Field Guide to the Anthropocene
The Field Guide to the Anthropocene is a weekly essay or letter that explores the significant and often permanent transformations we are causing to our planet. The term "Anthropocene" refers to this new geological era marked by human impact on Earth. Just like a field guide helps you recognize different elements in nature, this guide serves as a resource for understanding the characteristics of the world we now live in and what we will leave for future generations.
