Treeline Dynamics in Western Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Green, Scott
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: The project will examine past tree growth patterns at the northern treeline in Western Canada as a baseline to predict future growth responses to climate change. Additionally, the researchers will examine tree regeneration and plant associations at the northern treeline. Annual tree rings represent a growth response to local climate. Wide growth rings represent good growing conditions, and nar...


Post-glacial treeline change in the Campbell-Dolomite Uplands of the Inuvik area
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Glen M
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: As part of an on-going study, this research will involve collecting cores from trees located in the Campbell-Dolomite Uplands (near Campbell Lake). This data will be added to data collected in other locations (past studies) in order to determine how past climate has influenced the growth of trees (as indicated by tree rings within the tree trunk). The research is helpful in trying to understand ...


Extensive Dendrochronological Reconstruction of Temperature in the Northern Hemisphere: North American Boreal Zone
Principal Investigator: Jacoby, Gordon C.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1989
Summary: The object of this research is to reconstruct past climate in order to understand how the climate system works, and what past natural variations may be expected based upon this information. This project is to sample old-aged trees and to assemble enough coverage to reconstruct regional and Hemispheric temperatures for the most recent centuries....
