This file contains tree ring chronology data for various trees in Canada.

The data were collected so present tree ring chronologies could be compared with other forms of proxy data with the purpose of reconstructing past climatic records. An effort was made to collect from the oldest and most climatically sensitive trees on the site. Corollary objectives were to evaluate the dendrochronological quality of trees from this area and to produce tree ring chronologies which could be used for dating purposes.

There are 18 files representing tree ring chronology data for 18 individual trees. As a result, there is one file for each tree sampled at the site.

Files were migrated from a binary data structure and placed on new preservation media in 2016.
