Koma Kulshan Chapter: Reconstructing Past Climate Using Tree-Ring Data from Ancient Bristlecone Pine

The annual growth rings from ancient Bristlecone Pine contain valuable information about climate variability extending back thousands of years. These proxies for variation in temperature and precipitation allow us to reconstruct past climates in a way that helps us understand the dynamics of the climate system and puts modern climate change into a long-term context. Dr. Andy Bunn is a Professor in the Environmental Science department at WWU with a focus on paleoclimate and carbon cycling. He leads the Huxley Tree Ring Lab, and was the founding director of the Institute for Energy Studies.
