	Global Climate Change Student Guide
		The study of the annual growth of trees and the consequent assembling of long, continuous chronologies for use in dating wood is called dendrochronology.
		There are several subfields of dendroclimatology associated with the processing and interpretation of different tree-growth variables.
		Density variations are particularly valuable in dendroclimatology because they to not change significantly with tree age, and the process of standardisation (removal of growth function) can therefore be avoided.

	Dendroclimatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dendroclimatology is the science of extracting past climate information from information in trees.
		The technique is most useful in the temperate latitudes; the stable climate of tropical regions promotes continuous tree growth, eliminating growth rings.
		In regions such as the western U.S., dendroclimatology has proven exceedingly useful for reconstructing past climate.

	Trees as indicators of climate change
		These records are the primary resource of the science of dendroclimatology - the study of the relationships between climate and tree-growth parameters and their use in the reconstruction of past climates.
		The project is also examining evidence of climate variability contained in similarly long oak-ring-width chronologies in west central Europe and exploring the strength of climate control over isotopic variations in different elements of oak tree rings from Ireland, Finland and the United Kingdom.
		Much of the work in dendroclimatology at the CRU has and continues to involve significant collaboration between colleagues within the Unit and abroad.

		Despite the existence of a number of climate proxies, the terrestrial expression of tropical climate variability over the past few centuries remains poorly resolved.
		We explore the applicability of stable isotope dendroclimatology as a tool for chronology and paleo- hydrology reconstruction on deciduous trees from monsoonal northern Thailand.
		We see an increase in the amplitude of the seasonal delta 18O cycle along with an increase in delta 18O_max over the past few decades suggesting a tracking of the recent drying trend of Thailand's monsoon.

		Dendroclimatology can therefore provide annually resolved and precisely dated information about past climate in both space and time, a capability virtually unique in paleoclimatology.
		The current spatial distribution of existing tree-ring records in the highlands of central Asia are illustrated in Figure 2.
		In particular, tree-ring data can provide a temporal context for evaluating the impact of human activities at scales that are suitable for forest management policies (i.e., from individual trees to entire forest stands).

	Tree Rings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Dendroclimatology offers a high-resolution (annual) form of palaeoclimate reconstruction for the last few thousand years.
		Whenever tree growth is limited directly or indirectly by some climate element, usually temperature or rainfall, and that limitation can be quantified and dated, dendroclimatology can be used to reconstruct some information about past environmental conditions.
		Such variables include tree ring width, tree ring density, and chemical or isotopic variables.

		These annual rings can be counted to tell the age of the tree, and because there is more growth under good conditions, the growth patterns can be studied to determine the conditions a tree lived through such as forest fires, drought, insect attack, floods, or slopes.
		The study of tree rings and climate is called dendroclimatology.

	Tree-Ring Evidence Confirms Alaskan Inuit Saga of Climate Disaster--The Earth Institute at Columbia University (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In an unusual effort of multidisciplinary synthesis, a team led by tree-ring scientist Gordon Jacoby of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory has demonstrated that this mythic disaster did in fact take place in 1783, most likely as the result of a massive volcanic eruption that occurred thousands of miles away in Iceland.
		Their work, funded by the National Science Foundation and published recently in Quaternary Science Reviews, combined elements of dendroclimatology with volcanology, history and anthropology to solve the chilling mystery.
		In general, the better the growing season the wider the ring and the denser the wood added in late summer.

	aaron's columbia glacier
		This new record will be used to: reconstruct the Holocene history of the Columbia Glacier, provide calendar-dates to early Medieval (AD 600) glacial advances around the northern Gulf of Alaska, and finally to asssess climate change in the North Pacific region over the past two millennia through calibration with meteorological records and dendroclimatic reconstruction.
		My area of emphasis on the project will be in the area of dendroclimatology and examining what the tree-ring record tells us about climate.
		By comparing the collected tree-ring data with meteorological record I will be able to identify the most important climatic variables that influenced the growth of the mountain hemlocks, and that ultimately lead to the advance or retreat of the Columbia Glacier throughout the past several hundred years.

	INTRODUCTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Depending on the proxy, climate indicators can reveal changes in the earth’s climate for the past few thousand years.
		One of these proxies, dendroclimatology, has allowed for a detailed reconstruction of paleoclimate (Douglass, 1937, Glock and Pearson, 1937, Huber, 1943)
		Dendroclimatology, or the study of annual changes in tree-ring growth, has allowed paleoclimatologists to accurately determine small changes in temperature and precipitation to the year.

		Synoptic Dendroclimatology is a subfield of dendrochronology which uses dated tree rings to study and reconstruct present and past climate from the viewpoint of the climate's constituent weather components.
		This class will build on the principles of synoptic circulation patterns developed in the "Synoptic Sense" module, link these principles to those of dendroclimatology, and explore ways in which these two branches of scientific inquiry can be integrated.
		This 1-unit course is designed to introduce graduate students to pedagogical theory, skills, practice and technological tools that can be implemented in the college classroom and other learning environments.

	The Great Satan: Breaking the "Hockey Stick" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In honor of the National Research Council of the National Academies committee to study “Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Past 1,000-2,000 Years” meeting at this moment, I offer my own climate reconstruction based on the methods blessed by dendroclimatology.
		The graph below shows reconstructed temperature anomolies over 2000 years, with the surface temperature measurements from 1850 from CRU as fl dots, the individual series in blue and the climate reconstruction in fl.
		I think you can see the similarity to other published reconstructions (see here), particularly the prominent ‘hockey-stick’ shape, the cooler temperatures around the 1500s and the Medieval Warm Period around the 1000s.
