Bayesian analysis of 210Pb dating [PDF]
In many studies of environmental change of the past few centuries, 210Pb dating is used to obtain chronologies for sedimentary sequences. One of the most commonly used approaches to estimate the ages of depths in a sequence is to assume a constant rate of supply (CRS) or influx of `unsupported' 210Pb from the atmosphere, together with a constant or ...

At this moment there is a gap in information regarding the affect roots might have on 210Pb distribution in peat cores and in turn the obtained chronologies by 210Pb dating. Therefore, four peat cores were collected from the snow manipulation study site within the mire complex Storflaket (68°20048″N, 18°58016″E).

Determination of 210Pb in environmental samples
Measurement of 210Pb has gained a highly scientific attention due to its wide range of environmental applications. The most commonly used analytical techniques: gamma-spectrometry, beta-counting and alpha-spectrometry were used to measure environmental samples (geological, soil, sediment). Our paper is aiming at comparing the capabilities and limits of

The paper presents the systematic investigations on the activity concentrations of 210Po and 210Pb in the riverine environs of Bharathapuzha, Periyar and Kallada, the three major rivers of coastal Kerala. The radionuclides 210Po and 210Pb in sediment and

According to the limit of detection (DL) presented in ISO 11929:2010, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) abandoned the concept of minimum detectable amount (MDA) described in ISO 12790-1:2001. In this work we demonstrate and discuss

Aerosol deposition and origin in French mountains estimated with soil inventories of 210Pb and artificial radionuclides [PDF]
Radionuclide inventories were measured in soils from different French mountainous areas: Chaîne des Puys (Massif Central), Eastern Corsica, Jura, Montagne Noire, Savoie, Vosges and Rhine Valley. 210Pb soil inventories were used to estimate long-term (>75

Preliminary study of sediment ages and accumulation rates has been carried out in Jakarta Bay using unsupported 210Pb. 210Pb occurs naturally in sediments as one of the radioisotopes in the 238U decay series. The total 210Pb activity in sediments has two

Sedimentary processes in the Thau Lagoon (France): From seasonal to century time scales [PDF]
As a part of the MICROBENT programme, an investigation of the sedimentation framework was carried out at the water-sediment interface in the Thau Lagoon (French Mediterranean coast). Two main sites, C4 in the middle of the lagoon and C5 near oyster farms,

Application of the radionuclide 210Pb in glaciology – an overview
210Pb is an environmental radionuclide with a half-life of 22.3 years, formed in the atmosphere via radioactive decay of radon (222Rn). 222Rn itself is a noble gas with a half-life of 3.8 days and is formed via radioactive decay of uranium (238U ...
