RU Tree Ring Lab
Welcome!
The Radford University Tree Ring Laboratory housed in the Department of Geospatial Science was established in 2013 with grant funding from the Radford University Artis College of Science and Technology. Students interested in working in the RU Tree Ring Lab should contact me via email.
