Saturday, December 14, 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (or noonish)
UA Laboratory of Tree Ring Research, UA Campus
1215 Lowell Street

Tree rings have stories to tell about the climate, past and future. Let’s hear what they have to say at a docent-led tour of the UA Laboratory of Tree Ring Research, where the science of dendrochronology began and out of it the science of dendroclimatology emerged.

Tree rings, as it turns out, are the “Rosetta stone for climate.”

(The building itself is a treat: the world’s largest collection of tree-ring specimens housed in a thoroughly modern treehouse with a cascade of metal tubes on the façade alluding to the leaves of a palo verde tree — and a slice of a giant sequoia in the lobby.)

Tours are free and limited to 20 attendees. Please RSVP ASAP to reserve your spot.
