Ice-Core Reconstructions of Biomass Burning, Pollution, and Paleoclimate

Ice cores provide the most direct records of past atmospheric composition and environmental change. Detailed, high-resolution chemical measurements from ice cores are used to underpin model simulations, understand human impacts on the environment, and reconstruct climate variability over past centuries to millennia.
