Mark Williams

Mark Williams (UK) is Professor of Geology at Leicester University. The Anthropocene is one of his primary research themes. Williams is particularly interested in the co-evolution of life and planet Earth, and how the biosphere is now fundamentally changing as a result of human activity. Williams is co-author of two recent popular science books that examine the evolution of the Earth’s climate over 4 billion years (The Goldilocks Planet, 2012), and the evolution of oceans on Earth and other planets (Ocean Worlds, 2014).
