The Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research Tree-Ring Talks

During each academic semester, the Laboratory offers a series of informal tree-ring talks covering any and all aspects of dendrochronology and related fields of environmental science.

• These tree-ring talks are free and open to the public
   
• All visitors are welcome to attend
   
• Visitors who are so inclined are welcome to offer to give a talk
   
• The talks are normally given at 12 noon on Wednesdays, but schedule changes occur occasionally
