About this programme
The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch characterized by significant human impact on Earth’s geological record, typically considered to begin with the great acceleration of industrial production after WWII. The term is also less formally associated with human impact on the environment, including habitat and biodiversity loss, and climate change.

The Anthropocene microprogram will introduce students to the scientific evidence and discussions around the concept of the Anthropocene, the many examples of human impacts on the environment that inspired it, and its relevance for modern society. By combining studies in the natural sciences with studies in ethics, history, and policy, the program bridges the gaps between facts and values, theory and practice, and science and policy.
