Lecture by Daniel Griffin, “Tree Rings and Monsoon Moisture History in the American Southwest”.  
In this lecture, Daniel showcases the development and interpretation of a robust network of tree-
ring data for the Arizona-New Mexico region, records that have been updated into the 21st century 
and re-analyzed for spring- and summer-specific growth variations. Southwestern tree rings 
provide centuries of quantitative perspective on seasonal drought history and highlight the 
potential for the summer monsoon to relieve or exacerbate drought conditions residual from 
preceding winter months.
