چکیده
This article considers the Western civilisational ethos of human person as an mastery with respect to natural world. The age climate disaster has begun turn this into object for thought, is evidenced by increasing number eco-poetic and eco-philosophical writings reflections that seek re-think or un-think prevailing construals human. My own entry point conversation through Afro-diasporic knowledge systems evidence being not rooted in paradigm individual. I ask how such help us achieve a necessary thought revolution current dangers our technological civilisation (particularly capitalist extractivism). emphasise fact animist thinking have centuries, due violences modernity, existed parallel space time what call 'capitalist time' propose failures crises industrial/technological warrant renewed examinations their benefits living practices.

The Anthropocene: a new epoch of geological time?
Anthropogenic changes to the Earth's climate, land, oceans and biosphere are now so great and so rapid that the concept of a new geological epoch defined by the action of humans, the Anthropocene, is widely and seriously debated. Questions of the scale, magnitude and significance of this environmental change, particularly in the context of the Earth's geological history, provide the basis for t...
متن کاملPervasive white and colored noise removing from magnetotelluric time series
Magnetotellurics is an exploration method which is based on measurement of natural electric and magnetic fields of the Earth and is increasingly used in geological applications, petroleum industry, geothermal sources detection and crust and lithosphere studies. In this work, discrete wavelet transform of magnetotelluric signals was performed. Discrete wavelet transform decomposes signals into c...
متن کاملSediment flux and the Anthropocene.
Data and computer simulations are reviewed to help better define the timing and magnitude of human influence on sediment flux--the Anthropocene epoch. Impacts on the Earth surface processes are not spatially or temporally homogeneous. Human influences on this sediment flux have a secondary effect on floodplain and delta-plain functions and sediment dispersal into the coastal ocean. Human impact...
متن کاملIce Sheets and the Anthropocene
Ice could play a role in identifying and defining the Anthropocene. The recurrence of northern hemisphere glaciation and the stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet are both potentially vulnerable to human impact on the environment. However, only a very long hiatus in either would be unusual in the context of the Quaternary Period, requiring the definition of a geological boundary. Human influence...
متن کاملGeobiology of the Anthropocene
Homo sapiens first appeared on the Earth somewhere in Africa roughly 200 000 years ago. It happened with little fanfare; few could have imagined that this new species of primate would someday disrupt the Earth system to the point of defining a new geologic epoch around its legacy. Indeed, the first 150 000 years of the natural history of our species, mostly in Africa, were fairly uneventful for...
