The determination of sediment acceration rate using 210Pb in Johore Coastal Water, Malaysia

Ocean sediments give information on the paleoclimatic evolution in the geological past which gives detailed information on both the age of the sediments and both paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic conditions during sedimentation. One possible way to date sediments is with 210Pb method which can...
