Abstract The Pleistocene lithostratigraphy exposed on northern Richards Island comprises seven units that correlate with the offshore seismostratigraphy of the eastern Beaufort Continental Shelf. Land‐sea correlations, cryostratigraphic observations and proxy indicators of environmental change provi...
