Dendrochronology is the study of what?
Tree-ring dating. It is the science of determining the age of trees by counting the rings of growth across the trunk of the tree. In general terms, a tree adds a new ring… or layer of growth each year. From this information it is possible to identify, and date, periods of climatic change. By matching the 'overlapping' ring patterns from trees of different time periods it is also possible to date events well beyond the dates that can be determined from the study of just one tree. Bristlecone pines are favourite trees for dendrochronolgists, because they live a very, very long time! See Related Links below ads... (MORE)

What is the root word of dendrochronology?
Dendrochronology actually is actually made up of two root words. The root word "Dendron" is Greek in origin and means "trees" and the root word "chronos" is Greek in origi…n and means time. Therefore, dendrochronology means the dating of trees by examining their rings. (MORE)

Typology Polynology Dendrochronology in Anthropology?
Typology Note: Anthropology from Greek anthrÅpos, "human"; logia) is the study of humanity. Anthropology has origins in the natural sciences, and the humanities. Ethnogr…aphy is both one of its primary methods and the text that is written as a result of the practice of anthropology and its elements. Typology Means a division (type) in the study of humans, their culture and agricultural means. In regards to agriculture it can means a 'division of clear cutting a forest' to a division of the human species by races. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, anthropologists used a typological model to divide people from different ethnic regions into races (negroid, Caucasoid, mongoloid which was part of the racial system defined by Carleton S. Coon.) This approach focused on traits that are readily observable from a distance such as head shape, skin color, hair form, body build and stature. The typological model was built on the assumption that humans can be assigned to a race based on similar physical traits. Author Dennis O'Neil has stated that typological model in anthropology is now thoroughly discredited. Current mainstream thinking is that the morphological traits are due to simple variations in specific regions and are the effect of climatic selective evidence. This theory is still under debate. Polynology Poloynology deals with the study of pollen grains. The word 'polynology' was named by Hyde and Williams in 1845. The pollen grain represents first cell of male gametophytic generation. The pollen denser cytoplasm with haploid nucleus spore coat called 'sporoderm.' Dendrochronology Estimates the age of trees by correlation of the various growth rings in their wood to known year by year reference sequences in the region to reflect year to year climatic variations. Dendrochronology is used in turn as a calibration reference for radiocarbon dating curves. The data is useful for the dating of historical wooden artifacts (furniture, church beams, musical instruments etc.) by finding a best fit of the artifacts growth ring thicknesses with that of the built up "standard" ring series.

What are sources of dendrochronology energy?
A dendrothermal power plant produces electricity by burning wood, usually from quick growing plantations. Any sort of burning releases carbon dioxide (among other residues),… however, the carbon from these trees was taken from the atmosphere recently (in the past few years) rather than millions of years ago, like coal and oil.

How does dendrochronology assist radiocarbon dating?
Tree rings provided truly known-age material needed to check the accuracy of radiocarbon dating as a method. During the late 1950s, several scientists (notably the Dutchman He…ssel de Vries) were able to confirm the discrepancy between radiocarbon ages and calendar ages through results gathered from radiocarbon dating tree rings dated through dendrochronology. Today, tree rings are still used to calibrate radiocarbon determinations. Libraries of tree rings of different calendar ages are now available to provide records extending back over the last 11,000 years. Source: http://www.radiocarbon.eu/tree-ring-calibration.htm (MORE)
