The determination of 210Pb in the sediments: sedimentation rates from the Terengganu coastal waters, Malaysia

Detail 210Pb analysis of two core samples collected with a gravity corer from the coastal water of Terengganu South China Sea has provided a chronology of the sediments identifying the subtle yet distinct variations in recent sedimentation. This investigation of recent sedimentation with the use of...
