Funded Activity Summary

The divergence phenomenon in tree-ring-reconstructed temperatures: global problem or Northern Hemisphere anomaly? Concerns about recent global warming derive from comparisons of current temperatures and past temperatures reconstructed mainly from tree-rings. There is some evidence that tree-rings are becoming less sensitive to temperature at some high-latitude sites. The project will determine the scale and extent of this problem across the Southern Hemisphere.
