New preprint out! 🔥 Using combined paleo-ecological and modeling methods, we uncover regional Holocene #wildfire dynamics in eastern #Siberia. 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 #Sakha how people may have reduced wildfire severity around their settlements since c. 800 years ago.

How was past #wildfire activity in eastern #Siberia 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. Big thanks to the German Quaternary Association (DEUQUA)!

From 2021: #Indigenous Leaders Speak Out About #Criminalization and #Silencing by #Putin Administration

"Indigenous organizations in Russia, allied organizations, and #CulturalSurvival have released an Open Letter to the Putin administration sounding an alarm about the growing intimidations and reprisals against #IndigenousActivists and rights defenders in Russia.

"These attacks are exemplified by the recent illegal detention of activist #AndreiDanilov (#Sámi) in the #Murmansk 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 #StepanPetrov was declared a 'foreign media acting as a foreign agent' in the Republic of #Sakha 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 #Yakutia – 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 (#UNDRIP) and to support civil society in Russia."

Putin's IBS

"World's second army" in all its glory. Rolling back to the times of the #Russian Empire - complete with cavalry and drafting representatives of national minorities as cannon fodder.

These soldiers are from the Republic of #Sakha, a region incredibly rich in natural resources. Yet, the indigenous people of #Sakha are fighting a war in #Ukraine on stolen horses, while #Moscow fills its coffers with proceeds from their diamonds, gold, gas, and oil.

«Все адвокаты, с которыми у политика Анатолия Ноговицына были предварительные договоренности, отказались представлять его интересы». ovd.info/express-news/2024/11/ ⦾ t.me/anatolynogovitsyn/1248 #Sakha #greatreaction #AnatolyNogovitsyn #rallies

ОВД-ИнфоВ Якутске главу местного «Яблока» задержали после митинга против отмены прямых выборов мэра | ОВД-ИнфоВ Якутске задержали организатора митинга против отмены прямых выборов мэра, председателя местного отделения «Яблока» Анатолия Ноговицына. Об этом он сообщил в своем телеграм-канале.Ноговицын написал, что на него собираются составить протокол по «митинговой» статье из-за того, что «якобы люди не имели право передвигаться по скверу Гагарина». Он также уточнил, что заявление написал мэр Якутска Евгений Григорьев.На митинг собрались около 30 человек. В ходе мероприятия они символически прошли по территории сквера и вернулись к стелле, у которой проходили выступления.18:08 Анатолий Ноговицын в своем телеграм-канале сообщил, что его отпустили из отдела полиции. Завтра утром он должен сам прийти в отдел, откуда его повезут в Якутский городской суд.По словам Ноговицына, ему вменяют статью о нарушении организатором правил проведения акции (ч. 1 ст. 20.2 КоАП).Политик рассказал, что в суде ему, вероятно, придется защищаться самостоятельно. Все адвокаты, с которым у него были предварительные договоренности, отказались представлять его интересы. Ноговицын попросил своих сторонников прийти в суд, чтобы поддержать его.В марте 2023 года Анатолия Ноговицына приговорили к штрафу 200 тысяч рублей по делу о повторной дискредитации армии (ч. 1 ст. 280.3 УК). Поводом для возбуждения дела против Ноговицына стало видеообращение по поводу мобилизации. «Я прошу задать себе вопрос: готовы ли вы отправить своих родных и близких на эту бойню, которая нужна лишь одному человеку?» — спрашивал Ноговицын в ролике.

It's done! 🎓
I've successfully completed my doctoral #defense in #Geoecology at the University of Potsdam and @awi!
I'm especially grateful for the warm support by my family, fantastic colleagues, and the Potsdam fire department! 🔥
Very excited to now dive even deeper into researching #wildfires in boreal forests!

#UnitedNations: #Russia's #AntiWar #Indigenous Denied Credentials, Their Voices Heard Anyway

Censored News, July 11, 2024

"The voices of Russia's anti-war #IndigenousActivists denied credentials were heard anyway at the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva.
Indigenous women denied credentials say Russia needs #mineral industries to wage its wars, and is asserting pressure at the United Nations."

Im Juni 2024 kehrten große #Waldbrände in den arktischen Kreis zurück. Besonders betroffen ist die #Sakha-Republik in #Russland, die bereits 2021 heftige Brände erlebte. Laut dem #Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (#CAMS) sind die #Kohlenstoffemissionen im Juni die dritthöchsten der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte. Höhere Temperaturen und trockene Bedingungen fördern die Brände.

New insights into eastern Siberian landscape development after the Last Glacial Maximum: @Iza_bai et al. with a new study (published today) of terrestrial and aquatic #vegetation and #lake ecology changes throughout the last ~18,000 years! 🌲🏞️

FrontiersLate Glacial and Holocene vegetation and lake changes in SW Yakutia, Siberia, inferred from sedaDNA, pollen, and XRF dataOnly a few palaeo-records extend beyond the Holocene in Yakutia, eastern Siberia, since most of the lakes in the region are of Holocene thermokarst origin. Thus, we have a poor understanding of the long-term interactions between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and their response to climate change. The Lake Khamra region in southwestern Yakutia is of particular interest because it is in the transition zones from discontinuous to sporadic permafrost and from summergreen to evergreen boreal forests. Our multiproxy study of Lake Khamra sediments reaching back to the Last Glacial Maximum 21 cal ka BP, includes analyses of organic carbon, nitrogen, XRF-derived elements, sedimentary ancient DNA amplicon sequencing of aquatic and terrestrial plants and diatoms, as well as classical counting of pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP). The palaeogenetic approach revealed 45 diatom, 191 terrestrial plant, and 65 aquatic macrophyte taxa. Pollen analyses identified 34 pollen taxa and 28 NPP taxa. The inferred terrestrial ecosystem of the Last Glacial comprises tundra vegetation dominated by forbs and grasses, likely inhabited by megaherbivores. By 18.4 cal ka BP a lake had developed with a high abundance of macrophytes and dominant fragilarioid diatoms, while shrubs expanded around the lake. In the Bølling-Allerød at 14.7 cal ka BP both the terrestrial and aquatic systems reflect climate amelioration, alongside lake water-level rise and woodland establishment, which was curbed by t...
