This document discusses dendrogeomorphology, which is the study of geological evidence contained within tree rings. It provides three examples of studies using dendrogeomorphology to reconstruct past natural hazards: 1) A 1997 Nature study used tree rings to show that an earthquake and tsunami damaged the Cascadia subduction zone along the west coast of North America between 1700-1720. 2) Tree rings were able to converge on the year 1700 to show that earthquake hazards could affect Canada and the northwest U.S. 3) Dendrogeomorphic studies of trees in hazardous locations tend to be short because trees do not live long in such areas.
