The Holocene

Earth is currently passing through the Holocene epoch. The name is derived from the Greek words ὅλος (holos, whole or entire) and καινός(kainos, new) meaning "entirely recent."

Anyone can listen to and record the Holocene epoch. Participate in MoAG's Global Holocene Sound Map and upload your sounds to switchboard@museumofacousticgeology.org
