Introduction by Martin J. Head, Jan Zalasiewicz

This public forum gives the audience a unique occasion to enter into dialogue with AWG and GSSP-researchers working on the stratigraphic Anthropocene and its broader concept. In the framework of a Q&A session, participants will have the opportunity to raise questions regarding the presentations of the previous two days, or more generally regarding the process of defining a GSSP as a boundary for a geological epoch. The forum will open with a brief summary of the previous two days and an introduction on the protocol for defining a GSSP. This introduction will be led by AWG members who also have a position in the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS), to which the AWG will submit their GSSP recommendation in December this year. Representatives of the twelve candidate-GSSP projects, alongside further AWG-members, will respond to questions from the audience.
