The session explores major gaps in current research on the Anthropocene and the potentials of a more explicit Integrative and Transformative Research on Earth and Societies.

The ongoing and rapid change of the Earth system is attributable primarily to pressures of society, thus being characteristic for the Anthropocene. In response, research activities in the earth, environmental and social sciences have expanded. However, the interplay of the multiple phenomena requires a deeper integration of the different research strands, combined with an additional focus on sustainability transformations. The session will explore major gaps in current research on the Anthropocene and the potentials of a more explicit Integrative and Transformative Research on Earth and Societies.

The session will be part of the Inter- and Transdisciplinary Sessions program group and within the Environment and Society in Geosciences section. Abstract submissions and more details can be found under the link: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/session/57473
