6th Asian Dendrochronology Conference

The 6th Asian Dendrochronology Conference "A window to the world of Asian Dendrochronology" will be held from 24-30 November 2019 in Lucknow, India.

Venue

Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences
Lucknow

Description

The International Asian Dendrochronology Conference, under the banner of Asian Dendrochronological Association (ADA), is held every two years and is a meeting point for the scientific community carrying out tree-ring research in Asia.

The AsianDendro 2019 conference aims to promote the exchange of existing information and knowledge of tree-ring related studies in Asian countries. A galaxy of dendrochronologist working on multiple disciplines of tree-ring studies from various regions of Asia and other parts of the world will be participating in this conference. This gathering shall help address various issues and advancement occurring in the science of tree-rings towards climate change, geological phenomenon, biological and forestry related issues. This also opens the possibility to collaborate and to be acquainted with advanced techniques in dendrochronology.

Workshop

During the conference, a two-day workshop (29-30 November) will be organized, covering various new aspects of tree-rings.
