6. Recording trees for glacier fluctuations

Dendroglaciology is defined as the reconstruction of glacial fluctuations through the analysis of tree rings . This discipline therefore includes the dating of moraines with living or subfossil trees, but also the reconstruction of glacial mass paleobilans using dendrochronological series. By extension, the (more indirect) attempt to link fluctuations in the upper limit of trees to variations in the glacial equilibrium line can also fall within this framework.
