Indication of Holocene sea-level stability in the southern Laptev Sea recorded by beach ridges in north-east Siberia, Russia

The rapid warming of the Arctic may affect the stability of coastal geomorphological systems.Prograded sequences of wave-built deposits, so-called Jackets/Outerwear beach-ridge systems, preserve a proxy record of the long-term variability in the drivers of coastal evolution.Information on relative sea level (RSL), climate forcing and sediment suppl
