The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the global environmental crises we are facing in the Anthropocene, as well as exploring potential solutions. In the Anthropocene, which is the most recent geologic period, humans have exerted a dominant influence on the Earth's environment, leading to significant global changes. These changes are the result of a combination of natural events, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as human activities such as global warming, air pollution, and soil contamination. The author of this book documents a wide range of global changes, including climate change, and highlights the risks that humanity faces when these changes occur simultaneously.
Hans Nelson, the author, takes readers on a 60-year global journey through the eyes of an earth scientist. Throughout his memoirs, he shares humorous anecdotes from his scientific studies on land and at sea. He offers suggestions for a sustainable planet and demonstrates that humans have the ability to work together to address global change problems in the past and in the future.
This book is particularly useful for students who are interested in learning about the various aspects of global change and the methods used by marine geologists to gather data on geologic hazards, resources, and environmental changes. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field and serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge in this area.
