| Summary: | The Mongolian-AmericanTree-Ring Project was
initiated
in
1995
to develop
longer
climatic
records
in Mongolia
and
to
help establish capabilities
in Mongolia for independent tree-ring analyses.
The
records
from old-aged
trees
can
provide more complete
information
about
the
variations
in the
climate
system and
aid
in planning
for future changes
or
variations
in climate.
Many
areas of Mongolia have
been investigated
and
tree-ring samples
collected.
Dendroclimatic records of temperature extending
back
more
than
one
thousand years and
precipitation records
of
over 300 years have
been
developed.
These records show
that
global
warming
is present
in
Mongolia and that variations
in
precipitation and stream-flow appear
to
show
some solar influence. Scientists and students trained
by
,the
project
are
now
engaged
in
tree-ring
studies
in
various
areas
of
Mongolia.
The
project
is expected
to
continue
for the
next several years. |
