Tree ring researchers are exploring the lives of sea creatures that document climate change just like trees do. The University of Arizona’s Bryan Black reveals studies of underwater life like corals and rockfish which match a climate history also revealed in tree rings on land.

Bryan Black spoke with Leslie Tolbert, Ph. D. Regent’s professor emerita in Neuroscience at the University of Arizona.
