A Tree-Ring Smorgasbord

A traditional Swedish smörgåsbord contains many dishes, where you usually sample a little of each. In this talk, I will serve a tree-ring based smorgasbord, based on my career as a tree-ring scientist over the last twenty years or so. I will guide you through various environments and research projects across the world, with some special focus on the long-term research conducted in the central Scandinavian Mountains. Also, I will discuss the merit of using tree-ring proxies to understand the large-scale circulation and associated teleconnections in the past, but also the importance of developing new proxies and methodologies in dendrochronology, as well as cross disciplinary research.
