๐Ÿ’งDid you know that the single-year severe drought of 2002 was not unprecedented in comparison with multi-year persistent droughts? ๐ŸŒณA tree-ring-based evaluation of water supply variability for the #SaltVerde River Basin by David Meko and Katherine Hirschboeck revealed that 28 other drought periods between 1814 and 2006 were continuously severe.

Tree Story by Valerie Trouet, 2020

The History of the World Written in Rings
Children around the world know that to tell how old a tree is, you count its rings. Few people, however, know that research into tree rings has also made amazing contributions to our understanding of Earth's climate history and its influences on human civilization over the past 2,000 years.

๐ŸŒŠโ„๏ธ Did you know winter flow in #Siberiaโ€™s Yenisei River has surged by 80% in just 25 years? Using tree rings to reconstruct 300 years of river history, Irina P. Panyushkina, David M Meko and co-researchers uncovered unprecedented increases in winter discharge, likely driven by permafrost thaw and #Arctic warming.
