Climatic Changes and Their Effects on Rainfall in Hawai‘i

In the past three decades rainfall has been decreasing over many parts of the Hawaiian Islands, while temperatures have been rising. If these trends continued, severe deficit in the moisture availability could affect many parts of the Hawaiian Islands, with devastating impacts on Hawai‘i’s native ecosystem. In this presentation I will discuss how climate variability on the large-scale and rainfall variability on the small scale are related. Based on these empirical relations, statistical downscaling methods have been developed for the Hawaiian Islands.

Beyond chronology – a tale of tall trees

Barrels, as packaging for a range of traded goods, often ended up re-used in wells and latrines in towns. Tree-ring analysis of barrel finds not only supplies us with a precise chronology for their manufacture, and for the dating of the contexts in which they are found. The region of origin of the wood, through provenance determination, reveals connections between regions that might not necessarily be detected in the other finds from a site. In this talk, I will present some of the most recent provenance determination results that have emerged through my research in Northern Europe.

What I did this summer

The first Tree-Ring Talk of the semester will include multiple short summaries by lab members highlighting what they have been up to over the summer.  The talks will be followed by an informal social to give people the opportunity to catch up with each other.  Presenters will include:

  • Amy Hudson and Soumaya Belmecheri
  • Ben Bellorado
  • Charlotte Pearson
  • Dave Meko
  • Irina Panyushkina
  • Kit O'Connor
  • Paul Szejner
  • Peter Brewer
  • Ramzi Touchan
  • Ross Alexander
  • Valerie Trouet
