- Abstract
The article discusses the advent of the Anthropocene epoch in Australasia. Topics include the International Commission of Stratigraphy's (ICS) plans to decide in 2016 whether the Holocene epoch has given way to the Anthropocene epoch and where the boundary between the two should be placed, the arrival of human beings in Australasia, and the expansion of human population after World War II.
