Abstract
A site chronology for a location in southcentral location known as Hub City Bog was created using tamarack (Larix laricina) cores collected in 2008. The cores were collected using a Haglof 5.14mm increment borer and preserved on core mounts using standard dendrochronological processing methods. The cores were sanded to 400-grit ANSI polish and measured using CDendro/CooRecorder 9.8.1 and 2400 DPI scans of each core sample. The chronology was developed in dplR via interactive detrending to produce an averaged chronology of tamarack for Hub City Bog. The chronology and raw ring width data were submitted to the International Tree Ring Databank for permanent storage as a proxy record via the National Center for Environmental Information.
