Presenter: Dave Meeko, research professor in the UA's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research

About the talk: The great Eurasian Arctic rivers affect earth's global climate system with their supply of fresh water and heat to the the Arctic Ocean. University of Arizona researchers are teaming up with Russian researchers to search for evidence of large floods in rings of larch, pine and other tree species along the Ob River.

About Science Cafes: Science Cafes, presented by the UA College of Science, bring the community together with UA scientists and graduate students in a casual setting. You'll learn about the latest research being conducted, get to know the faces behind the science, and have opportunities to ask questions and deepen your understanding. We have five separate cafe series at five different locations around Tucson, each with their own themes for fascinating science discussions.
