Biomass burning (BB) is a major source of air pollution from local to global scale, having
variable effects on air quality, human health, and climate system. Therefore, the source …

Fires have influenced atmospheric composition and climate since the rise of vascular plants,
and satellite data have shown the overall global extent of fires. Our knowledge of historic fire …

Here, we review different attempts made since the early 1990s to reconstruct past forest fire
activity using chemical signals recorded in ice cores extracted from the Greenland ice sheet …

A measurement campaign was performed between 04/03/2013 and 17/07/2013 for
simultaneous collection of PM 2.5 samples in two nearby sites in southeastern Italy: an …

We review palaeoenvironmental proxies and combinations of these relevant for
understanding hunter-gatherer niche construction activities in pre-agricultural Europe. Our …

Biomass burning is a major source of greenhouse gases and influences regional to global
climate. Pre-industrial fire-history records from black carbon, charcoal and other proxies …

Abstract The Younger Dryas boundary (YDB) cosmic-impact hypothesis is based on
considerable evidence that Earth collided with fragments of a disintegrating≥ 100-km …

Part 1 of this study investigated evidence of biomass burning in global ice records, and here
we continue to test the hypothesis that an impact event at the Younger Dryas boundary …

Biomass burning is one of the most important sources of organic matter in the atmosphere
as it affects the absorption and scattering of solar radiation, creates cloud condensation …

We successfully detected biomass burning tracers including levoglucosan and vanillic, p-
hydroxybenzoic and dehydroabietic acids in an ice core (153m long, ca. 300years old) taken …
