The Lab’s tree ring work in the U.S. Southwest documents a history of drought. Ed Cook (above) published a landmark paper in 2004 describing past mega droughts that extended for hundreds of years. Later work with the bristlecone pines tracked 1,100 years of El Nino/La Nina fluctuations. Photo by Paul Krusic
