[Public talks]

Tree-Ring Talk Series

If you work in or near the University of Arizona you might find the program of public tree-ring talks interesting. These are generally held at Tree-Ring Lab West, Building 45, Room 20, enter east side door (formally old Purchasing and Stores Building) in the middle of the day: check the program for specific times and locations.

[Learn crossdating]

Skeleton plotting

Paul Sheppard has written an introduction to skeleton plotting, a technique used to help crossdate tree-ring patterns. This introduction is not only a descriptive guide that includes much background information on crossdating in general, but also features an interactive page where you can try your hand at crossdating at various levels of difficulty.

Groups can arrange to be given a guided tour of the Laboratory: contact Rex Adams (+1 520 626 3617, radams@LTRR.Arizona.EDU) if you are interested. As well as these Web pages we also maintain a anonymous FTP server, but this will not work with some client programs, (however many of the files are available through both systems). You can use this FTP site to exchange files with people here: you can collect the files they leave in the OUTGOING directory, and deposit your own files in the INCOMING directory (but will not then be able to see or alter them).
