GAO Report on Data Sharing in Climate Science

The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) has issued a report as requested by the House Energy and Commerce Committee last year on data sharing in climate. The full report is here. The Republican press release is here . There are no signs that Lonnie Thompson will be required to archive his Dunde ice core sample […]

8 Measured Graybill Trees at Almagre

So far, I’ve received preliminary measurement data on 8 trees – all trees with Graybill tags. Today I’m providing some notes based on a first look at this data. As noted before, the archive identifications do not match the Graybill tags. Pete obtained some information which has enabled us to make a limited concordance. We […]

If there are topics that people would like to have covered in a thread, please make the suggestion here. But please don’t use this thread for extended debate of issues – even if they seem important […]

Almagre Strip Bark

I’ve got some preliminary measurement data back on several trees with Graybill tags in digital form. The dendro lab is working on cross-dating this week. The measurement data for our Tree #31 (Graybill 84-56), which Pete Holzmann posted a picture of earlier today, is very interesting. This is a strip-bark tree – remember that the […]

Almagre: the Graybill Photos

Christine Hallman of the University of Arizona LTRR has 4 photographs from Almagre from the Graybill collection. Although we didn’t have these matches in mind, there are some beautiful matches in Pete Holzmann’s photos, which Pete has collated below.

The Ababneh Thesis

As I mentioned yesterday, Malcolm Hughes and/or the University of Arizona Laboratory for Tree-Ring Research had gone to the trouble of blocking my IP address from accessing their website. Thanks to the help of a couple of CA readers, I was able to circumvent the block. This is the sort of petty behavior that gives […]

Sargasso Sea dO18

Recently Keigwin’s Sargasso Sea dO18 temperature reconstructions have been mentioned in the climate public eye. Keigwin’s reconstruction famously has a warm MWP as shown below. This reconstruction uses modern dO18 measurements at Station S to calibrate two cores (with modern Station S values specifically shown in the graphic below): I observed last year that the […]
