Sediment connects all of us 🌍

The ASN brings together perspectives from the physical and humanities disciplines to develop educational material and #research solutions to understand the dynamic life of #anthropogenic #sediment.

Glass beads were a luxury product in Bronze Age central Europe. These 3,000 year-old beads were found in the pile-dwelling settlements of Sipplingen and Hagnau-Burg at Lake Constance. They were probably made in the Alpine foothills from raw glass imported from Italy.

Bottom trawling devours vast numbers of sea creatures, many not killed for food but as bycatch. At the same time it scours the seabed, destroying the habitat young sea life needs to grow - leading to generational decline in population & biodiversity.

Beaver reintroduction is such a powerful reminder of how deeply entangled human and natural agency has become in the #Anthropocene.

How will decisions like this be archived by Earth? Will we be able to tell the difference between the signals of humans, paws, and policies? 🦫🌍

Do you give a damn about beavers? Then don't iGNAW this thread! Nature's engineers, beavers were hunted to extinction in the UK, but a landmark decision to allow their #reintroduction has paved the way for their return! But how will this work? A thread 🌍🧪🧵🦫 (1/4)

✨Wow✨ This article is peaceful, immersive, and deeply reflective about our changing landscape.

It challenges our self-centric view of time and future uncertainty, inviting us to step back and consider what it means to live within Earth’s ongoing story🌍

The piece is also beautifully read as audio🎧
