We will meet approximately every other week, starting in late February or early March, for a 2 to 3 hour discussion. We will identify papers (2 or 3) at each session to be read and discussed at the subsequent session. A student, or group of students, will be in charge of helping obtain and distribute the papers (pdfs preferred) and they will lead each discussion session.
Topics are to be decided by consensus. One topic is likely to be tree-ring applications in forest and woodland demography and climate change.
Please let me know if you are planning to enroll in the course or just sit in.
