BOREAS Tree-Ring Collections


Since I am now working on the BOREAS data in my spare time, it will take a while before I will finish working up the tree-ring chronologies I have collected.  Ian Campbell and Thierry Varem-Sanders and their colleagues at Forestry Canada's Northern Forestry Centre have prepared x-ray images of more than 30 of my collections.  I am doing the image analysis work to obtain ring-width, maximum and minimum density measurements.  I also have quite a few sections of larch and black spruce that will have to be worked up using traditional methods.

Here is what I have so far (list updated 20 March 1999):
