210 Pb, 137 Cs and 7 Be in the sediments of coastal lakes on the polish coast: Implications for sedimentary processes

In this study we combined radioisotopes (210Pb, 137Cs and 7Be) and hydrodynamic modeling to investigate sedimentary processes in three coastal lakes on the Polish Baltic coast. The research aimed at establishing the depth of sediment mixing and its effects on sediment geochemistry as well as showing the relationship between lake water salinity and radionuclide distribution in the sediment cores. We established that the intensity of mixing...
