Surviving Ourselves â€' Making the Most of Earth’s ‘Anthropocene’ Age of Humans

Andrew Revkin is a leading environmental journalist, author and educator who has spent more than 30 years covering global change, from the North Pole to the White House to the Amazon, mainly for The New York Times. As Pace University’s Senior Fellow for Environmental Understanding since 2010, he has developed or co-developed innovative courses in blogging, environmental communication and documentary film. He began writing on global warming science and solutions in the 1980s and, in his first climate book, in 1992, he mused that “earth scientists of the future” would recognize that humans were creating a “post-Holocene…geological age of our own making.” It took just a decade for that prediction to come to pass, when leading scientists proposed that an Anthropocene epoch had begun.
