LABORATORY OF DENDROCHRONOLOGY

Activities

Educational: The laboratory provides practical education for students in the fields of Forestry and Ecology and Environmental Protection. It conducts scientific studies of graduates and PhD students in the scientific specialty "Forest land improvement, forest protection and special uses in forests". The learning process is ensured by studying modern dendrochronological methods for measuring, processing, analyzing and visualizing the results.

Scientific: The Laboratory of Dendrochronology conducts research and analyses on scientific projects. Modern research methods are being adopted and applied, and new approaches, if necessary, are being developed to solve specific problems in the field of dendrochronology.

Applied: The laboratory carries out expertise and other scientific and applied activities depending on the needs of the department and the university.

Facilities: The laboratory premises (office 320) is equipped with the following equipment and instruments:

  • Tools for field work: increment borers for collection of wood samples; saws; altimeter; binoculars; camera; magnifiers; compasses; long length roulettes; forest sprays; biodegradable tapes and more;
  • Tools for laboratory work: stereo and light microscopes; digital microscope; grinding machines with the necessary disks, tapes and other consumables; scanners for dendrochronological work (A3, 1600-1800 dpi); measuring table for tree rings with stereoscope and specialized software; rotary microtome; laboratory treatment tables and storage cabinets for dendrochronological probes.
  • Equipment for statistical analysis and computer processing: desktop and laptop computers; software for dendrochronological analysis (Cybis CooRecorder, CDendro, DendroStat, R, GTREND, RFA, DinoCapture, etc.); server with virtualization software, databases, web application platform; laser printer.
