Tree Story: the history of our climate written in rings

Prof. Valerie Trouet
University of Arizona (USA) en Belgisch Klimaatcentrum

In this lecture V. Trouet discusses how tree rings can be used to study the complex interactions between forests, humans and climate. She talks about cells of wood that are smaller than the diameter of a human hair and about jet streams that are as large as one of Earth’s hemispheres. She tells tree ring stories… and in doing so she emphasizes the important impact that climate and climate change have and have had on ecosystems and societies.
