| Abstract: | A short introduction into modern tree-ring research will be followed by examples of how different tree-ring archives and parameters help to identify and shift research frontiers and cross disciplinary boundaries, not only within the natural sciences but also the humanities.
In addressing different aspects of archaeology, astronomy, biology, ecology, epidemiology, history, mycology and volcanology, this session will discuss the potential and limitations of state-of-the-art dendro sciences that may range from the cell to the hemisphere, and from the day to the Holocene. |
