Dendroclimatology

Group leaders: Karen HEETER & Fabio GENNARETTI

Main objectives: Development and interpretation of blue intensity chronologies from the cedar trees of Duparquet lake

Description: Group dedicated to the development and interpretation of blue intensity chronologies from the famous cedar trees of Duparquet lake:

• https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1816686116

• https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/x92-090

The chronologies will be used to analyze the climate imprint on the cedars and develop climate reconstructions.

Skills you will acquire:

• Core processing

• Cross-dating

• Chronology building and validation

• Blue intensity chronologies

• Handle of climate data

• Development of transfer functions for climate reconstructions
