Climatology Group
We study high-resolution climate variability through the analysis of tree rings and other palaeoclimate archives at regional to global scales. Instrumental data are evaluated and used for the calibration of these archives to reconstruct climate over the past couple hundred to thousand years. We teach introductory and methodological courses on climatology with emphasis on spatial patterns and long-term changes of climate and ecological variability.
