Tree Rings and Redwoods

Learn what tree rings can tell us and about the hard work that goes behind this field of study with Allyson Carroll, a dendrochronologist who works with Save the Redwoods League and who is a research associate at Humboldt State. Only recently has a network of cross-dated tree-ring chronologies been developed for coast redwood trees. Dendrochronology is the study of tree tree rings and relates to many fields of study including forestry, climate studies, and archaeology.
