Kulyumbe River Tree Ring Chronology For Paleoclimate Reconstruction

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archives a tree ring chronology dataset from the Kulyumbe River region in Russia. The data provides a proxy climate record spanning from 289 to -40 calendar years before present. This study, archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, was last updated in 1990.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature and precipitation anomalies by analyzing annual tree-ring width series.
• Calibrate climate proxy models using the dated chronology from 289 to -40 years BP.
• Study regional climate events in Eastern Europe by correlating the Kulyumbe River chronology with other Siberian tree-ring records.
• Validate radiocarbon dating or other chronological methods against this established dendrochronological series.

Strengths

• Provides a dated environmental proxy record covering a 329-year period.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA/NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage ends at -40 BP, with no recent data; the last update was in 1990.
• Specific parameters, sample depth, and measurement columns are not detailed in the provided metadata.
