Rate My Professor Trevis Matheus

Matheus's research output includes peer-reviewed publications in leading journals. Notable works are 'Dendroclimatic reconstructions from multiple co-occurring species: a case study from an old-growth deciduous forest in Indiana, USA' (International Journal of Climatology, 2015), 'Late summer temperature variability for the Southern Rocky Mountains (USA) since 1735 CE: applying blue light intensity to low-latitude Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm' (Climatic Change, 2020), 'Sampling density and date along with species selection influence spatial representation of tree-ring reconstructions' (Climate of the Past, 2020), 'A dendrochronological evaluation of three historic pioneer cabins at Spring Mill Village, Indiana' (Dendrochronologia, 2017), 'Placing modern droughts in historical context in the Ohio Valley using tree-rings' (Physical Geography, 2018), and 'A method for measuring sub-annual ring widths of Pinus edulis for seasonal climate reconstructions' (Tree-Ring Research, 2017). His dissertation, 'A 332-year reconstruction of Midwest droughts from tree-rings' (Indiana University, 2014), exemplifies his early contributions. These studies have garnered over 100 citations and inform understandings of historical droughts, temperature variability, and wildfire recovery, as seen in Yosemite research. Matheus teaches courses including Meteorology, mentors students on field studies like Mountain Field Geography, and provides expertise through university news on tree rings, heat waves, and climate.
