Geologists choose a global location to be the defining example of what a change in epochs looks like in the Earth’s layers, then use a Golden Spike to mark it. Soon after the nuclear layer, fossil fuel residue really began to pile on. “Until they tested the first bomb in the New Mexico desert in 1945, those chemicals, those particular radionuclides, did not naturally occur on our planet,” said McCarthy. They think they’ve found it: the nuclear age in the mid-20th century, when the fallout from bomb tests and wartime detonations created a unique, traceable layer of radioactive particles that fell on every surface of the Earth. They’re looking for something that pinpoints just when human activity began to make a big enough impact on the planet that it became visible in all of the Earth’s formations at the same time, whether coral reefs, ice sheets or freshwater lake sediment. The small, deep water body is now one of 12 global sites geologists are studying for a shared marker. McCarthy has long studied Crawford Lake in Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment, beneath which the Earth’s strata, or layers, are “exquisitely preserved.” In 2018, she joined the commission’s Anthropocene Working Group, named after its efforts to consider how humans have altered the planet. With non-geologists insisting that the Anthropocene is a thing, the International Commission on Stratigraphy has decided to impose some rigour on the discussion, and figure out if and when the new, human-driven epoch actually began. “Geologists, when they have intervals of geologic time, they’re pretty fussy about it meaning the same thing to everyone,” said Francine McCarthy, a professor of earth sciences at Brock University. But for geologists, a word ending in “ocene” isn’t scientific-ish, but actual science: it defines an epoch, a period of time so different from the preceding one that it’s clearly visible in the Earth’s layers, or strata, no matter where you are on the planet. Counter-based experience a plus.In art and activism, the word “Anthropocene” refers to the era that we’re living through now, one so clearly defined by human-caused climate change that it deserves a big, scientific-sounding name.
