Abstract
High-resolution pollen records from several sites, along with regional reconstructions from data in the North American Pollen Database provide quantitative paleoclimate estimates of the past 1000 years across northern North America. Using the modern analogue method and calibration data from the North American Modern Pollen Database, these reconstructions show not only a long term (neoglacial) cooling but also millennial-scale variability such as the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period. This variability is seen across all of Canada, the Arctic and northern United States, with more pronounced variations in the central portion of the continent.
