The number and range of Holocene palaeoclimate reconstructions from various regions of the world have increased dramatically over the last decade. The data density for many regions and proxies now offers the potential of robust regional-scale reconstructions that avoid the problems of records from individual sites, and improve communication between palaeoclimate subdisciplines and climate modellers. However, there are problems with chronological uncertainties and quantification of proxies, which make compilation of multiple records difficult. Here we explore a ‘stacking’ and ‘tuning’ approach to the derivation of regional records from peatland climate proxies to test its applicability to non-annually resolved terrestrial records. Twelve individual records from northern Britain based on water table reconstructions from testate amoebae analysis were divided into four regions. Records were detrended, normalised …
