Introduction
Jun Inoue currently works at the Department of Geosciences, Osaka Metropolitan University. His research focuses on paleoenvironmental science related to climate dynamics and human land use during the Quaternary period. Additionally, his work encompasses the study of particulate pollutants in environmental science, particularly those emitted from industrial activities since the Industrial Revolution. His studies examine the impact of past fires, including naturally occurring wildfires, anthropogenic fires, and the combustion of fossil fuels in industrial activities, on the natural environment.
