Abstract

The tree-ring analysis of about forty Larches was carried out as a support of the geomorphological and glacial geological studies conducted in the area. The relationship between dendrochronological data, lichenometrical analysis, iconographic documents, 14C dates, allows the reconstruction of the recent frontal variations of the Lobbia and Mandrone glaciers. Furthermore, by comparing the dendrochronological data with the iconographic documents it was possible to obtain a first evaluation of the Larch colonization time for this sector of the Adamello Group (13-17 years).
