520			_a"For anyone fluent in the arcane language of tree rings, this archive [Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona] has countless stories to tell. The samples stored here yield intricate maps of ancient droughts, fires, cold snaps, and heat waves. They help show, with sobering certainty, that the earth is heating up as never before. They also reveal that the current drought in the West is part of a long and brutal tradition of dry spells, a tradition we can expect to continue--and possibly worsen--in the future." (HIGH COUNTRY NEWS) This article examines how tree rings not only reveal a tree's age but also indicate past climate changes.
