“…This is particularly true as anthropogenic stressors have generally broadened from local to regional and global spatial scales through time. The resulting environmental changes are expected to increase as the climate continues to warm and a growing global population requires more freshwater resources to sustain itself (Arnell, 1999; Sahoo et al, 2020; Vörösmarty et al, 2000). Considering these growing pressures, highly resolved and nuanced understanding of past freshwater system responses to anthropogenic impacts are required to better prepare for future management and conservation challenges.…”

Diatom and chrysophyte assemblages from varved sediments of meromictic Crawford Lake, Ontario record major environmental changes resulting from spatially broadening anthropogenic environmental stressors related to the “Great Acceleration” in the mid-20th century. Biannual assessment of diatom and chrysophyte assemblages over the last ~200 years allowed for rate of change analysis between adjacent samples that increased substantially during the mid-20th century, concurrent with significant generalized additive model trends. Changes in diatom and chrysophyte assemblages were likely driven by multiple anthropogenic stressors including local forestry harvesting, agriculture, and milling activities, acidic deposition from regional industrial processes, and anthropogenic climate warming. Novel siliceous algal assemblages now exist in Crawford Lake, likely related to the complexities of the above mentioned local and regional stressors. The major assemblage changes at the proposed base of the Anthropocene Epoch detected in this study support the laminated sequence from Crawford Lake as a strong potential candidate for the Anthropocene GSSP.

“…This may include surveys of expert opinion, particularly of key issues, and public opinion, particularly of water users. If data is sufficiently reliable and complete, this may allow some modeling and simulations of water flow and quality (Tidwell et al 2004;Yates et al 2005a, b;Sahoo et al 2020). The identification of a tendential scenario, as well as two to four alternative scenarios, may then help to deal with uncertainty (Fernandez et al 2014;Snover et al 2003;Straton et al 2011).…”
