Dendrochronology: History, scientific basis and biological basis of dendrochronology
Chronology Development: Sample preparation, cross-dating (skeleton plots), ring-width measurement, standardization, and assessment of chronology quality
Dendrohydrologic Reconstructions: Signal identification: SEASCORR and basic idea of Transfer functions
Applications:
Dendroarchaeology: Case studies from North America and Russia, such as will be covering topics such as temperature reconstructions and their analysis in northern Hemisphere from tree rings
Dendrohydrology: Regional drought reconstructions for the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and Eurasia; Colorado River reconstruction of annual flow; reconstruction of river flow from riparian tree rings
Dendroecology: Fire history and climate patterns in conifer forests of USA and Russia, modeling of cell structure of tree rings from North America and Eurasia
Dendroclimatology: Temperature reconstructions and their analysis in Northern Hemisphere from tree rings
Role of Dendrochronology in natural resource management: Collaborative planning for water sustainability in the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa.
