Tropical glaciers are extremely sensitive to changes of climate variables. Their response to
climate change is complex and depends on multiple mechanisms affecting their mass and …

Emission factor is a relative measure and can be used to estimate emissions from multiple
sources of air pollution. For this reason, data from literature on particulate matter emission …

Satellite data provide the only viable means for extensive monitoring of remote and large
freshwater systems, such as the Amazon floodplain lakes. However, an accurate …

Understanding how chronic anthropogenic disturbances are distributed in space leads to
more effective conservation and management practices. This study provides a large‐scale …

Abstract Multiangle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) is a new Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) algorithm that combines time series …

Biomass burning in the Brazilian Amazon is modulated by climate factors, such as droughts,
and by human factors, such as deforestation, and land management activities. The increase …

Biomass burning emissions have a substantial impact on regional air quality and climate.
The region of Amazonia in South America has long been identified as one of the largest …

We assess the 40-year climatological clear-sky global direct radiative effect (DRE) of five
main aerosol types using the MERRA-2 reanalysis and a spectral radiative transfer model …

Smoke aerosols from biomass burning are an important component of the global aerosol
system. Analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) retrievals of aerosol …

The intercontinental transport of aerosols from the Sahara desert plays a significant role in
nutrient cycles in the Amazon rainforest, since it carries many types of minerals to these …
