Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction

Understand the Past

We can't perfectly rebuild what environments looked like in the past, but by using trace elements and isotopes we can come close to it

Written history only goes back 5,000 or so years. To go back farther, we need to rely on indirect signals from nature, ranging from trace elemental variation to stable isotope proxies. With careful measurement and detailed analysis, we can reconstruct the environments of the past using subtle signals in the data.

At Decision Tree, LLC, we have worked everywhere from dinosaur paleontology to the archaeology of complex civilizations. While methods differ from field to field, we bring a well-balanced interdisciplinary approach to our reconstruction of past environments.
