Dendroclimatological Studies done by Nanjing University since 2006

Tree-Ring Lab at Nanjing University was built in 2006 after I got my PhD degree and moved to Nanjing University to work as a post-doctoral researcher. Since then, we have been focusing on tree-ring width studies in Southeast China which is a subtropical monsoon region with annual precipitation over 1,200 mm. We reconstructed cold season temperature and warm season temperature series over the past hundreds of years. In one case, we reconstructed one precipitation series. The research region has been extended to Southwest China recently.

A New Course Offering: Great US Ecological Catastrophes

Paul will offer a new course next semester entitled, Great US Ecological Catastrophes, listed through the School of Geography and Development.

Painted Walls and Tree-Ring Dates South of the Bears Ears: Results of Five Years of Research by the Cedar Mesa Building Murals Inventory, Documentation, and Dating Project

This presentation presents the results of the Cedar Mesa Building Murals Inventory, Documentation, and Dating Project, a five-year study (2013-2017) of decorated buildings at Ancestral Pueblo cliff-dwellings in southeastern Utah that were occupied in the Pueblo III period (A.D. 1150-1300).

From sticks to sawdust — expanding the linear aggregate growth model to project future tree growth

Investigating climate sensitivity of large-scale forest tree growth and projecting climate change impacts on said growth requires representative data. In this talk, I wrap up my two years as a Postdoc at the LTRR and show the importance of the U.S. Forest Service's tree-ring dataset to correctly represent climate sensitivity of three common species in the U.S. Southwest.

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).
