Abstract

Progress is summarized on development of tree-ring chronologies (Sieg et al., In press), preliminary analyses on the relationship between annual tree-ring widths and both precipitation and soil moisture (Ni 1993), and efforts to identify climatic regions (Bunkers 1993) and drought patterns (Bunkers et al. 1993) from climatic records.
