  3. Tree Story by Valerie Trouet, 2020

    The History of the World Written in Rings
    Children around the world know that to tell how old a tree is, you count its rings. Few people, however, know that research into tree rings has also made amazing contributions to our understanding of Earth's climate history and its influences on human civilization over the past 2,000 years.

  4. Does anyone know how this happens? At first I thought it might have been the imprint of some type of log grabbing machine but having looked closer the rings seem to follow the pattern. Interesting! Ideas anyone?

  5. Pseudoscience enthusiasts (myself included) will need to delete a few items from their conspiracy boards.

  7. A massive solar storm hit the Earth 14,300 years ago, leaving traces in tree rings. The storm was 10 times stronger than any recorded in modern history and could have caused widespread auroras and geomagnetic disturbances. The storm could also provide clues to the origin and frequency of such events, which could threaten modern technology. #SolarStorm #TreeRings #History timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ho
