摘要

目前关于 "人类世 "的地位和特征的争论集中在是否应将这一地质时间间隔指定为《国际年 代地层图/地质年代表》中的一个正式的纪元/系列等级单位,还是将其视为一个非正式的 "事 件 "更为合适,其重要性可与更深地质年代的其他重大变革事件相媲美。第四纪地层学小组委员会人类世工作组正在研究将人类世正式确定为一个年代地层单位,其基点约为公元 1950 年。在此,我们将概述另一种立场,并解释为什么人类对全球环境系统的影响具有时间上的跨越性,这反映在最近的地层记录中,这意味着人类世最好不要被视为一个具有固定下限的系列/时序,而应被视为一个正在展开、转变和加剧的地质事件。

The Anthropocene is best understood as an ongoing, intensifying, diachronous event

Current debate on the status and character of the Anthropocene is focussed on whether this interval of geological time should be designated as a formal unit of epoch/series rank in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart/Geological Time Scale, or whether it is more appropriate for it to be considered as an informal ‘event’ comparable in significance with other major transformative events in deeper geological time. The case for formalizing the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphical unit with a base at approximately 1950 CE is being developed by the Anthropocene Working Group of the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy. Here we outline the alternative position and explain why the time-transgressive nature of human impact on global environmental systems that is reflected in the recent stratigraphical record means that the Anthropocene is better seen not as a series/epoch with a fixed lower boundary, but rather as an unfolding, transforming and intensifying geological event.

期刊介绍: Boreas has been published since 1972. Articles of wide international interest from all branches of Quaternary research are published. Biological as well as non-biological aspects of the Quaternary environment, in both glaciated and non-glaciated areas, are dealt with: Climate, shore displacement, glacial features, landforms, sediments, organisms and their habitat, and stratigraphical and chronological relationships. Anticipated international interest, at least within a continent or a considerable part of it, is a main criterion for the acceptance of papers. Besides articles, short items like discussion contributions and book reviews are published.
