• Consistent histories of anthropogenic western European air pollution preserved in different Alpine ice cores 

      Eichler, Anja; Legrand, Michel; Jenk, Theo M.; Preunkert, Susanne; Andersson, Camilla; Eckhardt, Sabine; Engardt, Magnuz; Plach, Andreas; Schwikowski, Margit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Individual high-Alpine ice cores have been proven to contain a well-preserved history of past anthropogenic air pollution in western Europe. The question of how representative one ice core is with respect to the reconstruction ...
    • Revised historical Northern Hemisphere black carbon emissions based on inverse modeling of ice core records 

      Eckhardt, Sabine; Pisso, Ignacio; Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Zwaaftink, Christine Groot; Plach, Andreas; McConnell, Joseph R.; Sigl, Michael; Ruppel, Meri; Zdanowicz, Christian; Lim, Saehee; Chellman, Nathan J; Opel, Thomas; Meyer, Hanno; Steffensen, Jørgen Peder; Schwikowski, Margit; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Black carbon emitted by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass has a net warming effect in the atmosphere and reduces the albedo when deposited on ice and snow; accurate knowledge of past emissions is essential ...
