The Dendroclimatology Laboratory serves for the reconstruction of temporal and spatial variability of the climate of the past utilizing multi-parameter tree ring analysis.

Aims:

• to reconstruct the temporal and spatial variability of the climate of the past utilizing multi-parameter tree ring analysis
• to assess and verify the causes of climate change and its impact on woody plants
  
  

Tasks:

• quantitative analysis of the climate-signal transfer from atmosphere through soil …

The laboratory for microscopy focuses on the specific requirements of microfacies analysis of lake sediments, but also offers a wide range of possibilities for other applications. Sedimentological, petrographic and microfacies analyses on all kinds of covered and uncovered thin sections and polished sections with transmitted and incident light are performed.
