A multi-century tree-ring record of spring flooding on the Mississippi River

Really proud of this article that my former grad student Emma Bialecki and I recently published. This work developed out of Emma’s masters research at Big Oak Tree State Park in southern Missouri. It is the first publication to report using flood rings in bottomland hardwoods to develop long flood history records for the Mississippi River.
