The Age of the Anthropocene - Living in a Human-dominated Environment

The second annual Crossing Boundaries panel focuses on the birth of new age, an age in which human activities have become the dominant force shaping our natural environment. Professors from engineering, law, history and the geosciences will discuss the idea of the Anthropocene, the significance of naming a new geologic age, what it means for our environmental policies and what demands this era will place on our water management systems in California.
