Abstract
Tree-ring chronologies have been identified as reliable proxy records that can be used to reconstruct a number of climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and streamflow. Significant correlations between standardized tree-ring widths and measured streamflow in the Churchill River Basin have provided over 200 years of streamflow reconstruction for that region. The objective of this paper is to report on preliminary results of dendrohydrological investigations in the Saskatchewan River Basin. Tree-ring chronologies collected from the southern foothills in 2003 and central foothills in 2004 will be discussed in regards to overall patterns, spatial coherency, and correlation to local climate data. Comparison of tree-ring chronologies to streamflow, as well as a few well known atmospheric forcing indices will also be made.
