Description :
This study investigates the use of Asp racemization for improving upon the resolution of the chronology of Arctic marine deposits provided by isoleucine epimerization. Analyses were carried out on time series of samples from 3 areas: northern Alaska, Baffin Island, and Spitsbergen. Discussion of the results.
