DESCRIPTION:It is very well known that you can count the rings to figure o
 ut the age of a tree. Tree-ring research or Dendrochronology\, however\, g
 oes beyond that because trees record environmental changes and impacts in 
 each annual ring. Trees are thus a great archive for the past with high te
 mporal resolution. Tree-ring analysis can be applied to various climatolog
 ical and ecological research questions\, including inter alia\, climate re
 constructions\, growth responses to extreme climatic events\, insect outbr
 eaks or even forest damage through warfare. This talk will give a short in
 troduction to Dendrochronology in general\, and some examples will demonst
 rate the steadily expanding application areas of this discipline. Dr Claud
 ia Hartl is a dendrochronologist\, geographer and ecologist with a strong 
 background in climatology. Her research is generally focused on tree-rings
  but the spectrum of topics is broad\, as trees with their long lifespan a
 nd annual resolution can tell a variety of different stories. Dr Hartl is 
 based at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and uses different tree-ring 
 parameters\, such as tree-ring width\, stable isotopes and maximum latewoo
 d density\, for studying various forest ecosystems mostly across Europe. F
