Dendro Sciences Unit

Head: Dr. Paolo Cherubini

We conduct innovative research focused on understanding and reconstructing the interactions between the earth's changing environments and tree-ring growth. Our activities span Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa with expertise in global climate change studies, ecosystem and geomorphic processes, and the physiology of ring formation. dani bohrt fichte
