    1. we used a number of different proxies at 12 different sites, and they all recorded very clearly the effects of the great acceleration. And with that midpoint of about 1952.9 years, it all makes perfect sense. So it's not just the site at Crawford Lake, but all of the sites that we looked at showed a very very similar signal.

      for - definition - anthropocene - synchronized signals of great acceleration at all 12 sites, not just Crawford Lake - Francine McCarthy, Brock University

    1. one thing we have noticed with these stresses is that uh from most of them we see these three 00:11:11 phenomena the stresses are amplifying accelerating and synchronizing uh simultaneously
