Growing scientific evidence from modern climate science is loaded with implications for the environmental history of Roman Empire and its successor societies. The written archaeological evidence, although richer than commonly realized, unevenly distributed over time space. A first synthesis what records multiple natural archives (multi-proxy data) indicate about change variability across western Eurasia c. 100 b.c. to 800 a.d. confirms that rose during a period stable favorable climatic...
Contrary to widespread assumptions, next-generation high (annual multiannual) and ultra-high (subannual) resolution analyses of an Alpine glacier reveal that true historical minimum natural levels lead in the atmosphere occurred only once last ~2000 years. During Black Death pandemic, demographic economic collapse interrupted metal production atmospheric dropped undetectable levels. This finding challenges current government industry understanding preindustrial pollution its potential...
Abstract Dust events originating from the Saharan desert have far‐reaching environmental impacts, but causal mechanism of magnitude and occurrence dust (SDEs) during preinstrumental era requires further research, particularly as a potential analog for future climate. Using an ultrahigh resolution glacio‐chemical record 2013 Colle Gnifetti ice core drilled in Swiss‐Italian Alps, we reconstructed 2000‐year‐long summer record. We analyzed both modern (1780–2006) premodern Common Era (CE) major...

Abstract The H1N1 “Spanish influenza” pandemic of 1918–1919 caused the highest known number deaths recorded for a single in human history. Several theories have been offered to explain virulence and spread disease, but environmental context remains underexamined. In this study, we present new record from European, Alpine ice core, showing significant climate anomaly that affected continent 1914 1919. Incessant torrential rain declining temperatures increased casualties battlefields World War...
Abstract Volcanic ash (tephra) provides unique time markers (isochrons) that are often used as an independent age‐control tool for stratigraphic correlations of paleoclimate archives from ice cores. However, little credence has been given to the notion finding tephra in cores collected European Alps because relatively large distance volcanic sources and presumed nature regional atmospheric circulation patterns. We filtered particles melted core drilling chips gathered roughly every meter...
Abstract Understanding the context from which evidence emerges is of paramount importance in reaching robust conclusions scientific inquiries. This as true present it past. In a trans‐disciplinary study such More et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017GH000064 ) and many others appearing this similar journals, proper analysis demands use historical evidence. includes demographic, epidemiological, socio‐economic data—common studies impact anthropogenic pollution on human health—and,...

S06: Lead's long-term legacy: what past exposures can tell us about future disease, Room 315, Floor 3, August 27, 2019, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Recent literature in public health and toxicology has shown that even extremely low-level exposure to pollutants such as lead (Pb) significantly increases mortality. Current government standards are often based on the assumption pre-industrial levels of pollution safe, merely because they occurred before onset widespread industrialization. As multiple...
