本文介绍了用＾２１０Ｐｂ和＾２３９Ｐｕ测定Ｓａｇｕｅｎａｙ湾沉积速率。在沉积物中过剩＾２１０Ｐｂ的比活度随着深度的增加呈指数衰减,但在柱状样８２－０７２的４５ｃｍ处和８２－１４７的６ｃｍ处,过剩＾２１０Ｐｂ的比活度发生突变。这可能与１９７１年发生的陆倾有关。用＾２１０Ｐｂ方法测得柱状样８２－０７２和８２－１４７的沉积速率分别为３．５０ｃｍ／ａ和０．４９ｃｍ／ａ,与用＾２３９Ｐｕ方法测得的沉积速率３     

~(239)Pu在伯劳特湾沉积物中的分布特征

伯劳特湾中沉积物的沉积速率在０．１３～０．３３ｃｍ ／ａ 之间,平均值为０．２３ｃｍ ／ａ。事故释放的２３９Ｐｕ 在各个站位中的垂直分布在次表层都有一个最大值,这个值出现在５～７ｃｍ 深处。在最大值之前２３９Ｐｕ 的比活度随深度的增加呈指数增加,最大值之后迅速下降到本底水平。事故释放的２３９Ｐｕ 在沉积物中的垂直分布与沉积速率和生物的混合速率有关,并且可以用一个简单的数学模式进行模拟

海南岛三亚港现代沉积速率的研究

对１９８８年所采集的海南岛三亚港６个沉积柱样作了沉积结构及＾２１０Ｐｂ放射性分析。结果表明，三亚港潮汐通道及航道上，沉积物主要为细颗粒的粉砂、粘土，沉积速率为０．９１－１．２４ｃｍ／ａ，近年来砂质物的输入，反映了疏浚等人类活动对该区的影响；外港浅滩砂洲区的沉积速率小于０．４ｃｍ／ａ；潮汐通道中过剩＾２１０Ｐｂ总量亦明显大于港口的其它区域。     

昆明滇池沉积速率的测定

于１９８９年１２月采用＾２１０Ｐｂ法测定昆明滇池（草海和外海）两个柱样的沉积速率，其值分别为０．２９ｃｍ／ａ和０．２８ｃｍ／ａ，平均值约为０．２９ｃｍ／ａ。在沉积柱１２ｃｍ以上，由于人为影响，其沉积速率没有规律，估计约有３０－４０年的历史。在１２ｃｍ以下，＾２１０Ｐｂｅｘ随深度的变化明显地表现出规律性，以０．２９ｃｍ／ａ的速率计算，从１２ｃｍ到４０ｃｍ这一段大约有９０年的沉积历史。

Bioturbation depths, rates and processes in Massachusetts Bay sediments inferred from modeling of Pb and Pu profiles

Profiles of ²¹⁰Pb and ^{239 + 240}Pu from sediment cores collected throughout Massachusetts Bay (water depths of 36–192 m) are interpreted with the aid of a numerical sediment-mixing model to infer bioturbation depths, rates and processes. The nuclide data suggest extensive bioturbation to depths of 25–35 cm. Roughly half the cores have ²¹⁰Pb and ^{239 + 240}Pu profiles that decrease monotonically from the surface and are consistent with biodiffusive mixing. Bioturbation rates are reasonably well constrained by these profiles and vary from 0.7 to 40 cm² yr⁻¹. As a result of this extensive reworking, however, sediment ages cannot be accurately determined from these radionuclides and only upper limits on sedimentation rates (of 0.3 cm yr⁻¹) can be inferred. The other half of the radionuclide profiles are characterized by subsurface maxima in each nuclide, which cannot be reproduced by biodiffusive mixing models. A numerical model is used to demonstrate that mixing caused by organisms that feed at the sediment surface and defecate below the surface can cause the subsurface maxima, as suggested by previous work. The deep penetration depths of excess ²¹⁰Pb and ^{239 + 240}Pu suggest either that the organisms release material over a range of >15 cm depth or that biodiffusive mixing mediated by other organisms is occurring at depth. Additional constraints from surficial sediment ²³⁴Th data suggest that in this half of the cores, the vast majority of the present-day flux of recent, nuclide-bearing material to these core sites is transported over a timescale of a month or more to a depth of a few centimeters below the sediment surface. As a consequence of the complex mixing processes, surface sediments include material spanning a range of ages and will not accurately record recent changes in contaminant deposition.

