In this paper, we present the package detrendeR, a Graphical User Interface to facilitate the visualization and analysis of dendrochronological data, using the R computing environment. This package offers an easy way to perform most of the traditional tasks in dendrochronology: detrending, chronology building and graphical presentation of time series. The advantage of detrendeR, compared with the program ARSTAN, is the graphical interface that provides the user with an easy way to use R language, rich in graphics and handling routines, with no need to type commands. The detrendeR uses a simple and familiar dialog-box interface and it can read Tucson decadal-format files (*.rwl and *.crn) as well as plain text files. In addition, detrendeR has the ability to test temporal changes of the common signal using moving intervals. The detrendeR should make it easier to perform detrending and chronology building of tree-ring series, taking advantage of the R statistical programming environment.
