I then moved to Saskatchewan to do my MSc degree at the University of Saskatchewan working on sub-fossil Pliocene wood from the Arctic. After deciding I really needed to know more about tree rings if I was going to continue using them for climate reconstructions I moved to Arizona to do a PhD at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona. I took a short break from tree rings during my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alaska-Anchorage where I worked on a study in Greenland looking at radiocarbon measurements of riverine carbon to determine the contribution of thawing permafrost to the carbon cycle . Prior to taking up my current position I worked as an Assistant Professor at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario and at the Desert Research Institute in Reno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a recent CV see below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b0cb5e63-e2b9-4336-b495-2dbf9b339027\" href=\"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Csank_CV_2023_long-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Csank_CV_2023_long<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Csank_CV_2023_long-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-b0cb5e63-e2b9-4336-b495-2dbf9b339027\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a fun quick read on how I got where I am you can see the blog I wrote for NICHE &#8220;Learning to read the more than human archives: dendrochronology and talkative trees.&#8221; I grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada and became interested in paleoclimatology and tree-ring science as an undergraduate at Dalhousie University where [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153,"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions\/153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/azcsank.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
