Dr Catherine Russell is a researcher on the impacts of human activities on Earth's surface processes, with a specialization in river systems. She is dedicated to establishing Anthropocene Sedimentology as a recognized sub-discipline within geoscience. In 2024, she taught the first course on Anthropocene Sedimentology at the University of Vienna. She completed a Fulbright-Lloyd's of London Visiting Scholarship in Louisiana from 2022-2023, and was awarded the Roland Goldring Award in 2023 by the British Sedimentary Research Group for making a noteworthy contribution to sedimentology.

A Multidisciplinary Team in a Changing World
The Anthropocene Sediment Network connects a multidisciplinary community focused on research and education. We seek to understand how human-made and natural sediments are sourced, transported, distributed, and redistributed, as well as their final destinations. By "sediment," we refer to anything that can move on Earth, from sand on a beach to the device you are reading this on. Our network encourages collaboration and dialogue, promoting advances in research across disciplines to tackle the unique dynamics of our changing planet.
We are supported by UNESCO IGCP 732 “LANGUAGE of the Anthropocene” (Lessons in anthropogenic impact: a knowledge network of geological signals to unite and assess global evidence of the Anthropocene), which will lead the development of the multidisciplinary network through exploring the global scale evidence of the Anthropocene.
