ABSTRACT

The Australia-New Zealand Tree-Ring Conference was held January 21–23, 2025, at Waipapa Taumata Rau/University of Auckland, in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It was intended to provide an opportunity for the Australian and New Zealand dendrochronological researchers to meet, present current research, and discuss the challenges and opportunities in working with Southern Hemisphere tree species, but it was open to others outside of Australasia, including some keynote speakers. The meeting brought together many researchers from within and outside academia for the first time since the pandemic, and in addition to providing a look at current interesting and ongoing dendrochronology projects, it promoted camaraderie for this regional tree-ring community.
