Empire, Trees, and Climate in the North Atlantic: Towards Critical Dendro-Provenancing, is a project that brings together international scholars in the humanities and physical sciences to creatively combine historical research, dendro-provenancing (e.g. analysis of tree ring widths of historic buildings and shipwrecks), marine archaeology, and geo-visualization techniques to critically reconstruct the ‘socio-biophysical landscape’ (Lave et al. 2014) of the British North Atlantic.  The group received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for the project.  Dr. Greer is the project director.
