Description of scientific projects
Our lab's research interests include: drought and temperature variability in time and space over the last 2 millennia, large-scale spatiotemporal reconstructions of past climates using multiple proxies and various statistical techniques, the use of proxy system and general circulation models to understand and interpret paleoclimate proxies and past climates, the cause and consequences of extreme events in the paleoclimate record, coastal dendrochronology, tropical dendrochronology in Asia and the Americas, stable isotope geochemistry, and the interaction between past civilizations, climate, and environmental change.
