6. Recording trees for glacier fluctuations
Dendroglaciology is defined as the reconstruction of glacial fluctuations through the analysis of tree rings . This discipline therefore includes the dating of moraines with living or subfossil trees, but also the reconstruction of glacial mass paleobilans using dendrochronological series. By extension, the (more indirect) attempt to link fluctuations in the upper limit of trees to variations in the glacial equilibrium line can also fall within this framework.
Dendroglaciology is confined to regions where glaciers have interfered with the montane stage during the Holocene, excluding mountain massifs under arid...
