33 to -46 calendar years BP of tree ring parameters from Grayling, Michigan, United States. This paleoclimatology study is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. The data was published or last updated in 1996.

Use Cases

• Analyze annual tree ring width variations to reconstruct past climate conditions.
• Correlate the tree ring chronology with other paleoclimate proxies for the Michigan region.
• Study the response of Grayling trees to climatic events recorded in the ring parameters.
• Validate climate model simulations for the period covered by the tree ring data.

Strengths

• Time period coverage spans 79 calendar years (33 to -46 BP).
