Dr. Valerie Trouet publishes book illustrating the intertwined history of trees and humans

In her recent publication, Dr. Trouet takes readers around the world for a tour of exotic landscapes and human history through the eyes of a tree-ring researcher. Tree rings tell us so much more than just the age of the tree, and provide a historical account of the region?s past that scientists can ?read? to learn about past fires, droughts, and more. Tree rings can therefore help us fill in the gaps of our own stories throughout human history.  Read more and purchase the book from the publisher here.
