The document discusses the Rivers of the Anthropocene project which examines how human activities have impacted river systems since 1750. Phase 1 focuses on the Ohio River and River Tyne. An international team of researchers from different disciplines will compare the ecological, social, and environmental histories of the rivers. In January 2014, the team will hold a conference to share findings and develop models to integrate scientific and humanities approaches to studying long-term human-river interactions. The project aims to further understanding of current environmental issues.

About the Rivers of the Anthropocene Project Rivers of the Anthropocene is an interdisciplinary, comparative research project examining international river systems during the age of the Anthropocene. The first phase of the project focuses on the Ohio River and the River Tyne since 1750. Approaching rivers and their landscapes not simply as natural phenomena but as human artifacts, a group of international researchers seeks to provide a rich comparative history of the interactions between humans and their river environments. By mapping the ecological, geographical, cultural, social, political, and scientific histories of river systems, this research project will provide insight on current issues of relevance to public policy, environmental conservation, and heritage management. www.rivers.iupui.edu

Rivers of the Anthropocene Project: Phase 1 Conference On January 23-25, 2014, we will hold an international and interdisciplinary three-day workshop / symposium in Indianapolis, IN. During Stage I, research will be focused on river systems in North America and Europe, with the Ohio River in the U.S. and the Tyne River in the UK as organizational centerpieces. The proximity of IUPUI to the Ohio and Newcastle University to the Tyne and the comparative similarities made these rivers logical choices as focal points. www.rivers.iupui.edu
Rivers of the Anthropocene Project: Phase 1 Conference Using two historically significant river systems, the Ohio and the Tyne, as case studies, the big questions the conference seeks to answer are primarily of two types conceptual and methodological: How do scholars from across the disciplines frame the problems of environmental change differently? In what ways does an international, comparative perspective alter their approach? How do scholars from across the disciplines create an Earth Systems Science model(s) that accounts for both emergent environmental patterns and the agency of human individuals and societies? In what ways do human systems have a palpable effect on earth systems, and what is the most useful way for humanists, social scientists, and scientists to address them? In what ways does an international, interdisciplinary, and collaborative approach to international river systems create new answers and provoke new problems for environmental scholarship? www.rivers.iupui.edu
Rivers of the Anthropocene Project: Phase 1 Goals During Phase 1, the researchers will focus on building a research model that integrates the theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches of disciplines and specialties from the sciences to the humanities. The group will meet in January 2014 for a 3-day symposium and workshop, the papers from which will be edited as part of an open access, peer reviewed volume. www.rivers.iupui.edu
