Detailed Description
Greenland ice core records fire activity over thousands of years. Levoglucosan concentrations indicate peak biomass burning occurring ~2500 years before present where this increased combustion occurs separately from associated climate variables such as temperature (see Zennaro and others, GRL, 2015 for full details.
