Summary
Understanding how extreme weather varies in type, magnitude, and frequency is critical for anticipating future risks to the social, ecological, and economic security of the nation. This project will use novel methods of tree-ring analysis to produce detailed records of past rainfall and temperature extremes during the last millennium across temperate North America. The project will also develop accessible visual materials and tutorials, connecting students across wide-ranging fields to create a unique project-based learning environment that enhances participation and capacity in the STEM workf