台湾地区湖泊水库沉积速率初步探讨

对1989－1991年期间，在台湾地区采集的5个湖泊的沉积物岩芯和22个湖泊水库的表层沉积物，进行了沉积物超量210Pb活性的分析，以探讨其沉积速率。其中，小鬼湖沉积物岩芯取部分样品进行14C定年，以与210Pb所得结果比较。结果表明，数千年来，台湾高山湖泊、次高山湖泊的沉积速率相当稳定，除万里池外，大多介于0．06－0．16cm／a之间。火山湖的210Pb活性较一般湖泊高，这是由于火山湖当地安山岩及地下水释出较多的210Pb所致，但这并不意味其沉积速率慢。所以应用210Pb对火山湖沉积物定年时，须作特别修正。平地湖泊目前沉积速率，除了大埔水库高达6．42cm／a外，大多介于0．5—3、2cm／a之间，比高山湖泊的沉积速率高约10－20倍。另外，由水库淤沙资料显示1），历年平均沉积速率都比目前的沉积速率快数倍，其中以石门、白河、乌山头、阿公店4个水库的平均沉积速率较快。     

渤海辽东湾现代沉积速率和沉积通量

辽东湾是渤海的三大湾之一,进入该区的主要河流有辽河、大凌河、滦河和六股河等，水深一般在10.2-35m之间，沉积环境很复杂。测定、研究该区现代沉积速率和沉积通量对沉积动力学的研究和海洋油气开发工程都有意义。 近年来,国内外学者在利用210Pb法测定江河、湖泊和海洋陆架的沉积速率等方面取得了有价值的成果。到目前为止,除在渤海锦州湾测得两个岩芯的沉积速率外(夏明等，1983),关于辽东湾大面积海域的现代沉积速率和沉积通量还未见报道。本文介绍了该区现代沉积速率和沉积通量,利用210Pb的垂直剖面,探讨该区近百年来的沉积作用和沉积环境,划分了沉积强度区。     

Accumulation rates and sources of sediments and organic carbon on the Palos Verdes shelf based on radioisotopic tracers (137Cs, 239,240Pu, 210Pb, 234Th, 238U and 14C)

We report here bioturbation and sediment accumulation rates determined from replicate sediment cores at four different sampling sites on the Palos Verdes shelf, Southern California, using bomb fallout and natural radionuclides (¹³⁷Cs, ^239,240Pu, ²¹⁰Pb, ²³⁴Th, and ¹⁴C), along with supporting measurements of organic carbon (OC), porosity and granulometry. Present-day particle reworking, on time scales of several months, is restricted to the upper 3 cm, with rates ranging from 13 to 200 cm²/year, as deduced from ²³⁴Th_xs profiles. There is little evidence that particle reworking reached depths significantly greater than 5 cm. Post-1963 (or post-1971) sediment accumulation rates ranged from 0.7 to 1.4 g/cm²/year (equivalent to 1.1–1.8 cm/year for surficial sediments), as calculated from Pu and Cs isotope profiles, with little change over time or distance from the outfall. Lateral transport of older sediment and multiple sediment sources on the Palos Verdes shelf is suggested from radiocarbon measurements on foraminifera and bulk sedimentary organic matter at two sampling sites, which showed variable, old and refractory sources of OC. Pre-1953 sediments accumulated at rates that were at least 0.4 g/cm²/year (≥0.3 cm/year), based on ²¹⁰Pb_xs dating. Given the abundance of sediment sources to the Palos Verdes shelf, the high sedimentation rates, and shallow particle mixed layers, contaminant-enriched layers should continue to move deeper into the sediments.     

