University of Arizona Tree-Ring Laboratory

The University of Arizona Tree-Ring Laboratory specializes in studying the growth rings of trees to understand past environmental and climate conditions. By analyzing these rings, scientists can reconstruct historical climate patterns, earthquake events, and ecological changes over centuries. The lab's research provides valuable insights into how our environment has evolved and helps predict future climate trends. Combining expertise in biology, ecology, and geology, the lab offers a precise, natural record of environmental history, contributing to scientific knowledge and informed decision-making about climate and conservation issues.
