Observed Impacts of Anthropogenic Climate Change on Wildfire in California

Earth's Future, 2019
Recent fire seasons have fueled intense speculation regarding the effect of anthropogenic climate change on wildfire in western North America and especially in California. During 1972–2018, California experienced a fivefold increase in annual burned area,

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Charcoal evidence that rising atmospheric oxygen terminated Early Jurassic ocean anoxia

Nature Communications, 2017
Numerical models predict that during an oceanic anoxic event (OAE), increased organic carbon burial drives a rise in atmospheric oxygen leading to the event’s termination. Here, the authors present evidence suggesting that the Toarcian OAE was terminated
