Abstract

The study relates to the use of the 210Pb method for determining sedimentation rates, sedimentation accumulation rates and identifying post-depositional processes. The analysis was based on seven cores of recent sediments collected from different parts of Lake Raduńskie Górne, which is a typical channel lake with diverse bottom morphology. We used alpha spectrometry to determine 210Pb activities in sediment samples and a CF:CS dating model to obtain mean sediment accumulation rates. The results show significant differences between coring sites with highest values in the deepest part of the lake and lowest within the shallow and flat bottom areas. The reason for such a large diversity is the lake basin morphology, e.g., steep slopes and complex configuration of the lake bottom, most probably responsible for the post-depositional sediment replacements.
Keywords: lake sediments; 210Pb; CFCS model; sediment accumulation rate; channel lake lake sediments; 210Pb; CFCS model; sediment accumulation rate; channel lake
