Eugene F. Stoermer

Eugene F. Stoermer was an influential scientist known for his work in environmental chemistry and limnology, the study of inland waters. He contributed significantly to understanding how human activities affect ecosystems, particularly in freshwater environments. Stoermer's research also emphasized the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem health. He is perhaps best known for his role in popularizing the term "Anthropocene," which describes the current geological epoch characterized by human impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems. His work has highlighted the urgent need for sustainable practices to protect our natural resources.
