"Overfishing or Over Reacting? Management of Fisheries in the Pantanal Wetland, Brazil"

The author explores the governance challenges that practitioners face when restoring forest landscapes, and the points of intersection between forest landscape restoration and governance.
"Confessing Anthropocene"
Stefan Skrimshire considers the ethical question of how to communicate with future human societies in terms of long-term disposal of radioactive fuel. He proposes that the confessional form (as propagated by Saint Augustine and critiqued by Derrida) may become increasingly pertinent to activists, artists, and faith communities making sense of humanity’s ethical commitments in deep time.
"Hounded Out of Time: Black Shuck’s Lesson in the Anthropocene"
Jonathan Woolley borrows the folkloristic, East Anglia figure of Black Shuck, a devilish hound, and connects it to a narrative of the Anthropocene based on the notions of inescapable mortality, deep time, and responsibility.
"Speculative Volcanology: Time, Becoming, and Violence in Encounters with Magma"
The authors put forward the idea of “speculative geology” to explain the violence inherent in volcanism, drawing on three volcanic episodes and the more recent unexpected striking of magma in Iceland’s Krafla volcanic caldera.
"Art, Trees, and the Enchantment of the Anthropocene: Caroline Wendling’s White Wood"
Considering Caroline Wendling’s living artwork White Wood (2014) in northeast Scotland, the author examines the relationship between deep time, ecology, and enchantment.
"Deep Time and Disaster: Black Saturday and the Forgotten Past"
Christine Hansen uses the concept of deep time to challenge the idea that never-before-witnessed events are unprecedented. Using the case of a massive firestorm in 2009 in southeast Australia, she calls into question the shallow temporal frames through which deep time environmental phenomena are understood in Australian settler culture and offers an insight into often unnoticed ways in which contemporary society struggles with the colonial legacy.
