Anthropocene Sediment Network

Empowering community-driven solutions on a changing planet

By “sediment,” we refer to anything that can move on Earth, from sand on a beach to the device you are reading this on. Our network encourages collaboration and dialogue, promoting advances in research across disciplines to tackle the unique dynamics of our changing planet.
