Be-7 in the study of particle mixing rates in nearshore and lake sediments
- 1. Yale Univ., New Haven, CT
Description
The use of cosmogenic Be-7 (half-life 53.3 days) was investigated as a tracer for short-term particle-mixing in nearshore marine and lake sediments. The study included three parts: measurement of atmospheric deposition of Be-7 at New Haven, Connecticut; comparison of short-term mixing rates as deduced from distributions of excess Th-234 and Be-7 in sediments of Long Island Sound; and determination of short-term mixing rates in sediments of Lake Whitney, New Haven, Connecticut
