This April, I visited Ed Cook, a dendrochronologist at Columbia University’s Tree-Ring Lab, just north of Manhattan.
- Role: setting
- In the article: In April the author interviews Ed Cook at the Columbia tree-ring lab, which Cook helped found in 1975. Cook explains the drought atlas and how tree rings are cored, counted and read.
- Why it matters: Minor framing setting: the lab is where the essay’s scientific explanation is delivered. The text does not name Lamont-Doherty; that identification is inferred (the Tree-Ring Lab is housed at the Lamont-Doherty campus, Palisades, north of Manhattan).
