The Anthropocene concept developed in the Earth System science community is closely consistent with its proposed chronostratigraphic (geological) definition. • A wide range of other meanings of the Anthropocene subsequently emerged that represent inherently valid, but partly different, concepts. • Cross-disciplinary discussion is encouraged to help resolve issues of meaning and communication in this important area.
