The use of tree-rings is strongly increasing in many fields of science, especially in ecology. Disturbance history, climate reconstruction and analysis of human impact on forest ecosystems are areas where precisely dated tree-ring chronologies can add new and unique information.
With the course we would like to give a broad overview of dendroecology,
concentrating on field and lab techniques, to provide a starting point for a wider use of tree-ring based methods. The course is intended for Ph.D. level students interested in dendroecology and its various applications. During the course the
students will acquire a range of practical skills, which should allow them to independently collect and analyze tree-ring datasets. Although the course will be designed primarily for those with little experience in the tree-ring research, it should also be of value for students already using dendro-methods in their projects.
