North American Dendroecological Fieldweeks
Dr. van de Gevel has incorporated her tree-ring research into lectures and laboratories for multiple grade levels (kindergarten through university instruction) for the past seven years. Her research has been integrated into education programs of the National Science Foundation GK-12 Earth Science Project at University of Tennessee, the Tennessee Geographic Alliance, and the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center. She has supervised undergraduate and graduate students as a Group Leader at four North American Dendroecological Fieldweeks (2004 in Minnesota, 2005 in Idaho, 2007 in Tennessee, and 2009 in Massachusetts).
The North American Dendroecological Fieldweek (NADEF) provides an intensive learning experience in dendrochronology. Previous experience in field and laboratory-based tree-ring techniques is not required. Participants range from new initiates in the field to seasoned veterans with over 20 years or longer of experience. Group leaders of the fieldweek are
among the top scientists in the various fields of global environmental change. Everybody that participates in the fieldweeks learns new things because the projects and locations are different every year.
