Description

Radio interview and podcast episode with BFM 89.9, Malaysia: https://www.bfm.my/podcast/bigger-picture/earth-matters/anthropocene-martin-mahony 

The ‘Anthropocene’ or the ‘age of humans’ is one which is defined by massive human impacts on the natural environment, to a point where that impact is actually visible in the geological record. The opinions that cluster around the term " Anthropocene" vary greatly and have resulted in arguments both in favour and against the adoption of this concept.

We find out more about the great Anthropocene debate from Dr Martin Mahony, whose own research concerns the intersections of environment, science and society.
