The impact of man on the geology and eco systems of earth is undeniable: Already since the dawn of agriculture and humanity’s sedentism we have left lasting traces, and these have become more and more formative and enduring through monumental events in the 20th century, such as the testing and use of atomic bombs. These influences don’t always take place on solid ground – the effects can also be witnessed dramatically on and under water.
