background
In February 1998, with the sponsorship of the US National Science Foundation and of IGBP-PAGES, the first dendrochronological conference in South East Asia, 'SEA DENDRO', was held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with more than 50 scientists and students from 15 countries.
A follow-up one-week dendrochronological training course, 'Field Week 99', was held in January 1999 hosted by Chiang Mai University and Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden. In June 2006, the one-week 7th Dendrochronological World Conference has taken place in Beijing, China, during which an Asian Dendrochronological Society was founded to bring together scientists in tree-ring research and related fields from all over Asia under a joint umbrella.
Meanwhile, the existence of true annual tree rings in many tropical and subtropical tree species has opened up a wide range of applications of tree-ring research in wood anatomy, tree physiology, botany and forest science. In particular, the potentialities of tree-ring research for the reconstruction of past climate are worldwide acknowledged. The speed at which greenhouse gases and temperature have been rising during the recent past has given urgency to intensify the studies of past climatic dynamics, above all in the subtropical/tropical climate belt. Therefore, a Conference (plus Workshop) is intended to focus on and summarize the most recent scientific achievements in this multidisciplinary field in Southeast Asia, to arrange innovative joint projects and last but not least to introduce graduate students and young scientists from Asian countries into this promising field. It is generally agreed, that before questions on future climatic developments, e.g. of the South East Asian Monsoon, can be reliably be answered, we need deeper knowledge on the dynamics of the climate of the past. Due to the lack of other proxy records, dendrochronology might be the only method to provide data of past climate by studying old-grown living trees, tree logs, fallen trees, tree stumps, and more and more archaeological timbers in the area under consideration.
The scope of the meetings includes all fields of dendroecology, such as tree rings and
  • taxonomy
  • archaeology
  • climate
  • geomorphology
  • fire history
  • hydrology
  • physiology
  • stable isotopes

aims
The aims of the intended conference/workshop are
  • to gather researchers in dendrochronology and other disciplines related to climate dynamics and forest science, so that they may present their most recent research achievements,
  • To offer a platform for undergraduate and graduate students and young scientists to present their projects and practice their English in a rather relaxed and informal atmosphere,
  • To organize cooperation and arrange tree-ring networks in Southeast Asia.
The results expected from this conference will give us a better understanding of the close relationship between monsoon climate and tree growth, and our tree-ring network envisaged for Asia will support a closer cooperation and exchange of data and ideas within this region.
