Hi all,

I thought I'd pass on the announcement (below) for the Earth Science 
department's speaker this week-- as a coastal scientist, his work may be 
of interest to some of you!

Cheers,

Laura

The Department of Earth Science invites you to:

*Speaker’s Club Seminar*

*Creating the Geologic Record in the Anthropocene: *
*Investigations of Ocean and Terrestrial Changes *
*due Natural and Human-Induced Events *
*Preserved in Marine Sediments*

*Thursday Nov 5th, 2:00 PM in Webb 1100*

*Abstract:
*The Anthropocene has been proposed as a new geological epoch, founded 
in the idea humans now significantly influence many of Earth’s key 
processes, and thus can now be thought of agents of geological change.  
As a result, for the first time in Earth’s history the geologic record 
is going to reflect the interplay of both natural processes and human 
activities.  For shallow marine and coastal environments, those 
sediments may preserve changes within the ocean and proximal terrestrial 
systems.  This presentation will focus on recent research investigating 
how environmental changes resulting from natural processes and 
anthropogenic activity over relatively short geological time scales are 
reflected within the coastal sediment record.  Investigating these 
changes on decadal time scales or less will offer insights into the 
formation of the geologic record for the Anthropocene, and add to 
our predictive capabilities for future changes.
