Welcome!
The Minnesota Dendroecology Laboratory operates out of the Department of Geography at the University of Minnesota. We have faculty and students conducting research in a variety of environments and on a number of topics, including climate change, climate-vegetation relationships, disturbance ecology, and vegetation modeling. One of the primary methods used in our research is dendrochronology, the science of tree-ring dating. Tree rings provide a unique window into the past and can offer important lessons for the future. This site provides an overview of the people involved with our laboratory, our past and ongoing research projects, and our resources and facilities. If you have questions concerning our research or study opportunities with the Minnesota Dendroecology Laboratory, please email any of us (our contact information is on the "People" page). If you have more general questions or interests about the Department of Geography and the University of Minnesota, please see the links below.
Thank you for your visit. |
