Changing Climate: Is the Frequency of Climate Extremes increasing?
Climate change affects all regions of the earth. However, the climate seems to be changing most rapidly in the arctic and subarctic regions. Climate change manifests itself not only in a mere alteration of average temperatures or of average precipitation, but in an altered frequency of climate extremes. This aspect of climate change has so far hardly been investigated. A reconstruction of the occurrence of climate extremes in Eurasia along the northern tree limit over the last 500 years is intended to check whether climate extremes have in fact become more frequent during this period. Since different types of structural anomalies of tree rings correspond to different extreme climatic conditions, the reconstruction will be based on an analysis of the types, the temporal and spatial distribution and the intensity of structural anomalies of tree rings in various coniferous species which grow at the northern tree limit in Europe and Asia.
