16th Century burning decline in the Americas: Population collapse or climate change? (Power et al. 2012)

By admin November 16, 2012Analyses, GCD v3

During the Holocene, the last 11,000 years, climate, vegetation, and likely, humans have been key controls to changing fire regimes in the Americas. A long-accepted paradigm is that of the 'noble…

Global biomass burning: a synthesis and review of Holocene paleofire records and their controls (Marlon et al. 2012)

By admin November 16, 2012Analyses, GCD v3No Comments

We synthesize existing sedimentary charcoal records to reconstruct Holocene fire history at regional, continental and global scales. The reconstructions are compared with the two potential controls of burning at these…

19-24 June 2012, Venice, Italy The Venice Paleofire Workshop focused on identifying research synergies among biomass burning records from ice cores and sedimentary records. Participants presented recent fire history research…

Late Quaternary fire regimes of Australasia (Mooney 2011)

By admin November 16, 2011Analyses, GCD v3

We have compiled 223 sedimentary charcoal records from Australasia in order to examine the temporal and spatial variability of fire regimes during the Late Quaternary. While some of these records…

Fire in the earth system (Harrison 2010)

By admin November 16, 2010Analyses, GCD v2

Fire is an important component of the Earth System that is tightly coupled with climate, vegetation, biogeochemical cycles, and human activities. Observations of how fire regimes change on seasonal to…

Fire regimes during the Last Glacial (Daniau 2010)

By admin November 16, 2010Analyses, GCD v2

Sedimentary charcoal records document changes in fire regime.We have identified 67 sites (30 sites with better than millennial resolution) which have records for some part of the Last Glacial to…

Wildfire responses to abrupt climate change in North America (Marlon 2009)

By admin November 16, 2009Analyses, GCD v1

It is widely accepted, based on data from the last few decades and on model simulations, that anthropogenic climate change will cause increased fire activity. However, less attention has been…
