University of Oregon doctoral student Monika Ruwaimana, right, collects peat core samples with team members at a site on Borneo. The team's study, published in Environmental Research Letters, resets the dating of what may the world's oldest peatlands and provides an archive of new data on climate changes in the tropical peat.
