PAGES-related session
General theme, 6.8: Anthropocene sedimentary systems
Conveners: Jean-Philippe Jenny, Achim Brauer, Blas Valero Garcés & Irene Gregory Eaves
This session invites contributions on the transformation of sediment systems during the Anthropocene and on the general topics related to the analysis of anthropogenic signatures in the sediment records. More specifically, the theme aims to attract studies contributing to the description of the timing, amplitude and spatial extend of the human impacts on the environment and how they may compromise ecosystems. We welcome contributions that discuss the impacts of changes in land cover/uses, hydrological pathways, dam settlements, and use well-established or innovative proxies of human impacts such as DNA. Large-scale syntheses are also warmly welcome.
