The final video ‘mini-lecture’ for my Sedimentology-Stratigraphy course includes some of my thoughts about how the ideas of the ‘Anthropocene’ intersect and connect with the concepts and skills associated with Sed-Strat. There was some broader interest in this so I decided to post the ~17-minute long video here for anyone to watch:

As I mention in the beginning, keep in mind a couple of things: (1) this is merely and entry point into these ideas, I provide some ideas for further reading and exploration at the end of the video, and (2) this was designed for juniors/seniors in our undergraduate (B.S. in Geosciences) program and in context of a particular course and not created with a broader audience in mind.

Technical note: The video that is embedded within our course management system includes close captioning, but I could not get that version to embed on this site. So, the video above does not have closed captioning, my apologies.
