Abstract
A survey of the literature and data filed at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona reveals 94 tree-ring chronologies of potential use for climatic studies in the North American Arctic. Many of the older chronologies are inadequately replicated, but the geographic coverage in Alaska and the Yukon is good. The chronology statistics indicate their quality is limited and probably less than that of trees from the eastern and western United States sites. Much re-collection is needed to enlarge the chronologies and to extend the common period of overlap with the available climatic data. Future examination of the newer materials wlll provide a better indication of the true possibilities for climatic calibration and analysis.
