DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2017.01.008
Abstract: While there is vigorous debate on whether the Anthropocene epoch began in 1800, as originally proposed, less attention has been paid to the transition from Stage 2 of the existing three stage chronology, in which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2016.12.017
Abstract: Abstract The Early Bajocian witnessed a global environmental perturbation, characterized by faunal and floral turnovers and a positive carbon isotope excursion. In Italy, this environmental perturbation coincided with an eutrophication event and a carbonate crisis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2019.115358
Abstract: Microplastics can be found all over the world, in the remotest regions and even in the Arctic snow. Primary microplastic is either produced as microparticles or enters the natural environment already as microparticles. Whereas secondary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14626
Abstract: Although only representing 0.05% of global freshwater, or 0.001% of all global water, soil water supports all terrestrial biological life. Soil moisture behaviour in most models is constrained by hydraulic parameters that do not change.… read more here.
