should researchers in science and technology studies understand the emergence and development of the idea of the anthropocene? Does it represent a new era in the history of the global environment, or is it a manifestation of the increasing engagement of geoscientists
with questions of environmental governance? Is the anthropocene the latest term in a long history of ideas about the impact of human activity on the Earth’s ecosystems, or should it be understood as a reflection of the accelerating impact of human activity
from the late-20<sup>th</sup> century onwards? In this paper I interrogate the political history of the anthropocene. I highlight, in particular, the relation between interest in the anthropocene and the growth of efforts to monitor, measure and mitigate environmental
impacts.</font></span></div>
