Dendrochronological

/ˌdɛndroʊkrɑːnəˈlɑːdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the scientific dating method that uses tree-ring patterns to determine the age of wood or past climate conditions.

Etymology

From Greek dendro- (tree) + chronos (time) + -logical (relating to study of). This modern scientific term emerged in the early 20th century when researchers discovered that tree rings tell a datable story of environmental history.

Kelly Says

Scientists can read tree rings like a book to see exactly what happened 5,000 years ago—drought years create thin rings, wet years create thick ones, and by matching up overlapping patterns from different trees, researchers have built a climate record stretching back millennia!
