Probably the last sampling trip for the season, and we were lucky to get it done before the snow hit. It was a damp day with a capital D, but we got the work done. We got into some nice, large western larch and white pine. Although not as old as the stand last weekend, it still fit the bill. Really nice stand of large, co-occurring larch, white pine, ponderosa pine, grand fir, and Douglas-fir!

We couldn't have asked for a better day! Nice and cool, blue sky, 3 new field pups that are now BFFs, 300 year old western larch. All that capped off with a stop at the Brush Creek Creamery in Deary, ID 🤘

What a great day to core trees! We had a blast coring old western larch and white pine (250+ yr) with the Fundamentals of Dendrochronology class in a unique stand in northern Idaho.

40+ mph on an awesome boat is an efficient way for us to get to these northern pecan bottomland hardwood sites along the USACE St. Louis and Rock Island Districts of the Mississippi River!

Finally got the fieldwork completed for the USGS/USACE project completed! Installed 15 plots in declining northern pecan stands along the Upper Mississippi River (Rock Island and St. Louis Districts) to study affects of changed hydrology on future forest trajectory. Even had a day off in St. Louis!

Texas State University archaeologist Dr. Nick Herrmann doing an interview at the end of a meeting marathon over the past couple days at University of Mississippi Medical Center wrt the Asylum Hill Cemetery. The ITRL is working with Nick and his multi-institution team of archaeologists to provide cutting dates for the coffin boards (old longleaf pine) for about 7,000 unmarked graves at the cemetery of the Mississippi State Asylum (1855-1935). Really unique way to apply dendrochronology.

Highlight to the start of the fall semester was this amazing sign on the door of 2 ITRL scientists: Karen Heeter and April Kaiser!

Lab members Danny King and Karen Heeter...pound for pound the best coring crew, seen here collecting from enormous tulip poplar at Scott's Gap in the Smokies. Fyi, that's a golf tee in Danny's mouth, not a cigarette 😉

One of the best trips we've had! Great collab with the ENvironmental Tree-ring -ENT Laboratory collecting 21 chronologies across the southern Appalachians for a NSF-funded project to reconstruct litigated rivers in the South.

BLUE INTENSITY AS A TEMPERATURE PROXY IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES: A PILOT STUDY FROM A SOUTHERN DISJUNCT POPULATION OF PICEA RUBENS (Sarg.) 05/04/2019

Can't believe that PhD student Karen Heeter hasn't quite finished her 1st year, yet here's her first pub! Huge thank you to Dr. Saskia van de Gevel and Phil White for the critical collab. Bottom line... work ethic!

PhD student Karen Heeter did a great job presenting her poster at the AAG meeting in DC on using blue intensity on eastern red spruce for temperature variability across the southern Appalachians!

We had a blast coring 3 structures for the Chickasaw Nation near Tupelo, Mississippi over spring break. Lab student Danny King did it all, including running the ground penetrating radar!

Really proud of undergrad lab student Danny King, who volunteered to present his thesis research to a group of UIdaho Bound students and parents today! Danny is studying the vegetation dynamics of bottomland forests along the Upper Mississippi River corridor.

Best gift ever! The holidays came early to the lab with this box from Peter Brown at Rocky Mountain Tree-Ring Research. Almost every issue of Tree-Ring Bulletin / Tree-Ring Research since 1934! Soon to be a feature of the lab! Many thanks, Peter!

How cool is this?!? Dr. Penny Morgan (Fire Ecologist, UIdaho) talking to the Moscow, ID community about historical fires on the Palouse-forest egde. She even covered the technique of crossdating!!!

What do ya do with extra peanut butter and a fully stocked field station kitchen? Make cookies! Kudos to Karen Heeter for making incredible cookies that rose without baking powder or soda!

After a few nights of cold-weather primitive camping, we're thankful to be staying the next 3 nights at Kibbe Biological Station! We're celebrating with a homemade pie from Karen!

Late night plot inventory after a cold and wet day on the Upper Mississippi. 67 trees in plot 1, respectable!

Dendro fieldwork in Iowa can be cold in November. But the return of colleague Justin Maxwell's Manbun is getting things heated up!

Big shout out to Rich Gibbs and Danny King for refinishing the tree-ring fire history display on campus! Before and after:

Congrats to undergraduate research assistant Danny King, who beat out the stiff competition to claim the integral WANG KANG trophy for the first wing cook-off! Danny's winning recipe was an amazing dirty buffalo sauce over fried wings. Danny will defend his title in the spring at the next wing-off!
