(Phys.org)—New findings from an international research team led by Western University geography professor Brian Luckman, based on tree-ring patterns, show unusual patterns of tree growth in the Southern Hemisphere relating to recent changes in the atmospheric circulation. This study, published by Nature Geoscience, is part of an international collaborative project funded by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, which includes scientists from Argentina, Chile and the United States with colleagues from Australia, New Zealand England and Switzerland.
