Wildfire is an integral component of the Earth System, shaped by complex interactions among climate, vegetation, and human activity. In light of intensifying climate change and recent wildfire extremes, paleofire records provide vital insights into fire-climate-human feedbacks across time and space.

This session invites contributions using natural archives (e.g., speleothems, ice cores, lake sediments) to reconstruct past fire regimes and explore their environmental and societal impacts. We especially welcome studies that integrate single or multi-proxy paleofire data with climate models, ecological dynamics, or that inform community education, resilience, and policy. Our aim is to build a transdisciplinary dialogue on wildfire history, mechanisms, and consequences from the Quaternary past to projected futures.
