  • The Dendroclimatological Potential of Common Yew (Taxus baccata L.) from Southern Azerbaijan

    Farid Seyfullayev, Scott St George et al.ARTICLETree-Ring Research2021

    Paleoclimate reconstructions from tree rings have so far been restricted to the western and northern Caucasus, and there have been no published tree-ring studies on any topic from the Republic of Azerbaijan in the eastern Caucasus. Here we report the first tree-ring study conducted in Azerbaijan and show that, in the southern part of the country, the common yew (Taxus baccata L.) has potential to provide annually-resolved paleoclimate information…

  • The need for paleoflood investigations on the American reach of the Red River of the North

    Open AccessScott St George, Joseph Zeleznik et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021References: 3

    Over the past century, the Red River of the North has been the least stationary river in the continental United States. In Canada, historical and paleoenvironmental evidence indicates severe floods were common during the early 1800s, with the record ce 1826 flood having an estimated peak discharge 50% higher than the second-most severe flood ever observed. Unfortunately, the recorded history of flooding upstream in the United States does not begi…

  • New ages for shoreline stumps along Lake Winnipeg, Canada, and their implications for paleo-lake level estimates

    Open AccessScott St George, Max C A Torbenson et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014References: 1

    As the largest body of water on the northern Great Plains of North America, Lake Winnipeg in central Manitoba, Canada, is crucial to the region’s hydrology, economy, and society. Previous research identified exposed subfossil stumps at several locations along the shore in both the lake’s north and south basins, and interpreted them as evidence of low lake levels c. ad 1650 caused in part by reduced inflows. Here, we report new radiocarbon dates f…

  • The seasonality of precipitation signals embedded within the North American Drought Atlas

    Open AccessScott St George, David M Meko et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2010Cited by: 3References: 1

    We examine how the seasonality of precipitation signals embedded within the North American Drought Atlas varies across the continent. Instrumental records of average summer (JJA) Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) are characterized by major regional differences in the relative importance of precipitation during summer and winter (DJF). The Atlas, which is based on a network of drought-sensitive tree-ring records, is able to reproduce the main g…

  • Regional tree growth and inferred summer climate in the Winnipeg River basin, Canada, since AD 1783

    Open AccessScott St George, David M Meko et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2008

    A network of 54 ring-width chronologies is used to estimate changes in summer climate within the Winnipeg River basin, Canada, since AD 1783. The basin drains parts of northwestern Ontario, northern Minnesota and southeastern Manitoba, and is a key area for hydroelectric power production. Most chronologies were developed from Pinus resinosa and P. strobus , with a limited number of Thuja occidentalis , Picea glauca and Pinus banksiana . The domin…

  • Palaeoflood records for the Red River, Manitoba, Canada, derived from anatomical tree-ring signatures

    Open AccessScott St George, Erik NielsenARTICLEThe Holocene2003Cited by: 3References: 3

    Palaeoflood records for the Red River in southern Manitoba, Canada, were derived from anatomical tree-ring signatures in Quercus macrocarpa (Michx) collected at 16 living-tree sites, several historical buildings and archaeological sites, and subfossil logs buried in river alluvium. Prolonged inundation of trees during spring and early summer induces the development of anatomical anomalies (flood rings) that provide a proxy record of extreme flood…

  • Hydroclimatic Change in Southern Manitoba Since A.D. 1409 Inferred from Tree Rings

    Open AccessScott St George, Erik NielsenARTICLEQuaternary Research2002

    A record of estimated annual (prior August to current July) precipitation derived from a regional bur oak ( Quercus macrocarpa Michx.) tree-ring chronology indicates that southern Manitoba's hydroclimate has been relatively stable over the last 200 yr. Although this stability was interrupted briefly by pronounced wet intervals in the late A.D. 1820s and 1850s, hydroclimatic conditions since permanent Euro-Canadian settlement were much less variab…
