Smoke radiocarbon measurements from Indonesian fires provide evidence for burning of millennia-aged peat
In response to a strong El Niño, fires in Indonesia during September and October 2015 released a large amount of carbon dioxide and created a massive regional smoke cloud that severely degraded air quality in many urban centers across Southeast Asia. Although several lines of evidence indicate that...
