Abstract Six cores were collected from a small peatland on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, yielding up to 1.8 m of organic material and 1.2 m of ice-rich material. Stratigraphic relationships, radiocarbon dating, and pollen, plant macrofossil, and isotopic analyses are used to reconstruct the development...
