- Abstract
- Anthropocene has come a long way since its inception. In 2011, two editors and a publisher affiliated with the Elsevier journal Earth-Science Reviews met over coffee at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis (USA). Inspired by the theme of the conference, “Archean to Anthropocene,” along with lively discussions surrounding the topic, the idea emerged to create a new journal titled Anthropocene. Recognizing the significance of human interactions with Earth systems throughout history and into the future, the Journal would serve to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas in addressing broadly the question of how the interacting Earth’s surface and societies will evolve in the “Anthropocene,”—one of the grand challenges of our time ( NRC, 2010).
