Multiple cores from the Arctic were analyzed by XRF methods to determine the western Arctic lithostratigraphy as expressed in its geochemistry. In general, glacial and interglacial events have distinctly different chemistry. During glacial events, the sediments have elevated Ti, Fe, Rb, and Zr conce...
