		<description><![CDATA[Dendrochronology, a term that translates to &#8220;tree-time,&#8221; is the method for dating the annual growth rings in trees.  The rigorous approach was developed at the University of Arizona by Andrew E. Douglass, an astronomer who was interested in sunspot variations.  In the forests surrounding Flagstaff, Arizona, Dr. Douglas noticed similar ring-width patterns on lots of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dendrodan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9294045&amp;post=44&amp;subd=dendrodan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my research specialties is dendrochronology, the dating of the annual growth rings found in many trees. We develop tree-ring chronologies from living trees and dead wood, and use these records to study past environmental conditions. In order to develop the longest records we are always looking for the oldest trees.  This is perhaps [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dendrodan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9294045&amp;post=50&amp;subd=dendrodan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
