Sediment deposition and accumulation rates determined by sediment trap and 210Pb isotope methods in the Outer Puck Bay (Baltic Sea)
Two methods – in situ sediment trap experiments and an isotopic method based on measurements of 210Pb activities in the sediment cores taken near the traps – were applied for determining sediment deposition and sediment accumulation rates in the eastern part of Puck Bay. The sediment deposition rate...

| description | Two methods – in situ sediment trap experiments and an isotopic method based on measurements of 210Pb activities in the sediment cores taken near the traps – were applied for determining sediment deposition and sediment accumulation rates in the eastern part of Puck Bay. The sediment deposition rate (1.67 mm year−1) based on the in situ measurement was comparable with the sediment accumulation rate calculated using the Constant Flux:Constant Sedimentation Rate model for the isotopic method. The age of the sediment layers was determined with the Constant Rate of Supply model; the deepest layers had accumulated around 1900. |
