Herbchronology

Research at CTRS includes a wide variety of scientific disciplines.

From forest growth trends to isotopic analysis of elements, we are always interested in exploring new ways to use dendrochronology to improve our understanding of forests, climate, history, and human societies. We have worked with state and federal agencies as well as private individuals and companies, and encourage anyone interested in research collaboration or hiring us for a project to contact us.
