Tree-Ring Lab visit

This is a visit to the LTRR by 30 + students from Indian Oasis School . This visit is sponsored by Kathryn Kellner who provides the funding to the school for these students to be able to take this field trip. 

Calibrating Time Lags in Archaeological Tree-Ring Dating: the Colorado Old Wood Project, Phase I: Douglas Creek Arch and the Uncompahgre Plateau

Archaeologists have long been aware of the potential for serious overestimation of site ages based on radiocarbon and tree-ring dates from certain archaeological contexts. The “old wood problem” arises from the human use of deadwood elements for various purposes and the fact that trees are long-lived plants whose rings date to the years in which they were grown rather than to the years in which the organisms died. Despite a fairly unfocused concern with this issue, little effort has been devoted to quantifying the magnitude of the problem.

Shifting from Local to Landscape Controls of Disturbance Size and Severity: A Tree-Ring Reconstruction of Fire, Spruce Beetle Outbreaks, and Species Dynamics of the Pinaleño Mountains

Forest disturbances exert a strong control over species composition and structure. In the Sky Islands of the American Southwest, steep elevation gradients give rise to moisture and temperature gradients that support a diverse array of forest types and disturbance regimes in a relatively small geographic area.

Math East Building Closure

The entire Math East building will be closed between March 10th and March 25th (Spring Break and the week after). The building contractor will be moving heavy steel beams overhead during the day, so this isn't just an administrative closure, but at real safety concern. Emergency access is possible after working hours, but only through the west entrance (the temporary wheelchair ramp). This will also be the only working building entrance from March 5th onwards (the week before the closure).The building will be open Monday as scheduled.
