The impact of climatic change on human affairs has been
demonstrated dramatically in past years. Climatic extremes have
placed increasing pressure on world food supplies leading to a
doubling, then trebling, of grain prices during the 1970s.
Moreover, there is mounting concern that society itself may soon
bring about an unparalleled climatic shift by atmospheric pollution
and changing land use. In order to deal wisely with the Earth's
limited natural resources and to assess society's potential to
alter future climate, more information is needed about the course
of past climatic change. Climate from Tree Rings brings together
basic accounts of the methodology, techniques, available data and
potential of dendroclimatology, the reconstruction of past climates
from tree rings. The material presented in this volume, first
published in 1982, represents a major step in the reconstruction of
the past climatic record. It will be of particular interest to
research workers, postgraduates, and advanced graduates in many
branches of the atmospheric, earth and life sciences, especially
those with an interest in climatic change and palaeoenviornments.
