Dr. Ramesh GlücklerNew preprint out! 🔥 Using combined paleo-ecological and modeling methods, we uncover regional Holocene <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfire</a> dynamics in eastern <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Siberia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siberia</a>. Notably, our findings suggest potential human impacts as early as 5000 years ago - contrasting a common view of historically unmanaged forests 🌲So far, any historical human impacts on fire regimes or traditional land use practices with relevance for wildfire were poorly acknowledged in international literature for eastern Siberia - despite clear indications from Indigenous communities, and former visitors leaving us with clear hints: For example, Georg W. Steller describes in the early 1700s his observation of common burning in forests near the Lena River. And in 1913, Fridtjof Nansen writes in his expedition notes about a long-standing habit of the Natives to burn old grasses near the Amur River. There is more to this 🔍According to our study, fuel availability seems to be a key factor here. We discuss by example of the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Sakha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sakha</a> how people may have reduced wildfire severity around their settlements since c. 800 years ago.Find the preprint here: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.14.643308" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.14.643308</a>Photo taken in <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Yakutia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yakutia</a>, August 2021.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/wildfirescience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wildfirescience</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/paleofire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@paleofire</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/ecology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ecology</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/paleofire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paleofire</a>

Dr. Ramesh GlücklerHow was past <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfire</a> activity in eastern <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Siberia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Siberia</a> and how did it relate to climate/vegetation/human activity? 🔥 Now out in E&G Quaternary Science Journal: a thesis abstract summarizing main findings from my dissertation.

"These attacks are exemplified by the recent illegal detention of activist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AndreiDanilov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AndreiDanilov</a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/S%C3%A1mi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sámi</a>) in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Murmansk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Murmansk</a> region. Danilov, Director of the Sámi Heritage and Development Foundation, was detained on August 29, 2021. Andrei Danilov was unlawfully detained by the police after, fearing for his safety, he refused to present his belongings for inspection without witnesses. He was detained for five days, charged with 'failure to comply with the lawful order of a police officer.'"Danilov’s arrest is just one of the latest incidents in a series of acts of harassment against Indigenous activists and rights defenders in Russia in recent years. Days before, another Indigenous rights defender <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StepanPetrov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StepanPetrov</a> was declared a 'foreign media acting as a foreign agent' in the Republic of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sakha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sakha</a> on August 20, 2021. The 2012 Russian law on foreign agents, originally created to restrict international funding to Russian NGOs, is now being used to target individuals. Stepan Petrov (Sakha) is the first Indigenous person in Russia to receive the 'foreign agent' label. Petrov chairs the nonprofit group <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Yakutia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yakutia</a> – Our Opinion, which is well-known in the region of the Republic of Sakha for their human rights work. The activist submitted numerous appeals to the United Nations calling on the Russian government to adopt the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UNDRIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UNDRIP</a>) and to support civil society in Russia."Read more: <a href="https://www.culturalsurvival.org/news/indigenous-leaders-speak-out-about-criminalization-and-silencing-putin-administration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.culturalsurvival.org/news/indigenous-leaders-speak-out-about-criminalization-and-silencing-putin-administration</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Putin</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeoples</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Persecution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Persecution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepublicOfSakha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepublicOfSakha</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oppression</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SamiPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SamiPeoples</a>
