A total of 357 samples taken from two long cores (Taglu, Kumak) drilled in the Mackenzie River delta have been investigated paleomagnetically. Remanence and susceptibility were measured in the field while the samples were still frozen. Profiles of susceptibility (5772 measurements) permit lateral co...
