Announcing this years postgraduate conference held in Durham on the 7-8th of September! This is a great opportunity to showcase your research in a friendly environment, and get to know other Quaternary ECRs! https://t.co/q5SWK4uX8e

[QRA @QuaternaryRA_UK]

All of these debates are very interesting, and are critical in the run up to upcoming decisions about the Anthropocene by the International Commission on Stratigraphy! Make sure you give them all a read 📖

[QRA @QuaternaryRA_UK]

The next two items debate different, but related topics about whether the Anthropocene should be made by scientists alone, or embrace a much wider field of academic disciplines such as History and Archeology.

[QRA @QuaternaryRA_UK]

🚨New discussions on the Anthropocene are now live in the latest issue of the Journal of Quaternary Science 🚨 The first four articles discuss the nature and status of the Anthropocene - all free to access here https://t.co/MXDOZwyruo
