Accelerating Climate Action: A just transition in a post-Covid era. Book of abstracts, 9th SISC Annual Conference (online, 22-24 Set 2021)
Extended and intense biomass burning fires occurred in Northern Canada and on the Greenlandic West coast during summer 2017. The smoke plume emitted into the atmosphere was transported and spread in the Arctic, producing one of the most significant impacts ever observed in the region. Evidence of Ca...

Extended and intense biomass burning fires occurred in Northern Canada and on the Greenlandic West coast during summer 2017.
