Tree Rings: Counting the Years of Global Warming
Loading...
Uploaded by workinsync on Jun 3, 2007
While politicians dance around the rhetoric of the global warming issue, director Liz Smith takes us to the scientific front lines as researchers attempt to track global climate change, and find patterns that help us understand how humans are affecting the future of the planet. Dendrochronologist Lisa Graumlich, of Montana State University, uses tree rings as a living record of where Earth's climate has been, and where it is going. Smith joins Graumlich on a sample-gathering expedition into the serene highlands surrounding Yellowstone National Park, where the rings of ancient trees provide a sterling historical record of climate change. Graumlich then enters the scientific laboratories of the Big Sky Institute, where she is able to show graphic evidence of human activity's effect on our climate.
Made possible with a grant from the National Science Foundation EPSCoR program as part of the Montana State University's M.F.A. in Science and Natural History Filmmaking program.
