Las vegas (ap) — There’s no precedent in at least five centuries for how hot and dry the West has been in the last two decades, new research asserts using

Climate change is affecting extreme heat and drought in Nevada and the Southwest, a tree ring study has found.

Learn how unexpected discoveries involving black holes, tree-ring dating, planets and plastics have helped shape scientific research.

Expert reveals that 'pattern of large and small rings that commonly occur in a sequence of tree rings provides basis for tree-ring dating'

In this gee-whiz science and great outdoors piece, an expert in tree-ring research shares some of the details of what trees can tell us — and whether or not their rings can reveal their age.

Just like rings in trees, rings found in the tiny ear bones of fish can reveal clues about the effects of climate change.

A UArizona researcher applies tree-ring dating methods to growth rings of rockfish to study fluctuations in climate over decades.

For decades, scientists have used a specific method to predict how a species will fare under a changing climate. But that method might produce misleading or inaccurate results, according to new research involving University of Arizona scientists.

University of Arizona researchers' findings from studying young trees can help shape forest management policy and our understanding of how landscapes will change.
