Introductory: The aim of the 2008 NADEF Introductory Group was to learn how to construct a tree-ring chronology, apply various analytical methodologies, and compare chronologies to instrumental climate data. |

Dendroentomology: This group will use tree rings to reconstruct a history of forest pest outbreaks. Candidate insects include Douglas-fir tussock moth, mountain pine beetle, and western spruce budworm. |

Fire History: This group will use fire scar and increment core samples to develop a fire history in a forest characterized by a mixed-severity fire regime. |

Dendrogeomorphology: This group will reconstruct avalanche history using tree-ring techniques. Tree age and scar analysis of living and dead material will be used to estimate frequency-magnitude relationships. |

Dendroclimatology: This group will develop early- and late-wood chronologies using the WinDendro image analysis system in order to reconstruct selected climatic parameters over the past several centuries. Ideally these chronologies will provide a context for understanding the other group projects. |
