Abstract

Glacial and marine deposits associated with 2 phases of glaciation are exposed along a 60km corridor on Ellesmere Island that borders Robeson Channel. The Holocene and pre-Holocene glacial and marine chronologies in the Robeson Channel area are similar to chronologies demonstrated from other locations in Arctic regions. Tentative correlations based upon aminostratigraphy suggest that the field area has remained, for the most part, ice-free since at least 70 000 BP.
