TREE Data

With the TREE program, students from across Canada can be part of a national research program to study the environmental history of their own community. The MAD Lab (studying tree growth) and the CLS Education team (studying chemistry) are able to look at trembling aspen tree cores and the soil surrounding the tree to analyze the chemical composition and connect that information to a timeline of environmental events that have impacted your community. Below is an up-to-date map covering all the schools involved in the TREE Program since it's beginning in 2019. Clicking on any of the map locators will bring up the school name and a link to their XRF data that was collected at the CLS, in conjunction with the data collected from MAD Lab.
