and another. We are moving from the Holocene to new era, the Anthropocene. Only recently we have come to understand that our actions have already altered this planet and that we now shape nature. Jan Zalasiewicz and Christian Schwägerl will come together to discuss the innovations, fears and promise of a pivotal moment in planetary history.
