Life in the Greenhouse documents the effects of the rising concentration of carbon in our atmosphere. Season Two: Trees Remember shares the story of scientists studying what trees in the Southwest remember about drought. We investigate what tree memory means for the concentration of carbon in our atmosphere and for human life in the greenhouse we call Earth. In Season One, we use greenhouse gas accounting as a tool to analyze the hype coming from oil and gas companies about their clean energy developments, providing a crash course in emissions measurement and reduction along the way.

S2 E2: Tree Ring Detectives

How do scientists gather information from tree rings? In episode two of Season Two: Trees Remember, we take you with us as two scientists gather tree core samples in the forest and then process them into a treasure trove of information about tree memories of past climate. We explain how these scientists use tree rings in a unique way compared to past tree ring studies. And we explore why this team focuses on ecosystems where water is scarce and why that matters for humans.