Radionuclides in Arctic sea ice: Tracers of sources,fates and ice transit time scales

Arctic sea ice can incorporate sediment and associated chemical species during its formation in shallow shelf environments and can also intercept atmospherically transported material during transit. Release of this material in ice ablation areas (e.g. the Fram Strait) enhances fluxes of both sediments and associated species in such areas. We have used a suite of natural (⁷Be, ²¹⁰Pb) and anthropogenic (¹³⁷Cs, ²³⁹Pu, ²⁴⁰Pu) radionuclides in sea ice, sea-ice sediments (SIS), sediment trap material and bottom sediments from the Fram Strait to estimate transit times of sea ice from source to ablation areas, calculate radionuclide fluxes to the Fram Strait and investigate the role of sea-ice entrained sediments in sedimentation processes. Sea ice intercepts and transports the atmospherically supplied radionuclides ⁷Be and ²¹⁰Pb, which are carried in the ice and are scavenged by any entrained SIS. All of the ⁷Be and most of the excess ²¹⁰Pb measured in SIS collected in the Fram Strait are added to the ice during transit through the Arctic Ocean, and we use these radionuclides as chronometers to calculate ice transit times for individual ice floes. Transit times estimated from the ²¹⁰Pb inventories in two ice cores are 1–3 years. Values estimated from the ⁷Be/²¹⁰Pb_excess activity ratio of SIS are about 3–5 years. Finally, equilibrium values of the activity ratio of ²¹⁰Pb to its granddaughter ²¹⁰Po in the ice cores indicate transit times of at least 2 years. These transit times are consistent with back-trajectory analyses of the ice floes. The latter, as well as the clay-mineral assemblage of the SIS (low smectite and high illite content), suggest that the sampled sea-ice floes originated from the eastern Siberian Arctic shelf seas such as the eastern Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea. This result is in agreement with the relatively low activities of ^239,240Pu and ¹³⁷Cs and the ²⁴⁰Pu/²³⁹Pu atom ratios (∼0.18, equivalent to that in global fallout) in SIS, indicating that prior global atmospheric fallout, rather than nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities, forms the main source of these anthropogenic radionuclides reaching the western Fram Strait at the time of sampling (1999). Transport of radionuclides by sea ice through the Arctic Ocean, either associated with entrained SIS or dissolved in the ice, accounts for a significant flux in ablation areas such as the Fram Strait, up to several times larger than the current atmospheric flux in the area. Calculated fluxes derived from sea-ice melting compare well to fluxes obtained from sediment traps deployed in the Fram Strait and are consistent with inventories in bottom sediments. ²⁴⁰Pu/²³⁹Pu atomic ratios lower than 0.18 in bottom sediments from the Fram Strait provide evidence that plutonium from a source other than atmospheric fallout has reached the area. Most likely sources of this Pu include tropospheric fallout from atomic weapons testing of the former Soviet Union prior to 1963 and Pu released from nuclear reprocessing facilities, intercepted and transported by sea ice to the ablation areas. Future work is envisaged to more thoroughly understand the actual mechanisms by which radionuclides are incorporated in sea ice, focusing on the quantification of the efficiency of scavenging by SIS and the effect of melting and refreezing processes over the course of several years during transit.

河口海岸环境沉积速率研究方法

沉积速率是河口海岸沉积环境的重要参数，对于河口海岸地质历史时期沉积速率的研究，大多采用^14C年龄值计算；现代河口海岸沉积速率的研究方法较多，常见的有河流输沙法，海图对比法，GIS法，放射性同位素测年法等。^14C法结合考古，孢粉等方法，能比较真实地反映河口海岸地质历史时期的沉积速率，对于现代河口海岸沉积，由于GIS和DEM方法的发展和计算机功能的支持，使海图对比的方法克服了手工带来的误差，目前仍然是一种可以使用的方法。放射性同位素^210Pb,^137Cs,^239,240Pu法使沉积速率的计算趋于定量化，在一定时间区域范围内，多种同位素测年同时运用，相互印证，从而使河口现代沉积速率更加准确。
