Nicely timed image with all the #Anthropocene news this week. I think the lizard alien geologists here probably still debating if too soon to say this looks like an epoch.

One of the brightest and fun romps through Earth history ever! Really great to see this published on-line now.
Just out, our new science graphic novel. This time it is about time - so hard to grab, differentiate, tame. We show how scientists try to understand Earth history and Earth system processes through time, how the past, present and future interact and meet in the Anthropocene. 1/2

Geoscience is increasingly challenged on how it can best confront global challenges. In this @GeolSoc article, @Profiainstewart and @TheDroneLady discuss the 'Three Horizons' concept to explore how the future geoscientific mission might be re-imagined. https://t.co/TLf4e0yUdV
