Dendroclimatology: Using Tree Rings as Proxy Data
Tree rings show evidence of droughts, wet seasons, forest fires, and even earthquakes. Tree rings can not be used alone as evidence for past climate. Students need to understand that no one object holds the key to the climate change debate. It is the correlation of all these key pieces of evidence that builds our understanding of past climate events. Through analyzing our local trees we can develop a climate story for our local environment and connect that story to the story of Earth's climate t
