What is the Anthropocene? 

The Anthropocene is a recently proposed geological epoch to reflect the fact that human activities – be they scientific, industrial, or economic – have made a profound impact on the planet. The Anthropocene is not only a scientific concept but also a new worldview and paradigm for knowledge production, urging for an integrated approach to the phenomenon. ​ The Center for Anthropocene Studies was founded in the above background.

About the Center 

With the slogan “Human and Earth in the Anthropocene,” the Center aims to provoke a paradigm shift in academic research, public policy, and artistic creation. ​CAS is financially and institutionally supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
