Geology.

A. n.

Chiefly with the. The epoch of geological time during which human activity is considered to be the dominant influence on the environment, climate, and ecology of the earth, a formal chrono-stratigraphic unit with a base which has been tentatively defined as the mid-twentieth century.The Anthropocene is commonly taken to extend from the time of the Industrial Revolution to the present, but is sometimes considered to include much or all of the Holocene.

2000 P. J. Crutzen & E. F. Stoermer in Global Change News Let. May 17/3 It seems to us more than appropriate to emphasize the central role of mankind in geology and ecology by proposing to use the term ‘anthropocene’ for the current geological epoch.

2002 Nature 3 Jan. 23/3 A daunting task lies ahead for scientists and engineers to guide society towards environmentally sustainable management during the era of the Anthropocene.

2011 Guardian 4 June 22/4 Some members are very cautious, and they that think it's premature to define the Anthropocene, because the Holocene has only been around for a short period in geological terms.

B. adj.

Designating this epoch; of, relating to, or occurring during this epoch.

2000 Science 13 Oct. 295/1 As we rapidly enter a new Earth system domain, the ‘Anthropocene’ Era, the debate about distinguishing human effects from natural variability will inevitably abate in the face of increased understanding of climate and biogeochemical cycles.

2008 N.Y. Times (National ed.) 29 Jan. c2/5 Some scientists are arguing that the planet has moved beyond the Holocene, which began with the end of the last ice age. Are we in the Anthropocene epoch?

2013 M. Christensen et al. Media & Politics Climate Change iv. 71 The master narrative is now that humanity (or rather its energy-intensive share of several billion people) has caused a melting trend of Arctic sea ice and thus broken a long Holocene stability..with an Anthropocene disruption.
