Dendrochronology or tree-ring dating is the method of scientific dating based on the analysis of tree-ring growth patterns. This technique was invented and developed during the 20th century originally by the astronomer A. E. Douglass, the founder of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research<\/a> at the University of Arizona.<\/p>\n

Other branches of Dendrology:<\/p>\n

dendroarchaeology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to date when timber was felled, transported, processed, or used for construction or wooden artifacts. Example<\/em>: dating the tree rings of a beam from a ruin in the American Southwest to determine when it was built.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendroclimatology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to study present climate and reconstruct past climate. Example<\/em>: analyzing ring widths of trees to determine how much rainfall fell per year long before weather records were kept.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendroecology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to study factors that affect the earth’s ecosystems. Example<\/em>: analyzing the effects of air pollution on tree growth by studying changes in ring widths over time.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendrogeomorphology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to date earth surface processes that created, altered, or shaped the landscape. Example<\/em>: analyzing changes in tree growth patterns via tree rings to date a series of landslide events.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendroglaciology: <\/strong>The science that uses tree rings to date and study past and present changes in glaciers. Example<\/em>: dating the inside rings of trees on moraines to establish the approximate date of a glacial advance.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendrohydrology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to study changes in river flow, surface runoff, and lake levels. Example<\/em>: dating when trees were inundated to determine the sequence of lake level changes over time.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendropyrochronology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to date and study past and present changes in wildfires. Example<\/em>: dating the fire scars left in tree rings to determine how often fires occurred in the past.<\/font><\/p>\n

dendroentomology: <\/font><\/strong><\/font>The science that uses tree rings to date and study the past dynamics of insect populations. Example<\/em>: dating the growth suppressions left in tree rings from western spruce budworm outbreaks in the past.<\/font><\/p>\n
