Human impact
Stratigraphical Significance
Insignificant
Agriculture
Fertilizer and runoff contaminating the environment
lack of plant diversity
Urbanization
Prone to erosion -> easily washed away with time
Built from unnatural, man-made materials -> change sediment
Does not seem like a long-term threat
Noticeable
Carbon Emissions
Global warming
Melting ice can cause sea levels to rise
Ocean acidification
Cause reef gaps, another sign of mass extinction
Deforestation
Loss of habitat
Foundation of many ecosystems
Cause mass extinctions at rates hundreds of times than in the past
Erosion
New sedimentation profile
Tree roots no longer hold soil in place -> dirt comes loose
Effects comparable to an asteroid strike
problems
pollution
rising temperaatures
what this means
could be entering new epoch
started during 18th century
next few decades could be even more stratigraphically significant
should take action now
observe and pay attention to our actions
sustainable architecture
solutions
economics
society
