For the ICS, this would require a globally recognized and stratigraphically determined time interval, with an as-yet uncertain start date. Some scientists support this approach, while others feel it is overly formal and geologically based, and prefer to retain the term for informal reference. Thinking regionally, from the perspective of mountain region(s) in which you work, would you consider the idea of a stratigraphically defined Anthropocene to be relevant, or do you prefer informal use? In either case, when do you think that the Anthropocene started in your mountain region and why?

In the context of mountain ecosystems, climate change, and western North American resource-management and policy, what aspects of your (and/or your students and collaborators) research touch on actionable science? Or if you are a user of science information, what topics do you feel are most urgent for actionable science in our mountain context?

Can you describe the aspects that attracted you to work at a field station rather than elsewhere - and, in particular, the one(s) you use? As a researcher, what do you consider highest priority for field stations to offer? Are there things that are missing from field stations that you would like to see included? Anything else about your experiences at field stations that gives insight to their value?"

From recruitment to retention, mentoring to modeling, there exist persistent challenges as well as ample opportunities. Have you observed or personally encountered barriers or behaviors that demonstrate intentional or unconscious bias? What recommendations and actions can you suggest that could help realize a future for our community that is truly inclusive?
