June 8-13, 2025, Petkelj\u00e4rvi National Park, Finland <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dendrochronology, the study of tree rings utilizes the variety of information stored in the annual rings in trees to study timings of events, or environmental conditions over time. Through its ability to provide accurate temporal records, dendrochronology serves as a vital tool for understanding Earth’s history and the interactions between ecosystems and humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eighth Fennoscandian Dendrochronological Fieldweek will be arranged in the scenic old-growth pine forests of Petkelj\u00e4rvi National Park, North Karelia, Finland. This intensive course offers a one-week program aiming to provide participants with a working knowledge of dendrochronological methods, or to deepen their understanding of various dendrochronological applications. Through a combination of lectures and discussions, fieldwork, and laboratory analyses course participants will explore the principles and techniques of tree ring research in detail. By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply the techniques learnt on the course to their own research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the course, we will arrange an option to travel from Joensuu to Ume\u00e5, to participate the TRACE 2025 conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
