The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch that reflects the significant and lasting impact of human activities on the Earth's ecosystems and geology. It is argued that human activities, such as industrialization, urbanization, and agriculture, have caused drastic and irreversible changes to the planet's climate, biodiversity, and geological features. The concept of the Anthropocene highlights the role of humans as a geological force and emphasizes the need for more sustainable and responsible interactions with the environment. Researchers in this field study the various ways in which human activities have shaped the Earth and explore potential solutions to address the challenges posed by the Anthropocene.
