Reconstruction of Paleofire Emissions Over the Past Millennium From Measurements of Ice Core Acetylene

Abstract Acetylene is a short‐lived trace gas produced during combustion of fossil fuels, biomass, and biofuels. Biomass burning is likely the only major source of acetylene in the preindustrial atmosphere, making ice core acetylene a powerful tool for reconstructing paleofire emissions. Here we pre...
