Today’s sediment doesn’t just route through natural systems, but also engineered channels, infrastructures, economies, and legislation. We have entangled the physical matter of the Anthropocene with social, political, and novel ecological forces, shaping new patterns of erosion, transport, deposition, and legacy.

The Anthropocene Sediment Network (ASN) exists to explore this expanded understanding of sediment. Founded to support open, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary exchange, the ASN is a space for anyone working with materials and processes that are human made or impacted. If you are modelling particle flows, urban flows, designing restoration systems, or reimagining the sedimentary archive in any way, the ASN is for you.
