Collaborators

We are conducting fieldwork in Indonesia with the cooperation of LIPI, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences. Our principal collaborator is Dr. Satria Bijaksana, a professor and dean at the  Institut Teknologi Bandung  (ITB) in Bandung, Java. Dr. Bijaksana and his associates, Dr. La Ode Ngkoimani, and Dr. Siti Zulaikah have provided immeasurable assistance to our project.  Together we have  established  a tree-ring laboratory at their institute in order to facilitate our Indonesian tree-ring studies. Additionally, Drs. Bijaksana, Ngkoimani, and Zulaikah have each visited our laboratory for training in dendrochronology. Many others have assisted with logistics and in identifying possible sites and species in Indonesia.

This research is presently funded by the National Science Foundation's Asian Monsoon project (OCE 04-02474).  Additional funds were obtained from NOAA, and we   also receive non-financial support from the Inter-American Institute (IAI).).
