Tree-Ring Talk

Making the most of your mentoring opportunities

This is an encore of a talk given annually for many years at the Fall Graduate Student Orientation at the University of Arizona.  It covers the roles of mentors, how to find and choose mentors, expectations and responsibilities on both sides of the mentor-mentee relationship, and strategies for a successful mentoring experience (including suggestions for effective communication, avoiding mentoring pitfalls, and maintaining an ethical mentoring milieu).

Dendrochronology from Greece to Arizona or from fire history reconstruction to dendroarcheology

Greece has attracted dendrochronologists’ interest since the late 80s, with the pioneer work of P.I. Kuniholm, whom together with C.L. Striker collected and analyzed tree ring series from several historical buildings, forests and archeological sites in Greece and the surrounding Aegean region. Since then, dendrochronology has also been used for the identification of tree growth – climate relationship, while the use of dendrochronology for fire history reconstruction remains rather limited.
