The LDEO Tree Ring Lab welcomes you to look at tree-ring samples from around the world, talking to dendrochronologists, and lear about the exciting and world-famous research in our lab.
"Silent though they are, the trees, it turns out, can speak volumes. The size, density, anatomy and chemistry of each ring reflect the environmental conditions in the year in which it grew. So like ancient scribes, long-lived trees can sensitively record the environmental history of a given place and time." —Gordon Jacoby, Co-Founder, LDEO Tree Ring Lab
