David M. Meko

David M. Meko is a climate scientist and dendrochronologist who specializes in studying tree rings to understand past climate changes. By analyzing patterns in tree growth, he reconstructs historical climate conditions—like droughts and wet periods—that occurred before modern record-keeping. His work helps scientists understand long-term climate variability and informs predictions about future climate risks. Meko's research provides valuable insights into how natural climate systems have behaved over centuries, improving our understanding of potential future climate impacts on ecosystems and water resources.
