Both dendrochronology and radiocarbon (14C) dating have their roots back in the early to mid-1900s. Although they were independently developed, they began to intertwine in the 1950s when the founder of dendrochronology, A. E. Douglass, provided dated wood samples for Willard Libby to test his...

The association between climate variability and episodic events, such as the antecedent moisture conditions prior to wildfire or the cooling following volcanic eruptions, is commonly assessed using Superposed Epoch Analysis (SEA). In SEA the epochal response is typically calculated as the average...

The need to understand natural climate variability and improve weather forecasts gave birth to the first tree-ring reconstructions more than a century ago in Europe and North America, and still defines a central motivation for modern paleoclimatology: learning from the past to prepare for the...

The end-Permian extinction (EPE) has been considered to be contemporaneous on land and in the oceans. However, re-examined floristic records and new radiometric ages from Gondwana indicate a nuanced terrestrial ecosystem response to EPE global change. Paleosol geochemistry and climate simulations...

Tree-ring width chronologies of cedro (Cedrela fissilis Vell.) (1875 to 2018), jatobá (Hymenaea courbaril L.) (1840 to 2018) and roxinho Peltogyne paniculata Benth. (1910 to 2018) were developed by dendrochronological techniques in the southern Amazon Basin. Acceptable statistics for the tree-ring...

Accumulations of woody debris and in situ forests in and near ancient river systems are studied in Permian through Triassic strata of Antarctica. These Permian and Triassic fossil ecosystems represent paleo-polar and paleo-high-latitude environments, respectively, and therefore represent unique...

Searching for a robust tree-ring parameter useful for paleoclimatic purposes is one of the most demanding topics in the modern paleoscience. Since Blue Intensity has already expressed itself in different geographical locations all over the world as a possible replacement for maximum density, close...

This study investigates if Blue Intensity (BI) parameters are capable of capturing enhanced climatic signals from a key New Zealand dendrochronological species when compared to ring-width (RW) measurements. Three BI parameters (earlywood mean, latewood mean and maximum latewood) recorded generally...

A tree-ring analysis of 764 western white spruce (Picea albertiana) in the Takhini Valley of southwest Yukon was conducted to assess short- and long-term variation in growth and local climate. The resulting chronology spanned the period from AD 1763 to 2013. A polynomial regression (R=0.720, ...

Utah's Great Salt Lake (GSL) is a closed-basin remnant of the larger Pleistocene-age Lake Bonneville. The modern instrumental record of the GSL-level (i.e. elevation) change is strongly modulated by Pacific Ocean coupled ocean/atmospheric oscillations at low frequency, and therefore reflects the...
