A new UA study uses tree-ring data to reconstruct Colorado River flows over the past 500 years. The study could have a significant impact on water use in the West and further emphasizes the need for ...

A new study leveraging 20,000 tree-ring records and nearly 150 scientists' contributions from across the globe shows that, while droughts appear to have had a modest impact on tropical tree growth in ...

Most people are familiar with the notion that "tree rings" — the concentric bands visible on a cross-section of a tree's trunk — serve as an indicator of a tree's age. Researchers at the University of ...

There’s no precedent in at least five centuries for how hot and dry the West has been in the last two decades, new research asserts using analysis of tree rings. The study, published in late January, ...

The current Western megadrought is unlike any other dry period the region has experienced over the past 500 years. That’s according to a new study in which scientists looked at tree rings to track ...

New research has found that some tropical trees in the Peruvian Amazon can be used to monitor mercury pollution from gold mining, offering an alternative to expensive air monitors. Previous research ...

Increasing tree species diversity is often regarded as a way to make forests more resilient to climate change. However, a new international study led by the University of Freiburg shows that diversity ...

TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - A new study from the University of Arizona reveals how historical tree-ring data can help predict extreme summer weather events. Researchers, led by Ellie Broadman, analyzed ...
