Lord of the Tree Rings - Dr. Bryan Black Biosphere 2 Podcast

- Earth Sciences
In this episode we are joined by Dr. Bryan Black. Bryan is an associate professor at the Laboratory of Tree Ring Research at the University of Arizona. In his research, he applies techniques used in dendrochronology, the science of tree rings, to study the hard parts of marine and freshwater species like fish, clams, and corals. Similar to the study of tree rings, the patterns analyzed within select marine species, can be used for studying species productivity, age, and their relationships to climate throughout history.
Bryan combines these data from across different species to describe linkages among marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems AND to generate multi-millennial climate histories.
Originally trained as a forest ecologist, Bryan also maintains interests in developing histories of forest disturbance and natural hazards including large landslides and earthquakes from the past.
