Foregrounding the importance of soil and more generally the surface of the Earth – what is now often called the critical zone (CZ) – remains very difficult as long as the usual planetary view, familiar since the scientific revolution, is maintained. In this joint effort coauthored by a landscape architect, a historian of science and a geochemist, we propose what is called in history of drawing an anamorphosis, that is, a distorsion of image made through an instrument or a change in perspective. Such anamorphosis allows us to shift from a planetary vision of sites located in the geographic grid, to a representation of events located in what we call a Gaia-graphic view. We claim that such a view is much better suited to situate the new actors of the Anthropocene because it brings pride of place to the CZ.

深入表面：Gaia图形关键区域中的练习

只要保持自科学革命以来熟悉的通常行星视图，就很难预测土壤以及更广泛的地球表面（现在通常称为临界区（CZ））的重要性。在景观设计师，科学史学家和地球化学家的共同努力下，我们提出了绘制变形图的历史，即通过仪器产生的图像变形或视角变化，这就是所谓的历史。这种变形使我们能够从位于地理网格中的站点的行星视觉转变为位于所谓的盖亚图形视图中的事件的表示。我们认为，这种观点更适合定位人类世界的新角色，因为它为CZ带来了应有的地位。
