AEG Oregon Chapter- November Meeting
Abstract:
Pat will be delving into the multiple uses of dendrochronology in the Pacific Northwest, with examples dating the Old Maid eruption of Mount Hood to late(?)1781, Bonneville landslide (14461447 during dormancy), Electron Mudflow from Mount Rainier (late 1507), and Seattle and Saddle Mountain Faults to 923924. There are many landslide-dammed lakes in Washington, many of which we have radiocarbon ages on and that contain drowned subfossil trees could well be dated with dendrochronology.
