Description

Two kinds of nuclear techniques are used in sedimentology. Determination of the sediment mass at a given place using radiometric gages; determination of a sediment mass in motion using nuclear tracer techniques. Some recent applications are described: studies on dredging wastes; study of sedimentation mechanisms in a estuary; study of the possible transport of coarse materials by the swell; adjustement of sedimentological models

Abstract (French)

Les techniques nucleaires utilisees en sedimentologie sont de deux sortes: determination de la masse sedimentaire en un lieu donne associees aux techniques de capteurs nucleaires; determination d'une masse sedimentaire en mouvement associees aux techniques d'indicateurs nucleaires. Quelques applications recentes sont decrites: etudes de rejets de dragage; etude des mecanismes sedimentaires dans un estuaire; etude de la possibilite du transport de materiaux grossiers sous l'action des houles; tarage de modeles sedimentologiques
