Selected methods related to the processing of tree-ring data

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students

• understand the major principles of tree ring research, wood anatomy and wood formation;

• are able to prepare wood samples for macroscopic and microscopic analyses;

• know how to measure various wood parameters, to evaluate quality of measurements and to synchronize and date tree-ring data series;

• learn how to relate tree-ring data to environmental variables
