Scope
The European Dendroecological Fieldweek covers the full spectrum of dendrochronological issues, including dendroclimatology, dendroecology, dendrogeomorphology, dendroarchaeology and wood anatomy, and fosters cross-disciplinary links.
Each topic includes keynote lectures, fieldwork and data production/analysis in small groups, supervised by an advanced scientist.
Participants will learn methods of field sampling, sample preparation, visual and statistical cross-dating, data production of tree-ring widths, blue reflectance, stable isotopes, cell size parameters, image analysis, statistical data analysis, and presentation of results. Participants and advanced scientists will spend the whole week together, and there will be ample opportunity to learn, discuss and make new friends from all around the world.
Financial Support
The European Dendroecological Fieldweek is supported by the Association of Tree-Ring Research ATR which offers a few grants on a competitive basis.
The financial support will be around 150€ and is intended to help cover travel costs. Successful applicants are of course expected to attend and participate in the full week of activities. The ATR committee will decide to whom support will be granted.
