Biography
David Meko applies tree-ring data to study the variability of climate and hydroclimate on time scales of centuries to millennia. He works primarily on streamflow reconstruction, and specializes in statistical model development. He has also collected tree-ring sites across western North America and contributed tree-ring chronologies to the International Tree-Ring Data Bank. He regularly teaches a course in time series analysis.
