Dendroarchaeology

An intensive introduction to the practical application of dendrochronology to a selected topic drawn from archaeology, ecology, forest science, or geoscience.

Practical Dendroclimatology

Dendroclimatology will place tree rings as natural archives of climate fluctuation in the context of interannual to millennial fluctuations in climate, and of other sources of evidence. The development of tree-ring records for use in the development of climate reconstructions, and the testing and use of such reconstructions will be covered by a mixture of lectures, discussions, practical exercises and student presentations.

Topics in Dendrochronology

One or more colloquium module topics are offered each semester to respond to timely research topics in dendrochronology and related disciplines, and to address the needs of an ever-changing stream of graduate students. May be repeated for a total of 9 units of credit.
