Measurement Report: Changes in ammonia emissions since the 18th century in south-eastern Europe inferred from an Elbrus (Caucasus, Russia) ice-core record by M. Legrand, M. Legrand, M. Vorobyev, D. Bokuchava, S. Kutuzov, S. Kutuzov, A. Plach, A. Stohl, A. Khairedinova, V. Mikhalenko, M. Vinogradova, S. Eckhardt, S. Preunkert

“…Remaining moderate prior to 1950 CE, the increase then accelerated to reach a maximum in 1989 CE. Comparison between ice-core trends and estimated past emissions using state-of-the-art atmospheric transport modelling of submicron-scale aerosols (FLEXPART (FLEXible PARTicle dispersion) model) indicates good agreement with the course of estimated NH<span class="inline-formula">₃</span> emissions from south-eastern Europe since <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 1750 CE, with the main contributions from south European Russia, Türkiye, Georgia, and Ukraine. …”

Significant greening in the western Tibetan Plateau and surroundings occurred after the 1970s by Renhui Huang, Chunmei Ma, Wangbin Zhang, Xiaoqian Liu, Shuangye Wu, Hongxi Pang, Shugui Hou

“…Abstract Vegetation greening on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has profoundly changed the connection between terrestrial ecosystems and regional carbon, water, and energy cycling, but existing research on vegetation greenness can only be traced back to the 1980s, because of the scarcity of long-term remote sensing data. Here we present an ice-core record of pollen accumulation rates with a 3-year resolution during 1935–2012 AD for the western TP. …”

Revisiting the 10th‐Century Eldgjá Eruption: Modeling the Climatic and Environmental Impacts by Herman F. Fuglestvedt, Imogen Gabriel, Michael Sigl, Thorvaldur Thordarson, Kirstin Krüger

“…Combining volcanology and ice‐core analyses from both recent and earlier studies, we present a gas emissions scenario for the Eldgjá eruption spanning 937 to 940 CE, co‐injecting volcanic sulfur and halogens. …”

Past rapid warmings as a constraint on greenhouse-gas climate feedbacks by Mengmeng Liu, Iain Colin Prentice, Laurie Menviel, Sandy P. Harrison

“…Here we use these events to quantify the centennial-scale feedback strength of CO2, CH4 and N2O by relating global mean temperature changes, simulated by an appropriately forced low-resolution climate model, to the radiative forcing of these greenhouse gases derived from their concentration changes in ice-core records. We derive feedback estimates (95% CI) of 0.155 ± 0.035 W m−2 K−1 for CO2, 0.114 ± 0.013 W m−2 K−1 for CH4 and 0.106 ± 0.026 W m−2 K−1 for N2O. …”

Constraining sulphur yields of trachytic and phonolitic volcanic eruptions: Tambora, Vesuvius, Laacher See and Campi Flegrei by Scaillet, Bruno, Oppenheimer, Clive, Cioni, Raffaello, Scaillet, Stephane,  Moussallam, Yves, Prouteau, Gaelle, Andujar, Joan

“…Our findings demonstrate that alkali-rich magmas do not outstrip dacite or rhyolite arc compositions in respect of sulphur abundance and can inform both climate modelling efforts and the search for the eruptions’ signatures in ice core records.…”

Accumulation Studies at a High Elevation Glacier Site in Central Karakoram by Christoph Mayer, Astrid Lambrecht, Hans Oerter, Margit Schwikowski, Elisa Vuillermoz, Nicola Frank, Guglielmina Diolaiuti

“…The preservation of the layer structure and the clear seasonal signals in the snow pits indicate that locations above 5200 m in central Karakoram will be suitable places for retrieving longer climate records from ice cores.…”
