Tucson after5 Tech Mixer: UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research

Register

The University of Arizona is home to the oldest tree-ring research lab in the country where scientists from around the world collaborate.

The study of tree rings, or dendrochronology, helps reconstruct environmental change and unravel processes in ecosystems and human societies.  A. E. Douglass, a pioneer in dendrochronology, founded the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research in 1937.

In 2013, the laboratory moved into its new home that uses an innovative design to resemble tree rings and a tree house.

At this after5 you’ll tour the lab and learn about:

  • Dendrochronology, the dating and study of annual tree rings
  • History of the lab
  • How tree ring chronologies are used to understand past, present and future environmental processes
