国际地层学委员会（ICS）应认真考虑将“人类世”作为国际年代地层图/地质时标的一个单位的建议。ICS第四纪地层小组委员会内的“人类世”工作组负责提出一项建议，供ICS组织高层评估和审议批准。它必须考虑单位的等级和范围，以及定义其下限或起点的GSSP或GSSA。此外，工作组必须解决几个问题，有关拟议的单位和ICS图表/时标的性质是独特的。“人类世”是一个概念，在寻找一个独特的地层记录？它应该根据地层学的信号还是人类历史上的某个日期来定义？“人类世”是地球历史或人类历史的一个单位，还是主要是一个未来的预测？“人类世”作为地质图上的年代地层单位有用吗？人类主导的地球系统的变化是否压倒了自然地球系统？国际年代地层图/地质时标的概念基础是什么？“人类世”这个术语即使没有被批准为一个正式的单位，也会有价值吗？
Abstract The proposal that the ‘Anthropocene’ should be ratified as a unit of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart/Geological Time Scale deserves serious consideration by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS). The ‘Anthropocene’ task group within the ICS Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy is responsible for producing a recommendation to be evaluated and considered for approval at high levels in the ICS organization. It must consider the rank and extent of the unit as well as a GSSP or GSSA that defines its lower boundary or beginning. Furthermore, the task group must address several questions related to the proposed unit and the nature of the ICS chart/timescale that are unique to it. Is the ‘Anthropocene’ a concept in search of a distinct stratigraphic record? Should it be defined on a stratigraphic signal or on a date in human history? Is the ‘Anthropocene’ a unit of Earth history or human history or primarily a future projection? Is the ‘Anthropocene’ useful as a chronostratigraphic unit on geological maps? Has the perceived change to a human-dominated Earth system overwhelmed the natural Earth system? What is the conceptual basis of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart/Geologic Time Scale? Will the term ‘Anthropocene’ have value even if not ratified as a formal unit?
