A meeting sponsored by the BGS, hosted by the Geological Society of London, Burlington House, London, on 11 May 2011.
The concept of the Anthropocene represents one of the most democratic and bottom-up organising principles that Earth science has ever seen. The term is already embedded in the language of scientists, socio-economists, politicians, and the media. This meeting will bring together the range of disciplines and realms to discuss and debate the evidence for the Anthropocene.
The speakers include Nobel laureate, Professor Paul Crutzen (who first proposed the term) Andrew Revkin (author of the dot.earth blog, featured in the New York Times), Dennis Dimick (editor of the National Geographic) and many others.

Registration is FREE for students, £45 for Fellows of the Geological Society, £90 for non-Fellows, and £25 for retirees.
