New Zealand Tree Ring Chronology from 723 to 101 BP

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring chronology from Creche, 32 Wynyard Street in New Zealand. The data covers parameters related to tree rings over a period from 723 to 101 calendar years before present. This archived study is maintained by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Analyze tree ring width or density parameters to reconstruct past climate variability in New Zealand.
• Correlate the tree ring chronology with other regional paleoclimate proxies for validation.
• Use the geographic location data to study site-specific environmental responses over the 622-year period.

Strengths

• Time period coverage spans 622 calendar years (723 to 101 BP).
• Data is archived and curated by the authoritative NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information.

Limitations

• Specific parameters, column names, and sample sizes are unknown.
• The temporal coverage ends at 101 BP, limiting analysis of the most recent millennia.
• The last metadata update date recorded is 1849, indicating potentially stale metadata.
